When did you start running and why?
When I was 17 years old, doctor told me than I was diabetic. It caused me a lot of frustation and disappointment. Then, I started running and I discovered how trail running gave me freedom. I feel so good when I can chose, my way, my direction, my goal, my trail… it’s my opportunity to show than with diabetes is possible!
The most beautiful / fun running memory / experience…
I’m really enjoying it and it’s so hard it only takes a moment. Every day shared with friends and family while I was running it’s fun and beatiful.
How do you train, do you have a training system?
I have a coach and he plans my season. We talk often to manage season and try to arribe in best performance.
The ideal running distance?
I fell so good running marathons and I think than I can give my best during 6h-8h.
The ideal day to run is (where, with whom, how)?
My ideal time is to run in Montserrat, a mountain near my house. I train there alone, with my friends … it’s a beautiful place to improve my performance.
The ideal day when you’re not running is?
Rest at home, reading a book.
What would I do if you weren’t a runner?
I would like be a fireman but in Catalunya, if you are diabetic you cannot be fireman… Now I’m working in tawn hall and it’s great!
