I have run, swim and worked with the Aqua Suunto. Under water I understood what these bone driving headphones propose

by

A common problem of aquatic headphones is that, in addition to not being Bluetooth for physical reasons, they are usually specifically aquatic. That is, little or nothing appropriate to use them out of water. The rest of sports headphones usually also have something in common: they forget the water. I do not talk about enduring sweat or rain, but really swimming, throwing you into a pool and forgetting everything except to breeze. That’s where the Suunto Aquabone driving headphones that are not only designed to function under water, but They have water as their natural state, But they are still dry in dry. I have tried running, on long walks, even at home while working. But it wasn’t until I took them to swim when I understood what I was trying to do with them. Thus they look when they take them out of our head. Image: Xataka. Its strength is not the sound (because it should not be) The first thing to understand of the Aqua is that they are not headphones to use. They use bone driving, a technology that transmits sound through vibrations that travel through the bones of the skull, specifically the temporal bone, to the inner ear. The auditory channel is free: you don’t need to have anything inside the ear to listen to music or a podcast. That provides a double advantage. On the one hand, comfort and safety outdoors: you can run or bike listening to your content without isolating yourself from the environment. On the other, an even more overwhelming logic underwater: nothing gets into the ear, there is no distorted sound, there is no sense of tamponade. Everything happens in that little transducer that rests on the ear and that, against all prognosis, it manages to keep listening even. That little button that stands out from the transducer is the one that serves to stop or continue the music (a touch), pass from song (two touches) or backward (three touches). Image: Xataka. Pogo load pins that guarantee pond but require their own case. Image: Xataka. And here with the connected load case. This works as an external battery for a pair of complete loads. Connecting a USB-C cable we will move to the wall charger mode. Image: Xataka. The surprising thing is that, despite this different way of transmitting the sound, the experience works. There is no isolation, but it is not what you are looking for here. You can hear the music, the podcasts, whatever you want … and you are still connected to what surrounds you. In water, where any other system fails, they continue to comply. Suunto has adjusted the equalization thinking about that: in outdoor environments and, above all, in immersion. Dry, sound is enough; In pool, better than expected. There are no forceful serious study, but a solid, coherent and much more refined proposal than I imagined. Running and swimming with them Before trying them in the water, I’ve been running with them months. Literally. I immediately noticed that the important thing was not as much the sound quality and the feeling of freedom: nothing inside the ear, nothing that falls out when moving, and the music always present without disconnecting from the world. Ideal to go through the city or by roads without losing sight or hearing what surrounds you. You didn’t have to adjust them every little, or worry about whether they loosen up. They simply worked. Besides, Its three buttons (two on one side, one in the other) allow to change volume or pass song. All great. But although they had convinced me, the best was yet to come. The posterior strip. It is flexible but without applying pressure it remains rigid. I don’t feel that I bounce in my neck. Image: Xataka. The first time I used them in pool I felt a certain astonishment. Not long, but when I did it used to be without music because all the previous solutions had seemed a commitment: they were uncomfortable, unreliable, or directly fragile. In fact it came from using some Sony NW-WS413 –With its humble 4 GB– since 2022. Image: Xataka. With those two buttons under the pogo pins we can do almost any action, combining pulsations, pulsation time, etc. Turn them on, turn them off, adjust volume, enter and exit sports mode, etc. Image: Xataka. With the aqua you do not have to juggle: The placing, you start the session from the headphones themselves (without the mobile, thanks to the 32 GB of internal storage) and throw yourself into the water. From the first length, something changes. Music accompanies you. And you keep swimming the same, without worrying about anything. There are no cables, there are no rubber ones that come out. The band that surrounds the head does not move. It does not loosen. It does not bother. It is as if it were not. But the most interesting comes later. These headphones listen to you swim At the end of the session, the data appears in the Suunto app: Posture, head angle, respiratory frequency, sliding in stroke. Technique metrics that I had never seen in headphones. And that, at least in my case, they told me something I didn’t know: that I breathe badly. Image: Xataka. Or more exactly, that I do it asymmetrically, with my head turning more to one side than to the other. They had never told me in the training. Nor had he noticed it. But there was the graphic. Yes indeed: There is no real -time feedback. What you get is a later readingas if you had a silent coach who takes notes while you swim. It is true that the app could go further in its interpretation of the data – phalta context, lack of concrete orientation – but as a starting point, impresses. It is another way of seeing your body in motion. To listen to you from within. For a future version it would be great to be able to … Read more

