CENTRES OF RUNNING
EXCELLENCE. So that you
don’t overdo the running, which
means not overtaxing yourself or
choosing a route that is beyond
your own abilities, you can call
on the services of an Austrian
centre of running excellence.
There, you will find details of a
broad range of different running
and Nordic walking routes
together with all the necessary
information. Amateurs, but
also professionals, can bring
themselves to the peak of fitness
here. A centre of running excellence must satisfy various criteria to
be allowed to use this title. Amongst other things, the network must
comprise at least 70 km of running and Nordic walking routes. Moreover,
there should be at least three routes per speed category, as well as
special routes for beginners. There must also be circuit training guides,
fitness courses and professional supervision. In Austria numerous
running and Nordic walking routes at all degrees of difficulty are waiting
to be tried out by running enthusiasts and Nordic walking fans.
