2 Weeks in Tenerife: A Runner’s Paradise / 100 + km week
I’ve been on the stunning island of Tenerife for two weeks now, scouting routes, exploring locations, and figuring out the best ways to navigate this incredible island for future running camps. And let me tell you—this place is a dream come true for my running needs. Let me tell why. Where else can you go from running on the beach to training at 2,000m in volcanic landscapes within just 40 minutes? The diversity here is unreal: eucalyptus forests, pine forests, volcanic valleys, dramatic gorges, coastal trails, and even a fantastic stadium open to public for speed sessions. It’s all within reach, and it’s all breathtaking. Over the past two weeks, four of us have been exploring the island, staying in four different Airbnbs, each of them was chosen to give us easy access to the trails we wanted to cover. I’ve collected so many incredible routes and discovered so many hidden gems that I can confidently say: Tenerife is the perfect destination for a running camp. And the best part? There are even more islands nearby to explore once we’ve fully uncovered Tenerife’s secrets. I’m planning to stay another two weeks to dive deeper into this place. Some friends are heading home soon, but if @Mikel TnT stays, we might finally tackle the Teide summit—a challenge I’ve been dreaming of! There is also UTMB Blue Island race that is going to happen next weekend - runners from all over the world will come to run this incredible race that is considered one of the toughest in the area. I am so exited to watch it and maybe meet some athletes. But what is more important is to feel the energy of the race and get inspired for upcoming summer season 🤩 Life lately has been filled with so much energy, adventure, and inspiration, and I can’t wait to share it all with you. It’s hard to stay connected online when there’s so much to explore, but I’ll do my best to keep you all updated. 🏃♂️🌋🌊 Are you interested to hear more about our trainings? Maybe nutrition plan I follow to cover 100+ km / week? Ask and lets deep into specifics - I am happy to share.
