Il y a une semaine la #diagonaledesfous avec Esther et Herbert se terminait ! Ce fut un magnifique d\u00e9fi tr\u00e8s technique pour Johnny, et un beau succ\u00e8s pour l’association, avec un peu plus de 1000 euros r\u00e9colt\u00e9s ! Cet argent va permettre d’offrir beaucoup de magazines aux enfants ! Chacun de ces dons a \u00e9t\u00e9 un boost pour Johnny, qui a eu le temps d’en discuter longuement avec ses deux compagnons de route sur les pistes de la R\u00e9union ! Un grand merci \u00e0 vous tous ! Et si jamais vous \u00eates tent\u00e9s de vous lancer sur une aventure similaire \u00e0 celle de Johnny, voici la derni\u00e8re partie de l’interview de Johnny<\/a>, dans laquelle il nous raconte comment il s’est pr\u00e9par\u00e9 !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A week ago the #diagonaledesfous with Esther and Herbert came to an end! It was a superb and very technical challenge for Johnny, and a great success for the association, with a little more than 1000 euros raised ! These funds will allow us to offer many magazines to the children! Each of these donations was a boost for Johnny, who had time to discuss them at length with his two fellow travellers on the tracks of Reunion Island! A big thank you to all of you! And in case you are tempted to embark on a similar adventure as Johnny, here is the last part of Johnny’s interview<\/a>, in which he tells us how he get prepared for this adventure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnny, tu as d\u00fb te pr\u00e9parer longuement \u00e0 cette course\u00a0? En quoi a consist\u00e9 cette pr\u00e9paration\u00a0?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u2019est tr\u00e8s juste, cela fait 6 mois que je me pr\u00e9pare physiquement. Des coureurs plus affut\u00e9s que moi n\u2019ont pas ce besoin, mais pour moi, \u00e7a me r\u00e9ussit. \u00c7a me permet une progression, une augmentation petit a petit des efforts sur le corps (muscles et syst\u00e8me digestif, tr\u00e8s sollicit\u00e9 avec une trentaine de litres de boisson a minima sur une grande course). Se pr\u00e9parer progressivement m\u2019a permis d\u2019\u00e9viter les gros bobos, blessures qui peuvent survenir dans ce type de pr\u00e9paration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

J\u2019ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 courir environ trois fois par semaine en Mars. Puis j\u2019ai fait un marathon en Mai. Ensuite une grande course de 175 km d\u00e9but Juillet, mais sur du plat (le tour du golfe du Morbihan, tr\u00e8s beau\u00a0!) , puis j\u2019ai fais le plus possible de mont\u00e9es et descente dans les Alpes fin Aout (j\u2019\u00e9vitais les chemins pour passer au plus court avec les bouquetins et marmottes\u2026 dur dur et j\u2019allais moins vite qu\u2019un escargot). Mais tout cela \u00e0 pr\u00e9venu mon corps qu\u2019il devait s\u2019adapter et se pr\u00e9parer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ces efforts permettent aux muscles de fonctionner plus longtemps et avec moins de besoins en \u00e9nergie, tout en r\u00e9sistant mieux aux chocs\u00a0! car c\u2019est les descentes qui sont les plus terribles, par rapport aux mont\u00e9es. Comme je n\u2019ai pas beaucoup de collines ou pas de montagne pr\u00e8s de Nantes, je monte et descends le plus vite possible les marches de ponts\u2026 juste avant la course, je faisais 5 sorties par semaine, avec environ 100 km et 10 a 11h de courses cumul\u00e9es. Le plus compliqu\u00e9 \u00e9tait de le faire sans g\u00eaner ma famille.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un dernier mot pour nos donateurs ?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cette course restera un tr\u00e8s bon souvenir pour moi, et courir pour l’association de Esther et Herbert m’a blind\u00e9 pour terminer la course (sans doute la plus hard du monde au niveau technique et environnement) ! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Johnny, did you have to prepare a lot for this race? What did this preparation consist of?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s right, I’ve been preparing physically for 6 months. Runners who are sharper than me don’t have this need, but for me, it works. It allows me to progress, to increase little by little the efforts on the body (muscles and digestive system, which is very stretched, with at least thirty litres of drink on such a big race). Preparing progressively allowed me to avoid the major injuries that can occur in this type of preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started running about three times a week in March. Then I did a marathon in May. Then a big race of 175 km at the beginning of July, but on flat ground (the tour of the Gulf of Morbihan, very beautiful!), then I did as many climbs and descents as possible in the Alps at the end of August (I avoided the main tracks to go as fast as possible with the ibexes and marmots… hard, and I was going slower than a snail). But all of this warned my body that it had to adapt and prepare itself. These efforts allow the muscles to work for a longer period of time and with less energy needs, while resisting better to the shocks! because it is the descents which are the most terrible, compared to the ascents. As I don’t have many hills or mountains near Nantes, I go up and down the bridge steps as fast as possible… just before the race, I was doing 5 runs a week, with about 100 km and 10 to 11 hours of cumulative running. The most complicated thing was to do it without disturbing my family.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A last word to our supporters? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This race will remain a very good memory for me, and running for Esther and Herbert’s association gave me the strength to finish the race (probably the hardest in the world in terms of technique and environment)!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
