Fifty | Ninety | Twenty-Five | Vesuvio
20 December 2022
One of my goals this year was to run at least 25 km a week. Of the 50 weeks so far I only succeeded in 31, but I did average 24.5 km a week. And this doesn't include the 3 weeks I spent walking across Spain. As far as races go, this year saw me do more than I'd ever done before (19). It was a nice bounce back from Covid restrictions! I've been thinking about my running goals for next year, and with things a little more settled in the world I'm going to try training for specific races again. The first of this is the Vesuvio Ultramarathon in May. My goal is not to DNF by completing the 50K with 3400m of vertical gain in under 8 hours. This will be a stretch to say the least! I'm also considering some other race travel goals in terms of countries and the 11 remaining Cantons. Along the way to Mt. Vesuvius I think I'll also probably run on some other volcanoes . . .
