"A spur-of-the-moment decision to try the POM found us running through cork oak forests and olive groves at half-term, on some of the fastest terrain I’ve ever run in. Four days of warm(ish)-weather race training. One urban middle, a forest middle and two forest long events (and a bonus night sprint), near the town of Evora to get the season off to a good start. A couple of thousand competitors, mostly from around Europe, were doing the same thing (or maybe just having a holiday), including some top elite runners."
