Five weeks down the road of doing the weekly travel to altitude

After 5 weeks, we can – luckily – state that we`re settled in Colorado Springs. Everything is falling into place and we are getting into our routines. Like Nathalie, I`m getting pretty much adapted to altitude. Even though I have to (re)adapt every single weekend. Both the mileage and the quality are progressing in the way we want to.

My old pair of Brooks Ghost 4 hit a nice mileage of ~1,000K. Luckily I'm a forefoot striker. Can you notice the difference with one of my brand new pairs?


Golden tip if you do multiple workouts on one day: alternate your running shoe pairs to keep them in optimal condition. The shock absorption material needs ~24 hours to completely recover from a longer workout.
