- 2:44dynamics of podcast is and it is to tell us first your story as a
- 2:50person and then go a little further on the rolling. It' s okay.
- 2:54It' s okay to see. You have a dog, you have
- 2:59Marias Flores counts where, since I am Maria Flores, I am an industrial
- 3:02engineer, I work for a Swedish company producing high resistance steel. I am
- 3:07also the coach advisor to people from the nutritional area and I am the creator
- 3:13of content on Instagram. Okay, but I think we' re gonna go
- 3:15a little bit further, a little bit further back. Uh- huh at
- 3:21school and how you met the sport. You were a sportsman at school.
- 3:24Well, what you guys are from Bucaramanga. I' m from Bucaramanga and
- 3:31from a very young age, I think since I was seven years old water
- 3:35sports. I started with Bolleyball, I was a Santander basketball team, I
- 3:40did everything at Porristas School, Olympic Gymnasium, made as many sports as I
- 3:51know, but I was the shipowner. Then I could see what I could
- 3:54do I went down in boule and in banncesto. It is possible in boley,
- 3:58because it was so small, because that was not competition or anything.
- 4:02So she was really good at getting, I mean, yeah? Yeah?
- 4:08As a freeman, yes, at an old age, it would have been
- 4:13very good. I believe in the owner always after. Yeah, yeah,
- 4:16yeah? Yeah? When you lasted in volleyball and how many more acer in
- 4:26volleyball I lasted as from seven to eleven, about and as it is of
- 4:30the two and up to seventeen basketball quite as a change, because yes,
- 4:35you remember, yes, of course they expelled the volleyball coach then and I
- 4:42adored him. I adored him with all my being In fact, when I
- 4:46was little they called me a good violin, from the age of seven to
- 4:50today, my closest friends and family ice in Piolimpio. Yeah, right now,
- 4:56yeah, yeah, yeah. That' s why it wasn' t
- 4:58because she was the smallest. I thought it was the team mascot. Then
- 5:03I played, I mean, I was, because I was seven years old,
- 5:09but I played with the biggest. She was really good and that'
- 5:12s why the team' s mascot showed up. So the coach put me
- 5:15on a violin and he got kicked out. Well, he wasn' t
- 5:18expelled. He went to another school, things because, for oral reasons,
- 5:23and then I left, because really, for me it was very sad and
- 5:29I said I do not want to play volleyball again, but it is with
- 5:32Alejandro. Then it was half as much as that, yes, I was
- 5:38too small to think. So, okay, and a really good basketball teacher
- 5:43came in and I said, well, I' m gonna try basketball and
- 5:47I started playing basketball. You liked it better, or you remember the vol
- 5:50you called dumb. I loved volleyball I loved volleyball. Yeah, yeah,
- 5:57volleyball fascinated me. I thought it was a very chevere sport and as I
- 6:01had started so small, I played very nice and I liked that very much.
- 6:06But since basketball was also very fond of him. The good guy'
- 6:11s got his thing. I hardly know. I played basketball when I was
- 6:15a kid, too, but it was pretty hard on the school team to
- 6:18get in. So, since we were so short, they won' t
- 6:20let us play. That' s the problem. I know you have to
- 6:25hit a ball. No no, the good one is to see and all
- 6:29I mean. Yeah, yeah, it' s fast and it' s
- 6:32bacon, it' s super cool. I have a question and it'
- 6:35s good. In fact, that question I' ve always asked myself and
- 6:38that makes a child as a child attracted to sport. Ah well, my
- 6:45dad or my dad, because I don' t know if you guys got
- 6:49to listen. Well, I don' t think so, but my dad
- 6:53was a professional footballer. He played in the Colombia team for a year,
- 7:00the Dada America in a thousand nine hundred seventy- five, but he was
- 7:03a player, since he was from several professional teams in Colombia. What'
- 7:08s your dad' s name is the papo flores, Misael, the papo
- 7:13flores or yes, of course, yes, you do in Moses. If
- 7:14you' re looking for him, he comes out Colombia Selection. He was
- 7:18a Colombian selection. He played the Copa América, because it was not a
- 7:21starter, but he was in the Colombia team and played in Bujer A Manga,
- 7:28in the Junior, in Real Cartagena, in Medellín. He played in
- 7:32several teams in Colombia, because he did, and from there comes all my
- 7:38love for sport and movement. So, yeah, the truth is my dad.
- 7:43But I was instilling it in you, that is, how we'
- 7:46re going to exercise, we' re going to run, no, because
- 7:48I remember. I do, of course, I remember that to see is
- 7:53that this sports thing also comes. I believe from my kindergarten, I have
- 7:59a lot of roughs in the round it was called there they put us to
- 8:05do how many things I even rode on stilts, or yes, I think
- 8:09everything comes from there, because from Niña I have liked to do many things.
- 8:16Sport has fascinated me forever. But yes, my dad, my dad
- 8:20and my sister. My sister was a Santander Volleyball team. So I think
- 8:24seeing the example of them is how I want to be like them. Yeah,
- 8:28I mean, your sister' s older, my sister' s older.
- 8:31Yeah, my sister' s thirteen years older. And that' s
- 8:33two o' clock. We' re not two sisters and a brother and
- 8:37I' m the youngest. And your brother, too, that sport.
- 8:39My brother played football, yeah, yeah, he shorts faith selection then and
- 8:45you carry it in the blood the sport, yeah, the sport put it
- 8:48in the blood. And yes. I remember a lot too my dad because
- 8:52he used to make me like abs there next to him. No, I
- 8:56mean, if it' s not like ay, let' s walk.
- 8:58No, but he was one of the people who told me to come on.
- 9:01I was taking your workouts. He took me to all my workouts.
- 9:05He also picked me up, because he was with me all the games,
- 9:13not the girls. Always like Dad is like the hero, not him.
- 9:16Yeah, yeah, or Mom. It was a second p and my mom
- 9:18was very nervous. Then she sometimes didn' t like the games there,
- 9:22but she was also a sportsman. She did, because she' s a
- 9:26woman who loves to move, she does sports. She' s seventy-
- 9:33five years old and it' s time and I base everything, that'
- 9:37s all. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know where the nerves came
- 9:41from. So, yeah, but look, I' m calmer now.
- 9:45Yeah, yeah, she' s super relaxed. Yeah, it' s
- 9:48just that doing sports in the long run, life really doesn' t give
- 9:50a lot of vitality. I mean, you see my mom, and she
- 9:54doesn' t show up for seventy- five years, neither physically nor everything
- 9:58she does. But I feel and the sport is that yes, it lengthens
- 10:01life, vitality, but the physical age. One can, for example,
- 10:07run, run. It is a sport that at the level that we do,
- 10:16it ages, it ages the physical body, but inside we are full
- 10:22of vitality and we are super healthy people. But if you see let'
- 10:26s say, I don' t know that you' re dating or Ethiopians
- 10:30on the starting line and you say that, sir, you' ve got
- 10:31a sixty out there. When they say we introduce ourselves to halls thirty-
- 10:35five years that little that rests in peace. I used to give him about
- 10:37thirty- eight years. Yes chas. Really. Those people start, they
- 10:41deserve very high, well ready and then you start home basketball, how far
- 10:46do you get to valoncesto? Well, I played basketball. I graduated from
- 10:52school, entered college. You were still there in Santander, in Oca.
