- 0:17we started this project, you clearly want it to go very well, but
- 0:22I didn' t really think we could get to fifty chapters. It'
- 0:25s hard to think about at first when you' re also learning from this
- 0:31whole world of communication. If we want to thank you for the support we
- 0:34have had from you. The YouTube channel is really getting better, the reproductions
- 0:39in Spotify and all right, we brought you some great guests. Today,
- 0:44as always, we also have some. But before that we want to do
- 0:48the wedge that we always do, and that is to invite them to the
- 0:52Half Marathon of Bogotá to write already our code, which was ronning from scratch,
- 0:56because it no longer exists. He expounded people who took advantage of it
- 0:58or who were a lot of people. You' re his son, thank
- 1:00you. We' re going to do a special event at the Half Marathon
- 1:03with those who signed up with our code. But there are no more codes.
- 1:07But if there are many tickets for you to go and buy, remember
- 1:11that the Half Marathon of Bogotá is July 28th, so we wait for you
- 1:14over there to sign up and then, well, now, yeah, there
- 1:18' s grain, yeah, well. Today we have a guest, a
- 1:19story that I know you' re going to like He' s called Andrés
- 1:23Felipe Bautista. How are you welcome? Hello. Thank you very much for
- 1:26the invitation. It is with pleasure to be here in this chair in chapter
- 1:33fifty and for it should be part of these initiatives of you who continue to
- 1:38massify the Runn and so on. Chévere is, let' s say nothing.
- 1:41I have a question. It is that I always have to run there
- 1:45on the track training hard until very recently we were told how that boy has
- 1:51a good story to tell and we were told several little things, but then
- 1:56we want, like interviewing you to be the one to tell us, not
- 2:00just us, not all the people who listen to us. But let'
- 2:02s start from the beginning. Yeah, well, I know that there are
- 2:06people in this environment who are already going to be your face and they'
- 2:08re going to meet you from one and a lot of people, lots of
- 2:13people who know you, but we tell you like the dynamics of podcast.
- 2:15The idea is that in this first part we only talk about you who you
- 2:20are, what you do, how old you are, what you studied,
- 2:23how was your first approach to sport. It may not be running, but
- 2:27tell us. Everything you better say ready perfect. Okay. I' m
- 2:30Felipe Bautista, sportsman and consummate lover. Since I' ve been using reason,
- 2:38I' ve always been passionate about sports. I didn' t start
- 2:40running. Let' s just say I found athletics. A little late I
- 2:44' m a sports manager at District University. I did not exercise let'
- 2:50s say directly on the subject of sport in let' s say on my
- 2:53day to day work, but because I went for others, on other roads
- 2:59that opened up to me during my life. Like every Colombian kid, I
- 3:01started playing football. Yeah, I mean, I' m from the generation
- 3:07that lasted hours and hours playing on the street nonstop and then I gave two
- 3:12next to everyone' s solo until the mom came in, exactly if my
- 3:15granny was already coming in, but I ran already after a long time of
- 3:20being on the street playing, so we were tireless players. I also had
- 3:24to say the first rapprochement with performance sports from childhood and pre- infant categories
- 3:30in football. So I moved away from a football school, playing around until
- 3:34I was fourteen years old in Bogotá League. There was a super- known
- 3:39and emblematic championship that is the chigiros courts. I don' t know if
- 3:43it still exists by the 26th and negative. So that was like my first
- 3:47approach, like with sport, let' s say it was very cool the
- 3:52theme of training every day. My mom always took us because we went with
- 3:54my brother, we were always at football school. But let' s just
- 3:59say I was just like the singers, like, eight years or so already
- 4:01in school. It was You don' t remember. If in the aqueduct
- 4:04football school of the aqueduct, then the Bogotá aqueduct company for the children of
- 4:11the workers had a number of benefits, among those this soccer school. Then,
- 4:15but a swim in a school very well recognized and very good the courts
- 4:17that they gave in Fontibon. And then let' s say it was always
- 4:21the training center and it was very cool, that' s the competitive theme
- 4:26and so on. That started out as the sports thing, but all my
- 4:30life I' ve played, I' ve biked. Well, I'
- 4:34m a little ahead of myself. I' m also jumping. Most of
- 4:36the athletes we' ve played in football have a common position. You were
- 4:42a gambler. If I' ve heard, if I' ve heard years
- 4:46and I think we' re all there that we run the most up and
- 4:48down. Then I started playing central defense, because I was like one of
- 4:53the gleamiest at the time for guys my age. Then I was central defense
- 4:58and then I went lateral, lateral, right offense or extreme, extreme,
- 5:03extreme steering wheel. So, let' s say that always, but I
- 5:06was always as in defense was very good also defending. So it was really
- 5:11cool there with let' s say that football theme and let' s say
- 5:15I pulled the juice out as far as I could and as far as I
- 5:19wanted to look at other things, I didn' t feel as good at
- 5:21the time. Plus, I had, like, asthma episodes, and in
- 5:27one game, it gave me a crisis. So I don' t know
- 5:29how I didn' t want to get away a little bit and let'
- 5:32s say look at other sports options. Fourteen years. I was fourteen,
- 5:34about what corso you were in pretty much at school. I was more or
- 5:39less in seventh eighth. Maybe and you start to look at that other options
- 5:44of exactly yes, that' s where I start to look like other options.
- 5:47Let' s just say I also studied at the aqueduct school for the
- 5:51workers. Then it was a school that had like a cool facilities, had
- 5:56tennis courts, microfootball court, basketball court, all in all, then it
- 6:00could practice different sports and all I practiced ping pong, field tennis. Anyway
- 6:03and then I ran into basketball and there, yeah, I started falling in
- 6:09love with the sport a lot more, I started playing basketball and I saw
- 6:14that I also had certain good qualities for basketball and there it lasts for the
- 6:20height. It was not so explosive that it was needed for basketball, for
- 6:24jumpability and for directional changes and so on. But he was very good,
- 6:28very good tripler played as a wingman. Then let' s say that it
- 6:33started as an episode of my life, very cool, because from the age
- 6:38of sixteen seventeen I entered the Bogotá basketball league. I was just like in
- 6:43school there. Let' s say so, in there, in the sports
- 6:46center of the Salitre, where it is there next to the track, let
- 6:50' s say that there was an old building, which was a court in
- 6:55let' s say wood, but it was very cool and the courts outside.
- 6:58Let' s just say that I started out like the sports thing,
- 7:00basketball, that I really got passionate and fell in love. I saw the
- 7:05NBA at that time, so the games of the stars and I dreamed of
- 7:10getting to the NBA. I also got into that field of basketball all of
- 7:15a sudden as in streetball and so on. Then he had a lot of
- 7:19black friends. Then I got into a lot like that hip hop listening topic,
- 7:24that dress and the floyd. I don' t know what. Then
- 7:29all my friends were black, black. Then, because I was always immersed
- 7:34in that culture, in that aesthetics I liked very much. And then I
- 7:39went on to pirates, pirates of Bogotá, which was like a quarry,
- 7:43like the lower ones. Let' s say it like that. Then he
- 7:46trained at the Palacio de los Deportes, my coach at that time, because
- 7:48he was José Tapias, who is one of Colombia' s best pirate coaches.
