Runner reviews
Of course, participation in such a large-scale project requires planning and appropriate preparation. I have been preparing for this race for a year. First, the goal was set to 50 km distance. But the lack of a running base affected, and I ran a 30 km distance.
We went to Suzdal with the whole family. My wife took part in the 10 km race. As a result, we got a lot of positive emotions and the vacation was wonderful.
Vladimir Bolotin
I set for myself an ultra-goal of 100 kilometers. To say that it was difficult to say nothing. Moreover, I believed that I had little experience, and the results I always showed are not very high.
But goals are set in order to achieve them. As a result, I took 52nd place out of 131. Seven hours later I was confident that I could repeat this race. A week later, confidence melted by 50%. If you dare to try your hand, welcome to the coolest cross-country running project.
