Review of Zenit Run trail running weekend.
Day 1 – Friday
The trail running weekend started on Friday afternoon in front of the Weissbad Lodge. Christian Huber from the Hof Weissbad welcomed us with perfect weather and provided us with information about the hotel and the camp in general. He also handed out a goodie bag with local products to all participants. Before we started our first trail running session at 4 p.m., the participants had the opportunity to test Norda brand shoes. After that, we headed out onto the trails – the "Appenzell Sightseeing" Trailtrophy route was perfect as a warm-up. At a relaxed pace, we had the opportunity to get to know each other better, and the shorter breaks were ideal for some initial technical input. After a little rest and a shower, the next highlight was already on the program – a fine three-course meal at the Hof Weissbad, accompanied by music from Marius Bear.
Day 2 – Saturday
After a successful first day, we started Saturday with a lot of energy. An adventure trail run up the Hohe Kasten was on the program. We used the first steep ascent to give the participants inputs on pole technique, which they then implemented directly. When we arrived at Lake Sämtisersee, Maximilian Gierl gave a short input on how to produce photo and image material with a cell phone. We then continued towards Lake Fälensee, up to Saxerlücke and via Staubern to Hohen Kasten, where we had a leisurely meal in the panorama restaurant. Some of the group managed the downhill on foot, while another part of the group took the cable car back to the starting point. Back at the lodge, we took advantage of the beautiful weather to do a short strengthening and mobility training session in the garden. Angelika Lehmann led the training with a lot of charm, which is why everyone was fully committed.
After some individual time in the bathing and wellness area of the Hof Weissbad, the input lectures on the topic of "Fascination Trail Running" were on the program that evening. Around 30 people, including camp participants, other hotel guests and locals, attended the lectures, which were followed by an aperitif. In order to convey our passion, we told the story from three different perspectives:
– Thomas Häusermann on the topic of "Daily training as a motivational solution"
– Angelika Lehmann on the topic of "Trail running as a family experience"
– Nico Dalcolmo on the topic "How the elite train"
After some exciting discussions over drinks and an excellent dinner at the restaurant of the Hof Weissbad, we rounded off the evening in a cozy get-together at the bar.
Day 3 Sunday
Sunday started with coffee and an excellent breakfast before we gathered in front of the lodge for a warm-up together. Then we set off in the direction of Ebenalp. We walked the ascent, partly with poles, partly without. Once at the top, we strengthened ourselves with an Appenzeller Bärli-Biber before continuing the tour in the direction of Schäfler. The next section was technically demanding, which is why it was necessary to concentrate while running. Running along unique rock formations and on varied trails was really fun. The group met again at the Seealpsee, where the group was pulled apart a bit on the technical downhill section. We then completed the last few kilometers back to the starting point at the Weissbad Lodge as a group. On the large, sunny terrace, we sipped iced tea and ate excellent hot dogs – a perfect end to the day. After a shower, the group went their separate ways, each with many unique memories.
A big thank you to the Hof Weissbad, the participants and Maximilian Gierl, who made the first Zenit run trail running weekend a unique experience in the Alpstein region!
