Kenyans steal the show in the Lisbon half marathon.

Rita Jeptoo and Robert Kipchumba took the lead with jeptoo crossing the finishing line in 67:05, the fourth best time ever in Lisbon and the world's best time so far of the year.It was a personal best for Jeptoo by almost two minutes, her previous best being the 69:56, which she ran when winning the 2006 Paris Half Marathon.The 26-year-old set out a strong pace, and raced alone after the first 10km. Former winners, Susan Chepkemei (best time ever of 65:44 in Lisbon) and Salina Kosgei, couldn't keep up with Jeptoo's effort.The Portuguese runner Ana Dias, arrived in the fourth place with 70:40, near to her personal best (70.28), ahead of the Ethiopian Merima Denboba, and Kenya Sharon Cherop.

For the winner, this was an "expected good competition, with a great finish. I intended to run for the podium and I took the first place.

Robert Kipchumba needed 60:31 to win, after he crossed the "Ponte 25 de Abril", the most famous bridge in the Portuguese capital.Kipchumba, who ran the entire race at the front of the leading pack, passed 5 km in 14:02 as part of a group of 12 runners, 20km as one of 8 leading runners in 28:54, and 15km with the front pack down to seven runners in 43:19.
He only took the definitive lead in the last 400 metres, in the final sprint dropping the challenge of his fellow country man Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot, who, in the last five years in Lisbon has taken three second places (2005, 2006 and 2007) and two third places (2003 and 2005).
In third place across the finish line was the reigning double World Marathon champion, Jaouad Gharib of Morocco, who was one second ahead of the winner of 2006 New York City Marathon, the Brazilian Marilson dos Santos, who closed out today in fourth place.
In the next seven places arrived seven Kenyans, six of them under one hour and three minutes.

50 States Marathon

So many people love running marathons in every state that two groups exist to help members network and track such a goal.

50 States & D.C. Marathon Group U.S.A

50 States Marathon Club

The 50 States Marathon Club has 1,239 members in the U.S. and nine other countries, while the 50 States and D.C. Marathon Group U.S.A. has about 900. (And yes, they really do count the District of Columbia separately.)

The 50 States and D.C. group, founded in 1989, used to limit membership to those with marathons in 20 different states. A few years ago, the membership requirement dropped to those who have run marathons in 10 states.

log update

Today I run 20 min, plus 4 x 2 min fast with 3 min easy run in between and 10 min cool down. Here is the log update. It was the first time I use my HRM to memorize my training with repetitions. It's very good to keep the times of each lap. I use it to store the time of the lap, and the time of the rest time in between. So to read it in the end is just read one value and skip the next one, and so on. The only cons is that could have the lap time in a bigger digits in a special mode for repetitions traning.

Running log update

First update of my training schedule / running log, with the first run. Should be the second but I miss the first one :( !! Not a good start, but I stay working late at Tuesday. Today I do a tempo run 55 minutes, that 15 min of them were running fast.

Yet the training schedule

I found another training schedule here on coolrunning, and I want to do some comparisons with mine. I choose the advanced one because it's for the goal 1:30 and under. This one has no rest days (!!!) , much more miles per week, but less repetitions training and less speed work. Maybe the one I choose is not for the under 1:30 goal time, but I think is better for me, because I already have a lot of miles run I just can be adapted to my weekly routine.

Half Marathon Training Schedule

This is my new schedule training program, to start next week, and to finish 12 weeks later ready to run an half-marathon. Tuesdays easy runs. Wednesdays tempo run: fast periods in the middle of the run.At Thursdays I will run repetitions of distance if I have a track, or time periods if I don't. Saturdays will be the long runs and Sundays a free program. Sunday and Friday are rest days. For each day I will annotate with the training done, so this will be also a running log for the next weeks. This program is based on the Hal Higdon Intermediate and on Advanced Half Marathon Training Programs.The goal is to run another half-marathon at my best time 1h27 and the second goal will be to drop this time to 1h24.

Today's run

I cancel today's run because I have a family dinner, instead of it I must run Thursday.
Also I'm consider to use again this old schedule training program to prepare for some half-marathon for the next 3-4 months. Maybe I need to adjust the program again for my daily routine, or pick a new program from haldigdon's site. Soon I will publish here my calendar for the next months

Naide gomes on the press

Portugal's Naide Gomes made it two in a row in spectacular fashion going out to a world leading 6.89 in round five to ram home her superiority.
Three of her four valid jumps would have given her gold and her fourth equalled the silver medal performance by Spain's Concha Montaner. Gomes' winning leap was also a national record.
