The Dolomiti Extreme Trail is what the name tells you; extreme. 3.800 meters altitude, 57,5 km of running, and a fight against cut-off times.

First run in Italy done; Viserba - Rimini - Viserba. It didn’t go as hoped, but at least I ran again.

First run in Italy of this year

Yeah, I’m running again. I missed it so much. The sun shines, the birds sing, and it’s around 20 degrees. What else can a man ask for?

Finally running again

Five days till ERYRI 25k at Ultra Trail Snowdonia. We’re in Wales. This is the sixth country I will be running a race in.

Today my plan to run in the Alps went wrong. My legs aren’t ready to run again, so I gave them an extra day of rest. Although, I did walk.

No running in the Alps for me

Just a couple of days and I will be in Italy to run in the mountains around Como. I am really looking forward to that. Real mountains!

We'll spend a lot of time in Italy this summer, teaching yoga. Let's see if I can find some trail runs to do there.

Sitting on the sofa, looking at the grey sky and hard wind outside, daydreaming of sunny days and thinking back of my run up Mount Conero.

Matteo is a runner, so that already makes him a good guy. Plus he’s my guinea pig, as I'm making a training schedule for his first marathon.

We’re in Italy, which means visiting my parents-in-law. Visiting my mother-in-law means eating Italian food. And now, I know how to eat it.
