Discussion: Training week

Sounds like you had a great week. Did you stay in Furnas?
We visited Azores a couple of years ago - had booked Furnas originally but ended up in Ponta Delgada. We mostly made longer walks/hikes and ran only once - at the Lago de Sete Cidades. Did you find any O maps?

Yes we had excellent week. And right, Furnas, Terran Nostra Garden Hotel. We decided to go there becaus from there you go running hiking straight from the doorstep without having to use bus/taxi/car. Otherwise it is difficult to do 2 proper outings per day. We got a nice big O map 5 km from Furnas town. There is also Sprint map of Ponta Delgada and two other maps, but we used just this Furnas map. We would have had to skip some hikes to get to those maps, one week is so short time.

I tried to do one rune and one hike per day. Good for my legs at the moment, at least better than two running sessions per day.

I post some gps trails and other stuff later.

I think Terra Nostra Garden is the place we booked initially... We screwed up the bookings though and had to change into Ponta Delgada - didn´t matter much since we had planned more on sight-seeing (by car) and hiking than running from our doorstep.

OMG, I'm impressed. Looks like it will be difficult to take back those 17 s.

jwolff, no need to worry. My calves are your best best allies on this matter.

As well! I'm in such a bad shape it doesn't hurt anywhere...