- 10:58I was a Santander team three years in Bucaramanga. I think it was three
- 11:03years, but I got out of school and started. I studied at the
- 11:09UPB in Bucaramanga, Industrial Engineering. In college. Aug sport, game also
- 11:13volyball and basketball, but not with the same intensity. My priorities have changed,
- 11:20they' ve changed a little bit. Yeah, it' s the
- 11:24truth. My approach back then was a lot of academic study. Yeah,
- 11:28she was acemic, but still. I loved going to the gym, training
- 11:33basketball, volleyball, but more gym. I loved being heroic. Oh,
- 11:37yeah, yeah, yeah, I loved being heroic, dancing heroic. Yeah,
- 11:43that' s very old- fashioned. I wasn' t fascinated.
- 11:48There were some wacky things or, well, they were at the o,
- 11:52at the gym and in some super cool classes like coordination. They were very
- 11:58cool. The truth comes out sweating from a good kind of heroics and it
- 12:03was also a topic of coordination, coordination, concentration, not you. I
- 12:07don' t remember what the classes were called, but I think those were
- 12:11yes. I think it was a zumba, something like that at some time
- 12:15it got modal zumba and that everyone wanted to do what was called the negrito
- 12:18that the one that went out day by day. Then he came out and
- 12:24full I go the Zong Bay. Sure the world hours during your burst in
- 12:28college you don' t practice, no sport, don' t join any
- 12:31team, because I was there in the selection of the University of Basketball.
- 12:37But the sport in the OPB was not as much as it is that it
- 12:43surpasses epic universities, very very technical, because the sport was not very good.
- 12:48The basketball team and Hollywood, they didn' t really invest much,
- 12:52they didn' t stand out, not in that one. Then, in
- 12:56Bucaramanga, the teams that stood out and the universities were the UNAP, because
- 13:01the teacher who was of the selection of the one was my professor of the
- 13:09College basketball together then, but then in the apnovia of industrial engineering, which
- 13:13was what I wanted. So it was not on a very competitive level.
- 13:18But that' s how I moved what I liked. I trained studying maintained
- 13:22yes, it kept me. I mean, I' ve always liked how
- 13:24to be moving, exercising, sport, no matter what. And well,
- 13:31at the University that was what I could do Industrial Engineering, yes, and
- 13:37there I studied up there and at what point you arrived in Bogotá. Or
- 13:41then I graduated as an industrial engineer and applied, because I start applying to
- 13:48several jobs, because in Colombia the truth, because it didn' t matter
- 13:54if it was my turn to move to another city and came out this job
- 14:01opportunity in Medellín, in this company that he currently works with is ab and
- 14:05it' s called, but you came out to Meillín. Yeah, I
- 14:07got it in Medellin. Then I' m going to live in Medellin.
- 14:11Alone, yeah, back then I didn' t know what it was like
- 14:16to cook. I didn' t know how to boil water, make an
- 14:20egg or anything. In fact, since I go to Medellin it is that
- 14:24Maria Fin and what is roa María Flores begin to emerge. Fit point because
- 14:30I see myself, I move from town and I find myself in a situation
- 14:37where I am living alone. I can' t cook, I can'
- 14:41t do anything and I need to survive screens. You were how old.
- 14:45I was ay, how old. Count two days to see I graduated to
- 14:50see you, you did yes about twenty- two more or less. I
- 14:54' m pointed at home two dances, so I tell you it' s
- 14:58my turn to learn to co- sir, and that I' ve always
- 14:58liked it. It' s all this whole healthy food thing, because at
- 15:01my house my mom helped me a lot, but I didn' t know
- 15:05how to cook, but she also likes to stay and be very healthy.
- 15:09Then, but, because everything I did to my mom, then I go
- 15:13to Meillín and well, then I start learning. But as on YouTube,
- 15:20yes, on YouTube I was looking for ways to do things, I was
- 15:24starting to prove that. Yeah, my first market. I think I was
- 15:26absolutely damaged, all that market and pure addresses, all my first market was
- 15:33damaged. But so I am learning and I also realize that, because I
- 15:41think there are many people like me who come to that point of having to
- 15:46go to another city and start or learn to cook from scratch. So,
- 15:52that' s how Mary fit comes out I say, because I want to
- 15:56teach other people this whole process that I' ve been through and how to
- 15:58save them. That learning curve and it all starts from a nutritional theme.
- 16:03As a good thing, I want to teach people how to learn, how
- 16:08to cook, how to make things easier, but also how to make it
- 16:11healthy. So that' s how I start with Maria fit and I'
- 16:18m staying in Medellín. Two years, two years. I worked hard with
- 16:22them. Yes, Melín was very rich. You liked living in ma and
- 16:26yes I filled it is a very cool city to live in. The weather
- 16:30is super rich, but it gives me the opportunity to move to Bogotá with
- 16:34this company. With that bird, then I' m going to Bogotán.
- 16:38But it was like a promotion. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
- 16:41it was a job opportunity, the truth, and I accept and decide to
- 16:47move to Bogotá. But what year are we talking about more or less?
- 16:49When he made me s to Bogotá. I live in Bogotá four years ago,
- 16:55more or less, or yes, four years ago, that is,
- 16:57before the pandemic. You came, of course, you went through a pandemic
- 17:02here, yeah, okay, I mean, you had it. But well,
- 17:03when you create this Maria Maria Flores account, you create it with a
- 17:10focus on healthy recipes. And that is if you, if you suddenly realize
- 17:15my first publications or most of them. I think the first year, the
- 17:22two years, is an approach to just recipes or just recipes and some movement
- 17:26like exercise routines. It is that I tried to download the first publications,
- 17:33but there were too many, no yes, but the focus starts recipes,
- 17:37only recipes, and there is what constancy you upload some video with? What,
- 17:41but video from that time, at that time uy is what this uy
- 17:47is that at that time the theme of videos was not, were not,
- 17:51did not exist the relsovio not yet it is not true that you have to
- 17:55upload video square. Yes, and then it was just the recipe, like
- 17:59the recipe photo, maybe in carousel and already ah ok, but it comes
- 18:03to Bogotá, with your project, with your entrepreneurship, so to speak,
- 18:07and you want to keep it here in Bogotá. Yeah, sure, I
- 18:12mean, that' s Maria Flipe' s theme. Creating content can be
- 18:17done from anywhere. So I' m going to vote and yes, because
- 18:22it doesn' t record and create content from but you did start to have
- 18:26followers, that is, you started to see that people, because it'
- 18:30s clear when they start to create content, like they see it in the
- 18:33family, friends and chevere keeps going up. But it' s the family,
- 18:38not then, but you do start seeing people who suddenly say uy.
- 18:41I want a recipe for this from the other thing, so look. I
- 18:45started with me, I started growing up, with me, I create some
- 18:52manuals, I create some manuals to teach people how to read nutrition labels.
