Running to Think

Two weeks after the not-easy-at-all 80 km of Paris, the only purpose has been to get back to the road with an easy pace and relax as much as possible.  7/04/2014 9 km on the hills of Sart Tilman. I must admit that I've been running easy here. Hills were not scary but I never tried to attack one. I also found a new path, quite steep, that...

A boring week with total mileage of 75 km. 19/03/2014 After a fast recovery from the trip back from Spain, I finally met my hills in Liege Sart Tilman. They gave me a painful welcome though: half marathon on steep irregular terrain.

I started this week doing something I would have liked to do a while ago: resting. 03/03/2014  04/03/2014 intervals on a longer distance of 3km for a total run of 23 km. Really cool interval...

Better late than never, of course. Year 2014 already had the flavour of an intense year full of things to take care of and targets to achieve. And that feeling was not wrong...