- 7:54Then he was the first of the person also with another, with another
- 7:58coach than what I am much about him, who is called William Quesada,
- 8:01who also had one more neighborhood club, and he was the first to start
- 8:05teaching me all the foundation, the technique and so on. And that'
- 8:11s how I got to Pirates. I' ve been so many designs when
- 8:13you get to Pirates. I was about seventeen years old or so seventeen years
- 8:18old The school was finished. Yeah, I was almost finished with school,
- 8:20like sixteen seventeen years or so. But Pirates is today a strong league team.
- 8:26Don' t be a basketball league player in Colombia, yes, yes,
- 8:31there is a basketball league. Let' s say it' s a
- 8:35league not as conventional as a league let' s say professional in other countries
- 8:39that there' s a long season, but it' s a mini league.
- 8:39Let' s say it like that, invitational. However, because Ahorita,
- 8:43there are many more teams that represent each department of Colombia and Pirates is
- 8:50one of the most outstanding teams of Colombian basketball, where they have played,
- 8:56since stars and great referents likeÁlvaro tirán, in short a lot of players
- 9:01that currently escape my names, but it is a great institution and also from
- 9:05there several good players, of course, well you arrive to Pirates and that
- 9:11there, that is to the unique or youthful category or something like that.
- 9:16That' s when I got there like the youth, like the minors,
- 9:20I got to the good one, yes, I already went there, there,
- 9:24I was there for a while, I played some games like League and
- 9:28so on and then I went to the university. And at the University,
- 9:30there was already like a lapse there, a lapse there as well as that
- 9:33I did not continue training so judicious and so on, but I resumed it
- 9:39again at the University and there also I got very hooked and continued falling in
- 9:45love with basketball and I reached to participate also in several championships of ascun of
- 9:48hills the Distrital University, because it was not that I had like the best
- 9:54players because we were not so tall, we did not have like as much
- 9:56strength. But we were always in the finals with the same universities, the
- 9:58jave, the Andes maybe and the COON, because the Cradle at that time
- 10:07brought players from San Andrés and put them to study for free to win all
- 10:13classes. So, let' s say that I played several games, several
- 10:18ascuni championships and so on with the university, but it always came to the
- 10:20final that I lost, no, no, once we were champions once,
- 10:26but we always got to the finals. But, no one suddenly said no
- 10:28these peeled all skinny little ones. But let' s say we put our
- 10:33heart in it, we put our claws in it, and that' s
- 10:37what characterized us. Let' s just say that standing out in sports,
- 10:39in college I was helping you with a scholarship or something. No, well,
- 10:43let' s just say that at the time I didn' t have
- 10:46a scholarship because, because I' m really in district college, paying a
- 10:50sum of money, because it joins a very little public university. Then,
- 10:52because it was more, as I saw it, more like an exit to
- 10:58the theme of the day of studying and so on, and that I was
- 11:03always linked to the sport all my life. So, I always wanted to
- 11:07be involved in something was very competitive. And so there in basketball, I
- 11:11found, found and trained every day to train the pred at the headquarters of
- 11:18technology in the south, which is where the sports center of the district is.
- 11:20So, then, it was a beautiful, beautiful experience. Why,
- 11:26why do you decide to study sports administration. That' s precisely why I
- 11:31said I had as a lapsus there too that I didn' t know what
- 11:33to study. He wanted to study cadastral engineering or engineering. I tried to
- 11:37get into the national, but I didn' t make it. All my
- 11:39families from the national, at least me. Then it was like that theme
- 11:43there. But I wanted to study sports management, precisely because of that taste
- 11:50for sport, and it' s not necessarily a sport training topic, but
- 11:54it' s a little more macro vision of what sport is, how to
- 12:01be able to implement new things in sport, innovation and so on. So,
- 12:03so let' s say I was very struck by the issue of sports
- 12:09administration. What happened to asthma in basketball, that is, you already told
- 12:13us that playing football, I gave you an episode playing these also ever gave
- 12:18you never let' s say the asthma issue, but they treated you.
- 12:24Or yes, when I was young at that time, when I was in
- 12:28childhood, I was under twelve, maybe thirteen years old, because let'
- 12:33s say I started with an inhaler treatment and well, a series of medications.
- 12:37They did some allergy tests on me, well, a lot of things
- 12:43they did to me back then. But later on let' s not say
- 12:48I had no major problem with the respiratory issue. And let' s just
- 12:52say that was like the sports thing. And then I find athletics. But
- 12:58I think I also skipped a piece, a piece because in the year two
- 13:03thousand, which was the first, the first edition of the Half Marathon of
- 13:07Bogotá, invited us from school and that was my first career. But since
- 13:11I' d never played basketball before, I played basketball. And how did
- 13:16they invite us, that is, like who wants to run? Yeah,
- 13:18like who wants to run? And so you' re going to earn a
- 13:22note at the physical station and ta, ta, ta, and I,
- 13:24well, from one let' s register if I was about fifteen, maybe
- 13:28fourteen fifteen years old, I ran ten k scarce. At that time he
- 13:33left from the Plaza Center, from Plaza Bolívar or already throughout the Seventh.
- 13:37It was a little disorganized, but it was the first version. However,
- 13:41very good international athletes came. The first one he won was a Mexican.
- 13:46If I am not bad and in that edition I participated, then I returned
- 13:50a little bit in the story. That was my first approach to athletics,
- 13:54with the Ronin. But before you tell us, it' s how you
- 13:58got into athletics. If I' d like to know how you fall in
- 14:03love with basketball, because you already told us how that process went to quit
- 14:09football and migrate this to them how you stop wanting it good. After being
- 14:13like on a good level and that I felt that I played well and that
- 14:16I had good jumpability at that time I almost got to nail the ball,
- 14:22that is, I played well, it was good, but they started to
- 14:30emerge as episodes of frustration also in certain games, that I couldn' t
- 14:35be well, like I couldn' t focus on the trainings very well.
- 14:39You know then and when you don' t get to the competition, like
- 14:41something happens sometimes and you don' t get the goal, yeah, then
- 14:46I started as a series of frustrations there, like little ones, like I
- 14:50didn' t feel very good. Let' s say it' s also
- 14:54a team, a team sport, then it' s suddenly not entirely dependent
- 15:01on you. So, I kind of started to get a little bit away
- 15:05from it, I saw it as more of a hobby and I' m
- 15:09going to play the park for a while and park for a while. I
- 15:09don' t know what, but let' s not say I started out
- 15:16like a little bit of that,' cause I had like episodes of like,
- 15:20uh, I don' t get it. I' m not going
- 15:20to try anything else, another topic, and there, at that moment I
- 15:24also started to see that I ran quite a lot and whenever they did all
- 15:31the test topics and so on on the basketball court, because I was always
- 15:35the first running. So let' s say that that' s like I
- 15:41said, I can' t run for running that he noticed or not,
- 15:45I was the one I noticed and already in the last years of the University
- 15:50came to athletics, but then I returned a little bit to the first episode,
- 15:54which was the first half marathon in Bogotá. At that time, as
- 15:58I felt very good around here I was doing about forty forty, forty-
- 16:03one in ten Ka, at fifteen years old and at fifteen years old and
- 16:07I never trained I mean, I never ran like a specific training plan to
- 16:11run, but if I was very active, I played loncesto and moa bas
- 16:15but it' s a time that happened to make the first race. Then
- 16:19fifteen years. Not that things that things, you remember so much of that,
- 16:23of that first ten k I remember very much that I felt strange,
- 16:30because like with so many people, that it was a brutal subject of people
- 16:34and pass and pass people because you go like dodging people, because you leave
- 16:38one behind among the whole crowd. Of course, it was my turn to
- 16:45climb up to him and run so I wouldn' t crash with people.