Let us run out of mobile during the blackout was terrible. That will happen to the government is much more worrying

by

The mass blackout suffered by Spain and Portugal on April 28 left us without light, but also without being able to communicate with our mobile phones. One would think that government members would have some type of auxiliary system, but the truth is that there seems to be no for these types of situations. “Blind”. Government sources pointed out In the world that during The blackout of April 28 They were “blind” and that “mobile phones did not work, we could not communicate (…) not even among us in the complex and in the ministries.” Not only citizens. During those hours millions of citizens suffered A very irregular service in their mobile communications, and except for some exceptionsthe operators had huge problems to continue serving. That is already worrying, but even more than our rulers suffered those same problems and there is no emergency plan for this type of event. It didn’t work either The alert system, Es-Alert. Mesh b. The Government does not have an auxiliary communications system, and for years the effort was in another direction: to protect the communications of government members in the face of possible spying acts. To do this exists The call Mesh bthe Safe Strategic Communications Support System of the National Crisis Management System and the Government Presidency. The system is used not only in government fields, but also in high state institutions. The government protects from espionage. As they point out In the countrythe government decided in early 2025 to renew its encryption systems to shield communications after espionage scandal made with pegasus. The first phase will be a modernization of technical infrastructure, of which will order The Spanish company Epicom. Together with this renewal, an update of the communications encryption system will also be updated, which until now was carried out with Comsec (Indra) but that will now compete with Secret T (Telefónica). Both are National Development Technologies, a primary condition for these services. Sirdee is not (for the moment) for that. Spain has The Sirdee program (Integral System of Digital Emergency Radiocommunications of the State), which was launched in 2000 and that served more than 150,000 users in Spain. Among them are the National Police, the Civil Guard and even the presidency of the Government. There are specific contingency plans and operational continuity in ministries and strategic bodies, but government members suffered the same problems as citizens. As they point out In networks & Telecomthe Sirdee system, which was based on tetra technology of UHF radio, It is now complementing With broadband systems through EMBM technology, based on LTE/5G connectivity. Sirdee base nodes are usually equipped with backup batteries and diesel generators that allow these equipment and communications to be kept while these active auxiliary solutions can be maintained. High frequency networks. In 1988 the United States created its high frequency communications Shares program (HF, 3 to 30 MHz) with the aim of having a support for the first fixed lines, and later for mobile lines. This system, now under the Department of National Security (DHS), is composed of thousands of HF stations distributed throughout the country and belonging to different federal and state agencies. The system It was used during the 11-S attacks, but also during natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico in 2005. Satellite communication is another option. During the blackout Starlink turned out to be an exceptional alternative During the blackout, and that shows that satellite communications systems can be very useful in this type of events. Europe has been trying to launch its satellite Internet system Through the Iris2 systemwhich is expected to begin to be operational in 2030.

We have been reading about the danger of arsenic in rice for years. So much that we run the risk of not believing it in the worst possible time

by

Arsenic is one of the best known toxic elements. The fact that traces of this element can be found in the rice we consume sounds more alarming than it really is: today only very high consumption of this food could involve health risks. The problem is that this can change in the future. Growing concentrations. A new study has pointed out that the increase in temperatures and carbon dioxide concentrations (CO2) in the atmosphere can favor the absorption of arsenic in rice crops. This would translate into a greater presence of the element in the dishes elaborated from this cereal. A change whose impact could be significant around 2050. This increase in arsenic concentration could especially affect the population in Asia, where rice represents a higher portion of the food consumed. “Our results suggest that this increase in arsenic levels could significantly raise the incidence of heart disease, diabetes, and (cause) other non -carcinogenic effects,” he said In a press release Lewis Ziskka, co -author of the study. The risk of arsenic. Arsenic is considered a heavy metal despite chemically belonging to the semimetal group. He Risk level which implies its presence depends on several factors, for example on the fact of the molecular structure in which it occurs (its organic structures are less dangerous than the inorganic ones). And, of course, it depends on the dose. The risk posed by this element has to do with its accumulation in our body. Its presence can lead to problems in development among the youngest, and in adults it has been related to skin disorders, bladder and cancer of lung. 28 Rice varieties. The team responsible for the study analyzed the effects on the rice of an average increase of 2º Celsius at the temperature and the associated increase of atmospheric CO2. Did it in 28 varieties of this cereal, modeling the evolution of its inorganic arsenic content over 10 years. From there, the team estimated the health impacts that this accumulation could produce in the populations of seven Asian countries around 2050. The result: a drastic increase in cancer cases and especially the cases of bladder cancer. Among the countries studied, China would stand out, which could see more than 13 million new cases of cancer associated with arsenic exposure. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine The Lancet Planetary Health. Not everything is lost. In its study, the team raises some possible adaptation measures dedicated to reducing the future impacts of this problem. The team suggests hybridar varieties of plants to favor those that absorb less, introduce improvements in soil management in rice fields, and improve food processing practices. They also propose consumer -centered measures: education and minitor, they explain, they could play an important role in reducing the impacts of this growing presence of arsenic. The occasional alerts we receive regarding arsenic levels in rice could make this more difficult, by turning this problem into a “Pedro and the Wolf story”: a non -existent problem that we pay attention today could become a real problem that we ignore in the future.

