In Babies and more We have commented on different occasions that motherhood should not be fought with pursuing our dreams and professional and personal goals. An example of this is the athlete mothers, who after the great transformation that their body goes through, not only resume their activities, but also some do so facing great challenges and trials.
Proof of this is Jasmin Paris, a British mother who not only He has participated in a 430 kilometer ultramarathon where he made stops to express milk, but also, he has won and set a new record.
Jasmin Paris is a veterinarian and mother of a 14 month old girl. One of his passions is running and he has participated in different races and marathons. In his blog, he has even talked about her experience when she resumed running after being a mother and the difficulties he faced in realizing that it would not be as easy as he imagined before his daughter Rowan was born.
In Babies and more Weight loss after childbirth: a plan to return to your weight that worksBut despite resuming the exercise after childbirth and having obtained good results, he was having a hard time staying motivated to continue training, so he decided to look for something to challenge her: "So I did something crazy, and I signed up for a race in which I had sworn never to participate, the Spine"The Montane Spine Race is a 430 kilometer ultramarathon, one of the most difficult and hard in the world.
As if the distance were not enough, the race takes place in the English winter, on the Pennine Way, which crosses some of the most difficult terrain to travel in England. At, participants must pass through some sections with strong winds, rain and snow, with thermal sensation of up to 20 degrees below zero.
In the same post in which she tells her experience, she said that the biggest challenge would not be to participate in the race itself, but to express milk during itWell, she is still breastfeeding her daughter and did not want breastfeeding to be interrupted by her participation in the ultramarathon.
But despite the own difficulties, as well as the challenges and challenges that arose during the race, Jasmin came first with a time of 83 hours 12 minutes and 23 seconds, breaking the previous record of it, who was older for 12 hours.
For almost four days while doing the ultramarathon, she made some stops to express milk and rested a little, but in total, he only slept two and a half hours. A characteristic of this race is that each participant decides when and how much to rest.
Jasmin tells, as a joke but also as a real fact, that motherhood helped him a little, because after the birth of his daughter, his sleeping hours were considerably reduced and like many mothers, got used to having very small rest schedules.
More mothers athletes who continue breastfeeding
Jasmin is undoubtedly an inspiration and an example of how much we can achieve the women and mothers of the world, although it is not the first athlete we see participate in important sporting events and at the same time actively continue their role as mother.
Other marathoners or runners who have made news by continuing to breastfeed in this type of competition, are Jaime Sloane, who drank milk while participating in a triathlon, and Sophie Power, who participated in a mountain ultramarathon that lasted 43 hours and in which he made some stops to breastfeed his baby.
In Babies and more, we are mothers, but we also have personal aspirations and we should not feel guilty about itBut These examples are not limited to mothers who run. We also have Irina, the handball player, who breastfed her baby on the court, giving us a beautiful and very natural image of conciliation. Or the Olympic winner Maialen Chourraut, who in the middle of judo competition, breastfed her two and a half year old son.
No doubt all of them are an example of strength, conciliation and maternal love, because Not only do they pursue their dreams by participating in competitions or running marathons, but they also continue to protect and maintain the breastfeeding of their children.
