  • When Adidas Eyewear wanted to test out its newest performance prescription eyewear, they needed rugged terrain and media testers with terrible vision. So it’s time to hop on a plane and head to Italy. This is a Runner’s Weekend in the Dolomites.

    Loved the video and had a little chuckle about the not knowing Venice was only canals and walkways (definitely not like Venice California or Venice Florida that's for sure). That is why it floods so often now. Sea rise and a little bit of sinking each year. My mother was Italian so I have had the good fortune of spending a lot of time all over Italy. Even ran the Rome Marathon this year. Epic! Hats off to you for handling that altitude in the Dolomites. How did you feel about the Adidas Eyewear (glasses wearing runner here too)?

    Damn it, I want to go back! We did a very similar trip Sept 2021. Hit up 4 rifugios near Tre Cime di Lavaredo - did a big loop through much of the course of Lavaredo 120K. This past July we were over in the Valle d'Aosta area near Mont Blanc (well before the UTMB insanity).
    My family is from Veneto - basically where you were. I try to go every year, it's such an amazing place. I also love Venice even if it can be tourist hell. There is no other place like it in the world.
    I hope you enjoyed it! The other incredible place to visit in Italy is Bolzano area. And you can't go wrong in Interlaken, Switzerland. That place is insanely beautiful. Food in Switzerland is pretty mediocre and very expensive but their mountains are👌

      Terrex Soulstride Flow GTX. I was worried that the lugs wouldn’t be deep enough, but they were great. A decent amount of room for foot swelling throughout the day, but still snug enough for the technical stuff.
      The upper material was not as unforgiving as some other Terrex shoes I’ve tried, so it was overall a good choice for the conditions.
      I would probably want something a bit softer if the terrain were more runnable though