- 18:56Then I started to rer galan those manuals and decided well, I give you
- 19:03this manual, but you help me refuel on social networks. It raises a
- 19:10story by mentioning me like this, I started to grow, but the rails
- 19:15came. Yeah, well, the truth. All my growth has been organic,
- 19:19but I owe it to the rails, to the creation of content through
- 19:22the Wells. There were many Wills who went viral and have gone viral and
- 19:30that has been like the plus or the point in favor to have growth.
- 19:37How clear and that I was going to tell you because before the Reals went
- 19:42viral and already some accounts grew a lot. There wasn' t just a
- 19:48photo before you could upload after carousel, but the Rells came to revolutionize Instagram.
- 19:52In fact, I think a guest we had here, who is Sergio,
- 19:56the lawyer, happened to him as well as to you. At the
- 20:00very moment, when they are in their greatest growth of content creation, the
- 20:03rails arrive and they are shot visits in the perficie. Yes, well,
- 20:07the theme of the Weills is to deliver value, deliver a cool content that
- 20:15generates many interactions that generate value also in people who like other people. So,
- 20:22for my content creation I focus a lot on that and good the results
- 20:26have been seen. It' s happened to you that I don' t
- 20:30know. Sometimes we get carried away by numbers not and then it' s
- 20:34happened that you don' t get enough numbers on your account and you get
- 20:38a little frustrated in relaxation and it says it' s like reach. Yeah,
- 20:42likes maybe reproductions. I don' t know. My reals have ten
- 20:45zero reproductions and this last one goes up 1, 500. Yes, because
- 20:51that is a subject that, as a content creator, frustrates a little.
- 20:55Yes, because one obviously creates content with the goal of liking people who can
- 21:00impact other people and many times it doesn' t happen but, yeah?
- 21:06That frustrates, but, but, but, go on? Yeah, we
- 21:10gotta keep going. Ah, well, this suddenly didn' t work out,
- 21:14because it' s like proof and error. This did not work,
- 21:17because we believe otherwise. Let' s try reinventing ourselves. Yeah, reinvent
- 21:22yourself. You understand, let' s say there in your mind what the
- 21:25riss has the most reproductions of your profile. Yes, there was one who
- 21:30recently believed an oatmeal bread, yes, a bread saluted from being a bread.
- 21:37Yeah, a bread is a little bread for you to see. It
- 21:42' s a super easy oatmeal bread. It' s done in about five
- 21:45minutes. They mix a couple of ingredients, take it to a small skillet.
- 21:51Grows serious, looks like hamburger bread. It split in half and really
- 21:55is super versatile for breakfast with eggs and avocado for a burger? The Rhine
- 22:02believes it and I showed it with an avocado burger and when you go it
- 22:07' s watching tore not because it didn' t say the figure that that
- 22:11ri came to know that I don' t know, I don' t
- 22:15know, but it' s had. I think millions of reproductions to millions
- 22:21well, on that one day we' ll get to the millions well,
- 22:23when you start calling it avocados or you start generating the gualcate community, well.
- 22:29Interestingly, all the recipes, or most of the recipes he published,
- 22:34were with avocado. And a lot of people were telling me because everything you
- 22:40publish is with avocado, because I like it. Yeah, so I didn
- 22:48' t like avocado. No. No, that' s when you were
- 22:51in Bucaramanga. Yeah, when I was in Bucaramanga, I didn' t
- 22:52like my mouth. In fact, I was a very piqui person for vegetables
- 22:59and healthy food to really appreciate vegetables. And but I love all that right
- 23:10now and I love it because I have studied and because I have learned and
- 23:14because I know how everything it brings to my health. So that' s
- 23:18what happened to the avocado. The avocado, because I begin to study the
- 23:21avocado and see all the benefits it has, because I everything prepared with avocado.
- 23:26And yes and so, in fact, the theme with avocado was creation,
- 23:33as well as of my followers and mine. It was not only I
- 23:37who came to the conclusion of calling as my community or acate, but it
- 23:41was a decision that my community helped me to choose. It' s been
- 23:48giving it all by itself that year that you come to Bogota, you get
- 23:53the pandemic here and it' s from your life. Oh, yeah.
- 23:56It was very hard. The pandemic in fact, in pandemic is when I
- 24:00start perhaps to run like looking, yes, to find that way to move
- 24:08in the middle of a lockdown. And that was my way of doing sports.
- 24:17I couldn' t go to the gym. So I had to find
- 24:22a way to move and exercise, because that' s because I' ve
- 24:25been helped by a lot of energy issue at work, because sport for me
- 24:33is too important and that was like the way I move in pandemic then I
- 24:40start, I start at that. Then he lived near Molinos Park and there
- 24:45he ran. That' s where I' d give him a couple of
- 24:49laps running around in the park. Yeah, yeah, they' re giving
- 24:51us one right now. I don' t think an hour was working out.
- 24:52Yeah, yeah, then he ran in the park. I didn'
- 24:56t do it every day, half every two days, and because I also
- 25:03trained in my house, but I did it without anyone' s orientation,
- 25:07nobody why, because I went around and not suddenly riding a bike or,
- 25:14because bicycles I didn' t have any bikes you had ever raced, because
- 25:18I, that is, in basketball bol woo one runs. But he doesn
- 25:21' t run long distances or that long. Sure, yes, sure,
- 25:26yes, I had run, but not as I do now, nor do
- 25:30I see it as I see it now, but yes, yes, well,
- 25:36I did run. I mean, I wasn' t judicious or thinking
- 25:38about a career at any time. I was doing it as a way to
- 25:41move. Anyway, at the time it was the most practical thing that contrast
- 25:45exact contrast running and you didn' t do it with anyone' s orientation
- 25:49just like when you felt good, you went out and ran. Yeah,
- 25:52well, it was like my way of doing carte. Then suddenly I was
- 25:56training you thinking about my house and I went out to the park for 30
- 26:00minutes of meat. And how you felt running, that' s because I
- 26:04' ve never had such a close approach. Use the Sanz regions to roll
- 26:10and there you started to take it as a routine. Yeah, well,
- 26:15I started to like it. Yeah, I mean, I did, I
- 26:18mean, I didn' t do it because it was kind of practical.
- 26:25But then I didn' t think of a career or teaming up with anything,
- 26:30that is to say, I was doing it as if I were to
- 26:33stay healthy. Let' s say there. Obviously, you will have to
- 26:37work from home, you have more time to grow your community, or how
- 26:41does one organize? Because it' s very easy to stay in bed.
- 26:48It' s not more difficult to stay in bed and work from bed,
- 26:51but how does one organize? I have to go for a run, I
- 26:52have to create content for my community, I have to work, I have
- 26:56to and everything in there locked up. I like it. I think I
- 27:03' m more productive or better off when I have more things to do than
- 27:11when I don' t. Then I could get better organized back then and
- 27:18more because I was home office. I all worked in the office before the
- 27:26pandemic, but they closed the office because of the pandemic. Then it was
- 27:30all from home. Yes, I can say that one has more time because
- 27:37in Bogotá the time to move from one place to another. I don'
- 27:41t know one can go for three hours. Maybe then in those three hours
- 27:45I can do a create content, record content. But I always respect as
- 27:52the times for everything. Let' s say when good we where we lived
- 28:00with the last number bear of the cell, one could go to be market
- 28:03certain days. Yeah, you, too, did or didn' t,
- 28:07yeah, yeah, and then you were planning the recipes and the days you
- 28:11could go shopping, you were buying that da, I mean, I'
- 28:14m thinking about how it was going. It already records me recipe if I
- 28:15didn' t have access to all the food all the time or not.
