Todos somos corredores | Ana Lozano | TEDxAlcarriaSt

In this talk, Ana Lozano shows us that running isn't just a fad, but that we are all runners at heart, and that by running we connect with our past and recover our normal physical and mental state, far removed from the sedentary lifestyle often imposed upon us. Always guided by curiosity, this woman from Guadalajara has charted her life's course along two paths: the study of Biology and the practice of athletics. These paths have recently taken her to several countries where she has studied, trained, and competed simultaneously. She chose the path of Biology upon entering university because she felt the need to understand the workings of her own body, those of other living beings, their origins, and their intricate relationships with each other and with the Earth. She came to athletics years earlier, when she started high school, and since then she hasn't stopped enjoying it, improving step by step, learning, and working to become better every day in middle- and long-distance races. Her commitment to a demanding and challenging sport has paid off, as this season she has already represented the Spanish national team several times and won two national medals, becoming the first woman from Guadalajara to ever compete in international track and field championships. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
