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 [...]

Obviously, my target-time must change. I’ve done a 7,2k race in 38:51, but that’s too much as a real goal. So, 37:30 will be my target for the next month. If [...]
18th Lisbon Half Marathon trainning
Thursday, January 17th, 2008
Done my first 8k today, as a preparation for the Vodafone Mini-Marathon. Time: 43:27 Since it was done in a 5:25 pace, I’m predicting that a 41:30 mark will be an obtainable goal for the upcoming mini-marathon. With almost two months untill the event, I may change this goal, but for now, its going to [...]
