Today I replaced my weekly long run with a local race in the neighboring village (43rd edition!). I didn't train for it (only been doing easy runs since May) so I took it slow and increased a bit the pace near the end. I had a lot of fun, despite the brutal elevation profile! #running
My next race is a local 33K this November, but with 700m of elevation it's close to a flat marathon effort-wise. Can't say I'm not scared. I have been averaging 50-60K per week since a few months, which I think is a good base to start training. My only goal is to finish it in one piece.
