The Milan-Sanremo on foot A race lasting 51 hours

by admin

Andrea Tiozzo from Vigevano (45 years old) is a fan of ultramarathons “It’s not a race for everyone: I’m one of the sixty riders selected”

VIGEVANO

He ran 285 kilometers in 51 hours. His name is Andrea Tiozzo, he is from Vigevano and is 45 years old, he is an employee for work, but he runs as a hobby. The peak of his activity reached it ten days ago by running the Milan-Sanremo. Just the cycling race, only he and 60 other runners did it on foot.

“Not everyone can participate – he explains – it is a selected race and we were 60 of us”. After all, to run two days in a row sleeping small half-hour intervals you need to be more than prepared.

«We must avoid – he explains – ending up in the REM phase of sleep. I stopped for half an hour in the car and my friends who attended me woke me up ». Ready to leave, eating a few sandwiches with ham and bresaola here and there, a few morsels of cheese to fool the hunger and leaving for the long stop. The preparation for this undertaking was long as it was, which he approached over the course of a year. With intermediate races, a definition that can make those who are not used to the world of super athletes smile. «In May – he says – I ran a 24-hour circuit in Cinisello. And then I trained every day. In the morning before work and in the evening. At least an hour and a half. On Saturday there was also a 4 or 5 hour long training session. Only running, even if the ideal would be to be able to do weights and abs too, but we are not professional athletes ».

Now think about the next race. «I have already started running again – he explains – but at the moment I don’t have a defined schedule. I was thinking of the 9 Colli race in Cesenatico, another competition created on the path of a cycling race. But I’m also thinking that normal races will return in the autumn ». –