- 28:18I remember. Okay, I don' t remember being cool, but I
- 28:30think you used to make a good market when you gave yourself a chance to
- 28:37get rid of everything the same way. My recipes. If you see they
- 28:41are not like so many ingredients or many things are very basic or more practical.
- 28:45Yeah, they' re super practical. Then I think that all the
- 28:52ingredients were always going to be and can last me, because Marina Avena lasts
- 28:56me two weeks, that is, Avena fruit from Honduras, that is not.
- 29:02It was a theme like uy I need to go buy this specifically for
- 29:06a recipe. Ok and at what point Mary begins to see more beautiful the
- 29:11traneg gets more attractive, well it passes pandemic and already start to enable the
- 29:17topic of meeting or going out for a run. Then a friend of Bucaramanga
- 29:26' s, who also started running around at that time, invited me to
- 29:32a team that is the team running well. As Mira says, I'
- 29:36m also starting to run with this team why don' t you go and
- 29:40try and I went tested I met Mario and I' ve been with them
- 29:45ever since. I mean, still good, still, but let' s
- 29:48keep talking. But you' re still with him. Yeah, yeah,
- 29:49yeah, I' m still with Mario. But it was a subject of
- 29:53me. I want to start running. I want to run better, I
- 29:56want to run good. I want to run well at no time, because
- 30:00when I got on the team, I told Mario. Mario, I'
- 30:03m gonna be on the team. I like to be more oriented, but
- 30:10I' m not going to run marathons I nor this maximum can be about
- 30:15twenty- one kilometers. I told Mario that and he told you to look
- 30:18smart, because you can be welcome, you can be on the team.
- 30:25You remember what was the first race you started preparing. Yeah, which new
- 30:32Yer Marathon, Mario, I don' t want to run marathons. Let
- 30:37' s prepare the Marathon, so why do you spend the maximum twenty-
- 30:45one look at that then I remember a test test to join the team.
- 30:51They were good. Let' s see how you' re doing in 20
- 30:53miles. I did the test on the symbol going around, turning it around
- 31:00not for another, out, out, out, out, twenty- one
- 31:03kilometers. Yeah, yeah, out of these that five laps, I think
- 31:07minus four laps, because it' s about three kilometers eight hundred then it
- 31:14' s like six laps. Now, yes, it was very hard for
- 31:17me. I think it was the first time I ran twenty- one kilometers.
- 31:21It was very hard, because I didn' t do it to everything,
- 31:25I did it to whatever my legs gave me, because at that time
- 31:30I had no resistance at all. But that was like the basis for starting
- 31:34a process. But when I did that test in Teuca, I didn'
- 31:42t think about marathons or anything. I mean, it was a test to
- 31:47see how to square my onas, how to start a three before that test,
- 31:52how much is the maximum that' s runoff. I think fifteen fifteen
- 31:56is still training. Yeah, yeah, he' s a little bit so.
- 32:00No. Therefore, I said good from fifteen to twenty- one foot
- 32:05the greatest lie of lathes. It happened to me, too I could have
- 32:07been 15 years of the 21st year. We' re half- cheap hurt,
- 32:12but well you did and what and what happened? Well I did I
- 32:15think I finished it like I don' t know, two hours, ten,
- 32:21two hours or eight, something like that and nothing, because there begins
- 32:28a process to improve, like suddenly a half marathon. I also signed up
- 32:32for the half marathon of Bogotá that year, which was virtual. Virtue.
- 32:37Yeah, it was virtual, because you sign up, you get your medal,
- 32:43but you run the twenty- one k wherever you want. That was
- 32:45two thousand twenty- two. Not that or that it was two thousand twenty
- 32:49- one to two thousand twenty- one. That was two thousand twenty-
- 32:51one and she prepares it like this where you ran it in Bogotá, but
- 32:55on which side twenty- six to, because you didn' t give us
- 32:59lies, because then you prepared that mean bad I didn' t do.
- 33:00I ran in, for that is, I ran the proof that they were
- 33:07twenty- one. I signed up. That' s yes, but that
- 33:10doesn' t count. Yeah, no, good for me, it doesn
- 33:14' t count for me Bogota mouse. But virtual, I mean, you
- 33:19' re like a workout. It' s very like that. I see
- 33:21it. Yeah, you made it, of course, of course, I
- 33:24made it. He tricked us into talking about this story, it doesn'
- 33:27t count. He didn' t cheat on me, don' t count
- 33:31well, let' s just say you got me better at that one without
- 33:32getting ready. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no,
- 33:35I mean, I prepared that one, obviously, but no, but I
- 33:39mean my formal career of getting out of a line and finishing and it was
- 33:46just the New York Marathon and how I got there. Yeah, well,
- 33:52you know Mario' s ambassador to New Alance. Yes, and by coincidences
- 33:59of life, because he came to the team running well, as I told
- 34:02them by mau Y And well, because Mario realizes that I have certain followers,
- 34:13yes, certain followers on Instagram and he without me asked him, because
- 34:19I don' t know, he talked to maffe and we started doing jobs
- 34:25together. I think I started with Drunning Balboa to create content until Mario once
- 34:32called me and told me Maria and would like to run the New York marathon.
- 34:37And I, Mario, because I already told him that if you didn
- 34:40' t cough or not at the time I didn' t know anything about
- 34:45the stockings, cream anything for me. For me I had no idea what
- 34:50a ma yor was and what I was doing, i e not exactly what
- 34:53I was doing by saying no to running the New York Marathon. Didn'
- 35:02t you know what the New York Marathon was? So, well, in
- 35:07a phone call he calls me and says Maria can' t really say no,
- 35:12that is you don' t know what the New York Marathon is.
- 35:15I remember I was with my sister, the one who was an Olywood player,
- 35:19the one that took me thirteen years. I already knew no, no,
- 35:22no, and, well, I hang up with Mario and tell him
- 35:25how the other one is that they' re running me. I don'
- 35:30t tell him what to do. I may run a marathon, but work,
- 35:32time. I don' t know how I' m going to get
- 35:38organized for myself in that so, because most people who were on the team
- 35:43at Tian running well had already run marathon and because I said I don'
- 35:49t understand how these people do to run three hours on Sundays and have a
- 35:53normal life and go on as if nothing, because I saw that as like
- 35:58an impossible for me. So, my sister, because it was also an
- 36:05opportunity to start working a little more with Walance. Then I saw it as
- 36:10an opportunity, with a great opportunity to get closer to the brand, to
- 36:15get to know me, to get to know me in my work. And
- 36:22I said good mario, then ready. But how' s it going with
- 36:25the expenses paid and all that marathon. They gave me the quota to you
- 36:30they gave the entrance. You have to finance the trip and that stuff,
- 36:35yeah, okay, but how long did you prepare that marathon, that is,
- 36:39you already tell Mario that they already start from one, yes, four
- 36:45months we prepared it in four thousand, and how did you feel, Super
- 36:49Super, Super Yeah, I mean, I think you' re going to
- 36:57see, you' re never going to feel prepared enough for your first marathon.
