The beach walk of the beach of Salinas will be holding, on Saturday, June 15, a meeting of sincronizadas.com, the feminine running platform created by EDP. The race, that will begin at 11.00 in the Espartal Sport Center, will count with the international athlete, Paula González Berodia, as ambassador. The Cantabrian will lead a mild training, of 3.5 kilometers, for all levels.

In this training, Paula González Berodia, Spanish Marathon winner, will be giving some advice to “get hooked to running”: “The most important thing is to enjoy the path. If you achieve this, results will arrive. Firstly, one should be conscious of their shape. For this, I always recommend taking a medical assessment. From then on, one should make a plan, with a progressive intensification”, she advanced.

There are almost 11 000 members registered in Sincronizadas.com. 473 have registered in Asturias, and they have organized 31 meetings in the last five months. Thanks to this platform, members can create their profiles for free and get to know women from the same area and with compatible timetables, in order to train together.

“I find it to be a great initiative. It is a platform that promotes running, and I consider that everything that can benefit women is a great progress. Having the opportunity to train with other people is an “open door” towards change, to women having motivation, an encouragement to go for a run”, states the athlete.

The meeting is aimed at all feminine public, regardless of their level. They only have to register here. The meeting point will be the Espartal Sport Center, and the training will be mild, 3.5 kilometers long, covering the beach walk of Salinas. Participants may use the installation of the sport center.

This is the second official training that Sincronizadas organizes in Asturias. The first meeting in the Principality, celebrated last December in Gijón, was led by the journalist Cristina Mitre, and was joined by 76 runners.

How does Sincronizadas.com work?

Sincronizadas.com gives the opportunity to create a runner profile, based on the geographic location and the training areas, together with more technic data like the personal best. From that moment on, runners may create “meetings” and join others already existent to go for a run with other women. The tool allows to filter, considering different criteria like the date, the distance to the city of the meeting, the level… There is also a chat within each meeting, where runners may communicate and exchange information regarding the meeting.

Through the “meetings”, the platform enables runners to organize and get to know other women to go for a run together. There are also “special meetings”, sponsored by EDP, like this one, that will take in June 15 in Salinas, with influencer and/or personalities, where there can be promotions or raffles for the attendees.

And this is only the beginning: the platform will soon be offering new functions like ratings of the meetings and the ambassadors, surveys, an English version, and many other surprises.

EDP, the official energy of sport, is the main sponsor of the most important popular races in Spain. Each year, it supports more than 200 000 people that take part in the more than 30 races in which it collaborates (www.edpmaraton.es).
