It was “an empty leap” for the 30-year-old from Marseille, who left without any reference, but he says he was inspired by the training runs provided by Orange Running Team at the start of the event Inspiration and confidence.

We met Bruno Camarelli at the beginning of May. He then began a sixteen-week period of specific preparation that would enable him to participate in National Marathon – Same route as the official Olympic event – ​​August 10th. “Time passes at an alarming rate. I’m not a very good student. I can’t train for two weeksespecially due to career restrictions, “explained the 34-year-old.

“Worry should not take precedence over happiness”

Concerns quickly arise in the face of this involuntary lack of diligence. “I have no reference and no guarantee. This is a jump into the void.” Bruno admitted this, but immediately clarified: “This concern should not take precedence over the joy it generates. At any time”.

Scheduling three weekly classes was complicated, and friends suggested he concentrate on longer outings. But the most important thing is Bruno’s motivation Organized running event orange team running“It puts me back in the saddle.”.

On July 10, more than 9 kilometers were covered, and a week later more than 15 kilometers were covered between Issy-les-Moulineaux, Meudon and Chaville, including the planned Garde Coast (Côte des Gardes) (2.3 km, average slope 5.4%). “I feel good, I didn’t get myself into trouble”.

Optimized support for Team Orange Running

But running 15 kilometers is not running a marathon. Bruno Cammalleri knows this very well, he never went beyond 20 kilometers (last year in Marseille-Cassis). “One coach explained to me that there are three decisive factors in surpassing yourself on August 10th: materials, atmosphere and the goal of being a finisher and winning a medal” he declared.

The goal of the Sportsmarketing.fr reporter is not time, “that is not my ambition at all”. What he wants is completion. While training with Team Orange Running, he worked with the pace leaders to hit a time of around 5 feet 45 seconds per kilometer.

Mimetic phenomena should also play their part. “It’s comforting and reassuring that many of the 20,024 runners who will set off on August 10 at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris will be running their first marathon.” In addition to scheduled training, Orange also plans to support us through meetings, for example in a mental aspect, which also helps” Meet Bruno Camarelli.

Although 33th The Summer Olympics begin this Friday and Bruno Camarelli has made no secret of his joy at being able to experience the event so intensely. in Paris. In the center of the capital. “We’re here and it’s going to be magical. The atmosphere, the mood…, we don’t even realize what we’re going to experience, it’s going to be crazy.” he said excitedly. He also explained that if he participated in this competition, it would be to “build memories for a lifetime.” In short, there is only joy and no doubt (a bit) pain in this 42.195km marathon, not quite like other marathons.
