To promote and raise funds<\/strong> for Sports PTB<\/strong><\/a>, the Spanish sports association for little people, I\u2019ve decided to take on a new sporting challenge: to be the shortest person ever to finish a marathon<\/strong>. However, on a handbike!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And not just any marathon, but the most iconic marathon in Europe, the Berlin<\/strong> marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The story behind the challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why marathons? And why on handbike?<\/strong> I have always felt a special appeal for long distance athletics sporting events, at the Olympics, and also for cycling events, like the Tour de France. I\u2019ve always admired the sceneries where they take place, the passion that overflows and the feeling of running fast driven by your own effort<\/strong>. But neither running nor cycling has ever been my forte, so these events always felt too far away from me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from World Dwarf Games and creating Sports PTB, with Carles<\/strong>, my coach and friend, we were looking for a new project to raise awareness for little people and the association<\/strong>. It was not easy, but when the word marathon entered the conversation, even if it may have seemed far-fetched, I knew that we had found it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With imagination<\/strong>, almost anything is possible, so by combining two of my dreams<\/strong> that, as a kid, I saw on TV, this new challenge of charity races was born<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project starts from scratch. These are the steps that we are going to take in order to have the best chance of achieving it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Find sponsorships<\/strong> to buy and adapt a custom handbike<\/strong>.<\/li>
  2. Getting familiar with the handbike and beginning the training<\/strong>.<\/li>
  3. As part of the conditioning, we will perform a stress test<\/strong> and also a test of generation of lactate that will help us determine the best pace for us while doing aerobic exercise (i.e. the marathons).<\/li>
  4. Lots of training<\/strong>.<\/li>
  5. First prep races. Step by step<\/strong>, several popular races of 5km, 10km, half marathons and one or two marathons before attempting our goal marathons.<\/li>
  6. In these prep races, we will put stands with information<\/strong> to raise awareness and raise funds for Sports PTB<\/strong>.<\/li>
  7. More training<\/strong>.<\/li>
  8. Register<\/strong> to the Berlin Marathon held in September.<\/li>
  9. Begin the marathon<\/strong>.<\/li>
  10. Reach the finish line!<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Para promocionar y recoger fondos<\/strong> para la asociaci\u00f3n Sports PTB<\/strong><\/a>, me he propuesto un nuevo reto deportivo: ser la persona m\u00e1s baja de la historia en terminar un marat\u00f3n<\/strong>. Eso s\u00ed, \u00a1en handbike!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Y no cualquier marat\u00f3n, sino el marat\u00f3n m\u00e1s emblem\u00e1tico de Europa, el marat\u00f3n de Berl\u00edn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        Historia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \u00bfY por qu\u00e9 maratones<\/strong>? \u00bfY por qu\u00e9 en handbike<\/strong>? Desde siempre he sentido especial atracci\u00f3n por las pruebas de larga distancia, de atletismo, en los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos, y de ciclismo, en vueltas como el Tour de Francia. Siempre he admirado los paisajes por donde transcurren, la pasi\u00f3n que se respira y la sensaci\u00f3n de correr veloz impulsado por tu propio esfuerzo<\/strong>. Pero ni correr ni ir en bicicleta nunca han sido mi fuerte, as\u00ed que siempre las hab\u00eda visto muy lejanas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Tras regresar de los Mundiales para personas de talla baja y de crear Sports PTB, con Carles<\/strong>, mi entrenador y amigo, est\u00e1bamos buscando un nuevo proyecto para dar a conocer la asociaci\u00f3n<\/strong>. No fue f\u00e1cil, pero cuando en la conversaci\u00f3n sali\u00f3 la palabra marat\u00f3n, por muy descabellado que pareciese, sab\u00eda que lo hab\u00edamos encontrado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Con imaginaci\u00f3n<\/strong>, casi todo es posible, as\u00ed que de juntar dos de mis sue\u00f1os<\/strong> que de peque\u00f1o ve\u00eda por televisi\u00f3n, nace este nuevo reto de running<\/em> solidario<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        2. Toma de contacto e inicio de los entrenamientos<\/strong> con la handbike.<\/li>
        3. Como parte de la preparaci\u00f3n, est\u00e1 previsto llevar a cabo un test de esfuerzo<\/strong> y de generaci\u00f3n de lactato para ayudar a determinar el ritmo id\u00f3neo en pruebas de resistencia.<\/li>
        4. Muchos entrenamientos<\/strong>.<\/li>
        5. Primeras carreras de preparaci\u00f3n<\/strong>. Carreras populares de 5km, 10 km, medias maratones y alguna marat\u00f3n previa a las grandes pruebas, progresivamente<\/strong>.<\/li>
        6. En las carreras de preparaci\u00f3n, poner stands con informaci\u00f3n<\/strong> para dar a conocer y recoger fondos para Sports PTB<\/strong>.<\/li>
        7. M\u00e1s entrenamientos<\/strong>.<\/li>
        8. Solicitar la inscripci\u00f3n<\/strong> en el marat\u00f3n de Berl\u00edn que se celebra en septiembre.<\/li>
        9. Empezar el marat\u00f3n<\/strong>.<\/li>
        10. \u00a1Llegar a la meta!<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
