Remember: Head OUT into the wind.

Hard run last Wednesday - I made the classic winter running mistake of heading out with the wind behind me on a simple out-and-back route. Made for a tough second half of the run, and a real struggle to maintain the pace!

Running At Altitude V: RGB Colour Scheme

Going out for a run this evening was tough, but I made it. I ran around the now closed pistes that encircle La Tania - up the RED Moretta Blanch (steep - hands and knees for the last 100m or so), across the GREEN Plan Fontaine, and then down the BLUE Folyères. If I can...

Running at Altitude III: So Tired!

I still had to do my daily run on Wednesday, even though Algernond and I had just been skiing across the whole of the Three Valleys. Somewhere around 30 miles or so on our skis, and somewhat less in various lifts along the way. So I did an ‘easy’ road run - up towards Méribel...

Run at altitude II: To the cashpoint

Tuesday this week, and the ATM in La Tania was out of order again. An ideal opportunity to run down to Le Praz, and around the village, looking for the hole in the wall. Workout: Type: Run Date: 01/13/2009 Total Time: 00:30:00.00 Calories: 392 Distance: 3 miles Average Pace: 10:00/mile
