Welcome to Run to the Next Mile

About me

Hi! I’m Miguel Reis—Portuguese, 50 years old, married, father of two grown-up kids, and apparently a guy who thought starting a running habit in his 40s was a great idea (spoiler: it actually was).

By day, I’m an SAP consultant with over 30 years in IT and more airports under my belt than I care to count. For the past 20 years, I’ve been traveling abroad almost every week for work—which makes sticking to a training plan… complicated. Still, somehow, I’ve never missed a session because of travel. Running shoes go in the suitcase before anything else.


Running came into my life just six years ago, but it quickly became a core part of who I am. Alongside running, I practice cross-training, strength and conditioning, and yoga – because flexibility isn’t just for the young, right? These routines help me stay physically fit, but more importantly, they support my mental well-being.


This blog is my way of sharing the highs, the lows, and all the weird race-day socks in between.
