Field notes

Running a place,
not collecting it.

• Field note 03 · Mont Buet

  The mountain that measured Mont Blanc.

  Running Chamonix's wildest 3,000 m summit from a train platform in Vallorcine — 18 km, 1,770 m of gain, two nature reserves, no lifts.

• Field note 02 · Desierto de los Leones

  There is a moment when the city disappears.

  Trail running at the Desierto de los Leones — Mexico City's first national park, and the forest that begins where the city ends.

• Field note 01 · Desierto de los Leones

  Before the city wakes, the forest does.

  Desierto de los Leones at first light — a local way into Mexico City, one unhurried kilometre at a time.