- 16:48And I remember a lot about the seventh, which was kind of classic at
- 16:51the time, and then I think I was going down 26th. If I
- 16:53' m not bad, I got dead, but I felt good. Yeah,
- 16:57that' s like, and I think I ran in clothes, so
- 17:03let' s just say nothing to do with basketball or I' m a
- 17:08batalonet, yeah, yeah with the jordan and the pants under the knee.
- 17:12Not then, yes, it was pretty cool, but that' s what
- 17:18I remember. I don' t remember right now very well. But it
- 17:22has some position that you say how uy I don' t know of my
- 17:29top category Dies slide, because forty- one minutes is very good weather.
- 17:33I really don' t know at the time that it was so. I
- 17:36think they didn' t qualify at the time because before they didn' t
- 17:41and they gave us a diploma in physics, a diploma as well as that
- 17:44they wrote it by hand. I mean, it was super super archaic.
- 17:48They didn' t give a little medal, yes, but no more.
- 17:52It wasn' t like all that electronic stuff. There was no chip,
- 17:53yes, no, I don' t think, I mean, there wasn
- 17:57' t like I' m going to look or what I was left with
- 18:00then my splits or something. No, yesterday, at that moment I told
- 18:03him. No, no, no, no rometer at the end, I
- 18:07create sensations at that moment. Yeah, never, never, I mean,
- 18:11you ran and you felt good, and you never thought about basketball for athletics.
- 18:15At that moment, at that moment some teacher didn' t tell you
- 18:19how it went. Because, because you were on the side of the College
- 18:23no teacher told you how it went or something. If there' s my
- 18:26teacher, she was a woman, the teacher of physical education at school,
- 18:30and she always had me in mind for that very reason. I believe that
- 18:33in that same year there was also an award by the athlete of the Year
- 18:37of the College and I earned it because they competed everything and won everything at
- 18:41some point in school. He also competed in inter- school skating, racing
- 18:45except was. It happened with my brother, it was this what it'
- 18:48s called the track, it was racing and it was also there at the
- 18:52PRD on a track that at school was screaming something. I did, yes,
- 18:56and then I bought some skates that at the time you started the theme
- 18:59of roller and ska ah yes, yes, and I also did extreme skating
- 19:03time. So, the tubes and the andemia. There is one more,
- 19:11a skate park that remained in the first of May with Boyacá, very classic.
- 19:14Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember, yeah, yeah, I
- 19:15remember. And there, there, we practiced, there, we practiced a
- 19:19lot, or we went to the National Park. Well, anyway, there,
- 19:22but it was a lapse of like a year out there, a year
- 19:26of Furor, just like for musical painting and your classmates, like they fit
- 19:30well with that roller culture and that sheath. No yes, yes, we
- 19:34were exactly like that urban theme. We also didn' t really like going
- 19:41out, skating on the street, jumping the platforms, going through the cars
- 19:45and it was very much like very used and very relaxed on that subject of
- 19:49lime you say you run. The first memoraton was in the year two thousand.
- 19:53Year two thousand was the first edition of the half Marathon of Bogotá and
- 19:56you on Instagram have published a photo of two thousand four where you see go
- 20:02and Mauricio González. Yeah, that year you start running two thousand four,
- 20:07yeah, about two thousand four, two thousand five, if I' m
- 20:10not bad, but if I remember a lot I went with them. We
- 20:17were going to train and we always came running, always eagerly. We were
- 20:21a little late sometimes to the races as well, but before we got there,
- 20:26yes, as they saw, the majij' s races arrived cake if
- 20:30we were a little bit and now also of that socialized as how you enter
- 20:37the athletics finally and you start to know, how you run tired to feel
- 20:41and say as if suddenly to run mine yes, yes, yes, yes,
- 20:44yes, you go to run a ten k to train or as it
- 20:47is not. So, at that point, well, it was the college
- 20:48lapse that let' s say that I started to kind of get away from
- 20:55basketball and I started to see that I was running well, that I had
- 21:00a good lung tank and always in all the tests I won or arrived first
- 21:02good. Anyway, one day I went to find out at the University Welfare
- 21:07Office. I wasn' t as consolidated to this office at the time.
- 21:11Then it was more like paper. And I ask you, I want to
- 21:15train athletics with the university. No yes, look how the teacher is such,
- 21:19go the league to the track of athletics and there ask for such a
- 21:22person who was the coach at that time and smart go, but as very
- 21:30go and look how I go the track, Mrs a very bad friend going
- 21:36to resale at that time was the coach of the athletics team, it was
- 21:41Felix Marrugo. So Felix tells me he got on the track and introduces me
- 21:45to Mauricio, to Mauricio Ladino. Then there I came also with my long
- 21:49pant Miss Jordan, and of a Mauro, for it scans me from top
- 21:55to bottom and like that I am not in a fight, like not what
- 22:00to do is yes, that tell me these are then Mauro always, because
- 22:08he used to do a test, a test of one because he was always
- 22:14with therefore with the bare elite that were all winners, South American champions,
- 22:18junior Central Americans. Well, anyway, I had a litter of very good,
- 22:22very talented athletes. So I got there and well, I got tested
- 22:26like a thousand test that I did with that outfit like I didn' t.
- 22:30And Mauro always tells that story, too, like not. This man
- 22:33came with those Telis and he' s going to run and with that pantalone.
