Cette exp\u00e9rience \u00e9tait diff\u00e9rente de tout ce que j'avais connu auparavant. Le plus difficile pour moi a \u00e9t\u00e9 d'atteindre la barre des 50 km, n'ayant jamais couru plus loin que cela auparavant et r\u00e9alisant que je devais doubler cette distance. Je sais maintenant qu'il y a un moment dans chaque ultra-marathon o\u00f9 rien n'est assez grand pour vous distraire de la douleur, o\u00f9 il n'y a aucun moyen d'engourdir ce que vous ressentez. \u00c0 ce moment-l\u00e0, l'id\u00e9e de terminer la course me semblait inconcevable. Mais il \u00e9tait hors de question que j'abandonne.<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\/>Je m'\u00e9tais engag\u00e9 \u00e0 mettre un pied devant l'autre et j'avais compris le pouvoir des efforts cumul\u00e9s. Un conseil de Tim Locke, coureur d'ultra-marathon exp\u00e9riment\u00e9 et entra\u00eeneur, m'est venu \u00e0 l'esprit : \u201c N'oublie pas que lorsque tout commence \u00e0 faire mal, la douleur ne dispara\u00eetra pas, mais elle ne s'aggravera pas non plus \u201d. Et oui, tout me faisait mal. Mais je pouvais le supporter. Reconna\u00eetre la douleur et l'accepter permet de faire pencher la balance et de d\u00e9passer d\u00e9finitivement ses limites mentales. C'est l'une des raisons pour lesquelles j'aime l'ultra. \u00c0 ce moment-l\u00e0, j'ai chang\u00e9 pour toujours.<br\/>\n<br\/>C'\u00e9tait <strong>temp\u00e9ratures n\u00e9gatives, gr\u00eale<\/strong> et j'avais un solide <strong>8 heures de course devant moi<\/strong> \u2013 dont certaines impliquaient de courir sur des collines argileuses escarp\u00e9es et glissantes, des escaliers et du sable. Mes genoux n'\u00e9taient pas contents, mais abandonner n'\u00e9tait pas une option. Le conseil donn\u00e9 avant la course par d'autres coureurs d'ultra-marathon \u00e9tait que \u201c s'entra\u00eener pour un 100 km n'est pas <em>que <\/em>diff\u00e9rent de l'entra\u00eenement pour un 50 km, il suffit de <em>volont\u00e9 <\/em>ton chemin \u00e0 travers la moiti\u00e9 arri\u00e8re. \u201d Je trouvais cela impossible et potentiellement insens\u00e9.<em>. <\/em>Mais curieusement, j'ai trouv\u00e9 que c'\u00e9tait aussi mon exp\u00e9rience. Il s'agissait essentiellement d'atteindre ma limite per\u00e7ue, puis de la doubler. Terminer cette course n'avait rien \u00e0 voir avec le fait d'\u00eatre un coureur \u201c b\u00e9ni \u201d ou de parcourir les kilom\u00e8tres sans effort, j'ai trouv\u00e9 mon <strong>courage<\/strong> et creus\u00e9 profond\u00e9ment.<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>Cette exp\u00e9rience m'accompagne chaque jour.<\/strong> \u2013 que ce soit pour g\u00e9rer un conflit, me lever \u00e0 5 heures du matin ou m\u00eame pers\u00e9v\u00e9rer dans des circonstances loin d'\u00eatre id\u00e9ales.

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.

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.

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. But there was no way I was stepping down.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;I was committed to the process of putting one foot in front of the other and understood the power of accumulative effort. 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. Finishing that race was in no way about being a \u201cblessed\u201d runner or breezing through the kilometres, I found my \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;grit\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and dug deep.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\"} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;This experience is with me every day\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; \u2013 whether in dealing with conflict, getting up at 5am or even soldiering on in circumstances that are less than ideal.
