Race preparation: everything you really need

When preparing for an Ultra of this level, every training session has a specific goal. Giorgio knows this route well and knows how important it is to arrive both physically and mentally ready. For much of his preparation, he chooses The North Face Vectiv Enduris 4, a shoe that allows him to train consistently even on longer runs. Altamesa 500 V2, on the other hand, comes into play when the goal is to rack up kilometers while reducing fatigue and preserving energy. But it can also be a key component on race day.

The Cortina race: emotions, choices, and new lessons

The weekend began with a talk organized by The North Face , dedicated to the physical and mental management of an Ultra : a moment of discussion that introduced the topics Giorgio would later experience in the field. The following day brought all the emotions that make a race of this level special: the magic of the start, the sunrise over the Dolomites, and a first section of the course tackled with excellent sensations. The strategy also included a change of shoes mid-race : The North Face Enduris 4 in the first section, more runnable and faster, and the Altamesa 500 V2 in the second, to face the fatigue with greater comfort and protection. The heat and stomach problems, however, forced him to stop at km 97. Even a withdrawal, however, can leave something precious: new lessons to take with you towards the next challenge.
