Fear & Reward

An early morning run on Mars.Being very anxious, when running above 2500m, I always have this mixed feeling of excitement and fear: “Damn, it feels so good to be up here me, myself and I, with the whole mountain all for me.” Alternated to “I haven’t met a single human being since I left home; […]

Runners are no hero

I hate it when people speak ofrunners as “heroes.” Runners are no heroes. They’re not saving anyone’s life. They only do it for themselves, so the word selfish would be more appropriate than Hero. Is it hard? Hell no! It’s just fun. Sure, we struggle sometimes, but if it weren’t something joyful, we would not […]

Seealpsee

The place to be (early in the morning). It probably became one of Switzerland’s most popular Instagram spots in the last few years.

Alpstein Aerials

We, trail runners, run on mountains to feel high. We want to see the world from above. We run high to leave behind our daily routine, made of chaos, traffic jam, smog, noise, and concrete… We are out there looking for inner peace, embraced by fresh air with that good smell of trees, grass, and […]

The Runfromdivan Project

Back in december 2019, on a group run organised by Runaway shop in Milan (Via Ugo Bassi, 22) I met a guy named Artem, who’s also obviously passionated about running. And I discovered some time after our run, that he created a curious project called Runfromdivan. This project is based mainly on Instagram as a […]
