Interview with Andrea and Arpan by Tarit

(excerpt)

TARIT: You’re obviously happy running multi-day races on the roads. Do you ever think of doing any of the classic trail races, like the Spartathlon or the Alpine races, rather than road events?

ANDREA: I’m quite happy with the loop races, and I believe they’re the best for performance. Given my mental attitude, I really like the short loop and the fact that all the logistics are taken care of: the food is close by, there are restrooms, massage if necessary — everything is there.

I’ve never thought about the Spartathlon or long-distance trail running. It would be interesting to consider sometime in the future, but for the time being I like the loop races.