- 22:37But I did the test. It went well. Then there as far
- 22:41as the kilometer, I think I did it in about three thirty something like
- 22:44that, three hundred thirty five, the kilometer on the track, the thousand
- 22:48and with that dress. So, then, you kind of forgot your dress
- 22:52position, yeah, you were in, come on, yeah, so that
- 22:59was like the beginning, the beginning of the whole athletics thing, as one
- 23:03of being in with a coach. Let' s just say it wasn'
- 23:10t as marked at the time. Those groups, like now, that there
- 23:14are amateur groups, there are groups like elite or semi- elite or that
- 23:18are more or less performance. So, because I was always with them because
- 23:22there was no more, I mean, I always trained with the elites who
- 23:26were the peeled ones at that time, which were what there was, what
- 23:30you had stuck to them, let' s say that at that time,
- 23:36like we also handled the training loads more to sensations, and I also remember
- 23:41that we measured with them all the Google Maps tours, that is, it
- 23:45was crazy, we measured and looked at come methamons because, because we didn
- 23:48' t have a watch at that time, it was with the normal casio
- 23:55and at that time also because we didn' t have as marked as those
- 24:00training zones as now, like I always went to top every day with them
- 24:03and then let' s say that they were sweeping it, because it wasn
- 24:03' t of that level either. Sure, yeah, but it kept me
- 24:06there. There, I was always with them and from there it started,
- 24:10like the whole subject of athletics. I ran a first race in the year
- 24:12two thousand and seven. If I' m not bad with Nike that at
- 24:15the time the shirts came with the number, the number printed on the top
- 24:22covered yes and they gave us a chip that put the laces on the shoe
- 24:26I don' t know if it was reaching some. I ran a career
- 24:29promotion to Colpatria and the chip was given to one in the kit and played
- 24:32March shoes and after handing it over. That wasn' t disposable. You
- 24:37kept that ea, because it was net shit of old folks. Yeah,
- 24:45yeah, yeah. So, that' s when it started out like the
- 24:49whole thing, and I ran several Nike races from then on there was also
- 24:53a very good race that was for eighty- five, that was polar many
- 25:00races there, but that was ten ko that if it was always ten K,
- 25:03it was always ten every ten K. When you enter there to enter
- 25:06with Mauricio Juice as what is the goal, that is to go to nationals
- 25:10or that only improve your performance, because at that time I had not as
- 25:15much notion. However, because I was late for athletics, as I tell
- 25:18you, it was like after basketball, as I don' t know when
- 25:22I arrived I would be twenty- one, twenty- two years old,
- 25:26maybe I don' t know, and the guys, I mean, the
- 25:30lot of guys who were there at the time were much younger than me and
- 25:30they ran much harder. Of course, then, at that moment I came
- 25:36simply for how to measure myself and improve. I didn' t have like
- 25:41that notion of I' m going to represent or I' m going to
- 25:44go to some national. Pray anyway, just as for how to improve.
- 25:48The truth. Just, Mauricio didn' t have you project, projection for
- 25:53something or suddenly for some or just times of street racing, or that if
- 25:57more than anything, in street racing. However, because we did several tests
- 26:00of three thousand, I participated in several five thousand thousand five hundred, especially
- 26:07at that time too, for we ran one thousand five hundred. But I
- 26:10wasn' t as good, I wasn' t as fast as they were.
- 26:14So let' s say I was doing better in the tests a little
- 26:18longer or a thousand or ten zero. And so let' s say that
- 26:22I started to fuck, I started to try the six Pikes on the old
- 26:27track of the Salitre, which was the red track, Red, the red
- 26:32one at the time, because let' s say we watched a lot of
- 26:37YouTube, a lot of documentaries. Then I was the one who sometimes translated
- 26:38them. Then we always saw from Hale, from Hebracela, from Hale,
- 26:45from Kenenisabe Kele, from Steve Prefuntine. So, like we always looked at
- 26:52that and we felt like we were quite motivated, we started to do what
- 26:56they did too, to go to the sauna, to go like that,
- 27:02to complement the workouts of the recovery theme and so on. If you haven
- 27:06' t told yourself that, you' d get fed up with YouTube,
- 27:08if you looked at YouTube art, you' d get fed up with YouTube.
- 27:11Let' s say when you' re, when you' re training
- 27:17a basketball team, because as a whole sport, there' s a lot
- 27:19of bonding between peers, and that changes when you go into an individual sport
- 27:26and you know that at the time of the game, because bye- bye,
- 27:32that' s what changes. There and also there to complement that question,
- 27:34there I work as a team. That' s because, of course,
- 27:38there' s something that' s very common in people who suddenly get
- 27:42into you that' s what you said on the basketball issue. Let'
- 27:45s say me, when I played football, I said I could be good.
- 27:48But if the defense or the archer turns out to be an egg,
- 27:52it' s a hole, because that' s where balls come in and
- 27:56you kill yourself to make a goal and the other person. No, then
- 27:59you say you went into athletics that you are individual. If it' s
- 28:03true that myth that athletics is individual. That is to complement the question,
- 28:06it is perfect, because at that moment the topic of teamwork was very marked,
- 28:12because, because it came from a sport of whole. However, when
- 28:18he reached the team at that time there was not even the Endurance Hronners club.
- 28:23It was later. It was like getting around at that time, everything
- 28:29was like an idea, but it was always the idea of endorance. So
- 28:36there I kind of changed my chip a little bit, because really, when
- 28:38what you say is not on the starting line, it' s already up
- 28:41to you, what you see and smart is you against time, against whatever
- 28:47you want, against your demons or what you want to do in the race.
- 28:53However, let' s say that in athletics I also realized that there
- 28:59is also a very chevere team job, because, for example, I entered
- 29:02this team, I had the privilege of being with these great athletes and that
- 29:06motivated me a lot and I also improved a lot as well. That is,
- 29:11when you go bottomless, it' s very different to do it in
- 29:17the lot to do it alone. Yes, then sometimes, like you'
- 29:19re just smart, you do it, but the perception of effort and so
- 29:26on, when you go in a batch in a group, because it'
- 29:30s different, so there too the theme of teamwork is cool, because you
- 29:33can also pull or you can be sheltered in the lot. Well, anyway,
- 29:38let' s just say that and also with them, even though they
- 29:44were very hard- headed, they were also very humble, very simple.
- 29:47So, also I kind of got an acceptance from that group and we were
- 29:52always say up and down training. Then I remember that we were always going
- 29:56to Florida or there in the Bolivar Singon, or we were going on some
- 30:02super- chevere tours, to the Alberjón mountains, some iconic tours on the
- 30:08Green Cross moor, which is for the 20th of July up by San Blas,
- 30:12which is a super good mountain tour. I also don' t know
- 30:15if they' re still doing it right now, or I think it'
- 30:18s very dangerous. His name is Cruz Verde, it' s not a
- 30:22super good mountain and there we always found a little lake and there we did
- 30:26our cold therapy. Also up there with them, then they are a few
- 30:30tours, well féveres in the city of Bolívar. Also sometimes I went alone,
- 30:33I mean, nothing ever happened to me and I was going to Bolivar
- 30:36by going up the Candelaria, I was going to Sierra Morena, or I
- 30:40was going for a ride that we called the devil back, a tour of
- 30:42Ciudad Bolívar. And that' s also done a lot by athletes who train
- 30:45in the tunal. We always train in those mountains of Ciudad Bolívar. So,
- 30:52let' s just say it was always like a teamwork and one was
- 30:56a brotherhood there with them. It was so cool. It was so cool.
- 31:00Let' s always say that Ivan and Mauricio were always there as references
- 31:06and he was too much to clarify. Let' s say that when you
- 31:10say they were just Ivan in Mauritius or there was some elite athlete in Durenz
- 31:14or Well, as you say Duras didn' t exist, but with Mauricio
- 31:18Laden or they were the two pearls, because of the crown of Mauritius.
