Alysia Montano She is an Olympic athlete who in London 2012 was fifth in the 800 meter test. Yesterday he ran again at the US Athletics Championships. and we echo the test because ran 34 weeks pregnant, with a more than obvious belly.
In seven weeks she leaves accounts of what will be her first child, but she has wanted to reach the end doing what she likes and what she is more than prepared for: run, and run a lot. He finished the 800 meters at 2:32, a time within reach of very few (and very few), unless you have minimal preparation.
He ran fast, but not so much
If we calculate the time per kilometer, it goes to an average of 3:10 per kilometer. I, who have been a popular runner for more than six months and who go jogging 4 or 5 times a week, make my kilometer faster at 3:37. If she only ran 800 meters, she could go faster, but I don't know if she was as pregnant as she.
The funny thing is that we see her run in the video, with her belly, and it seems to creep, when actually goes very fast. I explain this so that you get an idea of what your real level is. If pregnant runs faster than many of those who do not have a belly and are men (run 800 meters in 1:57), imagine how fast it normally runs and how prepared it is. Come on, it is clear that he has a very prepared body to run at that speed, because he ran much slower than he is capable.
The doctors allowed him to run
At all times, as he explained, he was controlled by doctors, who not only allowed him to run during pregnancy, but also they encouraged him. It is clear that exercise during pregnancy is positive. No one doubts it anymore. For a woman accustomed to it is no less, and the intensity with which she ran, although it is tremendous for mortals, is ridiculous for her.
But why run?
Alysia decided to run because every year she participates in the mentioned championship and was the winner in the previous four editions. He did not want to miss this year, despite the pregnancy, and his only goal was to finish and avoid bending.
I didn't need to do it, but for her it was a walkActually, so the question should be: why not?