In the emptied Galicia there are municipalities taking care of gas stations and shops. THE OBJECTIVE: Don’t run out of services

by

The Emptied Spain It is depopulated Spain, but also the one that is emptied from companies and services. Both, the Lack of neighbors And the absence of businesses that cover their most basic needs, are part of the same vicious circle that in the long run the peoples to abandonment. In Galicia They have decided Breaking that loop with a curious movement. To avoid running out of supermarkets or gas stations there are municipalities that are taking care of their management. The objective: that the neighbors should not move kilometers for something as simple as buying the bread. Even at the cost of the City Council itself assume private services. The ghost of depopulation. The depopulation He is one of the great ghosts of the rural of Spain. And Galicia is no exception. A few months ago his Consello de Contas He issued A report in which he warned that in the community (especially in the provinces of Lugo and Ourense) there are almost a hundred towns in ‘danger of extinction’, a status that is explained by a combination of factors: a register below the 5,000 inhabitants, a low population density (less than 20%) and more deaths than births. INE himself calculates that in 2021 there were almost 25,700 Gallegos residing in municipalities that do not pass from the thousand registered. According to his nomenclator, in the community there are also around 1,900 depopulated villagesmany of them in Lugo. Only in 2023 it is estimated that the province lost about 40. Other populations are still alive but with a handful of hundreds of neighbors and having lost much in a short time. To name a case, Murasin the Terra Cha, I had 1,151 neighbors In 2000. In 2024 were 600. A vicious circle. We commented before. The localities of emptied Spain do not remain alone without neighbors. They often do it also without businesses that cover their needs. And one and the other, that of inhabitants and services, feed a vicious circle that ends up accelerating the emptying of the peoples. Although there is experts That they conclude that at general “accessibility to services” in Spain is good, especially if we talk about health and education, they also recognize that differences arise when the provincial scale is lowered. A quick search arrives on Google to find Complaints of populations about the public transport or lack of something as simple as bars and shops. And how to solve it? A question similar to that was asked a while ago in Pol and Ribeira de Piquíntwo localities of the rural of the province of Lugo that together barely go from the 2,000 residents. The first, Pol, has 1,542 registered, 27% less than in 2000. The second, Ribeira de Piquín, had about 500 residents, 80% less than at the beginning of this century. Both municipalities share Another featurein addition to the province and a diminishing census: given the loss of basic businesses their respective municipalities have decided to step forward and guarantee the continuity of private services. A kind of municipalization which aims to prevent your neighbors from having to look for life for issues as basic as buying bread. Their cases have attracted the interest of media such as The voice of Galicia either Eldiario. A “municipal” supermarket. In the case of Pol the Consistory he found the risk that The only supermarket From the town, located in the population of Mosterio, closed. Its owner retired and in the absence of relief or other shopkeepers that would like to transfer it, the panorama was complicated for the neighbors who reside there. “No one was interested in carrying it. It was deserted,” explained in December Its mayor, Lino Rodríguez, Progress. The City Council solution: Buy the super To keep it open. It is not yet known How will it manage, through a foundation, attracting a franchise or with an autonomous, but the goal is clear: to guarantee the continuity of the service. “We acquired the entire block, which has an area of ​​about 800 m2, for a total of 150,000 euros,” Rodríguez added In December. The project went ahead with the support of the Diputación and aspires to go beyond trade: Pol wants to recover an old sausage mark and create social housing at the top. At the end of last year the town had already paid 75,000 euros for the premises, it hoped to pay a similar sum of 2025 and already thought about furniture and facilities to serve customers. “We need to acquire the material goods of the interior, such as refrigerators, freezers and cold cameras. But throughout 2025 we will try to prepare the charcería,” He reported. OBJECTIVE: Refers in the town. In Ribeira de Piquín, the City Council has also moved to preserve a key service, although in this case the focus is on a gas station. At the end of 2024 the Consistory was in process for rent an already built service area but it carries more than a decade closed The idea is reopen it in 2025 and that the neighbors do not have to move to another town to replace or look for fuel. The project is carried out through the Terreo Foundationparticipated by the City Council, and with support of the Diputación de Lugo, which provides funds through an agreement. The rent will be done through a direct award procedure, Precise Progressand once completed the idea of ​​the City Council is to adapt the station to the regulations to register it. In the budget they also reserve funds to hire full -time personnel who can take care of the suppliers and serve users. Is it an isolated case? No. The gas station will not be the only (or first) project that is promoted with the terreo lever. Before it was launched A fish farma livestock exploitation and even a kiwi plantation. “The municipalities as small as we have many difficulties for the private initiative to come and invest. Hence we have no other option … Read more

