Transcript
- 0:01Nice from scratch an amateur podcast where we' ll all learn together about running.
- 0:07Let' s run to hi Roners. Welcome to chapter number forty-
- 0:13six of zero, Good Ronners, another chapter to meet. Here' s
- 0:17to talk about what we like the most, whether it' s running.
- 0:20And today we have them as always an information strip that we' re implementing
- 0:25about three or four chapters ago, and that' s because, as you
- 0:29see here, we have the t- shirt of be challenge, and that
- 0:33' s because today we were invited to launch the calendar that they have Energofitness.
- 0:35If they own or own or manage about five or six races, and
- 0:38today was the launch of the calendar, then we' re going to tell
- 0:42them more or less how the matter is going. We have a yoga career
- 0:47that I had no idea existed. They won' t do it until now.
- 0:50Yeah, yeah, it' s new. It is a yoga career
- 0:53that includes the largest yoga class in Colombia and also has the five and ten
- 0:59- cas modality and will be held on the 26th of May. It'
- 1:02s the first edition. A lot of assistance is expected and, in fact,
- 1:06I think many have already registered. We have the Bogotá Trail Urban Race
- 1:11that they already did last year in the first edition. This is the second
- 1:15edition. It is a race that is made near the National Park and also
- 1:19touched a piece of the moor here in Bogotá. Not that race is 23
- 1:23June. The career of women, that the career of women is the largest
- 1:27female career in Latin America. It gathers a lot of people and well,
- 1:34here, Bogotá already has a lot of history that race. You guys already
- 1:37know her. Also comes Duathlon de be challenge, who also did it for
- 1:42the first time last year, This year, the year as well last year,
- 1:47as for the same exact date, will also have the distance of sprint
- 1:49and the other distance, which is stand, that there will be couples,
- 1:53that is, they will be read. And for the first time they announced
- 1:59the Bogota Marathon, which will be the first of December. The route is
- 2:04not yet set, but there is an already attempted route that we will leave
- 2:07here in an image. If we would like you to comment on how about
- 2:12a cheap Acá in Bogotá. We saw the truth very organized and how it
- 2:15was presented to us. Let' s see what happens. If clear marathons
- 2:19there in Arequipa, in peace, in faith that is about the same height,
- 2:23then they will have five zero in five thousand registered to handle it in
- 2:27the right way. And the news we found out about there is that they
- 2:32' re touching the accounts to the already so they can have the certificate.
- 2:38And so I can, let' s say that classifying the different media is
- 2:43difficult in Bogotá, but, because it becomes more attractive as well. On
- 2:46the other hand, we have here, because a discount in birth a ronner
- 2:51of thirty and twenty percent on marks like nylons, super or exis and mouth.
- 2:57So that you go to the birth page, you net the point and
- 3:00do your Ronners shopping. Well, three minutes passed, no more. It
- 3:05was made quick. It was made on him fast, well three minutes to
- 3:09introduce you today' s guest, who is very special. We' ve
- 3:14really shared with him almost a year ago, almost a year we' ve
- 3:19known him. Welcome, Nicolas Cha Es. Thank you, thank you,
- 3:23happy to be here. I was really surprised by the invitation. He doesn
- 3:25' t expect you why. Because I feel like they have very special guests.
- 3:30I' m sorry it' s my chavere story, but I don
- 3:37' t know if it' s as cool as anyone else' s.
- 3:38It does happen that we had a great story in front of our noses always
- 3:46and until what. Last weekend we sat down a little while after a Holari
- 3:49fund and we said we want you to listen. This is where they take
- 3:53a bakery to talk and that keeps an incredible story, that we already knew
- 3:59that in sound four and in the club there are incredible stories. In fact,
- 4:02a runner who gets up every day at six in the morning has an
- 4:05incredible story that he would tell and that motivated people. So welcome one-
- 4:10on- one. Thank you, thank you Dani, thank you Cami.
- 4:13Well, I don' t know what they want to know and he tells
- 4:17them from the beginning and we start well, we said the podcast more or
- 4:23less in two parts. One is what Nicolás Chavez was before he got to
- 4:27know the running, what he was doing, where he studied, where he
- 4:30grew up, if they were playing a sport at school, at school,
- 4:32in the neighborhood, and, well, that' s where we' re
- 4:36playing all the rest. The clearing. Well, good for those who don
- 4:39' t know me. My name is Nicolás Chávez. I' m 30
- 4:43years old. A little while ago I fulfilled them, but I, in
- 4:45the world of running, like four long years, maybe I always had like
- 4:50a childhood where I was moving and I was and that was kind of funny.
- 4:54Fa now sees it from a retrospective, because in school I won like
- 4:59in physical education, when I was like in elementary school, like that of
- 5:03resistance that put him to run one, they were eliminating the last one and
- 5:08I was at first. I' m the physical education teacher. He told
- 5:10me how come you' re, like, well, there' s going
- 5:14to be a dunal race and I told my dad like dad, because there
- 5:18' s a tenal race I was super shy, I was super short.
- 5:21There, such a tale, was a growth hormone to me when I was
- 5:25ninth, because I was very short and my dad said how good we go.
- 5:31It turns out that I, as I was so small on the way
- 5:34out, fell down, fell over a thousand people from above me I was
- 5:40very shy, I mean, I started to cry about everything and it was
- 5:42a return to the tunnel. I arrived, because I think last, maybe
- 5:45and because I was very scared and when I came to my mom crying all
- 5:50because the baby was all destroyed and there is no scraping anymore. And that
- 5:56' s where it turned out to be. I never touched on the runin
- 5:59again. I remained the subject of school and I dedicated myself. He went
- 6:05to other things like football, which I liked going to the stadium. And
- 6:11to that I' m a finance professional, I studied finance because I didn
- 6:15' t really know how to study. My dad wanted me to be a
- 6:18mechanical engineer, but I didn' t want to be a mechanical engineer.
- 6:20My brother is a mechanical engineer. My cousins are mechanical wits. My dad
- 6:25is piri. I didn' t want to. I said no, but
- 6:28it was about ten days before I closed all college registrations, and my brother
- 6:31was the one who told me. There I studied finance and I said good.
- 6:34It' s because I didn' t know. I was like so
- 6:38collapsed I said good. And I went into college and there it kind of
- 6:42changed a lot of fear, because I didn' t get out that much
- 6:46before and I started dating and I kind of had college partying and studying and
- 6:51I didn' t do it anymore. They really didn' t do anything
- 6:53at all. More football, yes, yes, but once in a while,
- 6:56when there was time, because the rest of me had it, it
- 6:59was other things, I didn' t do anything at all. But when
- 7:02I graduated, I started seeing money like I started working and started out as
- 7:08out of control, I started traveling to do things. But there was a
- 7:13point where already very, very, very serious the subject, I left for
- 7:16Russia of the World Cup. I went back, I went to see myself,
- 7:20to Argentina, I was this complete. I came back and it was
- 7:26my birthday. Here you bouquet a jat in Cartagena, that is, a
- 7:29crazy thing, and I arrived again and came a friend to Australia, because
- 7:32I was living for a while in Australia and we went to eighty- five
- 7:36and mescope in the lookout oy seriously. Yeah, and I said, like,
- 7:42those days were like a gynecian that happens, it' s time to
- 7:46get him down, and I started getting a little bit away from my whole
- 7:49world, I mean, he played a bond. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 7:50real, real, I started to bring him down like but little by
- 7:54little, so because I was like that chevere friend who used to say like
- 8:00a good, unbelieving friend that you spent no, no, no, the
- 8:03one that was always available. So also good, well, then I thought
- 8:09I' d walk away and I just started dating a person, with a
- 8:13girl who got on very badly with my friends. So, like, it
- 8:18went away like the breaking point to get away from so much party, so
- 8:22much gives. It came in like two thousand nineteen and I ended that relationship,
- 8:31but I didn' t want to go back to the same thing and
- 8:35one day for things of life, I met a group of people at the
- 8:39stadium who told me they were going to train, to a training group and
- 8:43I said on a Thursday night, I trained, they saw how they won
- 8:48' t run and I you run. They owed us people who ran.
