behind the

let’s talk about sport and how

have the right attitude we can

help overcome all the challenges that are

bring us up in life

professionally personally I’m going to

put in situation I like

very much the sport I am passionate

and a while ago the

possibility of linking the part

professional with the most passionate part

then through programs

sports

we try to convey what it feels like

doing all that kind of testing

different both in asturias and outside

of Asturias and be able to take it to

screens

well in the month of November we

pose the possibility of recording five

programs throughout the month of

December to issue in January because

they needed content and they already knew that

it was very rushed but the answer

which was then if we are going to accept the challenge

well we had more or less a

week to fight to prepare each

one of those tests and the consequent

stress at the organizational level of

coordinate a team to record it

avoid it

besides doing the test itself everything

what you are going to see happened during the

month of December and are the problems the

vicissitudes of facing different challenges

from the sporting point of view and

from the point of view also

professional well the first of the

challenges to which we submitted was this

you see here it’s a rugby match and

what we learned above all above

of all things is trust in the

equipment

there are fourteen people who play with you

and you have to fulfill your role

I the truth is that it is not that I have

a half-melee body

I am a rather light person and I

they said you’re going to put on the wing and

you’re going to run down the band you finish the

plays

the rest of the team has to do their

function and you will get the ball

the last one and you just have to run

to try

well in a team all have their

paper and its function and you meet another

more in all in all facets of the

personal or professional life

everyone has to fulfill their mission

so everything works like a gear

well oiled

well then inside all and all within

of all the equipment we have different

rugby type roles

you can see soon it is happening

the ball opens towards the each

one fulfills its function does not reach the

ball and there are times when you can succeed

you can find

others do not but everything is learned in the

life and I in this case for example

I learned that I had to run a little

more and well run a little more or a lot

more is exactly what we did 42

kilometers and 195 meters in the marathon

from valencia there were 12 Asturians

that we prepare for the test for about

months to reach the goal

mental strength because mental strength

because to run a marathon

you have to go through previous phases like

for a lifetime you have to train

prepare tea making runs of five

kilometers of 10 half marathons and

know that you are physically strong

to be able to reach that goal well in

all the long short races on

everything in these long distance

there is a delicate moment that in the

marathon is called the wall in which

are you alone

and beyond everything prepared

this one of all the training that

you have done you have to pull that

mental strength to be able to overcome

slumps when you no longer feel the legs

because you can not anymore and go to

three hours at 230 or at the pace you want

there is always a time when you can

more the head than the physical always

they ask us which part is more

important within these tests of

resistance

I always say the mental without doubt without

doubt because the physicist serves you to

stand on the starting line and to

hold on the first kilometers

but after the body when it is already

signs of I can not anymore I can not anymore

there already strips of that mental reservation of

that motivation that you could have achieved

through all that preparation

previous

well you learn from a marathon

he asks people about everything that does not

run and you do not understand that part of the

suffering physical crush it

well me when I reached the goal of

marathon of valencia I stayed for

two hours

how thousands and thousands of people will pass

and the vast majority of them went to

mourn as children, it was a

indescribable feeling that

complicate the complicated transmit and that

you saw countrymen of one meter ninety

and 100 kilos that completed the

marathon and they arrived shattered but

excited

they all came with a feeling of

have achieved the goal that I believe

that on a personal level already served as

reward in the background is an act

selfish that has a very reward

individual but that takes you to a state

of happiness that I think can be

transmit to the rest of those around you

and in this other test that we did that is

a mountain race in suarias I think

that I conveyed that feeling because in

this case the challenge was very different

because the friendly leadership because

these other facets another of the faces of

the attitude related to sport

which in this case helped me so that the

challenge that we had raised that was

bring to rafa there are uveros ya javi

weaver who are two musicians who never

they had run a race of these

features virtually none

career and that in theory they are not

ready to reach goal

after a few days of a week of

mostly mental preparation they relied

in me so they could complete the

Soria clover which are 23 of 23

kilometers for a very technical terrain

in peñamellera of the races more

difficult at the technical level that there is in

Asturias and they let themselves be guided

one hundred percent for the pace that they

I proposed for the motivation that goes

permanently talking to them at

long of all the kilometers already

from 12 or 13 had already

surpassed all previous barriers

between a new territory for them

because they had never run so much

distance and the truth is that the

100% friendly leadership linked to that

