“At first, the outcome was the same as before; leave Avinguda Maria Cristina towards Plaça Espanya. From there, it’s a fairly slight downhill circuit, which makes it ideal for achieving personal bests. From there we can wonder how to deal with the race. In the first kilometer you have to go carefully. Since it’s downhill, we can get too excited and crazy, and the most important thing is to regulate our speed a little. If we have a certain mark and we want to surpass it, it is best to run two or three seconds faster in the first kilometer and then find the speed of our journey and face the last kilometer with full guarantee,” explained the athlete of Olympic Carles Castillejo, an athlete. , about 5K. who represents like few others the spirit and DNA of Bouin, since he started competing with Bouin when he was young and over the years he has competed with everyone of the category, including the professional, who have achieved success in many of them.