- 8:52Rolling is a sport. Yeah, yeah, what' s that. I
- 8:56' m home. They told me, he arrives at the NIKE of eighty
- 9:00- seven at night. Well, when I see a lot of people,
- 9:03all pretty with tennis, I came in with football pants, except cros on
- 9:09my knees, if those of lis migros dise and I felt a little bad
- 9:15because, because everyone was like dice to run and that was like my first
- 9:20approach. But that day we had four kilometers of training, I stopped about
- 9:28eight times with a bad glass, we left the eighty- two and ended
- 9:33up at the hero monument and I stopped many times. And that thing has
- 9:35traffic lights and it' s all not bad. So I mean, the
- 9:39first time was in an entremento of Nike and already, but at that moment
- 9:45I was weighing sixty- six kilos. Right now I weigh fifty- four
- 9:50and I felt pretty heavy. Gordo, yes, and I felt very bad
- 9:58at the time, because but with myself, because I was always competitive in
- 10:03the middle of all the little things I did. But I was competitive and
- 10:07I said like so I can' t run four kilometers and more you know
- 10:11what happens to me that a lot of people happen to me that I say,
- 10:15but this bad thing like it' s going to happen to me.
- 10:16But one day I' m really fat, yes, yes, yes,
- 10:20Fatty, gentlemen, I' m old now, ladies, I' m
- 10:24old too and I can' t believe it. Don' t be so
- 10:26outrageous to me and I said it can' t be. They told me
- 10:31how there training on Tuesday, you want to come back, because like the
- 10:35group I said as if it is free, super well an incredible atmosphere.
- 10:39Then I said like good, and that' s where I got in a
- 10:45little bit, but very little bit by bit. It left like Tuesday,
- 10:46as after I went back here or the fifteen days, because here, at
- 10:50that time, if you saw Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mechanic, but after
- 10:54the first run that much Friday no Mames, it hurt me of h In
- 11:01fact, I told my brother how I don' t know how they do,
- 11:05because it hurts me all. I didn' t know anything about tennis
- 11:07or anything. I smelled a lot of what happened to you. It didn
- 11:13' t happen there but they said running, but they had nothing. Those
- 11:16are soon, no, no, no, if it was time for the
- 11:22chiquitic cedar. I didn' t even know what those tennis were for.
- 11:24I came back, but then I already wanted to go on. So,
- 11:28like, there I started to get to know a little bit more of how
- 11:35the runner community, and I started to see those peacemakers that I started putting
- 11:39them like wow on an altar that is going to wait, for example,
- 11:43always since I started I admired it very much. I used to say how
- 11:48waw someday I want to be like him. A jesir. I also used
- 11:52to say crack because just when I arrived, I was recovering from your surgery,
- 11:56because he had classified the Olympics upstairs and he did surgery and couldn'
- 12:01t go. I didn' t know I bought a marathon classimic. So,
- 12:05yeah, yeah, but then he infected a tooth and it went to
- 12:09his lungs and he told that story in Knike and it was like a life
- 12:13story and I seem amazing that is wow and I had them already super like
- 12:20a pest and I started like that you know and I made a small group.
- 12:26There friends and they said they were going to write the aviang race It
- 12:30was the first of March of the two thousand nineteen and I ran him in
- 12:35fifty- eight minutes. I think I stopped, like, six times in
- 12:41a bad glass, but how long he spent training, like, two months,
- 12:43two months. Well, yes, because I had to run. I
- 12:48was in the story. I have to but I didn' t know at
- 12:52the time whether that was good or bad. Yeah, I got that faith
- 12:54pen and I which is that you go down, yeah and I didn'
- 13:03t have a watch. I ran with my own tennis. I didn'
- 13:07t have any pants, you' re welcome. It was even very funny
- 13:11when they saw Abianja' s kit, I saw behind the number of the
- 13:18dorsal is the chips. I said this because it' s stuck there I
- 13:22' m trying to pull that off. The night before this I didn'
- 13:24t, I didn' t know anything, and I who is so weird.
- 13:28So, like, there I started falling in love with the story,
- 13:35already following in Nike, because I was really into Nike, a friend I
- 13:39was there with, because I did it there and I wanted to get into
- 13:43a group of runners and club, and yes, a club, but I
- 13:46didn' t understand what that was. I thought it was like the same
- 13:50thing in Ike, but since smaller than that, then he said yes to
- 13:54me. But let' s go and talk to us with peralta and then,
- 13:58at the end of the day, we couldn' t figure it out
- 14:03with you because until now I was starting as your team. But then he
- 14:05told me there' s a person who also enters here on a team called
- 14:07Camilo Lancheros and I turn to see him and I don' t mean,
- 14:13he' s very brave this was passer- by at the time. That
- 14:16' s how it was plagued at the time of Nike and I remember that
- 14:20I asked him as a favor, like he helped me because those same tennis
- 14:24were causing me perioditis, but I didn' t know who' s called,
- 14:26but hetitis. I was telling her a pain. Here they are then.
- 14:31Yeah, yeah, I hurt like everything. Then he told me how
- 14:35he looked at me, just as those tennis should be, as I stretch
- 14:39out to do this, but very serious and I kind of told him when
- 14:46I just joined the team. Ah well, then my friend told me let
- 14:48' s go in and prepare a race that' s called o. But
- 14:50they told him I want to use some door. No, I told my
- 14:54friend to do it You tell me where, so what do I have to
- 14:58do? And now, but you did. He talked to camilo, but
- 15:03I wasn' t there. He just told me how that time came.
- 15:05If not, I was afraid. Right now, the listener is already behind.
- 15:13But then, at that moment my friend that if I was very involved
- 15:18in the story, he told me how there is a race that is fifteen
- 15:22kilometers alians I fifteen not. I don' t know if he can make
- 15:26fifteen or not, and besides that I' d had two months on it,
- 15:30I hadn' t been there anymore and then he said no. That
- 15:31' s why we' re getting into that team. That race. It
- 15:33' s like at the end of May we barely got to train. And
- 15:37I said good, but I' m going to pay for it until that
- 15:41race, because art is that it' s not enough for me, because
- 15:43to pay more, because no, let' s say that at that time
- 15:46I didn' t have such a job to be. So it was kind
- 15:48of good, okay. Make him the first day I walk and he says
- 15:54how this is Nicolas and so I am happy to look at his training plan
- 15:56as it is not that I told him and said ah well, let'
- 16:00s start when Sunday I already had plan to go out on Saturday to disturb
- 16:03him. But when since Sunday ten kilometers, I crashed, so I was
- 16:08going to pick up a Sunday ten that I what hours. I didn'
- 16:14t, please, if they had died, imagine and then I mean there
- 16:21something started to talk to me about country of rhythms. I still didn'
- 16:23t understand that well. I went here like why, because I wanted to,
- 16:27because I liked it like that, but I didn' t understand those
- 16:32things well. Even there I remember a lot and it was something very nice
- 16:36that that day I always wanted to run, but Niki had different days.
