Stories of Resilience and Overcoming Challenges in Trail Running
At Amen Trail, we believe that running is not only a physical challenge but also a powerful tool for personal transformation. On this occasion, we want to share two inspiring stories that remind us of the importance of resilience and determination on the trail running journey and in life.
Alejandro Menjura: Ultradistance and Resilience
In episode 47 of our podcast OX Sports Nutrition, we talk with Alejandro Menjura, a passionate ultrarunner who shares his journey in ultra-distance races. Alejandro discusses how trail running has become a metaphor for his life, facing challenges, overcoming mental barriers, and discovering how far the body can go when the mind is focused.
One of the key points in the conversation is the importance of mental preparation. Beyond physical training, Alejandro emphasizes how psychological strength is crucial to complete extreme distances and face tough moments in the mountains. He also shares strategies to stay motivated and connected with oneself while covering miles on demanding terrains.
