Umbria Slow:
Would you recommend trail running in Umbria?
Hi Rebecca
We’re planning to conduct a one week “Get Fit in Italy” tour for folks over age 50 who want to begin a program. Target market is those who might have thought they missed the boat completely! We’re going to get them walking!!!!!! What a perfect incentive – beautiful Umbria, healthy body and mind.
I am an over-60, certified personal trainer from the U.S. and my specialty is senior fitness.
We’re planning to be in Umbria again in November to start putting this together and will be meeting with several Umbrians who are excited about the prospect of perhaps starting a new product line. Any interest in helpin us out?
Thanks
Joe Guardino
Hi Joe,
You bet, I would love to give you any information you may need when you are here in November.
In the meantime, feel free to shamelessly lift any suggested walks I will be posting here on the blog over the summer if you think they would fit your itinerary! But speak well of me….:)
That really depends on the trail, George. Some are nice even dirt or gravel surfaces, some are more rocky and tricky to run on. The nice thing about Umbria is that there are so many country roads that have little traffic, wonderful views, and safe surfaces.
This is a very useful page Rebecca! and therefore now lunk on two of the more logical pages of my own. (Flattering comment about my juggernaut prolly didn’t do any harm, either.) Hope you are well — and sincerely hope also that the person who took that beautiful photo of SS. Severo e Martiro that heads off your page isn’t lost: they’re standing on the ramparts of Orvieto….

Bill! I was THRILLED to see you stopped by, and thanks so much for the note! I send people to your juggernaut of a site all the time; just a couple of days ago posted it on the forum at ST for folks asking about Roman sites to visit in Umbria. So happy to hear from you, a big bacio!
More mnemonically now: http://tinyurl.com/UmbriaRomana — I’ve got no imagination, do I. Alas, no Umbria for me for a year, but I’m trying to swing next fall (2011); i quattrini! I’ll letcha know, of course.
Hello. I will be in Umbria around the 8th – 15th October 2012 and am interested in doing some walking around the Spello, Bevagna, Assisi area. Are there any walking groups in Umbria that I could join for a day or two? I don’t really want to walk most of the time on my own. Joe Guardino, did your plan for as over 50s walking business get going? Catherine
Hi Catherine! You may want to contact http://www.giralumbria.org/ and see if they have any walks you can hook up with….
