<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When did you start running?
\nI started running when I was ten or eleven, so I can say I’ve been running my whole life, even though I haven’t been competing at a truly competitive level for a few years now because of my job, which keeps me very busy on weekends.<\/p>\n
What are your specialties, and what types of terrain do you feel most comfortable on?
\nI’ve always run on the road, switching to cross-country in the winter and doing a bit of track running in the summer, although these days I’ve taken up trail running\u2014but only for my own enjoyment, just for fun. Still, the road is my natural habitat… <\/p>\n
You just won the Fuerteventura To Run, a stage race held on one of the most picturesque islands in the Canary Islands: can you tell us about it?
\nFirst of all, I need to explain the format: it was a 60-kilometer race divided into four stages, with the first three being shorter and organized by Zitoway, while the last stage was the Dunas de Fuerteventura International Half Marathon, in which I finished fifth overall and third among men. It was a beautiful race, run in a wild, very arid, and volcanic landscape. We ran every day in different places, but always in very picturesque settings: along the ocean coast, through the inland canyons, and amid the sand dunes… <\/p>\n
Which race do you remember as the best of your career?
\nMaybe it’s because it’s the most refreshing one, but I really, really enjoyed the Dunas de Fuerteventura International Half Marathon. I’d put it right up there with what will also be my next race, the Valtellina Wine Trail, which I ran last year. <\/p>\n
What about the race you still have to run?
\nMore than just a race I still have to run, it\u2019s a race I\u2019d like to run again\u2014partly because I already ran it in 2001, though I had to walk it due to an injury: I\u2019m talking about the New York City Marathon.<\/p>\n
Do you also organize competitions?
\nYes, I’m currently helping to organize the Highlander Run, which takes place in Bergamo in June: it’s a 400-meter race held in the American style\u2014that is, a knockout tournament\u2014in which we invite the top Italian athletes every year.<\/p>\n
Can you tell us about your personal relationship with Oxyburn clothing?
\nI really like the Oxyburn fabric, especially the graduated compression socks, which are fantastic during races and long training sessions because they protect my calves. But I also have to give credit to the fit, comfort, breathability, and materials: in addition to looking great, Oxyburn clothing can be worn for hours without making you sweat or feeling cold. It\u2019s the best! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