- 31:22Yeah, well, it was always the two of them who were like the
- 31:26most stubborn, but at the time there was a litter of very talented athletes
- 31:32that let' s say he suddenly left on the way. But there were
- 31:36about six and seven very good athletes, all with South American junior champion records
- 31:41that went to different events. Let' s say that, to mention some,
- 31:49there was Alejandro Beltrán, Pedro Rodríguez, Diego Moreno who was also very
- 31:53hard at the time. At that time Gerard was a meristan and it was
- 31:59that Herando was in that group s e camilo, lancheros, chaos plancheros.
- 32:05We were also a well, well, well nourished group, but they were
- 32:09the elites. I was there like him as the new one and the colado,
- 32:13because there wasn' t like that distinction, as I told you before,
- 32:17that we had an amateur group and the elites, but it was what
- 32:21it was and you trained and with them it was good. Chévereo what is
- 32:24the point, the highest peak that you arrive, that is your prime training
- 32:30with them, that is to say I reached my highest point in this competition,
- 32:34at this level in these perfect times, more or less, in the
- 32:37year two thousand eleven, two thousand ten, two thousand eleven, like I
- 32:40saw that it was my peak, I ran several races that had in the
- 32:45body Tech circuit, several I won them one in Villavicencia or I won a
- 32:50n and vague. Those were that two dry, were ten k of ten
- 32:52twelve cas, but let' s say they always run here in average height.
- 32:57I felt like a tough guy, obviously, because you' re going
- 33:00to the sea and you' re doing a lot like that, a lot
- 33:02more, but I was doing really well in the heat. Let' s
- 33:05say I didn' t have so many prr nor records, nor marks here,
- 33:09in Bogotá or at height not then, at that time, more or
- 33:13less. In the year two thousand, two thousand ten, two thousand eleven
- 33:15I make my best ten k mark in Villavicencio, which was thirty- one
- 33:20forty- three, if not more, more or less, and at that
- 33:22time than third, third third with that mark. And always, then,
- 33:29let' s say that Villa Vicencia had a nerve point, because we were
- 33:32always going to make several preparations, preparations there always accompanied, because always accompanied
- 33:37them. I was driving my car. It was the only thing that had
- 33:39a car back then. So, let' s say everyone in my car
- 33:43up to this Vicencio Village, we go there our preparation and it was very
- 33:46chevere. And then I traveled in the two thousand eleven to the Half Marathon
- 33:52of Buenos Aires and there I ran my best half marathon in that year.
- 33:57Later I never again played like that time I did at that time, which
- 34:00was a zero hour nine, something almost hours, a zero nine more or
- 34:05less brutal. Yes, yes, yes, brutal and there in Argentina it
- 34:08runs. That was yes, of course, in Buenos Aires he runs,
- 34:13he runs the chevere le. I have two questions. Let' s just
- 34:15say a question that comes up to me, too, I don' t
- 34:20know if all the clubs happen and it always happened to you as a training
- 34:23group. He has like his good people, his elite and then they'
- 34:29re, like you said, right now to his semi elite or performance and
- 34:32then they' re like amateurs. Well, in your case there were no
- 34:35amateurs, but there were very aite people. Suddenly you felt like the attention
- 34:40was going a little bit closer to them. You never felt it or rather,
- 34:45because Mauricio was paying attention to everyone equally or how it was, because
- 34:50it strikes me from training with elites, because, because elites, if they
- 34:52have nationals, are looking for Olympics and all that kind of stuff, they
- 34:58suddenly need a little more attention. Yes, yes, yes, let'
- 35:01s say that you are right and you live now also clearly, because the
- 35:08coaches and at that moment, because always all the attention was with them.
- 35:13But at the time I didn' t see it as bad. I just
- 35:15felt. Yeah, let' s just say it felt good to be part
- 35:20of that club, and let' s just say, in a way,
- 35:27I was getting close to them. Then that clearly motivated me, for I
- 35:30never managed to take the hard step as they always did. But yes,
- 35:35it was close then it was like that motivation. Well, I' m
- 35:38training with the best in Bogotá and maybe at some point I can be like
- 35:44them. Yes, well, clearly keeping those as proportions, because we all
- 35:50know that we have a talent or we don' t have it, or
- 35:54we have to exploit it with work. You can get a lot of things,
- 35:59but at that moment I felt already, I didn' t feel relegated.
- 36:01However, all of them did have as the endorsements of the brands at
- 36:06that time, as the boom of the track of the RUNG began. Then
- 36:08they started adding many brands, many sponsors who gave us things, the first
- 36:15Garmin watches. There was a team with them and they gave us the first
- 36:21Garming watches that arrived. So it was like, well, what the hell
- 36:25is this? Or when we were also part of how to pass the different
- 36:30races, they gave us certain incentives Well, now there were several things that
- 36:36yes, I could have them. But then, clearly they were like those
- 36:39who had, like those higher standards, also performance, because they went to
- 36:44nationals, to South Americans. Well and so on, then they were always
- 36:50there as with that greater attention. Clearly, what happens after that one hour
- 36:55nine in Buenos Aires, Well there, and also because I was already working.
- 37:02Yeah, I also started working then and I started having a lot of
- 37:07injuries after that hour zero nine, so I started to how to lower performance,
- 37:12I started as well to get a little away from training. Well,
- 37:15that' s where a lot of things came up. Then I was training
- 37:20and working. Then it was complex. Yeah, not anymore? Yeah?
- 37:23Yeah? Don' t you? Don' t you? Didn' t
- 37:24it hit? Didn' t it hit? He gave no more, because
- 37:28elite people or athletes are dedicated to his sport. A hundred percent train,
- 37:32coven and were ton change, when I was finished and they were finished training,
- 37:37I don' t know what. That' s where I had to
- 37:39run off to work. Of course, well, let' s just say
- 37:43that at the time it was like a shift job. Then I was training,
- 37:45I was working in the afternoon. So, let' s just say
- 37:50it was a little bit complex. But after that hour doing one of them
- 37:52kept on and training, training, I started to like winning little wagons.
- 37:57Let' s say the ten ko, let' s say I' ve
- 38:01run all the races in Colombia. I think yes, always, because I
- 38:06was sometimes on the podium, more times not, because there was also a
- 38:08lot of level, a lot of level and people who, because really lived
- 38:14from this then. But there I kept, there I kept, as until
- 38:16the year two thousand seventeen, two thousand eighteen that there is also like that
- 38:21there is a break and I let train and I move away from all this
- 38:25yes to go that team from Honduras. Plus, we know there' s
- 38:29a time in your life, that course that you didn' t do anymore,
- 38:35you disappeared out of the way, you didn' t run again.
- 38:37Well, I guess so, some little trots, some leashes. What happened
- 38:42to your life at the time, what you did or Bride out there,
- 38:45son, I don' t know what. Yes, I did not see
- 38:50there Bride, and then let' s say that I went elsewhere, I
- 38:52went on the artistic side, like other themes and I left aside, like
- 38:59I got tired, like I didn' t find him anymore, like that
- 39:05taste that I had at the beginning, like thanks, as if, I
- 39:07don' t want to know more about athletics, if there was a moment
- 39:12of breakup and that one too, because it gets tired like everything already clear
- 39:15is that all life doing sport and since one tires the most accurate. So
- 39:21already at that moment, I kind of walked away and walked away, totally,
- 39:25I mean, I stopped saying I was in that middle. Yeah,
- 39:30like you say, let' s say he was jogging to keep me up
- 39:35sometimes. Then it took about three years, maybe quite, quite a while,
- 39:40as if I stopped having injuries too. I started to say the knee
- 39:45injury the achille tendon. Well, I started to get a lot of trouble.
