-He started the cycle of technical articles about training, pelo director técnico da US Elite Sports Agency Urbino Santos, no site Trail de Portugal.
“In a society where stress expands uncontrollably with dire consequences and sometimes irreparable, the sports phenomenon in its various manifestations increasingly positions itself as a "miracle cure" to which many of us resort to solve all these problems.
not considering me different from all other, I consider myself fortunate however.
After 18 years as athlete of various modes including give prime importance to Triathlon, was 1998 I gave start to my career Coach. we last 15 years I have had the pleasure of working with many athletes which recognize, no exceptions, a major role in my learning.
So it was with great satisfaction that I have heard and accepted the proposal of the Trail of Portugal, in the person of its creator Jorge Esteves to spend a little of the testimony in relation to this whole issue of Sports Training.
What is intended by this cycle of articles to which we start today is to equip all those who engage assiduously to the potentiation of their income (regardless of the objectives that are proposed), the basic knowledge to achieve their goals without putting into question their integrity.
In one embodiment as Trail, where the mileage volume is assumed as a key variable that can not be ignored, regardless of those as diverse goals, it is essential the domain of many issues related to the phenomenon of Sports Training.
When I started my collaboration with athletes Trail, I never imagined come to have a selected athlete (since the 3rd time) for the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc. how do we? with wanting, dedication, delivery and above all with the mutual trust developed over the years.
Throughout this process, doubts will emerge; the results may be delayed; injuries will hinder progress; professional involvement of many of those who are in the reading now will not help achieve what would be the ideal workout; but… the will to get there will always keep us focused on what are the goals.
The Sports Training is still. Full of variables and constraints and is know to deal with all these variables and conditions that will make the difference.
The slogan of the United Colors of Benetton "ALL DIFFERENT ALL EQUAL" is something here becomes completely inadequate. With regard to sports training the correct slogan would be "ALL DIFFERENT ALL DIFFERENT".
If at the end of this collaboration there is someone to tell: You did the DIFFERENCE, I'm going to stick with the proposed objectives.”
