XVIII CORRIDA DO METRO – report

First race I did with a team, running integrated with them. It was a really enjoyable experience. I managed to race the 15k race in a 1h19min53secs mark. Acceptable for my physical form. The race itself was easy, since I only had to do some effort management at the beginning (first 5 kilometres. The second half of the race was a “all way down” thing, in very familiar sites (Lisbon centre). Long distance running is becoming a natural thing in myself, now. After almost a year running 10k to half-marathons, I am pleased to see that I’m at ease in this distance range.

Marathon will be the next logical stage, but with supported workouts, consistent training schedule and above all, realistic mental preparation.

As the team blog is fairly active, I might slow down my individual post here, at least those concerned with races and events and start to do more recent updates there (portuguese only).
