Run&Yogaweek Portugal

Trail running is one of the fastest growing sports. Logically. We are ‘natural born runners’. Unfortunately two-thirds of the runners have injuries, or hit their (metal) limit. Which is followed by the loss of fun in trail running. This is not necessary! Do you want to learn the right techniques so you can effortlessly walk further and faster? And without injuries? Do you want to conquer nature and become one with it by using flexibility, balance, power, strength, focus and your breathing? Do you want to feel free in your body while training?

Come and join the Run & Yoga week from October 1st until 8th, in Portugal
Surrounded by nature and fabulous, challenging trails we stay in a paradise-like quinta in central Portugal (one and a half hours drive from Lisbon).

The quinta has:
– 4 very spacious 2-person bedrooms with a luxurious private bedroom including bath.
– A large living room with equally large fireplace.
– A large kitchen with large outdoor terrace to enjoy diner together.
– A large outside terrace with views of the valley. Suitable for all yoga sessions.
– A nice indoor space for the yoga sessions in case the weather is not so good.
– A lot of nature and trails, surrounding us completely.
– A saltwater swimming pool. A natural spring to swim in with a waterfall.
– Many nice nooks and corners to retreat to and enjoy the sun.

During this week we pay attention to:

  • Trail running techniques
  • The use of gravity versus muscular strength
  • Breathing
  • Mental training
  • Training of your core by means of yoga*
  • Trail running**
  • Depending on your condition we walk in two groups. The pace will be lower than you are used to, so you are able to use the techniques you have learned. Of course there is plenty of free time.
  • Stay without injury
  • The ideal stretching for running by means of yoga
  • Quick recovery by means of yoga and running
  • Preparation to walk a longer trail on Thursday. The length depends on your wishes and condition
  • The FUN! of trailing
  • Optional: cold water training
  • More information about the trail running training

* When your core is functioning right and functions as one, every vertebra in your lower back can move freely. At that moment a step is a fluent and supple movement. This puts less strain on your ankles, knees, pelvic and lower back. A stronger core contributes to free breathing as well.

**A good basic condition is needed to participate with fun during this week. During an intake via telephone we can decide together whether this week is suitable for you.

Trail running and yoga are the perfect combination of effort and relaxation. You move effortlessly so you can run longer and eventually faster. Running is going to feel like flying.
