What a season, Marta: Marathon of Valencia, Spain Championship of Media Marathon in Santa Pola, half marathon in Barcelona ... How do you get to the World Cup? Well, I believe that in full form, I saw it in the Spanish field championship through, ending with a lot of strength and wanting more kilometers. I have trained very well and ... you have to leave! How was the preparation, have you trained something different? No, nothing different from the previous means, it was about keeping the peak, which is already enough. At this point in the season, from July 1 training at high intensity, I notice some pain, but normal. What does it feel like to be part of the national team and represent your country? The amount of feelings at this time is impressive. For me it is a dream come true that among all the Spanish fondistas, I am one of those chosen by the Spanish Federation and that deposit their trust in me. I do not even want to think when online exit ... Although the queen athletics test is the marathon, the average is the fashion distance, do you think that this distance will gradually take more prominence? For me it is a very pretty distance, I could say that it is my favorite, where I find more comfortable. You need to be a very complete athlete to be able to defend yourself in a half marathon, strength and resistance, working on your anaerobic threshold and even above, a challenge. In Valencia they have seen it well, not in vain the next World Cup will be here. Tell us about your partners, what possibilities do you see in teams? Alessandra Aguilar 1: 10’55 ’. The Captain, the most regular, unquestionably in a very good shape and that surely makes a paper on Saturday. Marta Galimany 1: 13’37 ’. The most rookie in the distance, the World Cup will be its second half marathon. But of course he has made us see that he points ways in the long distance! Paula Mayobre 1: 13’33 ’What to say about the youngest of the three. She premieres as an absolute World Cup but has already represented Spain on other occasions in lower categories. I think it is part of the future of high -level background athletics in Spain. What product of 226ers is indispensable in your day to day? For me the indispensable are Energy Drink at breakfast, Isotonic Drink in training and recovery Drink at the end. Rare is not to take any of them. What will you take in the race and when? In km 15 I will take the extra gel of salts caramel. Being a half marathon and also without heat, I don't think I need isotonic drink. And with the extra salts supplicate any problem related to hyponatremia. I have already tried at least two socks and it has been great. And after Cardiff? Well, rest a week and put on my batteries. If I arrived strong, I would go to the 10K national on the route and ... why not get to dream again with the European in Amsterdam this summer. You know 226ers ... #Feedyourdreams!
