One year of @templerunninggirona : the home of runners and the crew that makes Girona feel like home.

“The ideal of the Pyreneist is to know how to climb, write, and feel.” - Henri Béraldi

@aleixferrerr captured the selects above. Below is how the mountains made him feel.

“The Pyrenees made me feel deeply alone, but connected at the same time.

The immensity of the landscape and the remoteness of the route made me feel isolated and disconnected from the real world. Time seemed to stop, and all that mattered was the next steps.

But somehow, I also felt more present and connected than I had in a long time. Connected to the mountains and the environment, but also to the purpose of the trip and the people I was sharing it with.

Out there, you have to face some of your biggest fears. You have to surrender to the mountains, accept that you’re not in control, and trust that you’ll find a way through.

The Pyrenees took a lot out of me, but gave back even more.”

Few weeks ago, we helped a bunch of fools cross the Pyrenees with @thespeedproject

@cursacarrernou is a special moment for Girona’s running community. More than 1,500 people came together for its 47th edition to race through the cobbled streets and corners of our Old Town.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on the start line, cheered us on along the way, and to all the people who helps make this race happen year after year.

And I still love racing. That was so fun — sixth place and a time of 33:42 in Girona’s 10 K, the Cursa del Carrer Nou. It really was like a kermiskoers with all the cobbles and corners and the climb. Thanks for all the cheers. I didn’t know I had that in me.

And thanks @sergi_romeu for the pictures and @templerunninggirona for the vibes.

Let’s go! Tomorrow’s the first test in my personal little learn-how-to-run-fast project: 66 corners through the cobbled streets of Girona with a climb up past the cathedral. It’s going to be wet. It’s going to be the closest thing to a kermis koers you can do on carbon supershoes. Som hi!

A last minute change of plans.
A look back at Transpyrenees.

It might have taken 2h longer but it did save 1km?

Turns out I didn’t want to miss the AZT hike’a’bike experience.

Imagining having friends that will come out at 0430 🫶.

@canyon Aer(off)road.

The first goal is always to finish.

I’d like this noise as a candle scent please.

Save a horse ride a Canyon.

Surely there’s laws against a 116hour work week?

90% of the reason I chose to do TPR…

Resistance training.

Thanks for coming.

I’m not that long caption kinda guy but in this case, it’s not even enough characters to describe my journey at TSP PYR ZERO.

A few weeks ago @aleixferrerr asked me if I want to run from one side of the Pyrenees to the other. Roughly 700 km with a crazy amount of elevation. I had around 400 km in my legs since May. So naturally I said yes. Right after signing up I got goosebumps and a proper panic. Way out of my comfort zone.

We trained a bit, ran up the castle in Girona a few times, and slowly I realized it will be tough but maybe I can do it. I had no idea how tough.

The setup: a core team of four, supported by one or two more people along the way. All of us in one small camper van, all the time together. Clear roles, everybody knew what to take care of. We supported each other when someone asked for it and every decision was made together. That’s honestly why it worked.

The strategy: trails almost only by day. Worked really well, even though we probably haven’t seen the full beauty of the Pyrenees. But we live close, so we’ll explore them more.

October 1st, 4 am, my first leg: 12 km. About a tenth of what I ended up running. As a team it was around 680 to 700 km and 24,000 to 25,000 m in 102 hours. My part: 160 km and 5,000 m.

Since I stopped competing, my relationship with running was complicated. An unhealthy situationship. I struggled with consistency and finding the feeling again. Out there I had to confront my past and feel that I can run again, without being afraid that my body breaks under the amount of running. Finishing with almost no problems shows me it can handle it. And I can feel the difference to cycling and appreciate the transformation you go through when you run for that long.

So many little details came full circle. Like the audio recordings we made during the trip, which helped us keep pushing in the end. An insane masterpiece of execution by the whole team.

Danke to everyone involved. Still processing, can’t believe what just happened. Definitely not my last time.

TSP PYR zero
@thespeedproject Pyrenees.

Coast to coast, no spectators: from Collioure to San Sebastián along the GR10, GR11 and HRP.
Roughly 700km and +38,400m of elevation, run as a non-stop relay, day and night.

We photographed Salty and Temple Run as they passed throught the Val d’Aran.
