many km.

week with 4000d +. I run all year or I’m in the mountains all year.
The important thing is to have fun.

My ideal distance is over 150km

For me the ideal days are Saturday and Sunday is during the week
Tuesday and Wednesday, almost always alone.
The ideal day you don’t run is it?
I don’t usually run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, because rest is part
of training
What would I do if, through evolution, man did not develop into a runner?
If I couldn’t run, I would walk. If I couldn’t walk I would swim,
the important thing is to enjoy nature and life.

I don’t have any movies or specific reading about running. I like books by
adventure, my favorite book and Endurance by Alfred Lansing
