Track stories from Europe
Ten very different European days: limestone towers in South Tyrol, a forest running loop on the edge of Vienna, an evening city run up to the golden dome of the Kirche am Steinhof, a flat riverside run where the Sava is born in Slovenia, a reed-belt loop around one of Austria's warmest lakes, a wild off-trail climb to the almen of the Carnic Alps, Arctic green on the Lofoten, a logbook of tacks through the Kornati islands, and an Atlantic dune run onto a former whaling island in Portugal. Each shows a different side of the same recorder — mountain elevation profiles, an everyday home loop, and knots instead of km/h.

The Slow Trail around the Pressegger See: a 5.7 km reed-belt loop

A wild, unmarked 13 km climb from Vorderberg in the Gailtal up to the Latschacher and Dellacher alpine pastures in the Carnic Alps.