- 16:40I was starting a day of strength, one day and one day I was
- 16:42running and they arrived not today is kind of technique and Joon not that techniques,
- 16:48soccer peak, that all that also like gey by train and every day
- 16:53they want the posas such cos goes. Then he got up, i e,
- 17:03Esperalta and began to explain to them the bracing of how to step on,
- 17:08how to run on other grounds, why it hurts here and I said
- 17:12ush chévere because I never knew that and and never how I understood that that
- 17:21went beyond, I still don' t understand. I don' t keep
- 17:23running him and that' s where I started, I mean, I started
- 17:30with a camilo and I started running a little bit more engaged, although it
- 17:34' s always like my old lady caught up with me sometimes and it was
- 17:41kind of flashing if it was like flashing, but it was a few that
- 17:47I started running just like the month of starting with Camilo came out to me
- 17:53is that Ny' s career was revis a ok yes, I was going
- 17:57to prepare for someone aliens yes, so, inside of that came the cove.
- 17:57Then you either told me how to show you how we' re doing.
- 18:02Forty- seven minutes, hey don' t come down in ten minutes.
- 18:06I' m good. Then Camilo said ah well, and I beat
- 18:08Jonathan, that he was just the one I was with, and he always
- 18:11had a lot of advantages for me, always with the one we were going
- 18:15in with. So we started training together and we kind of started that way.
- 18:22But I enjoyed it. I mean, I was kind of running done
- 18:25myself because I didn' t understand. I was like we ran and when
- 18:30we entered the saltpetre track, when they renewed it, I was happy early
- 18:33in the morning, but I didn' t take care of the rhythms.
- 18:37Jonathan if he was very worried about that it was like everything, he doesn
- 18:40' t play and I followed the sane one because he was very serious and
- 18:42I, if we' re going to do it, but I enjoying the
- 18:48story, I didn' t do it anymore and already, I ran alians
- 18:55at that time when they don' t tell me for alias. That was
- 18:56from me I entered with Camilo, he as at the end of March and
- 19:00it encenales him in April, that is, in what in May, pardon
- 19:03April, two long months. So, between those two months, you'
- 19:07re black, too. Yeah, but anyway, Camilo of faith as good
- 19:11is already written, so let' s run it, but wait, let
- 19:18' s learn first run and I kind of, like, yeah, well,
- 19:22that' s it right there that look who made it in an hour
- 19:23seven. That was, like, four or thirty- five. I don
- 19:27' t remember. I think it was or was, but I swear to
- 19:32you, I still didn' t quite understand the air. I didn'
- 19:34t know if I was okay or I was. I was enjoying the patch
- 19:37because it was healthy. And even my parents up to that point said how
- 19:42you' re going out, how I' m going to run. Not
- 19:45that ah well, but they thought I was coming in like the park or
- 19:47something. They didn' t, like they didn' t get the idea
- 19:51then, like,' cause then, to see this tired little boy go
- 19:53to anger taking it and now that he gave it to them for running.
- 19:56Yeah, that' s for sure in hard pants. I knew that within
- 20:00the day or how long it will last. Let' s see, but
- 20:03that' s where I started, really that' s where I started,
- 20:07and let' s say when they were here I always saw them like wow,
- 20:12I wish, someday I could wish, but, well, right now,
- 20:12we' re all going to that. Okay, but it' s
- 20:15still so much. In the past there was alien machine and now next those
- 20:22buy well, yeah. I think that at that moment not to be training
- 20:26anything, to come as overweight, because I am small and that with Ayuis
- 20:33not because they did not give me the hormone growing to see that I was
- 20:37going to be super small. Say, but we can show your fattest picture.
- 20:42Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it, I didn' t
- 20:45get it. In fact, I have the photo, well, I have
- 20:48several fat photos and I have the photo with the Abianka medal. Oh,
- 20:51yeah, and there I look funny. I even ran with those big bike
- 20:55glasses. I didn' t know anything about that after aliasing that what happens,
- 21:04that follows after alien or crazy, camilo and change told Win for his
- 21:08talent. Yeah, well, I don' t walk. He was always
- 21:14very sincere about everything and well, I didn' t have very high expectations
- 21:18either, because, because that was a different world for me, that is,
- 21:22when we say I spoke to Jonathan, who was at that time as
- 21:26my closest friend. He was talking to me about BKL, the ki Show,
- 21:30the London Marathon and I was going to do it, but so it
- 21:34does exist, yes, I, wow, yes, yes, yes,
- 21:40I, uh, well, then they said I didn' t know it
- 21:42was a marathon I forty- two, which is so crazy that I with
- 21:47fifteen people dying then happened to him as he was very sincere and told me
- 21:52how we' re going to start a process, but I' m glad
- 21:55they' re here, because, because you see the improvement and the team
- 21:57on the way at that time was small. I don' t think it
- 22:00was more than six people, eight people. Maybe we were yes, Cami
- 22:03was starting with the subject so far and Cami was training very hard at that
- 22:07time for the eight- hundred nationals. So he, he trained a lot
- 22:12and so did I when I started training with him, I had it as
- 22:18if, yeah, wow, yeah, not incredible And I remember why I
- 22:23told him like you how much you have ten shirts, like thirty- four,
- 22:27something like thirty- four to fifty and I didn' t at what
- 22:30time. That' s true, all that and as he always spent it
- 22:36with Ivan Magi. I kind of saw them already like wow. Not sure,
- 22:41then, or that I am, but if I already knew who were
- 22:45law that is already there I understood a little because they explained me. But,
- 22:49and I even at that time what everyone thinks as brothers or cousins or
- 22:53something, and I was like cousins and I would have thought for a long
- 22:56time that they were cousins, and that came was my training and I thought
- 23:00they were cousins. Yeah, he was. Many of them did, yes,
- 23:04yes, they did, but always as if they were attracted by the
- 23:10distance, so to speak shorter, no, not ever. Yeah. Yeah,
- 23:15well, let' s just say that when I started as the process
- 23:22of one I said that no half Marathon of Bogotá and I ran it in
- 23:26the two thousand nineteen. Oh, yeah, yeah, that' s the
- 23:27same year. In the same year I was crazy. I wanted if that
- 23:30was what I wanted to say, I would be the winner, but then,
- 23:36after that half- week, I ran it in an hour thirty-
- 23:40five, as well as the same as alians as keeping the average, but
- 23:42twenty- one kilometers. So I kind of did, well if I did,
- 23:45but then, at that point, we already started to train more judicious,
- 23:51but I still enjoyed it. But then, like my goal at the
- 23:55time, like my whole focus was to get to forty minutes, that'
- 24:00s better said what I wanted to go further, there was nothing. I
- 24:03was blinded like that in a cabacho, but you know yes and I don
- 24:08' t. I didn' t think of more than anything else, but
- 24:11that, and we started training for it and I didn' t compete any
- 24:18more. He told me to dedicate ourselves to this. Do it. You
- 24:21can, you have capabilities. I don' t know what and I'
- 24:26m good, but I' m happy and it' s Nike and sometimes
- 24:29it' s party day. I don' t know what to. But
- 24:30if I was still as if I lived right away, that is, yes,
- 24:33yes, yes, of course, I am, I was like that,
- 24:37yes, güey and then look at me and in that same year,
- 24:41that is the Ace OK, that is already September, in September. But
- 24:44we missed the race they chose to train them two was Medellin. Yeah,
- 24:48because Melin children because it was said it was a fast ten car. I
- 24:52didn' t know. I didn' t even know I was racing.
