In EASSUN in detail, we will get to know our sponsored athletes first-hand through interviews. We will also discover anecdotes and unique stories about their careers. In this sense, the person in charge of inaugurating this new section in our Blog is: Gorka Segura.
Who is Gorka Segura?
Gorka is a 19 year old boy who has been involved in the world of sport since he was very young. First, as a football player, then he discovered mountain running, which he currently combines with obstacle racing.
How do you define yourself?
I consider myself a very optimistic and motivating person.
When did your passion for sport begin?
It all started thanks to my parents. They have always brought me up in a sporty and healthy environment.
How important is sport in your daily life?
Sport is very important to me, as it helps me to unwind and work on the mind-body connection. The best thing about it is that I love it and enjoy it very much.
What is your favourite sport?
El Trail Running.
Why this sport?
It is a sport with which I feel very identified because of the nature and the mountains. I think it goes beyond a simple pace or a simple stride.
What do you like most about it?
The connection with nature without a doubt.
If you had to define this sport in one word, what would it be?
Freedom.
How important do you think the accessories used in this discipline are?
They are extremely important, because it's the safety you take with you into the mountains. We know what it's like. For example, sometimes you can start with sunshine and, halfway through the race, the weather changes completely. So I think trail running accessories are very important.
Which EASSUN accessories have you used?
So far, I have used 3 different running sunglasses: X-light Sport, Avalon and Monster EASSUN.
What would you highlight about them?
First of all, their incredible anti-fogging system and their water-repellent lenses. They are also very light running glasses.
Do you have any recommended places to train that you don't know much about?
I've always trained in the mountains of Rellinars and in the Parc Natural de Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac.
What are your sporting aspirations for the future?
One of my main projects is to start running professionally in the OCR field and also to compete in some important international races.
