Today, after a long working journey visiting one supplier in North-East cost of Italy (Lerici) I put my Running shoes on, decided to have a short run around the beautiful landscape and so do a hard reset after work.
The day was nice, a little humid and very warm as corresponding to the place and summer season, so I though I will have a 30' run, discovering the place and then I will have a bath in the sea. That was the plan.
I started my journey from the hotel, taking the road to the south, along the coast line. So I started quietly having a comfortable pace of 5'/km. After 1.5 kms the road ended as I arrived to a very nice part of Tellaro village called Punta Treggiano.
The view was so beautiful that I took the following picture, showing the sunlight crossing the clouds in the horizon.
Unfortunatelly I have just starting to enjoy the road when it suddenly finished so, I check in the iphone using the app. Wikiloc , trying to find a good path to follow and then, resume my run. Finally I found it, it was a narrow path that looked as disappearing between the riffs and a very densed Mediterranean forest.
The narrow path became so hilly, I started to climb up and down and I felt as I was running in a hard-trail. My Heart frequency was high, more than usual, sometimes reaching 165 bpm. I was suffering not just because my groan strain but also because aerobically I am not fit at all. Anyway, the landscape and the place I was discovering really deserved it.
After 35 minutes of climbing-running, being already too late, the sunset was already on going, I decided to come back. The path was really long and I though that I will have more time any other place to get lost myself in there, but, this time, with a better plan.
Finally, a total of 55 minutes of good training. Below the charts:
At the end, the only thing that I accomplished according to my plan was the sea bath I had after the run, that was as a cure for my exhausted body, LoL:
Have a nice day and Keep on running!!!!