- 24:55We know the only ones were Bogota. Ever since I did that, you
- 24:57know, you don' t get out It' s not a month and
- 25:03a lot of times, but it' s not going to run like that
- 25:08if I see it And I was the one who knew we were all going
- 25:17for me then, and we went there and I did thirty- eight fifty,
- 25:18I believe in the same year. Yes, in thirty- eight fifty,
- 25:21yes, I mean, it doesn' t happen to me or,
- 25:25but it doesn' t happen bad anymore, yes and good and then it
- 25:30was as I could, but there I had an existential crisis, because I
- 25:37did propose it so much in my mind that I later said like and now
- 25:42what, like what this is, I mean, you already saw that yes
- 25:47as if top yes I kind of didn' t see it apart because I
- 25:49never saw myself so far away. I mean, not there to see what
- 25:52I mean, like I never thought I' d get to run like in
- 25:56a district or with very fast people. But I didn' t see myself
- 26:04running talent either. Then I said no, because getting there is very difficult.
- 26:07I' ve already arrived here and I think I feel fulfilled or,
- 26:11but I' ve reached thirty- thirty- eight and thirty- eight,
- 26:15fifty- five, I don' t remember. I think it was twelve.
- 26:18Yeah, if that race' s a good one,' cause they
- 26:22pay well in megin, if it' s a simple one, but the
- 26:27friend focused on the camel. That one went on. I' m all
- 26:30over Melin. Yes, he runs forty- two for one too. Yeah,
- 26:33yeah. They' re telling you otherwise, because we were very competitive
- 26:38at the time. But there' s no line, because I didn'
- 26:45t see it that way. I enjoyed it and it was more because it
- 26:47was very judicious, but then I remember a lot. One day I didn
- 26:52' t train on Sunday because I went to party there I rested, I
- 26:57was eating in a Britanga square another day and the other like Tuesday as no
- 27:02Marica, imagine I ate a burger. I feel bad, I don'
- 27:06t know what yes and then I, by triumph, do look, but
- 27:12then also, like Camilo made me like a wake up call when there started
- 27:15to be things, as it comes, you want to improve yourself judicious,
- 27:22no more things favor and judicious. If I' m not going to get
- 27:26high and if he kicks me out enough yes, of course or not too
- 27:30much and I don' t know. I don' t think so anymore.
- 27:33But before when I feel that when we were little and when I started
- 27:37to get better enough. He was very demanding with me. That was really
- 27:41good because I was going astray to that day little ones come, but s
- 27:48kept going to Nagy not so often anymore. I mean, Nike was everything
- 27:52to me, I mean, yeah, I loved it was a patch and
- 27:56no or bacchan, or everybody took me, even I was adidas like twice
- 28:02a life Runners. Yeah, but I didn' t like it. No,
- 28:06no, no, because he didn' t swear. I don'
- 28:08t know I felt like more feeling in Nike. I don' t know
- 28:14the structure was kind of similar, but I didn' t feel as much
- 28:19as camaraderie as the patch. I don' t know. At the same
- 28:22time I married the brand. Yeah, and that' s what happened.
- 28:25But let' s just say that at that moment I always wanted to be
- 28:29a part of them. But training didn' t leave me that much anymore
- 28:32because I don' t know. Sundays were made eight kilometers, because they
- 28:33are like an initiation, not almost always. It' s like for people
- 28:37who are starting out. And Camilo was already putting on other workouts. Then
- 28:41they kind of don' t match sometimes. So I kind of didn'
- 28:44t go, but I don' t know, the Halloween event was already
- 28:48disguised as time. I was already then like I never lost this north like
- 28:56Nike, but I was still training. But just as much as I tell
- 29:00you, I never thought I' d get any better. That' s
- 29:06where I arrived at when the opportunity to start working with aBY is given.
- 29:12I mean. That' s way ahead. Much later you all tell us
- 29:18then what' s still going on there I go and you say the existential
- 29:26crisis. Yeah, you know what it' s like and there' s
- 29:30how you get up. That was a funny thing to do. It was
- 29:33really like life. I guess, because I' d been away for a
- 29:38long time, because I wasn' t going out with anyone, because I
- 29:41was just doing it, because, because I feel like I' d been
- 29:47destroyed a lot, I was alone and I was like rebuilding and a few,
- 29:52because I liked that quite and fair. I started dating a little league
- 29:53fight and started to understand how to sport beyond just enjoying it or going out
- 30:00for a run. And already because Camilo told me 12 kilometers, I said
- 30:06it' s a client already, because he did other things to me.
- 30:10But I started to see how sports life goes beyond. Then she had her
- 30:15nutritionist, her sports psychologist, her physical trainer, her double journey and her
- 30:22journey. Whoever' s better, yeah, how about this? Then I
- 30:27started getting a lot into the story and something very nice was that she believed
- 30:33a lot in me like it' s not very good and I that I
- 30:37' m not good me, so I said don' t look at Camilo,
- 30:41look at this, look at bas Look at me I don' t
- 30:45mean, I' m x So I said no, you can train.
- 30:47Then I was beginning to demand a lot. So, I don' t
- 30:49eat that junk as much as in the living room, how more festering as
- 30:53it started to go a lot and I started, because I was dating her.
- 30:56So, like my whole day- to- day thing started turning to
- 31:00the run and I mean, like this is my life and that started to
- 31:07come back to her because I was going out with her and all I was
- 31:10talking about was those workouts but she was in the corridor of also den Durance
- 31:15and ran to 1, 500 and without three thousand five thousand. Yeah,
- 31:19yeah, yeah, and that' s where I started getting in the way.
- 31:25But just, because I say it was for many people it was very
- 31:30bad. It was very good for me that I came to the pandemic,
- 31:34because I had been with her for about two months, two or three months.
- 31:37Maybe and there came a pandemic and I was very lucky that I could
- 31:44work from my house. But because it was little work, but I could
- 31:47then go to eat, train, sleep and I was given the opportunity to
- 31:53buy a trot. Now where the whole pandemic. It was eating well,
- 32:00training and sleeping, eating well, training and sleeping as if, just like
- 32:05that because I' ve worked a couple of hours and no more and because
- 32:08let' s say it was a pandemic. And so, thank God,
- 32:10because I could live with what I paid, with what I was earning at
- 32:14that time and because I lived with my parents at that time. Then it
- 32:17was super chore. So I didn' t even know, I mean,
- 32:23that deal really couldn' t be proved in Nino no. And that I
- 32:27have the normal garming is you do that and you tell him it goes to
- 32:31three, but then it' s a lie when we get back from pandemic.
- 32:37So we started out as training a month as a cover or almost all
- 32:42that and we played a checkup and I, well and I got like my
- 32:47little ones and I did thirty- seven also here in Bogotá and I ten
- 32:54km around Simon, thirty- seven and I in eight then walked my faggot
- 32:59hit super good, they were all fat, all out of shape and I
- 33:01was fine. I said, well, yes, because I even got my
- 33:05mark and yes from Bogotá, because before I was going to run there.
- 33:09So that happened, that was two thousand twenty. No, yeah, that
- 33:15' s kind of like we started training a little bit and camel told me
- 33:21nico, let' s get into a district. You can, I don
- 33:22' t imagine, because what I' m going to do outside already I
- 33:27feel sorry for it, not for it, because to see they were the
- 33:30track was a ten thousand and I said they' re going to take me
- 33:35a lot of turns and tell me no, no, don' t make
- 33:38me know them for America and I get to that track without knowing what that
- 33:43was, or like a competition. Yeah, I went alone and I didn
- 33:50' t know anything. Weyón and I did not know that it was up
- 33:52to go to the Chamber called to her that you had to present your tennis
- 33:57and take a photo, that played not many things that I nor when came
- 34:04Camino, let him die. No, no, no, I was already
- 34:08reading the United States, Hemia I got killed and I got there and there
- 34:17' s Franklin, Tedges, Iván González, Mauricio González, Henry told Jess
- 34:24and Dorbuelas it' s not all joan me all pretty. Yeah, yeah,
- 34:30yeah, but it' s just a frame of my life. That
- 34:34' s when I realized that I went to fight something, tell what happened,
- 34:38because I came and they saw me so lost that they were going,
- 34:43because they were going to distinguish me, but I have never talked to him,
- 34:46just like Mauritius, that is, like, ah well, this is
- 34:47a camel pupil. But up there and they gave me a llata alone and
- 34:51they were going told me come hot with me and I' m really blessed
- 34:57and I wow, good of a yes and then I started to warm up
- 35:02with Camilo, with Mauricio and Ivan, and there Henry and I turned to
- 35:07see Henry, and Henry greeted me that more and I looked like I admired
- 35:10him very much because he won Nangi' s career in the two thousand nineteen
- 35:15when I started running and I saw him pass as youff and I had him
- 35:20in a pest. So yes, yes, Henry and then I, because
- 35:27he started talking to me about giving me advice, he gave me a shot
- 35:29of caffeine. I' ve never tasted that. I took this I God,
- 35:32mine are this is legal and he told me and then I said good,
- 35:42already God' s. I hope you don' t get me.
