  • weather sucks 😆 In a couple of hours I 'm going to a local small race (44th edition tho!!) and it’s raining a lot.

    This week the most noticiable feat is that I managed to be consistent with my plank challenge, so I comfortably established over 2’. A couple of long (2h.) walks and two easy run sessions. Now race day!

    Even on weeks like this I’m greatful I can run, enjoy running with others.

    long dark weeks to come 😝










  • None.

    I have followed some in the past, and I’ve had enough 🤚 They all almost understimate how much time we need to recover (life happens y’know). Too much high intensity training even to longer distances.

    I have never hired a trainer, maybe I should consider in the future if a need to set a goal time or whatever. If I could afford it.





  • yes, you have to be good to make it into the breakaway today. If some one in the breakaway is close enough in GC he will force the peloton to keep them under control and the average speed will make the stage even harder (like stage 12)

    I’m not sure who needs more make the stage harder, TJV or UAE. It might play into Vinegaard’s advange make it dificult all day long, so Pogacar has not that amazing final rush.

    IDK, of course :D

    Altra are great, I have one pair to long road runs (over HM). Wide toe box, quite flexible, BUT also cushioned so, in my opinion, they may not give you feedback from your feet to automatically correct form. Merrell, Xero shoes, vivobarefoot… have good light, wide and flexible minimalist shoes.

    BEFORE transitioning to minimalist shoes PLEASE read and inform about to do it in a progressive way, safely. I would recomend use minimalist shoes, not spend time in both worlds. Reduce your running distance/volume for some weeks to adapt and learn.

    DO NOT OVERDO in the first days, your soleus and aquiles tendon could suffer if you run too much. It depends on your current running form though, so you may transition without issues.

    If possible, spend time at home barefoot without socks and let your feet “awake”, then go easy on short runs every other day and do some drills at home/work (calf raises, etc.) to strength your feet.

    PLEASE, read and inform before proceed. GOOD LUCK!

    congrats for your PB 🤗

    on the ITB issue

    I solved my problems about 10 years ago:

    • moved to minimalist shoes (barefoot running eventually) that promoted a better running form and be more strong and stable.

    transition took time and patience, so put ego aside and look at the long term.

    In that time ITB stretching with this pose in a relaxed and mantained way helped me a lot to relieve pain and also be preventive
