 After knowing your why and setting your goals for this year, it is time to plan your trainings. Although the details of your training blocks will change a lot depending of your history, capacities and ambitions, there are some general principles that should apply to most of us. Let’s go through them! Setting the calendar… Define a calendar that is realistic with your experience, condition, availability and ambition. Many people register to the races just because others do or increase the difficulty too quick or at times where work of life commitments are very demanding. Take a holistic view of your life when you set a calendar that is not too stressful yet exciting. Prioritize your goals and segment them.

The reality is that taking the decision to become a sky runner (a person who wants to move fast in all types of terrain and climate) is not only fascinating, but also can add a lot of meaning and joy to our lives. If you are reading this, I assume you are a runner, mountaineer or just a curious person wanting to know more about how those apparently crazy, yet happy people find time and resources to become goats while living in almost flat cities. Before I step into the how or even the why, I would like to share my own definition of sky running and what I put into this concept. As in road running, where there are many different fields, distances and courses, there is also into the concept of sky running.   Sky running is the most agile and light way to move into natural terrain, searching for challenging ways to arrive to the submit of a mountain or just