- 35:45A lot of turns, hey, and I started and I came out all
- 35:51noise thirty- four five. I think they say thirty- ten you Gota
- 35:55that day Ivan spent me two months, no more, twice, no more.
- 36:00And he made twenty- nine, fifty- fifty. I believe here
- 36:02in Bogotá. The track was the first to drop the mark. From there
- 36:06emphatic in Bogotá and Henry I how close to Jesse, close to Henry and
- 36:13I ufsharse what happiness. I was very happy, but he wrote Camilo what
- 36:17a faggot. The gelicites is what you see now, king well, how
- 36:23you' re going to make that mark in fifteen days. There' s
- 36:27a three- thousand- year- old boy. Not me, what'
- 36:29s wrong with him. It' s not like he' s crazy.
- 36:30Let' s make it unique, let' s make it three thousand and
- 36:37I was as full of it? It was kind of full of encouragement because
- 36:40it' s going to be over thirty- seven. About twenty days ago,
- 36:45perhaps a month to thirty- four, for it is thirty- seven.
- 36:50I think it' s three hundred forty, maybe thirty- four.
- 36:52It' s three hundred and twenty- five. Crazy give him, not
- 36:55three, but about thirty, but we find him. But there if you
- 37:04used some, some kind of special delights, you had no at that time
- 37:07if you could run with Prack, you didn' t need spikes, no,
- 37:12no, you didn' t need this good I had bays for Fly.
- 37:15At that time I always went and I mean very true to the brand.
- 37:21No, he didn' t sponsor me. It wasn' t always
- 37:22there. It was that I liked it a lot, even but to see
- 37:25at one time the Elias the ultravos, I didn' t like it very
- 37:30much and I tried the mark of my wallance, but I don' t
- 37:32remember the reference well. I saw them and I liked them. I like
- 37:37it because in the instep like that orma or chore, but it was spent
- 37:42very fast. I mean, it was six hundred kilometers and it hurt all
- 37:45over and I didn' t, I mean, I liked it, I
- 37:50liked it, but they didn' t have durability then, but I didn
- 37:53' t always try how little I had. I was buying Nike Ok tennis
- 37:57Well, that' s where we follow the district chinese. Yeah, well,
- 38:00I' m done here, but I' m done. I asked
- 38:01Henry Yo ahori for a picture, who could take a picture with you competing
- 38:06next to him. I look at him and he told me clearly, of
- 38:07course he' s also a picture with a friend and I thank Ntes.
- 38:09I had an anime already a little more, but it was, like,
- 38:15well district and that happened to him nine thirty. So, I didn'
- 38:21t win that far like nothing, but it was three days. Then I
- 38:27made a nine thirty. And it was also good, because I never thought
- 38:30running was so fast. I mean, I never imagined it. Güey,
- 38:37I never imagined it then as three ten and you weya, so, not
- 38:42Camilo too, brother, come see if you see, leave so much jewel
- 38:45there that it is running or it is tobio. Yes, but already very,
- 38:50very, very fajito And already, but so, yes, yes,
- 38:52pandemic, you want to calm down, of course, of course, because
- 38:54there was no more. But, anyway, after the pandemic, one was
- 38:59advised. And then, like then, if that happened there and it was
- 39:08like there, it was like the point where I believed the story where I
- 39:15said I can train hard, I can run hard, I can, I
- 39:22can, I can, because I can, and they were more aware of
- 39:29everything and we said as good half marathon to see how I' m doing.
- 39:30Maybe yes, I' m doing well, maybe not yes, let
- 39:34' s see that year was a little difficult. He goes up low,
- 39:39but he happens to be going to Chicago, to the half marathon in Chicago,
- 39:45in the United States, and he was pretty curious because my parents have
- 39:50never seen me run. They kept believing that I was going to the sea
- 39:52up there. Never. Not ever, although they helped me with the jogging
- 39:55machine and the subject and they saw me running there all the time. But
- 40:00because they had never gone to a race and apart from me, it'
- 40:01s not that I competed every time and well, and there came pandemic too,
- 40:08because then my dad said come on, let' s go there.
- 40:10My brother saw in America and then we met my brother. I am when
- 40:16they half day or so, I took the starting line, we went out,
- 40:21but they could only see me at the exit and on the way there
- 40:23were about six hundred meters away. Maybe when they saw that I was tenth,
- 40:30when they saw that I was coming from decius, they couldn' t
- 40:34believe it. I mean, they thought I was gonna get it over there
- 40:36Let' s go in there Yeah, second gene Just because there' s
- 40:45a curvita, and I turn around like that when they see me being like
- 40:49that. You went and I listened to my brother as well or I and
- 40:53well, I was a cheer first time too. Yeah, of course not.
- 40:59My dad' s proud. That day he posed with his medal.
- 41:02So, yeah, I don' t, but it happens when the videos.
- 41:07Yes, he was excited, of course, but I didn' t
- 41:09think he was going to run so fast that day either. I mean,
- 41:12I saw when I did that district like I said how I wanted to challenge
- 41:20myself then in a half marathon. I feel like I can, but let
- 41:24' s set a New York goal, because I didn' t want to
- 41:28love you yet. But half a marathon in New York lets run with a
- 41:32classification. Then he asked me at my age for an hour, nineteen,
- 41:37fifty- nine. Oh, he doesn' t. The New York marathon
- 41:38lets a half day run, too. But the half marathon for your half
- 41:44marathon run, they ask you for a good half marathon, I mean,
- 41:49they ask me for an hour, an hour nineteen asked me to run the
- 41:52half marathon. So I said well, where I run an hour of that
- 41:57I don' t know if I can. Then it was like Chicago.
- 42:00Well, I tried harder, I was going in my mind that I was
- 42:05going to run to three hundred and fifty to be able to classic. I
- 42:07had to run to three hundred and forty- nine my marathon to run on
- 42:12Girl ranks. Yeah, hours, no, no, no, no,
- 42:14that' s not very much. And I ran an hour fourteen that went
- 42:19to three twenty- nine. I think so, but I went out is
- 42:24that three hundred thirty- three and I, my God, go very fast
- 42:30and start running and run and run already like twelve. I kept on keeping
- 42:35pace about three hundred and thirty, three hundred and twenty- nine, and
- 42:39I said here, do so, and give him of God. If I
- 42:42could, I felt very strong. I said if I can and when and
- 42:46no one happened to me, I went alone. There' s a really
- 42:49cool picture because I go all the way on that highway just because I didn
- 42:53' t go far and the 11th didn' t look. Then it was
- 42:59also a career with myself, because alone and when I arrived, because I
- 43:05didn' t think it was either. I was going to run to three
- 43:07hundred and fifty. I swear, I ended up running to three hundred and
- 43:10twenty- nine. Not at zero here, not at sea level. I
- 43:15think yes, I think yes and it was like the same weather here Bogotak
- 43:21is where I, like what I trained then, like that day was very
- 43:24nice, because my parents were very happy and I was very happy too and,
- 43:31well, it was like the first day I was doing well to run.
