Perhaps some of what has changed the most in the Olympic Games in the last almost 30 years! which is what separates Martín Fiz in Barcelona 92 from Diego García in Tokyo 2021, be it the shoes.
Skechers athletes for more than 6 years, both agree on the importance of knowing how to choose the perfect footwear for training and competition as well as being able to take advantage of the advantages offered by the new technologies that they incorporate, such as the carbon fiber in the sole that offers greater reactivity and speed for competition.
MARTIN: It gives me 6 years but… I've already lost count! (Serie)
DIEGO: 2013
MARTIN: 3 in total.
Barcelona ´92 (I did not go to the final and you know why, in the final meters I was slower than the bad horse. Diesel against gasoline, nothing to do.
There I decided to go to the marathon), Atlanta 1996 (Marathon Distance. Shit! Very close to reaching a badge, at the end a chocolate medal or what is the same, an Olympic diploma) Sidney 2008 (Marathon Distance. Sixth place and again a diploma Olympic)
DIEGO: To fulfill!
Tokyo is just around the corner and, at the very least, Paris should be there too. Then there is Los Angeles and… will we ever have Madrid?
MARTIN: Without a doubt with the Skechers Speed Elite with Carbon fiber
DIEGO:
Skechers GoRun Speed Elite Hyper
Skechers GoRun Elite Hyper.
MARTIN: 5.700 (120 Km / Week)
DIEGO: 4.000km. Throughout my life, I have already been able to go around the world doing a march!

DIEGO:

MARTIN:
4 km warm-up + 12 X 3 'recovering 1' at a slow jog. + 2 km slow jog. Entertaining and intense.
DIEGO:

MARTIN:
I warm up for 5 km and then 12 X 400 (1´12 ″ / 400) recovering 45 ″ / 50 ″ at a very slow trot. To finish I do 3 km. very soft. The footwear that I would use or rather that I use is Skechers Razor.

7 or 8 series of 2000m at competition pace with the Skechers Speed Elite racing shoes
MARTIN
I have planted a tree, I have written a book, and I have a son. On a sporting level I have achieved great successes.
The dream to fulfill will be yet to come because I always dream of improving myself but for this I need health to continue running and if it is with some Skechers, it will be the perfect “marriage”!