I have run for weeks with a Zonense Suunto. It is a spectacular advance for both Marathonians and those who just want to lose weight

by

In recent weeks I have run a few times with a Suunto Race On my wrist next to a pectoral heart rate. Was necessary to try Zonense, the novelty presented a few months ago by Suunto. I wanted to understand her well and try her for myself. The truth is that it is an inventazo. What exactly Zonese is? Zonese is Suunto’s new technology to measure our intensity during exercise. The usual thing is to count pulsations per minute, but Zonese analyzes the Heard rate variability (VFC) To determine, in real time, how our body is responding to effort. The VFC is the variation in time between each heartbeat. Not all beats have exactly the same temporal separation, and these small variations contain valuable information on how our autonomic nervous system is working. High variability usually indicates a good state of recovery, while a low variability indicates fatigue or stress. The interesting thing is that This VFC changes during the exercise very specificly according to the intensity with which we work. And it is just this relationship that Zonese takes advantage of an algorithm called DDFA (Analysis of dynamic fluctuations without a trend) to determine in which metabolic area we are training. And that serves to optimize anyone’s training. Either an expert athlete who wants to increase his performance, or either a person who simply wants to go for a walk to lose weight and wants to do it in the optimal way. Three areas that change everything The training areas, or heart rate, are five, although according to whom you ask (including sports watches manufacturers) can give you six or seven. Zonense simplifies training only three colors: Image: Xataka. Green (aerobic zone). When your body is working mainly with oxygen and fats as fuel. It is the ideal zone for long training, recovery or fat burning. Your body could be kept here for hours. Do you want to go for a walk to lose weight? This is your area. Do not stay below or above. Yellow (anaerobic). Your body begins to use more glycogen and begins to produce lactate, although it can still process it. It is the “threshold” area, where performance improvements are important, but you can’t stay here for too long. Red (Vo2max). You are above your anaerobic threshold, your body produces lactate faster than you can eliminate. It is where the greatest adaptations of power and speed are achieved, but you can only maintain this effort during short time spaces. He Vo2max It is the maximum amount of oxygen that your body can process during intense exercise, is what measures our aerobic capacity. Why Zonese needs a heart rate A key aspect of Zonese is that it requires a heart rate. The optical wrist sensor that incorporates the watches is not enough, and there is a scientific reason for it. Optical sensors They measure the pulses by calculating changes in blood flow by lightbut They cannot accurately detect the exact intervals between beats nor the small variations necessary for the VFC analysis during the movement. Chest bands, however, directly detect the electrical impulses of the heart (such as an ECG), providing the necessary precision for this advanced analysis. In my tests I have used the Suunto Smart Sensor. It would be much better not to have to use it and limit us to the clock, but if these bands maintain their popularity it is for something: they are more reliable, precise and complete. My experience The first time I went to run with Zonense, I planned a 10 km training at a soft rhythm. Normally, based on my heart rate, I would run at about 5:30 min/km to keep my “aerobic zone”. However, after the initial 10 minutes that Zonese needs to calibrate (establishing your metabolic baseline of the day), the clock showed me that it was in yellow (anaerobic), despite the fact that my heart rate was just 145 ppm, which would traditionally consider as my area 2-3. It turns out that last night (several, in fact) he had slept badly and also came from three consecutive days of intense training. My body was telling me, through Zonesethat although the pulsations were not extremely high, it was metabolically working harder than traditional numbers suggested. I reduced the rhythm at 5:47 min/km and, indeed, I returned to the green zone. The training was much more pleasant and, surprisingly, the next day I felt quite recovered, something that would probably have happened if I had maintained my “normal” rhythm. On another occasion, after a week of rest, Zonese allowed me to maintain a faster rate (5:15 min/km) remaining in the green zone. My body was cooler and could work at greater intensity without entering anaerobic areas. Image: Xataka. This type of Personalized and dynamic adjustment is what makes Zonense so valuable. They are not just numbers on a screen, it is real information on how your body is responding to exercise at that precise moment. Another striking example: the shoes. With which I used for filming I marked VO2Max from 4:47 min/km, while when I went to flying I had to go down to 4:19 min/km to enter that area. Not only for elite athletes One of the biggest surprises has been to verify the usefulness of Zonese for people who are barely starting to play sports or simply go for a walk. It is common for a beginner to feel overwhelmed at the explanations of cardiac areas and to remove calculations from its theoretical maximum frequency. For this type of users, Zonese says something much simpler: “Stay in green”. With that simple instruction, the user will walk at a pace that maximizes fat burning without entering areas of greater intensity where the body begins to use glycogen. And it will avoid going too slow. And best of all: being real -time and calibrated information after ten minutes of activity, that user may be in the green or yellow zone depending on the day even if … Read more