- 43:36It went super well with this when we talked and they told me how
- 43:38not to ch because I thought I was going to get so far. I
- 43:42don' t think I say yes and I' m always looking for a
- 43:46better tavia. I always tell that that' s where my parents and my
- 43:51two brothers became my official sponsors. After that, I remember they gave me
- 43:55some tennis as a gift and I thanked myself. Chévere then kind of started
- 44:02there as that way to train hard also because I passed the application to new
- 44:09yor and I said ansi of one i e without draw or anything, otherwise
- 44:14I entered then I already had the two thousand twenty- three. That was
- 44:16last year I ran in New York, so I already had the registration.
- 44:22Last year, New Jersey was told how smart of one you' re in
- 44:27and I' m great dad we' re going to New Yor. The
- 44:30other year they said as one said let' s go then. It'
- 44:35s like that' s where my way of running started I' m called
- 44:39a New York marathon. I ran Chicago in September and New Cry in March.
- 44:45So, like everyone. The goal was to get there. But I
- 44:49felt it and I kept sending the prs yes, I ran, yes,
- 44:52yes, a run, but I went I got it at the same time.
- 44:57I do, I sound in the achille tendon achilles. I was running
- 45:02really well. It was my best time. I was Top Top Top Top
- 45:08Top, because ah well, yeah, not that was after it, ah
- 45:14no, then. It was the two thousand twenty- two pardons. It
- 45:16was the two thousand twenty- two yes, because last year it was that
- 45:19I was in something else, sorry yes, two thousand twenty- two aquiles
- 45:25and I went to New York, that is, I had been feeling good
- 45:30for about two weeks, a week that I felt good before the race.
- 45:32I ran it the same for an hour fourteen long, but I felt it
- 45:38could be an hour or eleven, an hour to ten, that is,
- 45:42I felt that I could perfectly correct three thousand fives as they said, that
- 45:46is, no, no, yes, no, I didn' t put
- 45:51out a lot of money. I think so, no, no, no.
- 45:53It wasn' t a crazy thing and it was also like a lot
- 45:58of prize standing in Chicago was more quiet, but to the already it was
- 46:05like it was so high that I left. It was getting cold and I
- 46:06got super warm, but with a compression shirt that I loved and finally,
- 46:14when they started running, they took things off. I feel like a lot
- 46:17of things broke up and things started to go away and that' s donated
- 46:22to me. I didn' t know and I said he' s not
- 46:24here. I love it. I got a lot of silver and I was
- 46:29wearing sleeves, gloves, hats and all that just the starting line. They
- 46:34took off in a skeleton and I, of course a kilometer eight I was
- 46:39soaked in his port no longer could stand anything, but I nothing, I
- 46:45there I with that was with my doubts. I don' t have money,
- 46:46I won' t take care of this, nothing in this also played
- 46:51me a bad time. Since it' s not not not to inquire you
- 46:55know like no. Always, always let me be carried away by my impulses
- 47:00and as with the eagerness to ay we will enjoy. I don' t
- 47:05dig a bit and I think it might have been better, but I even
- 47:09ran well with the injury. So I ran back to three thirty, because
- 47:13it wasn' t like the idea, but I ran it and I just
- 47:17got an email a week from New York. He told me how to take
- 47:21your marathon registration because you classified and I said no, I did not.
- 47:28Yeah, I do, but no, I said I don' t want
- 47:31to, I want to improve my ten houses and I want to be faster
- 47:35in half a marathon. So I said that to Camilo and that' s
- 47:37where he went. I was already more aware of everything. I was already
- 47:40very landed, it wasn' t so much and I' m going to
- 47:44run. Yes, yes, yes, yes, more mature already, and
- 47:46then I read that I want to run faster, but then he told me
- 47:51as unique, we have to work a lot of track, because you never
- 47:55had that process of running eight hundred, one thousand five hundred, three thousand
- 48:00and if you see me right now in a four hundred, one thousand five
- 48:04hundred, you return nothing to me, because I am very slow, because
- 48:07I never had those bases. Then he said to me as if we want
- 48:10to stay to run a lot of track and lie down and from there like
- 48:17ten kilometers to see how we' re doing. I mean, from one
- 48:21and we tried from March to September. I didn' t run anything.
- 48:24I ran absolutely nothing. I went to September to run Meijin Melín two.
- 48:30It was two thousand twenty- two, like it was like the best month
- 48:36of my life so far, because I ran, ran with Henry, the
- 48:44one I admired so much. I beat him for nothing. I made thirty
- 48:49- two forty. I don' t remember being third I got paid the
- 48:54first podium and I' d never been on any podium. I ran very
- 49:00hard, too happy because I didn' t, I mean, I thought
- 49:04about going to improve my brand, but I never thought that coming like this,
- 49:08not because I did think a top ten, but I didn' t
- 49:12think about what they were, because, because, because already I was always
- 49:15going like the Cardobona brothers and they always run to thirty. Then I say
- 49:16nothing, for there is no possibility. It was hardly good for Henry and
- 49:19I, so man, let' s be honest. There was also Bullyn
- 49:23on that day to July. I beat him for this, I mean,
- 49:27nothing. Twenty points came in there. If we were already and bouquets paired
- 49:32workouts and you run. Hard, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 49:35hard, yeah, but jully' s a trill character, too. But
- 49:38then I came back from Mellin and told me a girl who trains with Kami,
- 49:45which is what makes her the topic of strengthening that Kelly calls herself and
- 49:49says communico. There' s a call for Pacers. And I ran you
- 49:52and I for what. Because I because I and he told me how not
- 49:59your uncle is like the profile or you' re a recreational athlete, but
- 50:07you train every day. You' re doing great. You have like energy,
- 50:10you always wear the mark. I ran for you. Let' s
- 50:15see, it' s an application. Maybe so, and I told him
- 50:17how viable he told me no. I think they' re going to receive
- 50:22three men and post like fifty. I don' t know how many,
- 50:24but Harto did. I got to Bogotá, all happy because well, I
- 50:30said that was always my dreams of who made Nike went to my house.
- 50:35And now being able to come to that, because it would be pretty pretty.
- 50:42We were quoted as the month. Yeah, I think like the month
- 50:45I said to myself as Nico, they called me you' re postulated.
- 50:50You passed some filters. I don' t know what we' re going
- 50:54to do, some field tests, and I come as you are the postulates
- 51:00to have and everyone athlete with the best energy. And I didn' t,
- 51:06I didn' t happy, I didn' t, I said thanks
- 51:12to the very nice opportunity. Yes no, I saw, because I don
- 51:15' t know if it' s a problem or something cool, but I
- 51:20see a lot of nice things in people. And I kind of said like,
- 51:22well, he faggot, he' s so so much you are,
- 51:27so much. And I don' t like to run. And that'
- 51:30s all I do. I don' t do any more, and I
- 51:34have an office job that I go out every day at four o' clock
- 51:37in the afternoon and in the time afterwards I take care of you guys if
- 51:40you do this. And so I kind of, like, well, and
- 51:45I went through like sessions, sessions, sessions, and a day like November,
- 51:52I already said that the i calls me and tells me how you spent
- 51:54you were the only one, that was like an anime. And I,
- 52:04as already being part of what I once started being a person, because I
- 52:09consider myself normal because to see I have my work from Monday to Friday from
- 52:15seven in the morning four and a half in the afternoon and because I make
- 52:20an effort, I can run very early or later. And well, I
- 52:27' ve recorded a few, but because I like it and now I'
- 52:31m going to represent a brand so big that I love it, that I
- 52:37' ve always liked it very much and that it was like my initiation.
