Salvador Calvo Redondo Salvador Calvo Redondo Age: 50 Nationality: Spain Hola Salvador! Welcome! What made you decide to sign up for the Grand to Grand Ultra? I'm attracted to races that involve strength and suffering. If suffering wasn’t part of them, who would bother to address challenges such as an ultra race, with the investment of time and effort that lead up to it? And sometimes, if all goes well, we learn that what really gives quality to life aren’t things that are fixed and immobile, such as the results, numbers or rankings, but rather what is intangible, when all your thoughts break their bonds, your mind exceeds the limits, your consciousness expands in every direction and you see a wonderful new world. For me, the G2G has all the attractions that a long distance runner or adventure runner dreams of. Your running resume is truly impressive! How long have you been running and what is your training schedule like? I’ve been running for 30 years now, but started racing in 1982. I was not always a runner, I’m a mountaineer and a kayaker. I work as a computer specialist for the government in Leon, a small town in the northwest side of Spain. I am surrounded by mountains, which is ideal for outdoor training. I only work in the morning, so normally I train in the evenings for two to three hours from Monday to Friday. During weekends, I do 8-11 hours of training in the mountains, especially in the summer. If I’m not racing on weekends, I would stay in the mountains all day. During winter, I love downhill skiing.

  • Road, Track & Trail Multiday & Ultra Distance News Issue 10
    Ultrarunning World ROAD, TRACK & TRAIL MULTIDAY & ULTRA DISTANCE NEWS ISSUE 10 www.laultra.in Ultrarunning World | No.10 | February 2018 Q & A With Sarah Editorial Sawyer There’s a strong female presence in the number of race reports and on the covers this month, reflecting growing numbers of women taking part in ultras and multidays in many parts of the world. And who are also happy to share their thoughts and experiences. The range of reports is also quite encouraging with only two 32 coming from England (if we include Wales as a foreign country) and the rest scattered around the world. The UK & Ireland ultra calendar hasn’t been updated yet in Everest Trail time for this issue but the multiday calendar has and features over 400 events and that doesn’t include most 100 milers; there Race are over 130 such events in the US alone. The IAU has given their permission to summarize the news from their website - that’s very kind of them. Coordinating these large scale international events and maintaining the high standards the sport adheres to, means a lot of work goes on behind the scenes and if anyone is interested in helping the IAU, there are elections in the not too distant future. 13 There have been over 1500 views of issue 9 so far which is double what issue 8 had and that is very encouraging. Most of the content in this issue is again, already published on authors’ blogs but there is some original content and I hope that more people will submit relevant material as the momentum grows.

I am left with extensive scarring to my body. Half of my left foot has been amputated. I have lost half of my right index finger and the rest of my fingers are clawed due to scarring. I have lost a large part of both earlobes. I have undergone so many surgical procedures that I have now lost count. There are 1nore to come.