- 37:01But, because it was a very big opportunity that everyone was also telling
- 37:06me you' re going to run the New York Marathon Wow. So I
- 37:09wanted to like do it the best way. It was a very cool process
- 37:17and how you find out it' s a bigger one. Already after that
- 37:21he starts to give mentia, because when the opportunity is given and I am
- 37:25mentioned the New York Marathon, he begins to talk to people of the team
- 37:30and they begin to tell me as beyond. I mean, you don'
- 37:34t know? I mean, you don' t really know the chance they
- 37:37' re giving you. We die for a quota, for running the New
- 37:42York Marathon. I mean, really, you took a good edition of saying
- 37:47yes and good. Indeed, it was a very good decision. You can
- 37:54' t imagine what the New York Marathon is and the energy is to get
- 38:00out that I was going to tell you, because your first career was virtual.
- 38:02Well, it doesn' t count that it' s the bill anymore
- 38:06and the other one is going to get to Maillo and you what do you
- 38:09do when you get there and it' s a total party you see the
- 38:13awesome people what you feel at that moment, because the goal of that race
- 38:21was to enjoy it anyway I wanted to try to make a sub four,
- 38:24but I mean, I didn' t imagine that show. But before you
- 38:27tell us about that experience, you said what those people were like that one
- 38:31Sunday, three hours and there he lives like normal. That' s what
- 38:37you thought when he touched you. You, when you started doing it,
- 38:43that' s what I was telling them. One organizes oneself, One organizes
- 38:46how, then, one begins to square me schedules, things, themes,
- 38:54but I did not see it possible. And if it' s possible,
- 39:00then, if before, if on a Sunday, then you get up at
- 39:04eight in the morning, now you get up a little bit early, you
- 39:12get up at five and you get free at eleven, then, it really
- 39:15wasn' t. It wasn' t how much more felt than the mile
- 39:20you trained for thirty- three, thirty- three kilometers. I say the
- 39:23goal was to do that four, but what if I' m getting back
- 39:29to the day of the race. No, the target was the di-
- 39:31four and enjoy it. Yeah, I mean, I had no other goal
- 39:37but to live a mile, three kilome a race. What to feel when
- 39:43you reached the finish line, you noticed yes, yes, but not as
- 39:49in Boston. That' s where I called forward if I cried I was
- 39:57very happy, very happy. I was with other friends on the team,
- 40:01with Andrea. So it was a super super, super pretty experience. What
- 40:06if I want to get there too when ah because it is that I would
- 40:09cry, when I am training for bad is that they tell me how this
- 40:14thirty- five says. Not good, and that' s where you get
- 40:16to Colombia again and you say mine is the Marathon. Yes, because I
- 40:21arrived and two weeks after the race I start a pain in the bandeleta,
- 40:28in the left leg and there begins a rather frustrating recovery process. I don
- 40:37' t know for then the one who had that bandelette injury. Well,
- 40:43for me it was quite frustrating, because one gets to run forty- two
- 40:49kilometers and I then wanted to get ready to rest, but keep running.
- 40:54And it was a four- month recovery break, almost wow, without being
- 41:00able to run the same thing. But we went back to the courts after
- 41:07four months I was in physics alcaare with waves, shock I think that was
- 41:15the treatment that made you, that with which I succeeded, that served you.
- 41:20Yes, four months you lasted without running, that is, if you
- 41:23injured the van of litantar reached. You can' t imagine the pain I
- 41:30felt in my left leg, that is, the feeling was I had my
- 41:35knee split. Yes, mother' s son, yes, yes, but
- 41:38well we got ahead and it also gives New Alance the chance to run London.
- 41:50Then, but there you lay official part of the team or balance or
- 41:52already. Yes, yes, yes, I' m skipping things, but
- 41:57it passed the New York Marathon, the New York Marathon, which ran in
- 42:00November and in January we spoke with nualance to be part of the ambassadorial team.
- 42:07Then no, well, that' s cool. Yeah, I mean,
- 42:10it was really cool. No alance is a supermark. Then being part
- 42:15of that team is something that was very good news for that year. And,
- 42:21well, I' m with them and they take quite a lot of
- 42:24that, yeah, they' re happy, yeah, super happy and they
- 42:29give you. So they tell you well, that' s the chance to
- 42:30run in London. Yes, then half two thousand twenty- two, for
- 42:37let' s say this wasn' t like the quota in New York,
- 42:43which was like yes or no. And there it was something. As far
- 42:45as Maria is concerned, we have the possibility of getting a quota for the
- 42:51London Marathon. Think about it and see that if you can do it,
- 42:58if not that year, my sister of which always fattens her, because she
- 43:07enrolled to Berlin, to the Berlin Marathon, we signed up to the lottery
- 43:14together, to the lottery I did not stay and she remained then, in
- 43:17the two thousand twenty- two. Everything that started to fit in, she
- 43:24encouraged herself to run and start training for the Berlin Marathon. And just before
- 43:30it was the London Marathon. Then we said, then let us do it.
- 43:36I mean, I can run London, you, you run Berlin,
- 43:39oh, no, first I think it was Berlin and then London. At
- 43:42that time he was still in the pantem, because normally London was having dinner
- 43:47or at that time. I think London was in October and my sister ran
- 43:52Berlin in September. And so the idea was what or a walk. Yeah,
- 43:58the idea was that. The idea was you. Ah, good with
- 44:00the husband, because also mail was the husband. Then we ran Berlin and
- 44:07we' re going to see you in London. Plantsso was the Euro Trip
- 44:09super- relan. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I was dying to
- 44:13be with them on that one. Then there was a mara London visa and
- 44:20I don' t know if you remember that many people didn' t get
- 44:28the mara London visa and that even with the quota they couldn' t run
- 44:30London. Oh, no, well, that happened that year, two thousand
- 44:35twenty- two. No, Mommy, no more thanks to those. So
- 44:37I mean, by one hair, but I got the visa that didn'
- 44:42t get the visa went to my sister A They couldn' t see you
- 44:45there. No. No, they couldn' t, they couldn' t
- 44:51go to London to see me. But then we met in Madrid. Sure,
- 44:53sure, yeah, and then in Europe you got it all by yourself,
- 44:58yeah, and how did you run it? Well, then yes,
- 45:01London was a race that I wanted to improve the time of New York,
- 45:06already after a marathon. You know maybe after that marathon process too, what
- 45:13you can do, if you can get better if you don' t.
- 45:16I was really looking forward to improving my time. But that was a race.