- 52:39For me, that was a fulfilled dream. What else happened that andres happened
- 52:45and he went through Spina, Camilo, Camargo, Angeloruela' s husband,
- 52:54Kevin Mina, who is a 200- year- old runner and I was
- 53:00when. We passed four women, women if several passed, Gaby, Anna,
- 53:05hedy Geran. And I don' t remember anymore, because if they
- 53:08were gone like asking to be you on the road, that' s not
- 53:13about those who do it every year or anything, but like since I started
- 53:17they' ve never made calls. When I started in the two thousand nineteen,
- 53:20they had never made a summons. They' re always like the same
- 53:22ones and they were shortening by x and reason let' s say camilo,
- 53:27I haven' t been there anymore and there' s a little bit left.
- 53:28Then say how we' re gonna get back together. And that'
- 53:31s where I came in and after three days a box with tennis clothes came
- 53:38in and I' m not that this is the boy' s dream,
- 53:44because he started running with football pants without knowing what this was like to get
- 53:47you a box of tennis, because you' re good, because you do
- 53:53things at heart and I well, what a joy to get to that point.
- 53:57And, well, I was following that yes cres of the current diskyl
- 54:05champion that I say, I mean, how was that preparation, you get
- 54:10that all was drums. Yes, there we started to be more, although
- 54:19we came very judicious with Camilo, we began to devote more time to training
- 54:24as such at the time I was independent of my parents and Camilo was always
- 54:34very emphatic in making strength. I' m a bad guy by force,
- 54:36that' s terrible bad and when I started living near the track a friend
- 54:42trained in a crossfit, in a crossfit thing and I said because it'
- 54:46s the closest thing, because it makes me tired to go to a gym
- 54:51and wait for them to occupy a machine apart, because I don' t
- 54:54know how to do the exercises, I mean, I' m in finance
- 54:58and I did a master' s degree in business management that has nothing to
- 55:00do with exercising and you say then I have no idea. I think it
- 55:02' s running, and then my friend told me we' re going to
- 55:07Crossfit and I' m going, well, come on, then, I
- 55:09' m going to Crassit. But those are giant weights and he started reading
- 55:12my back and this way. So, Camilo, I get a scolding,
- 55:15buddy, how, so, what are you gonna do over there? Come
- 55:17on, let' s get a space in the League gym and train them.
- 55:24Then let' s see on Monday Thursdays and I think Saturdays and at
- 55:30night it was the wine at night at about eight o' clock and yes
- 55:34late and I train them and well, we started to train them dedicated judicious.
- 55:40I was working, Corría, I was strengthening. I was working,
- 55:45Corría was strengthening and thanks to that strengthening I went to Iuague. I did
- 55:47thirty- two fifteen on that one, in November. And yes, well,
- 55:54I felt that I was very committed as it is and that' s
- 56:00where that' s born four in those League talks, because they started to
- 56:06put more perex then like you can' t get it early, if you
- 56:08can' t get it right, such, then you kind of come and
- 56:14how about, if we put up our gym, I have a preapproved credit
- 56:17and the other I have this ay well, so cha, but it started
- 56:19between jokes and chanza. As we strengthened ourselves dedicated to that. So,
- 56:22like there was growing a tiny chic idea and when we got back from me,
- 56:32I kept seeing as locals what came out. We saw a very good
- 56:37place, it had swimming pool, it already had them, a swimming pool
- 56:40as such, the hollow, the hole was there next to the square of
- 56:44the artisans, around the sixties. I already had all the mirrors. It
- 56:47was huge, the price was pretty good. The one with the laughing was
- 56:52very comfortable and the lord had taken them out of work since pandemic because nothing
- 56:58at all, he rented it. So I told Cami how we go and
- 57:00we see him and we were like a group of big friends, we went
- 57:05and we saw him and when we got to the place, like the idea
- 57:08materialized, that is, those gym talks, while I was weighty dying everything
- 57:13already dying like ay, if one day we set up a gym, we
- 57:15went to see that place just for gossiping and there the whole subject materialized.
- 57:21It' s just that they already said come armemolo. Now we do,
- 57:23he wow, yeah, sure, here we put this here, we put
- 57:27the other thing. Here, then, we started to get budgets out of
- 57:32things. It came out of the idea. I called the gentleman as you
- 57:37come We' ll start in December. He said I didn' t let
- 57:40him go oh, it can' t be and Camilo told him don'
- 57:46t look we see because there are already many things armed. Agale Let'
- 57:51s start and find that place, but because much smaller is that the other
- 57:54was five times what we have right now, yes, of course, but
- 58:00Camilo, I didn' t give this place so much future. To be
- 58:02honest, that' s not very small. Camiluja, it' s not
- 58:06like that' s the place. He' s in front of the park
- 58:09Let' s go head- on. I called the lord and the lord
- 58:12like you who you are a child. This one I' m not going
- 58:15to answer for him lease and I' m going to lie down Murs and
- 58:20all yes no. I was telling you, it' s not like we
- 58:22have an idea of doing this. And evil like then, like we went
- 58:24with a camilo and there' s like that Mr I accept me, but
- 58:28just as far away the subject, like I didn' t pick it,
- 58:32it was my turn to tell my dad to come with me. Yeah,
- 58:36and my dad' s already got what he taught and the gentleman' s
- 58:39already changed his look like waw do it to him. So we saw that
- 58:44we started with sound four and we started with zone four and that' s
- 58:50how I already had gymnasium. I' ve already started to run again judicious.
- 58:53There' s a chavera race called a five- day armé not even
- 58:57the first time do it. We' re going like we' re all
- 59:01going well, come on. I swear. I wasn' t thinking about
- 59:05winning. I' ve never thought about winning. I mean, it was
- 59:07always like I wish one day, but I never thought I' d win.
- 59:12And that day, when we got to the starting line, I looked
- 59:15like this and turned to Camilo and I told him I' d make it.
- 59:20I tell you wait it was hot over there he came back and I
- 59:28say you can make them. He looked at the competition. It was the
- 59:30competition and you can agale. I mean, get controlled because they' re
- 59:34gonna burn. And I, for I still consider myself very new on the
- 59:38subject and as you handle it, because I haven' t been running so
- 59:42hard. Then, sometimes suddenly anxiety plays me a bad game, for believing
- 59:45I can win. So I, for I started very much at my own
- 59:52pace that I thought was the appropriate one and I came out about twelve.
- 59:57I believe I because I could see it was going to happen to pass kilometer
- 1:00:00five, I took the first ones and I and they felt tired, I
- 1:00:07saw once I didn' t even give them room to turn who I was.
- 1:00:10I put in a change and do it and I did not see I
- 1:00:16didn' t believe them, because I repeat, I never thought and go
- 1:00:22ahead is to look for that, but that' s not what happened from
- 1:00:28going to Jabilos not a what ok. But this camel ah for vile also
- 1:00:31not, for I had already beaten him, long ago, i e,
- 1:00:34walked as and then he was always like a point where I wanted to get
- 1:00:38there. But after that district, I kind of overcame that barrier and he
- 1:00:44was like I' m really happy in the black one, too. You
- 1:00:47were playing harder. Do it to him and he was always how he helped
- 1:00:53me a lot in that and I always thanked him too. It has been
- 1:00:57like the one who opened the world to me and the o' s,
- 1:01:00because even, that is, it is not for demeriting what I have done,
- 1:01:04for what I have accomplished, but many things that I have done have
- 1:01:06been thanks to him. I' ve told you how I' ve been
- 1:01:10very attached to your world and that world has opened all the doors I have
- 1:01:16then and your advices, like that always that voice of you can of it
- 1:01:22is important the times that ran on track, there is a lot of noise,
- 1:01:27but the only voice that is that I hear I have here in retainives
- 1:01:30that of it then, like it' s always been like that pole to
- 1:01:34earth, like that approach. It' s as you can and as I
- 1:01:37passed them and Armenia was very chore because they invested a lot of money.
