Running
Running isn't only running
Running has been part of my life since my early twenties. I trained across the roads of Chiclana, Madrid and Ronda (wherever I've lived), competed regularly, and gradually worked down to times I am proud of —including a sub-37 10K and a 2:55 marathon, both set in early 2017.
Three neurosurgeries in 2020 changed what my body can do and how I think about movement. I am now an adaptive runner — still going, on different terms and at a different pace, but still moving. The records below belong to the runner I was. I keep them here because they are true, and because the work they represent does not become less real just because the circumstances around it changed.
For me, running isn't only running. It's knowing when to grit your teeth, when to slow down, when to stop so you don't break. Knowing which path to take and which to avoid. Running is like living; it teaches you how to live. That's why I run, and why I'll keep running as long as I can.

Running today
Since returning to racing in 2023, I compete as an adaptive runner — slower, with more planning, and with a lot more respect for what the body signals. These are the highlights since the surgeries.