- 39:52And also, because I didn' t feel good at that moment that
- 39:55makes a runner when he' s no longer a runner or strange. They
- 40:00call you friends, they write you friends to stand up. We' re
- 40:02going to run or we' re going to go to the side that makes
- 40:07one at that moment, like no one called me yes, it' s
- 40:15that luck of lies, but it does feel like you already feel one,
- 40:22like at some point. Yeah, I want to go back. I want
- 40:22to go back, I want to go back and I want to try again.
- 40:25Why not if at some point I was so in love with this,
- 40:30because I didn' t try. Yeah, but that kind of thing leaves
- 40:34empty in one that one, replaces them fills them with another. Vaina you
- 40:37say right now that art or something artistic, to you what you filled with
- 40:43that void that stops running what you were up early. No, and that
- 40:49' s where I started to get more into the events, into artistic events,
- 40:52to exercise a little what you studied. No, let' s not
- 40:57say I' ve never really exercised it. Let' s just say I
- 41:01' ve always been working. I work to make up for it. Okay
- 41:05yeah, all my working life I' ve been making up for several,
- 41:09various roles and positions and so on, I started as an assistant and I
- 41:15was on the sports arenas and so on, last year, I was in
- 41:21digital transformation projects. That' s nothing to do with sport. But there
- 41:24I learned a lot of things about this whole digital transformation issue and how to
- 41:29care for people in a better and more effective way then all the modules that
- 41:36are in the headquarters, like machines and so on. I was behind those
- 41:42projects like that digital transformation of modules, and since I didn' t attend
- 41:45to it in a person, but self- management, but you were passionate
- 41:46about that. Yeah, well, I liked it a lot, I liked
- 41:51it a lot, but I was there like a lapse of time in those
- 41:53projects and so on. But returning to me, let' s say I
- 41:58filled it with that as I also started as more of the rumba theme and
- 42:02so on, as to fill that void with other things with concerts. I
- 42:06spent it on concert, there was a cultural event, I spent it traveling
- 42:09a lot. In fact, I traveled to America to make my best five
- 42:16thousand mark. Also ask at the University of San Diego, California. There
- 42:22too. But that was before I left him. Yeah, that was before,
- 42:23that was before I left him. That' s a hell of a
- 42:27time I wanted. Fifteen zero zero? Fifteen zero zero? And there'
- 42:30s also a good, very curious story, because it was my first time
- 42:34in America. I didn' t know much. I traveled with my ex
- 42:37- girlfriend. So, it' s a big support and but let'
- 42:43s just say I didn' t have as the notion of distance and the
- 42:46University of San Diego was very far away where we were in Los Angeles.
- 42:50I was in Big Berlake, which was where they were preparing for the big
- 42:55events and Ivan and Mauritius and driving from Los Angeles to San Diego, which
- 43:01means driving about five hours almost didn' t make it to the race,
- 43:06that is, I had to get my car down and without heating and make
- 43:08it five thousand. I mean, suddenly that' s the key. Yeah,
- 43:13I think then that went well, well, well tenacious because, well,
- 43:19I took the car and I think I had a GPS, but I
- 43:21wasn' t set up, but to go down streets, not on the
- 43:28highway, well, but in between, I mean, and I died a
- 43:30lot to get there. Then I came and ran the five thousand. I
- 43:37ran five grand. And that was my best mark at the time, the
- 43:40best five thousand. And let' s just say I never ran again I
- 43:45never came near again. I think about five years ago when I was training
- 43:49alone because I started also after that lapse that I left the club and did
- 43:52not retrain with the team and so on, I started training sun, trained
- 43:57alone. Then it was like that same, the same planning we' ve
- 44:02always had. The same, then repeated it, repeated it, then on
- 44:07Wednesdays and Sundays, the background made the strength of Thursday, made the repetitions
- 44:09or the intervals on Tuesday. Yeah, I mean, I kind of already
- 44:15had that one and I kept doing it. Then self- taught let'
- 44:20s say it like that and I trained alone And I liked to train alone,
- 44:24like already after having that group and that team and always being accompanied,
- 44:30because I always wanted to be training with someone, I didn' t like
- 44:32to train alone, I mean, no, no, I wasn' t
- 44:37and then I was like three years training totally alone. You know I was
- 44:39just going on the cycleway or going on the routes I knew only then,
- 44:45so let' s just say, well, there, I don' t
- 44:49know. That' s where they put us together that you get hurt,
- 44:52you get back from an injury, and they get cheap from one or the
- 44:54way it is. Yes, yes, yes, as that story is exactly
- 44:58when I was training alone, I was training for the half Marathon of Barranquilla,
- 45:06that in that year I won it the open category, mine Marathon of
- 45:09Barranquilla in the year two thousand eighteen, two thousand nineteen. Maybe I went
- 45:13twice to the Barranquilla Half Marathon in the open category, once I second you
- 45:17and the other I won in that category. And I think I did about
- 45:22time thirteen, time fourteen, because the moisturizer. This one I didn'
- 45:23t make like thirteen, I think, and at that moment I was kind
- 45:30of wanting to start making those long distances. So I was getting a lot
- 45:34of bottom, a lot of volume, and I hurt myself doing a few
- 45:38intervals in Cali and the highway, which means I got out that maybe not
- 45:43because of the load or I don' t know, I was already doing
- 45:44too many miles. Then he injured me, I had a tear of the
- 45:46achille tendon. So there I did stop, I had to stop, I
- 45:54stopped about eight months or so or so, and also since it was boring
- 46:00and I don' t want to know any more about athletics, and yes
- 46:04I kind of had that one under that moment with the injury, already when
- 46:07I was recovering, I started like mutating bikes, I already started as I
- 46:10learned to take the taste to the BICI and so on. But that was
- 46:15like that tipping point, too, of like, oh, I don'
- 46:21t want any more athletics. Yes, and there is unemployment, there is
- 46:25unemployment and say two thousand nineteen, about two thousand nineteen, two thousand twenty
- 46:30before the pandemic. Maybe, yes and I stop, and then it comes
- 46:34to the pandemic. And then, worse, I totally stop. But why
- 46:40do you decide to go back specifically to that marathon, that is, go
- 46:49back up to marathon proof and the time you put in there in your debut.
- 46:52Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally, and let' s just say
- 46:58it was like we had a lot of respect for him at that distance.
- 47:00If that, that' s a key question, and it' s because
- 47:04the matter and the and the fly that my elite, if they' re
- 47:08redeeming, not that it' s one, when they enter amateur already the
- 47:13next year they want to do marathon or the same year or they don'
- 47:16t say I' m already ready, but Juan, but she doesn'
- 47:16t look at them. That' s like a non- cheap torn.