- 1:01:43There were two giant army cars ahead, three bikes making a giant noise and
- 1:01:50we just crossed like that, that' s to say, you' d
- 1:01:53get to kilometer five and you' d forget and cross all the people.
- 1:01:55I went first class and that day I went to a lot of people I
- 1:02:00knew, because the race was really nice and everything didn' t go the
- 1:02:05way you did. It' s like I' d rather. I remember
- 1:02:07a lot of pocho, which he preferred to stop and like we' re
- 1:02:12going basolo was give it all to you and I can do it there I
- 1:02:19kind of didn' t want to turn around and see and sometimes I gave
- 1:02:22people how much they saw you don' t go or you' re going
- 1:02:22to. I don' t, but I don' t get to be
- 1:02:30removed or fenced because I ten, like thirty- three, wasn' t
- 1:02:34my best mate, made thirty- three, ten I believe and I about
- 1:02:37thirty- three, two fifteen eighteen. Yeah, it was close. I
- 1:02:39was close, but I managed to do my hands for the first time.
- 1:02:45My first podium was too happy. I never thought it real in fact,
- 1:02:50like what they accomplished I' d never thought about. Yes, a possibility.
- 1:02:53Now the first one gives glories, but that' s what I mean.
- 1:02:58It was always like the idea was ever born in my mind, but
- 1:03:02it was never the way I wanted it. I want no, no,
- 1:03:05if not more so, Cheves, if it' s something I say that
- 1:03:07not everyone had a happy life. Yes, but I think it' s
- 1:03:12better to be surprised by one or, to carry the ego, which is
- 1:03:15much heavier than and trust. Yeah, well, I feel like I also
- 1:03:20had a little confidence in what I could do, but not about others.
- 1:03:24If we say or be exit lines, for example in Medellin or even I
- 1:03:29was going to go to complete machines, but my God is very great.
- 1:03:35The four who went ahead were lost. I swear, they came out.
- 1:03:37Yes, I was in that race two thousand nineteen, not two thousand twenty,
- 1:03:42before the one that was falling down a downpour. If I was there,
- 1:03:45of course because I was running there and I saw that the first ten,
- 1:03:49of course, went on like this, already made the roundabout. It
- 1:03:52' s if I said bad flesh, because it' s that I went
- 1:03:57to the fourth plus I went seventh. I went the seventh when I had
- 1:04:00studied the route very well, because I didn' t know Ibagué and I
- 1:04:03don' t see very, I don' t see, I don'
- 1:04:06t see, and I don' t like to wear the glasses, especially
- 1:04:10when I go running. Then I knew that I had to get to the
- 1:04:13roundabout and the only roundabout there is and turn, because that was something that
- 1:04:17happened to me in Cartagena, in Cartagena also in two thousand twenty, and
- 1:04:21well I don' t remember which one we went after two of the twenty
- 1:04:27- one and I was ten and I started to play pass. People,
- 1:04:29people, people, and that was out of control and I, because you
- 1:04:31were fucking nothing. So it was kind of complicated in that ten- k
- 1:04:35room I didn' t. But then in ibagu I was clear I said
- 1:04:40how people will have to pass. Maybe and they have to eat. On
- 1:04:44the other hand, I know I get to the roundabout and I don'
- 1:04:45t care. Indeed, when I see the bike of the ten who are
- 1:04:49still there, they are still lost and I am also talking if because I
- 1:04:55as far as I saw and that they were lost And I and I ay,
- 1:04:59I, I ab sob my fault and I studied the time I am
- 1:05:01no longer on TV in that circuit, the return in the directionin. Yeah,
- 1:05:03yeah, so I was coming down and I saw that it was like
- 1:05:10four who were going ahead going to a little stick, they kept going there
- 1:05:14and the two who were going ahead of me did turn and I also turned
- 1:05:20and I already got the third and that' s right, that' s
- 1:05:21right. I think it' s the third. And it was funny because
- 1:05:26the race was so fast. But then I didn' t think it was
- 1:05:30going to be because I was just literally dating it I saw all the tough
- 1:05:35guys I said no out there from the tenth that I mean, there'
- 1:05:41s no way, and I got third. It' s hard books you
- 1:05:44study. The circuit was there, because I can defend him I' ll
- 1:05:48go. I feel good. I think it came from an injury. I
- 1:05:53had a stress fracture. It was a complicated year last year, because in
- 1:05:58my personal and work life, and I think those burdens were very influential on
- 1:06:02my body. And I' m going to and I' ve been on
- 1:06:09trial for a couple of months and I feel good. I think better than
- 1:06:11before. I mean, I think I' m just like my high point,
- 1:06:15because I' m leaving, too, but I don' t know.
- 1:06:15Let' s see what I know depends but what you want, because
- 1:06:20you can. But what I' m telling you has never been my plan
- 1:06:24to go out and win, but to go out and be like better performance.
- 1:06:28Not good, and thank you so much for coming by for telling that
- 1:06:31story. We didn' t really know that I think it was worth a
- 1:06:35lot We knew ten percent of this entertaining story, even in the one about
- 1:06:40Salaro we mentioned. We hadn' t heard that much, but nothing.
- 1:06:43Thank you for coming and because late is if I' m the truth.
- 1:06:45I really know what you thought. I dedicate that you were one of the
- 1:06:50runners that had started with Magi. I was coming to me from young people,
- 1:06:55but when I gave myself only four years ago it really moved me a
- 1:07:00lot, if it can' t be because, well, obviously we won
- 1:07:03' t get to mail. That' s not how it was and I
- 1:07:05always told Dani that in a moment they can because you can and don'
- 1:07:13t stop dreaming. A little while ago he posted a post when Nike did
- 1:07:18as his invinci bl campaign and the campaign was invincible. I had an invincible
- 1:07:23dream when I was Nike' s runner, I didn' t run anything
- 1:07:29and my dreams always swear to him. It was always getting to be passer
- 1:07:32- by and I got it is just enjoying it. And it' s
- 1:07:38clear that you can really enjoy what you do. That' s good.
- 1:07:43There you have, because you always think how communicolás says good this bad spacer,
- 1:07:47because it started from a young age, has been running since ten years
- 1:07:53or it is the bear or the chacho. But see they can start and
- 1:07:56they can also achieve amazing things, like the two that we also started with
- 1:08:01that dream podcast. We have already grown a lot, not only in followers,
- 1:08:08because followers always come and go, but we have grown as runners,
- 1:08:11as people. We always nurture a lot of the stories that these men tell
- 1:08:16us, that motivate us a lot and that I know that you also motivate
- 1:08:19us. So, thank you, Nico, for this space, for telling
- 1:08:21us your life, for opening you up, because I know that one doesn
- 1:08:27' t open up like this all the time, and everyone doesn' t
- 1:08:30have to know the life of the world. But you come here, tell
- 1:08:31us your story, motives, people' s motives and thank you, thanks
- 1:08:35to us, thanks for inviting me and nothing. That' s always been
- 1:08:39like since I started out as being in Nike is contributing, because that'
- 1:08:44s what they did to me and what I want to do, like contribute
- 1:08:49to being a different person. They changed my idea and I want to change
- 1:08:54lives as well of how little it is perfect effect, Nico, thank you
- 1:08:58very much to all of us see you in a next chapter of cene rading or
