Monte Gordo. Never heard of it? You should. Monte Gordo may only be a larger village in the Algarve, but what awaits you there as a runner is truly amazing. The pine forests are marvellous, as is the beach, and if you head towards Vila Real de Santo Antonio or the nature reserve, you can explore additional sides of the Algarve. For example, you can walk past numerous flamingos.

Monte Gordo offers so many different, highly attractive running routes that you are spoilt for choice every day and have maximum running fun, which you don't always have in the German or Scottish winter. Not without reason have Natalie and I been to Monte Gordo several times to do our winter training.

To regenerate in the best possible way after the numerous training sessions and recharge our batteries, it was important for us to find accommodation where we felt comfortable on the one hand and where we had the opportunity to give our bodies exactly the rest they needed, for example with first-class food and a spa area. We stayed at the Hotel Prime Energize again this year. An absolute top tip for us! High-quality, delicious food, a lovely spa area, beautiful rooms and a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere characterise the hotel, which we will be happy to return to in the future.
