Today felt like one of these **Let‘s just run a little more** days – and so I did. Great weather, good bodily condition, early enough for it not being too warm, perfect! I was in no rush, but kept a rather steady pace. My water flask was depleted ~5 kilometers before returning home, so no problems here. What a great way to start the day! #Running #applewatchultra2

This. Is. The. Bat. Cave. – And it literally is, since that former train tunnel has been shuttered, leaving only a small opening for bats to enter/exit. There are some discussions about opening up the tunnel to pedestrians and cyclists again, but I prefer it this way. It’s one of these spots on my runs, I frequently stop by and just watch for a moment. #Running #applewatchultra2

Today is spontaneous day! When I reached the 8 kilometers mark, I impromptu decided to switch routes. And it was a good decision, since I‘ve discovered some new corners… And since I was #Running mainly in the woods, it wasn’t too hot (I started out at 11 degrees Celsius, but returned to ~18). I‘ll add some pics in a second post right away… #applewatchultra2

Whoa, intense temperature drop from 32 degrees C yesterday to 16 degrees C this morning. I was actually feeling the chill during the first three kilometers, then I had adjusted and was trodding along just fine. Jacinda Ardern‘s autobiography is a very fine book to listen to, I can really recommend it to everyone. So, after a week of vacationing, it’s time to buy some groceries… #Running #applewatchultra2 #audiobooks

Ooooh, hot and humid! From the start, this day was a little too much of both. But it felt good to be back on my home track. And listening to A DIFFERENT KIND OF POWER by Jacinda Ardern is a great experience – both for her cool accent and her story. Happy to be home again and in the shade, it’s gonna be a brutally hot day. I actually could do with a spontaneous bit of rain and wind… 🤷🏻‍♂️ #Running #applewatchultra2 #audiobooks

Last run in #italy for this year, maybe I‘ll be #Running here again in July of 2026, there might be a gig with the blues band… Today, I started out early, and it was already 21+ degrees C, so I could feel myself *melting* during the run. And yet, I had my fun, but I‘m looking forward to running at home. I‘m already back in Germany while typing this, my wife is driving, I‘m idling around next to her. That’s life! #applewatchultra2 #lagomaggiore

During the last night at the #lagomaggiore in #italy , I was so deep and fast asleep, my Apple Watch issued quite a number of low heart rate warnings (18 in total). Seems to me, I was really in a state of relaxation. #applewatchultra2 #sleep #LowHeartRate

@recollir Nevertheless, I managed to take two great pics in Baveno (~2.5 kms to the South). When I returned to my standard route, I had another small shock: There was a snake (roughly 1.5-2 meters in length) – ooooh, I‘m absolutely terrified of snakes. But I saw this beast far too late, so I just jumped over it. Of course, nothing happened, but my heart was racing like mad. This was quite a morning! #applewatchultra2 #italy #lagomaggiore #Running

*Still coughing from the exhaust fumes* @recollir I tried, I really tried to run South. I came as far as 4.5 kms, then I had enough. Of these 4.5 kms at least 2 were *on* the street, not directly next to it. When the second travel bus passed by within less than arm’s reach, I turned around and ran back to my usual route… These first 9 kms were an absolute abomination. (To be continued) #Running #lagomaggiore #applewatchultra2 #italy

Wow, humidity is back in full force. I was dripping by midway. The first three kilometers were hard to get through (I think I was still half asleep), then it was ok. Have fun, y‘all! #lagomaggiore #Running #applewatchultra2 #italy

Humidity dropped, temperatures are rising quickly. I started my run at 16 degrees C, now it’s 23 deg. C. The sun was out, which was great for taking pics, but at the same time it got hot fast… I took the same route as yesterday (which makes it easier to keep my head clear), meeting some of the runners I saw yesterday (one of them seems to run a route just like mine). Lots of podcasts today, but I also started into Jacinda Ardern‘s autobiography. #Running #applewatchultra2 #lagomaggiore #italy

Some impressions from my morning run from Feriolo to Verbania (and back). Enjoy! #lagomaggiore #italy #applewatchultra2 #Running

This morning, I ran from Feriolo to Verbania. Humidity was high, so my shirt was dripping with sweat when I got back – at least, breathing was fine. The only real problem I had was this: After ~30 minutes of #Running , I noticed the need for a toilet. But there were *no public toilets anywhere*. It definitely didn’t help my running, but I finally made it home in time and in one piece… 🥵 I‘ll add a few pics in a second post. #applewatchultra2 #italy #lagomaggiore

Early up today, we left for Italy at around 7:30 am, and I wanted to run back home. (In Italy, the temperature is around 28 degrees Celsius, which is very exhausting, in Germany, I ran at around 7 degrees). The run wasn’t as quick as the last one, but I wouldn’t have expected it to be any better.

The drive down to Italy was quite smooth, expect photographic evidence in a few moments…

I‘m back to my usual schedule, I even managed to gain one of the three kilometers back I lost yesterday. The vaccinations‘ effects are retreating, I am a little more tired than usually, but I’m able to run my full daily round of 27.x kilometers again. Yesssss! You are allowed to expect some #Running posts from the Lago Maggiore in the coming days. And I‘ll add quite a bunch of pictures. Be prepared! #applewatchultra2

After yesterday’s vaccinations, I was feeling like I had been put through a mangler. So I shortened my run somewhat, but still managed to crack the 4,000 kilometers mark for this year. I’ve slept 9 hours during the night, after lunch I added another hour. And *I won’t get old tonight* (that’s a German proverb for me hitting the mattress early tonight). I‘m still feeling quite worn out, and I hope I‘ll be feeling better/stronger tomorrow. #Running #applewatchultra2

Back to my usual rhythm! Since I overslept yesterday, I had to run in the afternoon. So this run was after only ~12 hours of recuperation. It felt a little awkward, everything was still feeling used, but I managed to get through quite well, even finishing THE MURDERBOT DIARIES by Martha Wells (what a cool story, by the way). After that came work, then two vaccinations, then I got three hours of sleep – and they were in dire demand. Now it’s time to practice and read! #Running #applewatchultra2

Forgot to set my alarm, so I overslept… woke up ~4:40 am, but that was too late. Have to do my #Running in the afternoon (which I don’t like), but there just wasn’t enough time before school… Anyway, these three cycling workouts were fine, I‘m *really awake* now. Have fun, y‘all! #applefitnessplus #applewatchultra2
