XVIII CORRIDA DO METRO (Lisboa)
Monday, April 13th, 2009
Registered today for the XVIII CORRIDA DO METRO (Lisboa), a 15k race in Lisbon. Hope I still can manage to get in the race, as the participants limit is to be reached in no time (20 to go or so). Hoping for the best, I’ll start trainning tomorrow, with a 7k mild-paced race.
Lisbon Half-Marathon – report
Thursday, March 26th, 2009
My second half and it went well. This time, racing with a team – Pernas de Gafanhoto (Grasshopper’s legs in Portuguese). Overall, the race was quite comfortable, always focusing on a balance between a steady pace and saving energy for the last kilometres. I did not had to wait too long in the starting line [...]

Portugal 9th Half Marathon was my fourth competition, taking place at the 28th September. The race started at ponte Vasco da Gama, and, since there was no possibility of getting there by car, I had to woke up pretty early (7:00 a.m.) in order to get into an event bus and not end like a [...]
A race with the pros
Sunday, April 13th, 2008
I ran the 15k beneficial race “Carlos Lopes Golden Marathon” yesterday. Time: 1 hour, 14 minutes 11 seconds, bellow my target… so… goal achieved! The course was fairly easy, mostly downhill. Fuelling at around 6.5km (where I was passed by the marathon athletes and 12km (where they informed that the finish was 5k ahead… wrooooong). [...]
Last workout before race
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008
So it’s done. I’ve trained all of what I felt to be needed to train for the next race. With some 10k workouts and a 15k (race length) training, I’m fully satisfied with my performance. Taking in account that my goal here is just to finish the race, a 1h15min seems to be a good [...]
Fluids please
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008
As the weather is starting to heat a bit, I start recalling how it was to run long distances two years ago, when I stated seriously in running. The amount of water drunk is so much more, at least for me, regardless my how fit I am. Today, in my regular 10 k workout, I [...]

Ok, getting slightly addicted here. Prior to yesterday’s race, I’ve found an interesting event to help me prepare for a half marathon: a 15 kilometre race in an easy course: Carlos Lopes Golden Marathon’s 15 kilometre race. The event is organized by the former Olympic champion’s foundation (Fundação Carlos Lopes) and will take place in [...]

Mini-marathon’s t-shirt After waking up pretty early (7:30 a.m.), and eating a reinforced breakfast, I took my way to the train, that would take me to the southbound, Pragal, 15 minutes walking distance to the starting line. Being the Vodafone mini-marathon my second competition, the novelty of Corrida do Tejo was not so strongly felt, [...]
