The fire of popular races goes with them. Daniel Andújar and Mar Jover from Alicante, Olympians in RioAfter turning a new page to the sacrifices required by professional sports, they completely immersed themselves in popular athletics and found new dreams. Andújar founded the team Bull Runners where is it moving ram Among many other athletes is Marieta Jover, who has run from long jump to half marathon.
“Life teaches you that the good is not so good, the bad is not so good. It all came about after a chronic injury to my calves that forced me to withdraw from high competition, and after assimilating this, the desire to create Dani Andujar’s Bull Runners was born, not only He was born not only to run to prepare himself, but also with the desire to be a pioneer. Underlining the excellent health enjoyed by popular races, Dani says the idea is to “prepare you for running, to do everything right from the beginning, to enjoy the journey and achieve your goals.”: «The truth is that the situation will get worse because going for a run or training improves the quality of life There are a lot of people, but overall I see too many people because it allows you to disconnect from the whirlwind of daily life and get excited about new challenges to achieve, and at the same time surrounds you with a pleasant and healthy environment in which you can share this. Lack of control in their training structure “They often take on more load than their body and musculoskeletal system can absorb, leading to stagnation and frustration.”
The middle distance runner couldn’t be more pleased with Mar Jover’s presence in his team. «I have known and admired Marieta for many years; Shortly after she founded the club, her husband Paco and later her brother Joan founded the club. After withdrawing from the high competition authorityI wanted to continue to be excited, to pose new challenges succeed because that’s what life is all about after all, moving forward and surpassing yourself. “He has always been very clear about putting himself in the hands of someone who can guide him on this path, and I’m lucky that he decided to choose our team.”
The long jumper, on the other hand, found new dreams in popular competitions: «I have known about Dani’s project for a long time, in fact my husband and brother had already trained with him. Dani knows this and I have told him verbally many times that my new challenges will go hand in hand after my last jump. “He didn’t believe it, and here you see us, with all my teammates, making a great team.”
«I discovered a world of racing that I am passionate about because The atmosphere felt at the start, during the race and at the end of the finish line is simply magical.. This is where we share our efforts and previous training to achieve and present the best version of ourselves and realize our dreams. The satisfied faces you see as you cross the finish line fill you with energy and the desire to continue striving every day to relive those feelings. It is also true that you always encounter people who have not prepared in advance to carry out this type of work, and I think this is something I do not share, because health comes before any difficulties. That’s why I believe that anyone who wants to undertake a physical challenge of these dimensions should be guided and worked on by professionals, and Dani does this wonderfully,” says Marieta, who prefers not to set specific goals in this world: «Half marathon, marathon… I don’t set long-term goals for myself. The good thing now is that I don’t have to achieve any competitive goals and I get to pursue the thrills and challenges I want. “I won’t deny that improving myself day by day is my biggest motivation, so little by little I can do a few more half marathons, but the marathon will have to wait for a while.”
Do you have more trouble preparing for popular exams or professional sports? Marieta clearly: «It’s different. Depending on the demands you make things will go one way or another. In my case, I am not in any pain whatsoever, but it is true that my training intensity in professional athletics has now decreased for various reasons. The first is that I come from a discipline where strength, speed and power are paramount, where I push my body to its limits every day, and this has now changed in the background because I train at lower intensities. The second reason is that I now look at sports from a different perspective, I determine the intensities according to my own wishes, I need my senses, and this allows me to extend my sports life from a very healthy perspective. ».
Maximum enthusiasm from both athletes in this new journey in the Bull Runners project. Miles ahead.
