Getting away from everyone, the public and other runners, panting as little as possible and

reserving energy for 2021

advises the decalogue of the good "wild", aimed at thousands of runners who remain faithful to their habit of finishing the year on the run.

Christophe Ramírez

, director of the medical services of the Spanish Athletics Federation and the HLA Clinic Dr. Sanz Vázquez de Guadalajara has formulated, at the request of EFE, 10 tips for the 700,000 "wild" who enroll each season in one of the 1,200 end-of-year Spanish races.

The list constitutes a

memorial of precautions

that are added to the usual ones of "passing the ITV" (medical check-ups, now more necessary than ever), not doing excesses with alcohol or paying special attention to adequate hydration.

La Vallecana, the most populous San Silvestre in the world

(42,000 runners last year)

, has had to reinvent itself this year, like all

others

, in order not to die: a new circuit, only elite athletes and a virtual version for fans.

The

EDP ​​Careers

application has been created for virtual runners,

which allows them to participate in any race regardless of where they are.

Running a virtual San Silvestre does not exempt the fan from strictly complying with the prescriptions.

You have to train the same

, warm up before the race and then enjoy in full effort to leave the dismal 2020 behind in the hope of recovering the habits lost in the pandemic.

The virtual "savages" who use the application can also

choose a distance -5 or 10 kilometers-

and travel it between 8 in the morning and 9 at night.

This decalogue by Dr. Ramírez is intended for all runners:

1. We are in a pandemic, if you run the virtual San Silvestre, choose a route with little traffic, avoid crossing people.

2. If you run in a group, protect your companions;

keep 6 meters away from others.

3. Also protect those who encourage you, keep the same distance from the public.

4. If you can't maintain a safe distance, put on your mask and slow down.

By panting less you protect yourself and others.

5. At the end of the race, don't let your guard down.

Avoid physical contact with others and put on the mask.

Let's save the hugs for when we win the race against the coronavirus.

6. Celebrate that 2020 is finally over. Celebrate it by enjoying the race, run at a comfortable pace, save energy to welcome 2021.

7. Take care of yourself as you always do;

also keep the distance with meals, respect at least a couple of hours with the intake before and after the race.

8. Hydrate well, drink plenty of water, but keep your distance with alcohol.

You will toast when you get home.

9. Wear the appropriate clothing for the temperature and humidity.

Enough costume we wear daily.

10. At the end, take everything you have brought to the race, your good intentions, your dreams, your desires and also your bottles, your papers, your bags and, above all, your masks.
