Buggy For Sale In Dubai

Late January

I run for many years and I dealt with many types of racing: track, cross, road, dirt tracks, short races, marathons. I never ride in stages over a jogging, cultural and tourist !


I always liked to run and also to undergo training to those who would turn up their noses at many love of travel, type grind km along a path a few hundred meters back and forth! But now is different: I have a goal in mind lap, my goal will be mileage! More than 1,000 km in less than a month and a half require some 'resistance.

The goal of the week just closed was to run every day, beyond the commitments of everyday life (and even here you could open another chapter ...). In the end I scored 79 km, giving priority to the bottom slowly (around 4'35 "/ km), but without neglecting any variation on the theme (repeated short and long fast):

Monday 24 / 1:
Fund slow : 13 km in 59'22''
Tuesday 25 / 1:
Fund slow : 14 km in 1:04 '13''
Wednesday 26 / 1:
Repeated : 2x4.000 respectively in 15'57''(3'59 "/ km) and 16'26''(4'07" / km) 1 km Rec with very slow
Total 14 km, including risc.4 km d ef. 1 km
Thursday 27 / 1:
Fund slow : 10 km in 46'02''
+ Short fast : 4 km in 16'24''(4'06 "/ km) Total
15 km, incl. def. 1 km
Friday 28 / 1:
Fund slow : 12 in 54'35 'with progress in the last 600 meters
Saturday 29 / 1:
Fund slow : 11 km in 49'43''
Sunday 30 / 1:
Rest

Unfortunately I have reduced the Wednesday workout than expected: after the second I repeated my legs hard and I did not felt to do the third. Instead on Thursday, although not as fast as on other occasions, I had a good feeling.
Sunday however, the program had to run, but complicit in the snow and a bit 'of truancy, got out a forced rest. I could have run in the snow, but I did not feel.
And go with a new week ... less than 75 days to go!

Let the numbers! Genesis of an idea

Many runners develop fondness for numbers and statistics: how many kilometers I walked in a week? and in one month and one year? At what pace I ran the last km? and based on the average I'm taking what is the projection of the final time?
So I picked up the stage around the calendar We combine the Province and with the help of powerful software :-) I prepared a little 'statistics now I present to you. It was also an opportunity to better reflect the commitment required and some details. It is not excluded some small aggiustatina the timetable, particularly in the final.

The preventive program We combine the Province de intended to cross 190 towns in 60 stages races in 40 days. Will run every day, half of them with stops bigiornaliere (morning and afternoon). On average in each stage over 4.2 common: a minimum of two to a maximum of six (and one day will be the maximum of 10 municipalities). We will cross the country that gave birth to Pelizza by Volpedo and Fausto Coppi, the places of the partisan resistance, the land of fine wines as the Cortese di Gavi, the Timorasso of Tortona hills and Dolcetto d'Ovada (just to name a few) , beautiful views ... A hilly ride that will discover the history, art, food and wine and beautiful landscapes.

There are 1015.5 km in all! The stage will be to average 16.9 km with a minimum of 11 km and a maximum of 23 km. This variety is because I have traced the paths that allow us to pass to the municipalities of all municipalities in the province and leaving and arriving in the center of the country. Daily and then we run 25.4 miles: from a minimum of 11 to a maximum of 41.5. The average weekly instead will be 177.7 km with a peak of 228 km
The miles to be ground under the feet are so many and not just a pair of shoes. I am currently trying to figure out the rhythm to take to get to the more functional phone: for sure I'll have to slow down a bit, since this is not a race but a ride in stages where it counts discover what is around.
