Es ah\u00ed donde me supero y donde saco mi fuerza de voluntad.\nAceptar el malestar y acoger el dolor que conlleva superar los l\u00edmites significa crecer. Si resist\u00eds el impulso de abandonar cuando aparece el dolor, ya sea que dure un minuto, una hora o diez horas, ser\u00e9is una persona diferente. Desarroll\u00e1is una nueva definici\u00f3n de lo que es \u201cnormal\u201d y elev\u00e1is el techo de lo que cre\u00edais que erais capaces de hacer.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/>Cada vez que te enfrentas a un nuevo reto y superas un obst\u00e1culo mental, construyes <strong>determinaci\u00f3n<\/strong>. Cada vez que te enfrentas a lo que percibes como tu l\u00edmite y te niegas a huir asustado o a dar marcha atr\u00e1s, est\u00e1s actuando con valent\u00eda y desarrollando fuerza de car\u00e1cter, pasi\u00f3n y perseverancia.<br\/>\n<br\/>En septiembre corr\u00ed <strong>mi primera carrera de trail de 100 km,<\/strong> La Surf Coast Century. La experiencia fue diferente a cualquier otra que hubiera tenido antes. La parte m\u00e1s dura para m\u00ed fue llegar a la marca de los 50 km, ya que nunca antes hab\u00eda corrido tanta distancia en mi vida y me di cuenta de que ten\u00eda que duplicar esa distancia. Ahora s\u00e9 que en todas las ultramaratones hay un punto en el que nada es lo suficientemente grande como para distraerte del dolor, no hay forma de adormecer lo que sientes. En ese momento, la idea de terminar parec\u00eda inconcebible. Pero no hab\u00eda forma de que me rindiera.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/>Me compromet\u00ed con el proceso de dar un paso tras otro y comprend\u00ed el poder del esfuerzo acumulativo. Me vino a la mente un consejo del experimentado corredor de ultramaratones y entrenador Tim Locke: \u201cRecuerda que cuando todo empieza a doler, el dolor no desaparecer\u00e1, pero tampoco empeorar\u00e1\u201d. Y s\u00ed, todo me dol\u00eda. Pero pod\u00eda soportarlo. Reconocer el dolor y aceptarlo permite que la balanza se incline y que las limitaciones mentales cambien de forma permanente. Esta es una de las razones por las que me encanta el ultramarat\u00f3n. En ese momento, cambi\u00e9 para siempre.<br\/>\n<br\/>Era <strong>temperaturas bajo cero, granizo<\/strong> y yo ten\u00eda una s\u00f3lida <strong>Tengo por delante 8 horas de carrera.<\/strong> \u2013 algunas de las cuales implicaban correr por colinas arcillosas empinadas y resbaladizas, escaleras y arena. Mis rodillas no estaban muy contentas, pero rendirse no era una opci\u00f3n. El consejo previo a la carrera de otros corredores de ultrafondo fue que \u201centrenar para una carrera de 100 km no es <em>que <\/em>A diferencia del entrenamiento para una carrera de 50 km, solo tienes que <em>se <\/em>tu camino a trav\u00e9s de la segunda mitad\u201d. Pens\u00e9 que eso sonaba imposible y potencialmente descabellado.<em>. <\/em>Pero, por extra\u00f1o que parezca, yo tambi\u00e9n lo experiment\u00e9. B\u00e1sicamente, consist\u00eda en alcanzar mi l\u00edmite percibido y luego duplicarlo. Terminar esa carrera no ten\u00eda nada que ver con ser un corredor \u201cbendecido\u201d o con recorrer los kil\u00f3metros sin esfuerzo, sino que descubr\u00ed mi <strong>determinaci\u00f3n<\/strong> y cav\u00f3 profundamente.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><strong>Esta experiencia me acompa\u00f1a todos los d\u00edas.<\/strong> \u2013 Ya sea para lidiar con conflictos, levantarme a las 5 de la ma\u00f1ana o incluso seguir adelante en circunstancias que distan mucho de ser ideales. Es como canalizar una fuerza interior que antes ni siquiera sab\u00eda que ten\u00eda.\nEs seguir adelante con un entrenamiento que antes habr\u00eda abandonado. Es no rendirse y saber que cada d\u00eda, con un paso (o un cent\u00edmetro o un peso m\u00e1s), llegar\u00e9 a mi meta y t\u00fa tambi\u00e9n la alcanzar\u00e1s.

I now know that there is a point in every Ultra marathon where nothing is large enough to distract you from the pain, no way to numb how you feel.

And yes, everything hurt. But I could sit with it. Acknowledging and stepping into pain allows the scales to tip and mental limitations permanently shift. This is one of the reasons I love Ultra.

The experience was unlike anything I\u2019d had before. The hardest section for me was reaching the 50km mark, never having run further than that before in my life and realising that I needed to double that distance. I now know that there is a point in every Ultra marathon where nothing is large enough to distract you from the pain, no way to numb how you feel. At that point, the concept of finishing seemed inconceivable.

An advice from experienced Ultra runner and coach Tim Locke came to my mind: \u201cremember that when everything starts to hurt, the pain won\u2019t go away but it won\u2019t get worse\u201d. And yes, everything hurt. But I could sit with it. Acknowledging and stepping into pain allows the scales to tip and mental limitations permanently shift. This is one of the reasons I love Ultra. I was forever changed in that moment.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;It was \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;sub zero degrees, hailing\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and I had a solid \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;8 hour run ahead of me\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; \u2013 some of which involved running over steep and slippery clay hills, stairs and sand.

It was essentially reaching my perceived limit and then doubling it.
