Fully enjoying the experience during the Ultratrail di Lavaredo (120K, ….) and starting a new professional branch as a self-employed person.
Andreas - Lavaredo 120
Two years ago I contacted Erik with the question if he wanted to guide me to run the Ultra Trail de Lavaredo. I was ready for great challenges, but not always trained in a structured way. Of course I wanted to finish that race, but especially in a way that I could enjoy the great landscape.
The first year of corona caused the race to be postponed, but was actually an educational experience in my retraining for ultra running. I often had minor injuries from running too fast unnecessarily, and noticed that my mindset during other ultras was still too focused on performance instead of the journey itself.
We really tackled the preparation for the Lavaredo as it should be. Erik's schedules were full of variety and ensured a long and broad preparation. I got to know all the hills around Leuven this winter. These laid the foundation for the real work.
During the specific preparation period, the necessary building blocks were further laid for a great Lavaredo. The attention in this period for building the right mindset during this period has finally prepared me for the Lavaredo.
"Of all the Ultras, the Lavaredo was the most beautiful of them all, not only because of the course but also because of the extent to which I was prepared as an ultra runner, with the right physical and mental capabilities".
