Another day of training at Serra da Santa Justa in Valongo, Porto. Valongo where I live is a place close to Porto where, besides being close to the big city of Porto, it has the privilege of being surrounded by valleys with a lot of nature.
In these quarantine days (I'm already 19 days old) I have a great advantage, which is to live close to this mountain, in which I easily have the possibility to do my physical exercise through nature without seeing almost anyone.
My route was exclusively through the mountains, however I did half of the route running and the other half was walking (mainly uphill). This was done during the morning and lasted about 1h30min. It was a good workout to now be relaxing at home on the couch.
In this moment of social isolation, I am facing a great advantage, which is living close to nature. With this, I can do physical exercise without coming across many people and I also breathe fresh air.
Anyone who has the possibility to hike the mountains does so because it releases a lot of stress and helps us to be more excited and with more hope that everything will pass quickly.
I hope you enjoyed this new trip!!!