- 45:22I was very beginner in the world of marathons and running, because I
- 45:27ran three years ago and because that second marathon also lacked me, because I
- 45:37learned pre- race nutritional topics. I mean, I did a lot of
- 45:42bad things in that second marathon, because there are things that things can,
- 45:45like, for example, I had breakfast that I had never had breakfast in
- 45:51my marathon cycle. So that was a topic because during the race in London
- 45:58I had to stop five times in the bathroom. It was a pretty tough
- 46:04topic, because, because running with twists is the worst thing that is fear,
- 46:10the biggest fear of such a runner for me is one of those,
- 46:16i e, nowadays, it' s one of the biggest of mine and
- 46:21also that' s why everyone on social media or, for example, for
- 46:25Boston right now, the concern was but if you went to the bathroom,
- 46:29yes, it' s very difficult. Yes, agree yes, because after
- 46:30that experience and I also count a lot that before my funds, I have
- 46:37a ritual for so, to ensure to go to the bathroom and have a
- 46:42quiet background. But, yes, London, it was a series of things
- 46:49that happened and mistakes that I made that I no longer do today. I
- 46:54' ve learned. But yes, London, the food issue was a total
- 47:00flaw, so it was more above New York time. Okay, I didn
- 47:07' t get better I don' t have the numbers that clear, but
- 47:10it was less. I did, I made personal records, but I still
- 47:15set up Pits five times. Yeah, you got better, I mean,
- 47:20yeah, it was like two minutes I went down. Let' s say
- 47:22in New Yor I made three hundred and fifty- six and in London I
- 47:27made thirty- two. Same. New York is a more complex race for
- 47:30altimetry, it' s a yes, it' s a roller coaster,
- 47:36so to speak. London makes you a more flat race. Yeah, well,
- 47:39there' s your second major. The Unicorn gets into your mind.
- 47:45Not there yet. No. No. No. No. No. For
- 47:49me, Boston was never inside me. I mean, it was a dream.
- 47:53Yeah, yeah, I thought about it, yeah, I thought about
- 47:55it, yeah, yeah, I thought about it, but I was more
- 47:59like a good guy. I' m not going to wait to turn and
- 48:04be within the age ranges so that the qualifying time isn' t so demanding.
- 48:09That was my target. Yeah, I fell in love with the distance
- 48:16of forty miles, but never, never was like I want to run Boston.
- 48:21I couldn' t be between so many are obsessed in Boston anymore.
- 48:27You don' t even know I wasn' t so eager. I wasn
- 48:32' t so eager. But some friends did have as that goal for a
- 48:39certain year that to run it in the two thousand twenty- four. Darío
- 48:45and Andrea wanted to rank and run Pozon in the 2, 000th. They
- 48:53' re like my best friends. With them it seems New York, yes,
- 49:00and with it I hurried in New York. So, then, I
- 49:04' m starting to spread like that unicorn emotion and want to run Boston.
- 49:09Darío does his Tokyo qualifying time for Boston, He does his qualifying time and
- 49:16Andre and I say as good, so let' s do it. The
- 49:24mother I had the inscription to run Berlin. I mean, I had earned
- 49:30the seat to run Berlin two thousand twenty- three. I was running Berlin
- 49:34in September, but Andrea told me no. Let' s find a race
- 49:43that classifies us to Boston to run it on the 2, 000th. If
- 49:45I ran to Berlin, there I no longer gave for time classifications for the
- 49:51twenty- four, but for the two thousand twenty, where it had already
- 49:52been closed. The window was already closed. So, well, let'
- 49:58s look for a career that' s sorting and that' s within time.
- 50:04So we found this race in Salex City, in New t Ruth.
- 50:10And it comes as the dream of classifying Boston, of trying. And so
- 50:15of the third marathon to go down more than twenty minutes, three thirty,
- 50:19asking you yes, under three thirty under three hundred thirty, under three hundred
- 50:22thirty, and yet we did not know that they were going to taste those
- 50:25six minutes cut. Six minutes ago, that' s where he starts training
- 50:30copes. Mario gave him the great happiness of himself, because he can dilia
- 50:35Mario that you want to classify Boston and then classify it. It was a
- 50:39very demanding process, different from the other two, which had had a little
- 50:45more relaxed. They come in speed training. It was a pretty strong marathon
- 50:53cycle. We were training once well several times on the National University track and
- 50:58I lived very close to the pizza there trained, because that was my place
- 51:02to train all the speed workouts on the track, and that track of that
- 51:07speed is to train the hard one, yes, to lift a little feet
- 51:12costs a little bit not left with the feet turned also and the stockings also.
- 51:16Yes, it' s time to get to the bar, but I
- 51:20also saw you in a background, as well as in the twenty- sixth
- 51:23and completed as with races I now and once as completing with a race.
- 51:25Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In fact, at that time I
- 51:30lived on the fifth wall my background was on the 26th cycleway. No,
- 51:36and so speed trainings on the national revival track. And because, well,
- 51:43we already know that choosing is the Utah race, but that race has something
- 51:45special and that a lot of people are going to think like that. Easy,
- 51:50easy because it has the highest negative unevenness, but the legs after an
- 51:57effort of that is brutal. No, no, don' t. I
- 52:01don' t mean, if you want to rank Boston, or, well,
- 52:07I don' t advise that career as a qualifier. I mean,
- 52:10it' s not easy. It' s not easy. You think it
- 52:14' s easy because most of the race is an embassy, but it'
- 52:19s not unless maybe all the training or all the funding you do is an
- 52:22embassy and you train your legs for what that race is. I didn'
- 52:28t do it like that. Maybe that was a mistake, too. Same
- 52:31in Bogotá. I couldn' t go up patios and down patios all the
- 52:35funds. It was very difficult, but not that race. I think it
- 52:42' s the hardest one at that time, the hardest one I' d
- 52:46ever run, because we already know that the daughter, because you don'
- 52:59t know what it' s like to go down is. For I relate
- 53:01it as with the cannon of the real boy, the fourth kilometer of that
- 53:07race, I felt that in which, as if the two qualzeps had been
- 53:13thrown at me at the kilometre jut pride is what God himself does. Not
- 53:20so, that is, it is the effect of descent and clearness and speed.
- 53:25Then he' s already breaking legs for 30 kilometers. Then they went
- 53:30there together or she, for her part and youu no Hoya, needed another
- 53:34time. She thought she needed less than three hundred forty- thirty- five.
- 53:40I don' t remember if we had to go to school, but
- 53:47my advantage was that I had to suffer in that race. But yes,
- 53:52not anymore. I had an extra help that was joaky. Paco accompanied me
- 54:00for that marathon the whole race. He didn' t write for him.
- 54:06It was written for marathon, that race was forgiven. If he wrote for
- 54:09marathon, that race, he had the option of running half and running marathon.
- 54:15But he was also preparing Indianapolis. So that was a training fund from
- 54:21him, but the goal wasn' t for him to run for four miles,
- 54:25because he had another target, it was another race. Then I started
- 54:30from the race and at kilometer eight we met. Then I had to base
- 54:37that race and that was a lot of love. Super fast mentally helped a
- 54:40lot, a lot I mean you, I enjoyed that race and it was
- 54:45like a more running background with it, enjoying, recording I mean, It
- 54:50was a very cool and very pretty race, because it was very quiet,
- 54:53it was very relaxed. It wasn' t super cool, it was superchier
- 54:58that race with him. The race called me my sister, which I mentioned
- 55:01a thousand times seeing the already mobile phone that is being called no yes yes
- 55:07yes, but it was very chera, because well, the descent is very
- 55:12hard, but at cardiovascular level it is not so demanding. I mean,
- 55:16you go a little quieter, break legs, but you go easy. But
- 55:22then that race reaches the 30th kilometer and the 30th kilometer to the 45th.
