Is it worth it – traveling all the way from the mountains to Vienna just for a trail run?
Absolutely.
The plan was clear: #womanstrailday – and we really wanted to run together. Since the guys were heading to Vienna anyway, the decision was easy: I’m coming along.
From U4 to U4, out of the daily grind and into trail running fun – right in the heart of the city.
Admittedly, I was skeptical at first. Trail running in Vienna?
Do you even need trail shoes for that?!
But, as so often in life: you just have to try it.
And yes – it was muddy enough.
And hot.
And challenging.
But above all: beautiful.
In the end, it turned into 27 km with 800 meters of elevation gain – right in Vienna!
Four women, four different training goals, four perspectives – and still one shared feeling: connection.
Each of us took something away: training effect, conversation, nature, sweating, heat acclimation, laughter, motivation.
Thanks, Vienna, for the summer mud.
Thanks, ladies, for the time together.
