Endurance Trail

Tackling a long trail, or rather, an Endurance Trail, to give it an official definition, requires not so much the observance of tables, diagrams and pre-packaged formulas but a good dose of awareness, tenacity, the ability to make decisions quickly, to adapt to the the changing mountain environment. Elements that constitute only part of the 'material' to be used in a long and gradual physical and mental preparation. The author has seen, listened to, chatted with and followed many athletes who participated in the editions of the Tor des Géants, the legendary race for those who love long-distance running. He rummaged through their baggage and, often, their feelings. He then put the teachings and tricks into practice. Telling them in this text that reads like an adventure book.