- 55:27It' s a fake plane when you don' t have it again I
- 55:30mean, up, up? Yeah, yeah, it' s a couple
- 55:32of blueprints. Then it' s very hard, because when you no longer
- 55:38have legs, you have 12 kilometers more that are very demanding, then uff
- 55:45there can happen many things. In those 12 kilometers. You can melt,
- 55:50you can' t have legs. In the race I saw a lot of
- 55:54people already walking from thirty- three, people passed out, people injured,
- 56:02but no. I felt super strong, super strong that day. Three twenty,
- 56:07how much you did three hundred twenty to that one if you have it
- 56:14super sa you reach the goal. They always give them as something that you
- 56:16sort of rank you. They give you a card, yes, a card
- 56:22that you got the Boston qualify I crossed the finish line that race I took
- 56:29off a railing and I couldn' t take another step. That' s
- 56:30what I was gonna tell you Good, good, good, pretty adrena.
- 56:32Maybe it makes you run your training, it also makes you succeed, but
- 56:38what happens in your body. Once you cross the goal, I mean,
- 56:42and the days after you cross the lie yes, I don' t mean.
- 56:46I took one I crossed the finish line, I took a railing and
- 56:52really my legs, I mean, they really stop working. My squares were
- 56:59supremely ground. It' s already blown up. And after the race,
- 57:06I can say that a month and a half later, I couldn' t
- 57:10even sit without having something and without pain. It was almost a month and
- 57:15a half of recovery, not because she was injured, but the fatigue that
- 57:22the fotic muscle had had and she also classified. There. Andrea also gets
- 57:28her qualifying time, so everyone goes on a walk, so that' s,
- 57:31that' s, that' s all celebrating day. But if he
- 57:36made it, I mean, time made it. And other than that,
- 57:38then later, when they saw the cut, yes, no. Then you
- 57:44were going to tell us that when they all said celebrating, everyone celebrating that
- 57:49we had classified. But months later they arrived. A month later the news
- 57:53comes that there is a cut greater than five minutes. Typical and so neither
- 57:59Ari nor A, none of the transs So it' s what joke they
- 58:07made me do that race. So, not to pass, for it was
- 58:10a dream. It was a dream that we had to run Boston two thousand
- 58:16twenty- four, but it will fulfill us. You' re two thousand
- 58:19and twenty- five. They' re gonna see well, well, well,
- 58:21if we already know that Jack Rao' s court they put him in.
- 58:22I think they' re like senes. They didn' t keep the
- 58:28times by category, but, well, we don' t know if Court
- 58:30was going to see if it wasn' t right. In short, the
- 58:31time of the Court has passed by another exact time, that is, the
- 58:37times of classification by age have kept them, but until the inscriptions are there,
- 58:45because we do not know yet if there is to do more or about
- 58:49five minutes less of itself that plays well to tell us. It' s
- 58:52been a long time in Madrid, but we don' t want to hear
- 58:55your experience in Boston, because I guess that was the strongest one ever.
- 59:00Boston post has been the toughest race, but the prettiest of all marathons running
- 59:06the intern ces his but it sounded like you broke heart to see Bosson It
- 59:15was very special because I also think it has been the marathon cycle that I
- 59:21have enjoyed most of all. It was a super nice cycle. Besides running
- 59:29it with juaco was very special because it was our first Boston. So that
- 59:35made the trainings also go together and that all that process was easier than priorities
- 59:43and we could organize ourselves. That really helped a lot like your boyfriend'
- 59:50s in this story. It makes life too easy that it is a traditional
- 59:57capo non teso. Also then it was too pretty a cycle. And but
- 1:00:04it came two days before the race and it started with a pain in the
- 1:00:08cuff, in the right leg, days before traveling the other to another leg.
- 1:00:13Yeah, two days before traveling, I knew it was a bandelette injury.
- 1:00:19I knew everything that had happened with my left leg. So the truth
- 1:00:23was uff that mentally clear me down not a lot as to see this process
- 1:00:30that I enjoyed most, the one that less pains I have had as I
- 1:00:37am having this pain right now. It was inexplicable, but well I accepted
- 1:00:42it and did as much as I could in physiotherapy. They made me,
- 1:00:45they made me as much as I could, what was in my hands and
- 1:00:52I traveled well. Obviously, it wasn' t a terrible pain. It
- 1:00:54was a nuisance. It' s the one that was starting. It was
- 1:00:57a nuisance I was starting and it' s the head. It is also
- 1:01:00true how about I stopped again four months nothing, yes or that you know
- 1:01:04the subject of the bandeleta. Maybe I' ll let you run a mile,
- 1:01:09just let you run twenty- one, maybe I' ll let you
- 1:01:13run forty- two. Or when he doesn' t stop running 100 meters.
- 1:01:15So that' s what I thought the most. I only asked God
- 1:01:20to let me finish the race, to please let me cross that mess and
- 1:01:22take that medal. But, well, that two race was really super special
- 1:01:36and like everything was as trained as in any other race. The nutritional theme,
- 1:01:43the gels, the salt pills regardless of the discomfort on the right leg,
- 1:01:49was a perfect race. It was a race, that is, if
- 1:01:52you think the pain is brutal, the pain appeared, but the adrenaline itself
- 1:01:59makes it stay in. I mean, that race started because you start moving
- 1:02:05like with people' s energy, because you' re in the pens with
- 1:02:08people who run around at the same pace. Yours then the first kilometers of
- 1:02:13that race to the first seven eight, because to the rhythm of the people
- 1:02:19super well the leg in the first eight kilometers, super well. In fact,
- 1:02:22I made it to the 21st kilometer with record staff at twenty- one
- 1:02:29in half a marathon. At that time, I didn' t feel so
- 1:02:32much pain at that point either. But at kilometre twenty- seven, at
- 1:02:37about two hours seven, I stumbled upon a rug of those that indicate the
- 1:02:40kilometers and fell, yes, I fell, I shaved my right knee that
- 1:02:45had the pain of the bandeleta and I reached to hit at the point that
- 1:02:51was hurting me before traveling. But the truth is, it didn' t
- 1:03:00even get me down or down, and then it motivated me more. You
- 1:03:01don' t know people how my mood fell I stood up and I stopped
- 1:03:06more than you left a line there no ra and I had a n left
- 1:03:08and the scrape remained a n faithful to the mark of a strange bar of
- 1:03:13the mother. The heat was square on the face was not fixed. Padro,
- 1:03:16let' s tell him a rug up here and if people saw you
- 1:03:21with blood and like that, that is, when I fell I really got
- 1:03:24up I didn' t lose. If I lost seconds, if I lost
- 1:03:29time, I lost seconds, because that was we fell, stopped and followed.