- 47:21Why they have so much respect for him at that distance. If you run
- 47:24four hundred kilometers a month exactly five hundred, yes, I don' t
- 47:30know, but forever we, for let' s say we had him as
- 47:35respects from a distance and always tell us no. No, no, don
- 47:35' t run marathon yet, don' t run half marathons yet. Run
- 47:38ten K. Run, because sometimes we ran the fifteen K. But it
- 47:44was always that respect, because, because it is a very hard test and
- 47:47you have to have a whole preparation of years, just as we had it,
- 47:53as I had it for many years, more than fifteen years, because
- 47:55to debut it was a marathon. And what you say now people, because
- 47:58of the racing boom and all this running stuff. They already want to skip
- 48:06those steps that need to be followed so that your body responds in the best
- 48:09way, because clearly yes, we can all run a marathon and finish it
- 48:15in whatever time it is, but the idea is to do it right and
- 48:19make a good process and not that you are super abused or why you are
- 48:24not conditioned, because you are what has happened lately in events that there are
- 48:30people who die by x and emotional because they are not prepared. Yes,
- 48:31then it is as well a little awareness, because, because the marathon is
- 48:37a very, very strong competition that we all know is ten or twelve or
- 48:43sixteen weeks of preparation where you take the body to the limit and the day
- 48:46of the race much more. I mean, the body is totally decompensated,
- 48:52destroyed that you may not perceive it, but the body charges you. So
- 49:00that respect like that distance. And clearly, the elite, because they do.
- 49:06I mean, let' s just say like it' s anything,
- 49:09I mean, papitas pitas para lor, or whatever. But for us amateurs
- 49:14or semi- els and amateurs, let' s say it' s more
- 49:16complex, because we did a lot of things. Also then it' s
- 49:21also like a like a double happiness when you get it, like you push,
- 49:29I' m working, I take time out of training and I'
- 49:32m still there, I' m still there. So that' s it,
- 49:35but yeah, it' s very important that people don' t kind
- 49:38of skip those, those like that. Yes, I mean, it'
- 49:43s not like it' s fifteen years, either, but yes, at
- 49:45least the ten- year- old sings, yes, yes. Yes,
- 49:49understand that understanding what the marathon is, because if it' s not going
- 49:52to end it in six, seven hours or eight hours, but doing it
- 49:57right. Yeah, what it' s like to travel with Erythic people because
- 50:00you saw Seville. Yes, with all the big patch of Bogotá and Colombian
- 50:06even with the Chilean. No, I don' t. Yes, well,
- 50:08let' s say that the Chilean and the others and they were there
- 50:14because they were elite, because they do go many days before making their preparation,
- 50:19because here they demand adaptation. The whole schedule thing that hits really hard.
- 50:25Let' s just say I didn' t leave the country for a
- 50:29run many years ago. Then it was a super good motivation and we went
- 50:31with this group of athletes and it was very, very enriching, because,
- 50:37well, friends, has a lot of time. No yes, yes,
- 50:38for let' s say that with some of them I met recently, about
- 50:44a year or two years ago, maybe, but it' s like we
- 50:46met for years and then there was like a camaraderie and we also prepared the
- 50:52marathon, which you say you have the privilege of running with the Chileans.
- 50:55And so, clearly they were going at another pace. But then, being
- 50:59there with him on the lot, because we always did like those funds,
- 51:04we always made them together at an average of four or three hundred fifty.
- 51:07When we made those funds for sopoo on different routes, then it was an
- 51:14extra motivation to travel with them was very, very, cool, very enriching,
- 51:20because we were all hosted in the same department, the same Irbnb.
- 51:27Then we pretended that one does not feel so alone when one travels. When
- 51:31I traveled to Buenos Aires, I traveled just like one feels like one feels
- 51:36in nothing, like yes, then it was like that cheve, like that
- 51:38support, like being there, being with them, feeling that support and being
- 51:43in that great race that was the marathon of how you felt in the cotal
- 51:47race, that is, in the race I felt very good. Super good.
- 51:53Let' s just say I wasn' t optimal in preparation. Clearly
- 51:58it doesn' t make it angular either many kilometers as they did, because
- 52:02they obviously made two hundred or one hundred and fifty, as in my elite
- 52:10one hundred and eighty weekly, yes, weekly manale. It' s not
- 52:14like we do that in the mensl, but they know what I' m
- 52:19telling them. I only managed to accumulate about one hundred and thirty a week,
- 52:22that is, I couldn' t do more. They kept a hundred,
- 52:25twenty, one hundred and thirty because they didn' t give me more.
- 52:28I mean, time. Time. And because that was like the plan
- 52:34the cap yes, then also it is possible to remove that myth also that
- 52:39you have to run two hundred and a half kilometers. Yes, clearly,
- 52:43because to feel in the legs to have that sense of mileage, yes or
- 52:46yes, you have to make volume for a marathon and at least, because
- 52:51about three four months before starting. I started in October when, then,
- 52:54I started the preparation again with Mauro for exactly one year, I started again
- 53:01with them. Well, and in October decided, then, to start firmly
- 53:07with the preparation, I had a street on the bike. Then I also
- 53:12felt like I didn' t have to stop for a week and a half
- 53:15because I hit my bike hard and started with the discomfort of the achille tendon,
- 53:21because I never totally stayed. It didn' t heal well. Then
- 53:24I sometimes feel the discomfort, but let' s say I managed to cope
- 53:30there with the issue of aids, physios, with recovery, with neural therapy,
- 53:34also there at the gym in ze four. So super well, and
- 53:39there I kind of started to train and I started to train and like when
- 53:44you also have that goal, you have like that projection and that extra motivation
- 53:49that well, I' m going to run a marathon, I' m
- 53:52going to go with everything, because let' s say that thanks to all
- 53:58that preparation, for a long time in the sport I had like that Hueta,
- 54:02she sure, that natural footprint of being able to run and feeling good
- 54:07and answering your question, would be brutal in that perfect race. I mean,
- 54:08it was very cold, it was very cold, but in general,
- 54:12yes, the cold was brutal. Two ss, thirty- two hours thirty,
- 54:15two hours, thirty, thirty- one. It' s the ruler
- 54:19He marked me two thirty fourteen. That was the plan, or was it
- 54:22better than the plan? It was better than the plan, because let'
- 54:25s say I wanted to run under two twenty- five, that is,
- 54:30it was a little ambitious what I wanted, but already looking at the numbers
- 54:34and detailing everything I did in preparation with my coach and others, because it
- 54:37didn' t give me. It didn' t give me to run that
- 54:40two twenty- five, because, because that' s how much I was
- 54:45this one that put Mauricio between two twenty- eight, two, thirty-
- 54:49one, two, thirty- two, perfect, yes, more or less
- 54:52right, yes, but then they knew like two career plans, do the
- 54:58negative split or start, let' s say hard or yes, let'
- 55:01s say, but at that moment I think I felt I didn' t
- 55:01take any plans. So, you know, I never looked at the clock.
