Our persistance in seeing the amazing in concert for a second time was rewarded when we met the talented musician (from Carpi, BO) as we headed back to our hotel. His collaboration with many titans of contemporary Italian music is incredible. Some of the great artists and songs we love to listen to have their origins with Massimo. Most importantly, a lovely man who was delighted to share the moment with a photo. Thank you Massimo, you would always be welcome with us in AUS

A few days ago, we checked in to our venue in Pavullo Nel Frignano. And yesterday the 4 Torri 14km event was held. It is one of the hardest 14km running events I’ve done. It has 4 very tough climbs. Apart from the start and finish, the course is anything but flat and the terrain is everything from a running track, road, trails, ancient cobblestones track. It tests my every mettle. Then it was off to one of our highlight lunches. We’ll hang around a few days more as there are a few new venues I want to check out

As we go into our Pavullo Nel Frignano Tour, we spent a few nights in Lucca to check-in on our selected venues. The Objective of our Tours is to be both a food tour and a running tour - in one. Today’s cheese and spinach ravioli comes with a hazelnut sauce and another with a honey-based sauce. Very nice indeed

We’re readying for the 4 Torri event in Pavullo Nel Frignano. Not long now. Like all our hand-picked events, the 4 Torri is not only challenging as the name suggests (4 Hills), we get to experience lots of amazing food in a town that is quintessential Italy

With the pre-week now booked in the lovely town of Taormina, the magical Eolie Running Tour is now locked and loaded to start 9-September.
5 Stages over 6 days on the magical Aeolian Islands (Isole Eolie), a short hydrofoil ride from Milazzo. The weather is sure to be warm, although the finish line is never more than a few hundred metres away and, it’s straight into the drink and into recovery mode within minutes from the finish line

Starting the day with an espresso is an Italian morning ritual. Here with Roberto I get to learn more about how the bean makes its way to the cup. Now we’re primed for the gym and some strength work

We recently had fun whipping up up a bowl of fresh fruit - and then had fun eating it. Italy has an amazing array of fresh fruit and vegetables grown locally in or around each town. On a midweek run outside Lucca’s walls, I noticed a grower plucking vegetables out of their garden beside the road directly onto a makeshift bench. On my return 30 minutes later, all the produce was gone and the last of the locals was driving off. It’s clearly a rendezvous for locals. No signs, no fuss. On our Tours, most of our food destinations use only local fresh produce - and you can taste the amazing flavours from simple ingredients

You might recognise this road from James Bond - Quantum of Solace.
The famous and spectacular Strada della Forra alongside Lago di Garda - we’ll have exclusive use of this surreal road for the 11km event next September. Just go to our website eatandrun.com.au - Our Tours

Running and competing with my friends. I get a real buzz from racing, no matter where I finish it just doesn’t matter. Great to see Paul Arthur down in Melbourne to take on Victoria’s best at the State 10km Cross Country Championships. The highlight was getting to see Paul and Rob catch up briefly in our warm up on good old times of the 90’s, in an era where I looked at these guys in awe. Still do. Im always assured when I get to the Glenhuntly tent and see TV and Len there as was the case again yesterday. Another great event from
