Last Friday was 25 minutes uphill (previously 20 min) so this morning’s target was 30.
Very tough but I felt good enough after the downhill jog to tack on an extra 3 km.
At the highest point was a view of the Canigó mountain (wreathed in clouds here) which is a big symbol for Catalans. Today is their “national” day which is more celebrated on the Spanish side.
I have no plans to run up it ⛰😁
That looks stunning! But yes, it would be a pretty hefty hill run 🥵
Well done on your 30 minutes though 💪
Experienced walkers regularly climb it so it’s almost inevitable that some ultra runners have done it. I prefer looking at it 😎
We use to have a place on “the other side” in Spain and would explore around that area. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous but that was way before my running addiction and so I was able to look at mountains then and just admire them instead of wondering if I could possibly run them..... 🙄
By golly, I’ve just looked it up and there is a regular race: 32 km over 2000m climb. Amazing!!
Do you know what.... I just knew you’d google if there was a run there 😳
Something to aim for HF?
Yup, good guess IP. I couldn’t resist. There’s a video of a crowd of otherwise sane human beings chattering happily at the start, then dragging their thin, exhausted bodies up a rocky path. In 2022 perhaps? 😎
Perhaps you should think about a VRB meet up for it HF!
We’re mad enough!!😜
Beautiful view, unfortunately we can't see Canigou (from the other side), from our house! We have walked up it though, and I remember it being a real slog!! We are (not) celebrating Catalan national day, but will try to cook the traditional rice and seafood dish this evening.
Your getting stronger and stronger on those hills Heavyfoot, brilliant.
Beautiful photo 😊
Uphill all The Way (or so it seemed)
A March PhotoQuest: An uphill challenge!