- 55:07I never looked at the clock and then, looking at the sclits,
- 55:10I ran for thirty miles to three hundred, three hundred thirty three, traina,
- 55:14three sixty- one, thirty- one, three- thirty, thirty,
- 55:16that is to say, very without looking at the clock already after thirty
- 55:22kilometer and I already looked at it and you did well. There I go
- 55:22well, and I try to be like him, with the lot that went
- 55:27there, like some elite girls used to. So, and that wasn'
- 55:30t going to say in the broadcast, we saw that lots had been fed
- 55:35up, if lots had been fed up, that was because I mean,
- 55:37I went into my ignorance if it was easy to stick some lot, because
- 55:42if we saw several Colombians there, among them the monkey, I don'
- 55:45t know if you know him, if of course, between the lots,
- 55:49between the characters and the world, then there were several of the ones where
- 55:52you could hit yourself, there were several rhythms that you wanted to wear the
- 55:52women. Him and you' ve come in there exactly. If there'
- 55:54s any say that' s the good thing, too, and I'
- 55:58ve never been like in a race of that level. Also not because they
- 56:01go do the National Championship of Spain marathon, they go two better athletes to
- 56:07look for their Olympic brands or to look for their staff you see. I
- 56:10mean, it' s a lot of athletes that you have there, a
- 56:14lot of lots to beat you up, anyway, not to be alone,
- 56:19because even when you' re left alone, start playing the game. Mind
- 56:22it, mind it all, yes, exactly then what you say was the
- 56:25group of girls, elite that was there like it will be like the pace
- 56:30to make two, twenty, two, twenty- five aha, but I
- 56:35was as well very cautious. I came out like not so strong, but
- 56:37I felt like I could go stronger conservative. Yes, I went out very
- 56:40conservative, because I said, well, it' s forty- two kilometers,
- 56:45the most I did in a background here in Bogotá. It was thirty
- 56:49- five and yes, to four or so, or three, fifty-
- 56:51nine and so on. Well, but they started to bother, too,
- 56:55because I had that pain in my tendon gave me a pulgia. Then I
- 57:02started as well to feel a little anxious and stressed out, because I said
- 57:08I' m not going to go like shit anymore, with preparation and so
- 57:12on. But let' s just say that I was very strong mentally as
- 57:16well and in the race, super- well, and the atmosphere very cool,
- 57:22that' s a brutal environment to run in that seville marathon, to
- 57:27play it inside the yes, please get the ones that goes is the goal
- 57:31and what you think the first time comes to mind. When I look at
- 57:36the clock, I was cool. I made it, I mean, I
- 57:39made it. I got it right. I know everyone comes in and throws
- 57:42themselves on the floor like nothing gets wrapped up, and I got here very
- 57:45well. I only had one pain, like in the quadriceps. So I
- 57:51think I put there in a post that had the full tank, I mean,
- 57:55I felt like I came in with the full tank. I was with
- 57:58the people who were on the lot, all of them already super drowned.
- 58:01I was normal, but that' s a point to work. I didn
- 58:06' t have like strength in my legs, I didn' t have like
- 58:09legs to go to what I wanted and that was less than three hundred thirty.
- 58:12So there' s a lot of improvement on the force issue, because
- 58:17if I had that, I got super good when I passed the finish line
- 58:22I said I didn' t make it anymore. It came to me,
- 58:23as well as all those thoughts. It' s a very emotional subject,
- 58:29too, when you run the marathon and it comes down to everything you want.
- 58:32I don' t know how to scream, cry, I don'
- 58:37t know it' s a shock there well, well, strong of emotions,
- 58:40it all comes to mind of everything I had to go through from everything
- 58:44I trained. So it' s nice how to finish and that distance,
- 58:49which is brutal, one says no forty- two is but it' s
- 58:54a reference to running, running marathon again. You liked the yes, I
- 58:58was very motivated, that very motivated the truth and I think I will start
- 59:05as well to prepare myself to run right now, because I am already for
- 59:08the half Marathon of Medellin, maybe in Bogotá. I don' t know
- 59:14yet, but I do want to start running stockings and start getting better like
- 59:17those distances for because I do want to keep going down, because I know
- 59:22I can, I can keep going down from two thirty trying to find the
- 59:28two twenty- five and I want how to try. I think I'
- 59:29m also, like, biting the thing about running the half- clear stockings,
- 59:34let' s say all of them. Yeah, I think with that
- 59:35two- thirty I think they can all the guetas and all then that'
- 59:43s the project, like still in the marathon and keep trying and keep going
- 59:46down the times. Super well, well, let' s just throw it
- 59:51out and spend almost an hour we' re going to close the podcast with
- 59:55a question that we always ask, that lately we' re forgetting to do
- 1:00:00And it' s you what you would say to a person who' s
- 1:00:04starting in the role a tip, that you want to give a person who
- 1:00:16never stop to do it from heart, that they always have a guide,
- 1:00:23that they advise on a specialized person, a professional in the sport that is
- 1:00:29very important and that always look for a dream and that it' s never
- 1:00:32too late to achieve it, that they don' t allow so many things
- 1:00:36that tell us to woe that you run, that what laziness, what you
- 1:00:40earn from it how much they give you to go there or whether you won
- 1:00:45or not, so that you win yes won or what happened, yes no?
- 1:00:45No. I' m just going for my shirt and I' m
- 1:00:47going to upload the post on Instagram then, but it' s like they
- 1:00:54follow that path, if they want to enter the Rubin, they do it
- 1:01:00in a progressive way, they don' t start looking like those long distances
- 1:01:06that do the whole process, not that they take so long to debut in
- 1:01:09marathon as I am who I am, but as you said, that it
- 1:01:15' s like a process, a process that we say gets along well and
- 1:01:20that we say that, beyond that, it' s being able to deliver
- 1:01:23like that well- being that you need for your life. This gives you
- 1:01:24a very brutal mental and physical health issue, and that you continue to cultivate
- 1:01:30that temple that is your body and take it to the limit, but with
- 1:01:35a lot of total responsibility. Well, we thank you for being here in
- 1:01:39that space, for telling us your story, very cool a lot of motivation
- 1:01:45on your part for everyone who' s listening to that podcast, for us
- 1:01:49too, because what you say is sometimes very easy to give up and leave
- 1:01:52things. And now, but this bearing teaches one that with hard work and
- 1:01:57discipline, anything can be accomplished. I mean, we' ve done it.
- 1:02:00So maybe for people it sounds silly, but we' ve achieved some
- 1:02:05things that two years ago we started running, we' d say that we
- 1:02:08' ll never be able to achieve it then with hard work discipline. Thank
- 1:02:12you for coming here to tell that story in that space. Not you too.
- 1:02:15Thank you so much for the invitation and have the privilege of being here
- 1:02:20in Runin. Since it is a very chevery initiative, we have already chapter
- 1:02:23fifty and have the privilege of sitting here, because they have passed tremendous personalities.
- 1:02:30Then very grateful. No, it' s our privilege to interview all
- 1:02:34of you. That' s something we always talk to my brother and we
- 1:02:37have our children within reach of a Whatsapp, an instagram, and not like
- 1:02:43footballers, which is better said to have a footballer all of a sudden here.
