On the road again 3:58:06

On the road again, very happy to run Bologna Marathon, at the pioneer Italian city daring to implement city-wide 30km/h speed limit for upgrading city mobility and quality of life. A sunny & cold day (5-10oC) throughout monumental Bologna and an epic finish in Piazza Maggiore in 3 hours 58 minutes (cruise control at 5:30m/km steady pace most of the time 😊), despite the hilly course (160m ascent) the cobblestones here-and-there and my 5 extra kilos 😊.

I exploited the days before, for fruitful discussions with Deputy Mayor for Ecological Transition on our common quest for safer cities with slower speeds but also at a public panel with the Deputy Mayor for Sports and the Marathon organisers to demonstrate that “steady pace wins the race” (avoiding the unnecessary speeding), is applicable for resilience and sustainability in both City Mobility and Marathon Running. But also having the opportunity to watch live Olympiacos basketball team 😊.
