Day trip to Bologna, Italy (while we still can).
Loop from Alessio Tenani’s flat up to Madonna di S. Luca church and back via the ‘world’s longest portico’.
When I did some research about runs in Bologna I thought I’d ask Alessio, a longtime Italian Elite runner, for some maps and ideas. Instead, I got an airport pickup, a run with the man himself and shower & lunch afterwards. Result!
The only issue was that Alessio is a lot fitter than me so when we got halfway up the steep hill (2k/220mcl) I had to sheepishly ask him to slow down a bit. Otherwise lovely views and late summer sunshine.
Afterwards did a nice walking tour of Bologna and climbed their big tower. It all just oozes culture which was fun.
