Future at Sporting up in the air, defender shines off the pitch (video) | OneFootball

Ricardo Mangas continues to make the most of his vacation period, but without giving up physical training. Far from the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, the Sporting full-back has been relying on running to stay in shape and once again shared on social media another personal challenge successfully completed.

Through TikTok, the player revealed that he had completed a 21-kilometre half marathon, showing the route he took and some of the sensations he experienced along the way. The Sporting defender covered the distance in 1:28:55, recording an average pace of 4:14 minutes per kilometre.

Pleased with the mark he achieved, Ricardo Mangas — whose future at Alvalade is still uncertain — did not hide his pride in the result. Even so, he used the post to leave a light-hearted apology to his wife, Carly, due to the delay caused by the challenge.

This is not the first time the player has shown this type of training during the holidays. Recently, he had also shared a 15-kilometre run completed in 1:00:37. At the time, he admitted some frustration at missing the goal of breaking the one-hour barrier by just a few seconds.