good vibes that gives you to be with people who

share hobby is with you and that

they let themselves be guided and they all share

those kilometers with a smile

permanent in all the photos that

we have that career are with a

Smile in your mouth from everyone

those who were with them running

helping them to arrive and that good

roll was transmitted and helped to that

we could all enjoy the test

from the first kilometer to the

last so much that they when they arrived

a goal as it happened with the Marathon

excited and said they would have to

repeat and in fact I know that they are

running following that test

well for the 23 kilometers I

it touched me to lead the physical part

but then they passed it too and

they were so creative that they put me

another challenge in this musical case knowing

that I have zero ear and simply

I was told

now let’s make us leaders

you let us advise and we will teach

that here the basics of the bagpipe and the

drum and and since he says yes for

supposed

and in this case obviously I do not

I was ready

I do not have many skills for

music

I did what I could but it was a failure

total and absolute and total and absolute not

I can say why are we missing so

well albeit the most special test

for me than we did in December

was the raid of 40 kilometers in

tapia de casariego and that arose from a

decision made on the fly because

a test of

canoeing we had already done another

try with dogs a ca micros that

It was spectacular because of everything that you

provides that link with the animal

then in the same canicross when

told us investment they told us to be

came down the canoeing test

came up the idea of ​​doing a raid because

we only have one weekend left

operative of the month of December and there was

two tests an era of running and it’s

very seen and we had done it and another

I was a horse king and we said good

yes it would be fine but I have never

mounted on horseback

I have no idea what it means

get on a horse I’ve never done it and

I had many doubts but that yes

I said after thinking it 30 seconds

when we did not think about it, it gave way to

a whole unknown world and that was

super enriching for me

then I called all the contacts

I had until I found Maria

Sinterklaas is a girl riding

on horseback and that is very good doing

root in asturias

he taught me the basics and we had a

litmus test that all

situations in life you always have

that moment that is fundamental to

know if you go forward or towards

back and in this case on the horse is

when you go up to your ibex box the

horse in front is difficult to climb six

titles of the movies and it seems that

It’s very simple but you have to be

agile and you have to climb with desire

then once you get up according to your

you stay on the horse you know

if you’re worth or not to ride like that,

they said and there is so it went we go then

you will raise and depending on the position

so you already know the evolution that

you can have riding

well, it seems that they liked it

how I sat

we started at the pass and we went adding some

kilometers and another day and another day and I

they said hey look I see it very fair

it’s 40 kilometers that he has to do

On Sunday in Tapia de Casariego you will

it’s going to be very hard but you can try

I said I have nothing to lose that is

the approach already of I do not have anything that

to lose

me with I put myself in a mental state that

It allowed me to meet the challenge with a

point of view here I will learn everything

not everything that comes is going to be a

new experience and if not out there not

finished and it ended so great but

everyone is going to serve us

well, we have to challenge our

limits controlled but decidedly and

in this case it all started for yes

says that if this challenge and a time to

along the raid where I already caught the

point to the trot and gallop and that is

they were the batteries of the battery

I was used without battery

Camera cell and a boy who

He is with us and stayed for

fifteen kilometers without having to

worry about recording details and the truth

is that I enjoyed like a dwarf

ciao flowed everything was like my god

I would turn off to be here right now

thanks to having said yes in front of

a situation that for me was

totally unknown

I learned a lot of things about everything

the link with the horse

immediately know who is on top are

super smart

I’m not surprised that they use them in therapy

because as soon as you get on you know if yep

you can take the lead if you take

you control is a precious activity

and totally recommendable, you have to

discard challenging the limits without a doubt

controlled but decidedly fine I’m going to

leave them with a video that summarizes a

little the evidence that we did is about

flashes some images and that in it

I think you can see perfectly

that when you have a passion the famous

phrase that says not that if you are passionate about

work not worked in life because I

this even looked at me considered a

work because that so enriching and is

a hobby that brings me so much that I think

that I am much more grateful for everything

what contributes that

and that for him the work that can

bring i saw and everything around

of a recording not that it is also

quite stressful but we started

talking about sports and I wanted to talk

also with the root of the sport that

this was taught to me by a teacher

of philosophy of the university

complutense who described it is blind and

He described most perfectly one

conversation we had before the

departure

he said running for me is an activity

perfect is the activity itself and

the very root of the sport of Latin

of portaré says it is necessary to leave the

city

you have to explore those limits

unknown we have and from here

I invite you to explore and its limits to

that you exercise and that you do it

of decidedly thank you

[Applause]
