2nd OF AUGUST TRM ENDURANCE STAGE TOR DES GEANTS®, SECTION COURMAYEUR – LA THUILE, MANAGE THE START OF YOUR ULTRA TRAIL OF THE YEAR

The section from Courmayeur to La Thuile, just over 17Km long with 1,365 m D+, is the starting point of the “adventure trip” Tor des Geants.. After leaving Courmayeur in the direction of Dolonne, you start immediately with a tough climb to Col d’Arp and the Youllaz Valley before descending to La Thuile refreshment point. In this first phase of the competition it is crucial to handle stress and emotions, typical of the start, and set a pace that allows you, depending on your level, to preserve precious energies.

During the 1 day ENDURANCE STAGE, the TRM Team TRM has, especially, focused the training on:

  • How to manage the hours prior to the departure of the races and mistakes to avoid;
  • Mental Training and Stretching Techniques at the starting line;
  • Setting the pace of the race, the first kilometers, the first ascent and descent.

Thank you all!
