  • Ashamed for today's performance. It's hard to be so slow! I guess I have not much energy left for this season. It's been long but I wanted to run a good half marathon and honor the national champs, it turned out to be nothing more than good training. I'll take that. Racing is just so tempting for me sometimes. But it needs care and timing, so it'll be good to find the right perspective from now on. Happy for @glo_87 @bani.barbara and #cavalinenahimana taking the national title for the road racing season. Fella @cecemaestri's dangerous racing strategy paid off and earned him a wonderful second place in the national champs. Kudos!! Great performances by @ul_fabius and @simone_pessina on their road to the double distance. Thanks once again for the support and caring of my/our coach @tito_tiberti. I disappointed him a bit! Thanks for the nice picture, too. @fra_puppinho is done for today.

  • Time is always in my thoughts. I will never find a solution. My mind is too complicated to be understood #student #stancerun #athletesunfiltered #itsalittlebitmessy #relativity #blackfeather #spacetime

  • Non ho potuto trovare una foto bella come quella di @xavidecoursa l'anno scorso a Pettinengo, che mi era rimasta impressa per la forza, l'eleganza del gesto di un atleta che corre in maniera artistica, classica, che per me é esemplificativa di stile, idee e sogni. Ieri al giro di Pettinengo, una di quelle gare dall'albo d'oro mitico, che sopravvive solo grazie alla passione di un pugno di organizzatori innamorati della corsa, tra la fatica e gli occhi socchiusi, nella mente avevo ancora energie per pensare a un compagno che da troppo tempo non ritrovo sulla linea di partenza ma che vorrei ritornasse presto con noi, e sono sicuro lo farà. My run was ok, I'm a bit tired for the long season but I don't want to give up the opportunities to have some fun. 29'17 (3'06/km) for a very hilly 9.4km course is a decent time for what I'm currently capable of, but, to put it in perspective, it's 2'55 slower than the course record set by yesterday's winner Jacob Kiplimo, whose pace was 2'48/km and was faster than many, many champions who ran in Pettinengo before (Lel, Tergat, Mosop, Ivuti, Edris to mention just a few..) I'm not following a very strict schedule or program because I feel the need for setting my own limits and necessities, but I'm trying to be careful. Maybe I'll run marathon by the end of the year, maybe not. Next race will be the half marathon national champs in Foligno in just a week. #run #girodipettinengo #girointernazionaledipettinengo #athetesunfiltered #noboundaries #endlessroad #dopocorriancora #attenersialleindicazioni #chestnuts #babysittingforkenyans #michelle #winetrail #castagnata #postisenzasenso #longlegged #saucony #bepetebam #stance #stancerun
  • Last one of the mountain running series. I won very few races this year, just "my" @trofeojackcanali and @flettatrail #piztrivertikal, but results were pretty consistent throughout the season. Time to get back on the road, where another season is just starting. All things considered, the choice to focus on my weaknesses (speed and strength) paid off and was important for my growth. I improved on all kind of terrains and surfaces and reduced the gap from the best runners. I still believe the discipline has great room for improvement, considered that I was 7th in the world in at @wmramountainrun world champs in Andorra. Just not my place, as I also proved last year in Premana. I should be maybe 30th... It's a matter of time; this will change as more and more athletes are competing and the sport at the highest level is becoming more professional. What I see is that in mountain running there's an élite that keeps the level of the competition really high, strives for improvement and works its butt off for the growth of the sport. But there is also a quite vast amount of people who believes and pretends to be a top athlete but has no interest in growing the sport and lives off the lack of culture and the confusion of our little world. Again, i think it's a matter of time, I see positive changes and a better future. Real athletes and true champions will be recognized and given the value they deserve. Right now it's time to step back and be happy of the work that has been done, while mountains look at us from the above. See you next year, waiting for new experiences and adventures. #mountainrunning #6times #6timesseason #gandaesfasciumi #chiavenna #kvlagunc #punksandpoets #reflections #athletesunfiltered #keepdreaming #run Photo: @alexiscourthoud for @corsainmontagna.it
  • Today you won the World Cup... I think you deserved it, or at least this is how I feel it should have gone. It was between me and you, in the end, and I am proud to have given my best. There is always passion in a story to be told. Geoffrey Ndungu... Ace! ✌🏾 #gikunindungu #mountainrunning #6times #finishers #fuckingenough #anotheroneinthebag #run