If you have ever wondered what would happen if 99% of a country will run out of electricity, Chile has lived it in their flesh

by

99% of the population of Chile remained in the dark. A failure in an electric transmission line caused the biggest blackout from the country in 14 years from 3:15 p.m. until after 23:00 hours. Short. Chile has seen the electricity supply interrupted in 14 of the 16 regions, from the Arica northern to the southern of the lakes in an extension of more than 3,000 kilometers that the nation travels, According to the National Disaster Response Service (Senapred). For eight hours the Chilean country was without light or connection and until midnight did not return, so the government authorities They had to decree The state of emergency and a curfew (between 22.00 and 6.00 in the morning on Wednesday) and convene the disaster risk management committee (Cogrid). The chaos. The blackout that surprised at noon generated a huge circulatory chaos, prevented banking, financial, mining and commercial activity. In addition, it put hospitals and other essential services at risk, and has already been reported at the time of writing this note The death of three electrodependent people. On the other hand, the images of the Metropolitan Region Metro Without light and People returning on footthey are already viral in different social networks. To this media have confirmed people from the Bío Bío region, Valparaíso and the city of Santiago de Chile who had to send SMS messages to communicate, the information came through the radio and the little internet (it was intermittent) reached them to use to use The X app (old Twitter), since it was the only one that worked. Regarding the coercive measures of the government, it mobilized thousands of security agents of the Military Police of Carabineros and the Investigation Police (PDI), According to the Undersecretariat of Defense. For the moment There is no record of acts vandalism or serious accidents, but the national air traffic with delays and agglomerations has been affected. The blackout. The president of Chile, Gabriel Boric, He went to the country at 10:00 p.m. from the Palacio de la Moneda by contingency before the power of electricity supply. In this speech to the population, Boric explained that the blackout was the product of A fault of the Isa Interchile company and there was a massive cut in almost the whole country. From the National Electric Coordination (CEN) they reported that the interruption of the electricity supply was produced by a disconnection of the 500 kV transmission system in the North Chico. Through this situation, the service recovery plan was activated to reestablish electricity, but it did not begin to reach up to 10 p.m. and after four attempts, they had not succeeded. The president of the Board of Directors of the CEN, Juan Carlos Olmedo, confirmed that disconnection It was due to “an unwanted operation in the protection and control systems of the line (which the Isa Interchile company manages).” And he explained: “The electronic systems did not operate the way it should have operated.” The vulnerability of the system. Isa Interchile, a subsidiary of the Colombian company Isa, plays an important role in electric transmission in Chile, being responsible of infrastructure such as the New Maitencillo Line – New Pan of Sugar. The electrical system in Chile is composed of different private companies that generate and distribute, but a failure in these infrastructure can affect the electricity supply nationwide. The recent blackout has shown The vulnerability of the electrical system Chilean, no It is obsolete. However, when concentrating into a few hands and an interruption in a key infrastructure can generate chaos nationwide, highlighting the need to reinforce Resilience and diversification in the country’s electrical system. Affected a pillar of the economy. The world’s largest copper mine, hidden from BHP, ran out of electricity, confirmed to Reuters. Also the state copper mining company Codelco confirmed in a statement to media That all their mines were affected, leaving the largest, the Lieutenant and Chuquicamata, without electricity, while the smallest mines could partially operate using support generators. Similarly, the Antofagasta Minera was able to continue working. A day after the blackout. Recently, Interior Minister Carolina Tohá, has announced at a press conference that the government has raised the state of exception by catastrophe, together with the curfew. However, the minister explained that the uprising of the measure “does not affect the regions of the country in which we have a state of emergency exception, particularly the Araucanía region and much of the biobío, which are with an emergency state by security reasons, this does not affect the deployment of military personnels that we have on the border (north). ” Image | Pablo carved Xataka | There are so many Australians with solar panels in their roofs that the electricity grid has been one step away from the abyss

