My Mountain Marathon Training Online Program – Week 6
Madeira is amazing and the variety of this Island is endless.
After the Santana Skyrace I took the opportunity to stay a few days enjoying the beautiful Island trailrunning together with Trail Run Adventures & Retreats.
It’s been a great week full of trailrunning and some other sports activities. It’s been very good for me to be able to train in all these varieties of technical difficulties and I have improved those skills a lot!
To my fully surprise, I’ve felt pretty good and strong all week and I wasn’t too sore in my muscles the days after the race. The Santana Skyrace was my first goal and milestone this year, heading for the big goal in August, “Buff, Bydalens Fjällmaraton 50k / 2900 D+ “.
So, I’m very happy that I pulled it through with a smile on my face and without injuries. Today it’s Wednesday and my training is on it again.
If you haven’t read part 1, I recommend starting with that one…

This was a great week. The race went very well and the rest of the week I could really enjoy running here in Madeira and I wasn’t too much sore.
Although I could feel the tiredness coming just when I got back to Sweden. I guess that my body had been procrastinated the FATIQUE on purpose.
