Part 2/8:
Preparing for a long distance run is not only about training but also about immersing oneself in the surroundings. Ana expressed her thrill at witnessing the beauty of Lofoten up close, stating that the vibrant colors of nature, especially the yellow flowers and the warm hues of the season, were far more striking in reality than any image could convey.
On the day of her long run, the weather conditions were surprisingly cooperative; after weeks of storms and harsh wind, the skies cleared up, providing the ideal setting for her 160 km adventure. Ana felt a sense of freedom, bolstered by the knowledge that running allowed her to explore this beloved land solely on her own terms.