- 1:03:31You didn' t get the pain and nothing, nothing, I mean,
- 1:03:35it started to hurt my sword leg more, the scraping and maybe that
- 1:03:38also changes your career technique. Yes, of course, then, with the
- 1:03:43pain of the ondeleta the fall, because they already gather everything so that I
- 1:03:50began to bother a little more of the pandeleta anyway I carried prepared yuda I
- 1:03:54was going to pimp, I took an approxcene for the pain in the middle
- 1:04:00of the race. After I fell And and well, now what happens is
- 1:04:05that Boston really is what people say starts at kilometer thirty, that is the
- 1:04:11race starts at kilometer twenty nine. When the ascent of the Harbry Kill begins,
- 1:04:19then it' s two kilometers that are very long. I mean,
- 1:04:26with juaco we' re checking after the race. How much was the tipping
- 1:04:31percentage? Tilt made a six percent of that is, that' s courtyards
- 1:04:34and if it' s like a quarter, because I don' t imagine
- 1:04:40the quadriste pain that I had climbing those legs. I mean, I looked
- 1:04:45like when I was running Uta, not as much as in Uta, but
- 1:04:50that pain in the quadrips was my God I had 12 more kilometers left and
- 1:04:58I was having this pain in my legs and I don' t know when
- 1:05:01they' re leaving here, when this climb is going to end. Then
- 1:05:04ufff if he had a kilometer of crisis, a few kilometers of crisis,
- 1:05:12were those as the kilometer thirty to thirty- three, because that' s
- 1:05:17his life, that' s his life. But now, when you see
- 1:05:20the end of the hardeck Hill, because that' s what I got and
- 1:05:26I' m going to finish that race, then, when I saw that
- 1:05:30sign it was over already, because it was starting to come down, but
- 1:05:34don' t believe, that is, after the Harry Hill is over,
- 1:05:39follow other subiditas, that is, it' s still three, it'
- 1:05:43s not three days, yes, yes, if it' s three climbs.
- 1:05:44The most demanding is that. But then, after having so many miles
- 1:05:49in your legs, any stirs up, any crust weighs a lot. Mentally
- 1:05:55I was going strong, yes, mentally say very strong and very strong,
- 1:06:00that is, after I fell to know that I had a pain that I
- 1:06:04didn' t know when it was going to shoot or start, that is,
- 1:06:10the pain of the bandeleta. He won' t let you walk in
- 1:06:14a tether with your leg straight without being able to bend it. Then I
- 1:06:16wasn' t very happy. And I was also very happy because apart it
- 1:06:20was one of the races or the Bostons that most people have gone out.
- 1:06:26It made a very good climate for the spectators, because for those who ran
- 1:06:30it was very hot. Of course, that was another disadvantage of the race,
- 1:06:34but it' s not that a boot in the trainings was also doing
- 1:06:39very much to everything. Now. Yes, because the subject of hydration had
- 1:06:42everything prepared and it also stopped at hydration stations and always in the centers.
- 1:06:50It is not also commercial asked at hydration points at all. I was trying
- 1:06:57to take a deaf man because he' s really making a lot of heat.
- 1:07:00So no, but that race, despite the fall, was perfect,
- 1:07:08that is I considered it perfect because I enjoyed it I was too happy,
- 1:07:12so two days before traveling you start a bandeleta theme and you could finish that
- 1:07:17race. You fall apart, you fall down and you hit your leg and
- 1:07:26you could finish it the way I ended it. I mean, I crossed
- 1:07:30that goal and my satisfaction and was super grateful with life with me, with
- 1:07:39my body, with my mind for allowing me to cross that goal and take
- 1:07:45that medal. How you got on your legs at the end, that is,
- 1:07:49it wasn' t like in uta queslia calmly, relaxed to walk all
- 1:07:56that week all your friends accompanied you. Andreas, no, no, no,
- 1:07:59no, you were with jaco. Yeah, I was with Paco.
- 1:08:04Not them. They were preparing other careers, other things. They didn'
- 1:08:10t travel to good. You get here, and that' s where you
- 1:08:14got sick. It' s a big effort that' s made in a
- 1:08:18marathon you get helpless. It' s the first time that happens to me,
- 1:08:23but it' s the time I feel like I' ve given it
- 1:08:30all to myself, so no. I don' t know this. You
- 1:08:33left everything on the court. Yeah, I left it all on the real
- 1:08:36court, so I didn' t. It was a huge, supernatural effort
- 1:08:44for me and obvious, because I arrived. The body knows too. The
- 1:08:46body is smart. The body knows when it can get sick when it can
- 1:08:50give up a little bit. I made Colombian land and it really was a
- 1:08:57flu. About 12 weeks. Yeah, and I don' t usually get
- 1:09:03no taps. I' m a super healthy person. I don' t
- 1:09:06think I had a flu two years ago, but it gave me very strong,
- 1:09:12very strong and already complete. Then your third time be complete my third
- 1:09:15dent yes, and the dream continues as it is for the IX. The
- 1:09:18dream goes on. What' s your next goal, tell us quickly or
- 1:09:24what your next career is for what you' re getting ready for. Yes,
- 1:09:27because my next goal is half a Cali marathon in June and Berlin in
- 1:09:35September. Ah they keep it to you, they keep your quota, not
- 1:09:42how I moved Berlin by utah I had turned off the insurance so I could
- 1:09:47run it. In case of ah well, then complete your room. Already
- 1:09:50then, my God wait you can complete that agreement. It' s very
- 1:09:55hard to reach. Yeah, unless it' s all in a year.
- 1:10:00Well, to close a few questions, how do you follow your pain in
- 1:10:04the bandeleta better let' s talk about something else. This is my second
- 1:10:11month. Now, seriously, yes, it' s worth it, yes,
- 1:10:15and in June you' re running, that is, it' s
- 1:10:17still June. Yes, this doubt. We' re gonna get our attitude
- 1:10:23back. I mean, you' re already training, you' re already
- 1:10:26making martaocycle micros. Not right now, I' m full recovery focused on
- 1:10:31recovering. Maybe May. It' s going to be very soft to start
- 1:10:39giving full strength and leg recovery. I don' t want this to be
- 1:10:44a matter of what New York was like. I already have a learning process
- 1:10:50and I know how to handle this injury. Then we' ll give it
- 1:10:57all so we can recover. Yeah, well, whatever happens is gonna happen.
- 1:11:01Okay. Finally, now we can close, because we can stay here
- 1:11:05for a long time. In fact, I was there in Boba listening to
- 1:11:09what looked like a novel, some tips I could give to people who are
- 1:11:13starting to run. Well, two tips. The first is to sign up
- 1:11:19for a career, don' t think about it, but with help,
- 1:11:26that is, with a training plan, with a coach, sign up for
- 1:11:31a team, don' t do it alone. That' s gonna help
- 1:11:34them and save them a lot of headaches, a lot of injuries. That
- 1:11:41' s it, sign up for a career, but do advise. And
- 1:11:45the second, the second council, that' s not the race, do
- 1:11:49it, but write down. And the second, well, write in the
- 1:11:54half marathon bustanch podium marathon of Bogota. They can be registered and is that
- 1:11:58very good is to cause a pattern. Well, Maria, thank you so
