Brazilian Wax In Abu Dhabi

WHERE AND WHEN: corriXpadova



"Run X Padua" is a very good initiative started about a month ago and will last until late spring (if not more). Essentially, a group formed by hundreds of runners is to make a run of about 8 miles every Thursday night.

in detail (from the website):
" Run X Padua is a series of evening sessions of training in running for amateurs, enthusiasts and neophytes.
is held in the streets, squares, parks and levees of the city every week.
It 'an opportunity to make running together in an organized manner, with the guidance of national athletes who will be the pacemaker participants, of course at high speeds differentiated, so that every runner can find his pace and gradually improve.
The gaits of Pacemaker and four groups of runners are:
- 4.30 min / km;
- 5 min / km;
- 5.30 min / km;
- 6 min / km. "

I attended the evening of December 2, on that occasion was passed through the zona Arcella. For those who live in the area and know the "reputation" of that neighborhood, know that each group was escorted by police patrols, the streets were blocked, there were a couple of ambulances will be ready ... and so every night ... A beautiful organization really!



the meeting point, there are also several booths, where you wait for the start and where you can also heat (which these days is always recommended). There is also a space in which to leave backpacks, controlled by retired police officers who offer the service, and the rest for the arrival governed by the timeless mountain.

order to enroll you can present that evening to start at stand NonSoloSport the evening or (recommended) to enroll in one of the shops located in Padua. By registering (5 €) is also given a "goody bag", with some sponsors gadgets and a reflective vest Mizuno (that only that is worth around € 15-20). Obviously, there is also the insurance ...!
Talking to the organizers, every week there are between 400 and 600 people, not bad considering the temperature. Therefore I strongly recommend to arrive early if you want to find parking without too much swearing! In addition, to be covered by insurance, you should ask recognizes a sort of badge that is given for (fast operation, but since the influx of people there is risk of column).

This week we start from Prato della Valle Padova illuminated by Christmas lights will definitely be a nice effect!