There is a challenge to run seven marathons in seven days worldwide. And a Spanish with eight children is sweeping

by

In the world of sport there are demanding challenges, difficult, difficult, extreme challenges and then delusional challenges and within reach of physicists (and minds) with a iron resistance, such as the one he has decided to assume Estefanía Unzu Ripollbetter known in networks such as ‘Verdeliss’. Of 39 years and mother Outcutuplethis pamplonesa has proposed to end Seven marathons. The surprising thing is how you want to do it: the seven 42 -kilometer races are held in consecutive days… and in different parts of the planet. It has already begun. And he is not going wrong. Figure issue. Yes, the numbers are correct. All. Verdels is 39 years old, eight children and is embarked on the challenge of completing seven marathons that are held over seven days in seven different places on the planet. And by different we do not refer to small borders. No. The races that have already completed were held in Antarctica, Africa, Australia and Asia. The idea is to continue with Europe, South and North America. And all this, we repeat, in a period of Only 168 hours. Why’s that? There are several answers. If the question is why completing seven marathons in those seven places for seven days, the answer is simple: they are part of an international challenge that has already Some years celebrating, the World Marathon Challenge. The test has a limited number of squares and this year is celebrated over 168 hours in Antarctica, Cape (Africa), Perth (Australia), Dubai (United Arab Emirates), Madrid (Spain), Fortaleza (Brazil ) and Miami (United States). When they ask Verdeliss why he has decided to submit to such a test (and of course, it is something that They have asked him During the last weeks) she replies that he seeks to “live life intensely” and enjoy without the fears limited. Your participation It also has a solidarity component. As I explained recently At 20 minutes, he wants to raise funds for the investigation of a rare disease, the Menke-Hennekam syndrome. Verdeliss herself is in contact with Claudia’s mothera girl who suffers from it. Hard test, good results. The challenge is still underway and he has several days left to finish, but for the moment the Navarra is doing well. Quite wellin fact. In Antarctica he crossed the goal after 3 hours, 38 minutes and 53 secondsin Cabo del Cabo he did it in 3 hours, 10 minutes and 14 secondsIn Australia he toured almost 42 kilometers in 3 hours, 10 minutes and 30 seconds And in Arab Emirates completed the challenge in 3 hours, 9 minutes and 46 seconds. With such brands the Spanish has not only managed to finish all the races, but even becoming the first woman to reach the finish line or even getting the men who compete in the test. Ahead they have three races: that of Madrid, which is celebrated today, and that of Brazil and Miami, which it will face throughout Wednesday and Thursday to complete the circuit. “I have carbonized skin”. That meets its objectives does not mean that the extreme challenge is not taking its toll to the Navarra athlete. In his Instagram profile he has been recounting for example how he has encountered stomach problemssome difficulties To rest aboard the “military” plane in which they travel between continents, Discomfort in the quadriceps and also some other unforeseen. “My only discomfort is that I have charred skin … the rush is not good advisors and I forgot to apply the sunscreen,” I wrote From Cape City. Although Verdeliss has been running and has already achieved some notable feat, such as becoming Champion of Spain 100 km, in January I recognized to The country that the new challenge would force her to face the unknown. “I have run 27 marathons in 24 months, but this time one of them is extremely cold in Antarctica. I have never experienced such low temperatures, or running with some nails in the shoes.” Beyond the seven marathons. The challenge of the seven marathons in seven days has given him even more visibility, but the truth is that Verdeliss has been used to be under the spotlights. On Instagram, where he shows his facet as a athlete and mother of eight children he adds around one and a half of followers and on YouTube it has 2.1 million of subscribers.
