A Ucluelet resident said he was a little unprepared, but just went for it when he set off to run more than 500 kilometres down Vancouver Island.
B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檇 never even run a marathon before,B次元官网网址� said Giordano Corlazzoli. B次元官网网址淚 knew I didnB次元官网网址檛 have enough training to be prepared for the mileage I wanted to do B次元官网网址� but, I figured running the first half was training for the second half.B次元官网网址�
On Sunday Corlazzoli wrapped up his two-week run from Port Hardy to Victoria.
B次元官网网址淚t was all mind over matter, and just fundraising for a good cause,B次元官网网址� he said.

Corlazzoli did the run to fundraise for the B次元官网网址淪afeguard Coastal CarnivoresB次元官网网址� campaign, endorsed by the Raincoast Conservation Foundation. The cause buys hunting tags in the Great Bear Rainforest to prevent commercial hunters from being able to hunt bears. He was able to raise more than $5,800.
B次元官网网址淚f you canB次元官网网址檛 beat B次元官网网址榚m, you buy B次元官网网址榚m,B次元官网网址� Corlazzoli said.
Corlazzoli ran 40 km per day for 13 days straight, taking as many back roads as possible to avoid highways. He had the support of his parents, sister and friends as they followed him down the Island in an RV, and even cycled alongside him.
He said every morning was a bit of a struggle as he realized he had another 40 km to run.
B次元官网网址淚t was tough, but IB次元官网网址檇 wake up in the morning and stretch my legs and see that they still work,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淚 was surprised how good my legs felt, and I was fortunate not to have any major injuries.B次元官网网址�
Now that the run has finished Corlazzoli will take a bit of a break, but said heB次元官网网址檚 interested in going again in the future B次元官网网址� though maybe this time with a bit more training.
