Serb Tanja pushes the boundaries: I do not give up even when I have open sores on my thighs! (PHOTO)

Had Tanja Stojanovski, our national record holder in ultra-marathon, ran last year in one direction, she would have arrived in London. She managed to run in 10 Ultra-marathons; a total of 1,950 kilometers, at that rate, she would have reached the British capital with only another 95 kilometers to go.

Tanja is a French teacher without permanent employment, she gives classes and works part-time in order to assist herself financially to compete in the strong European and World Championships, because she has no sponsor, but has the requirements, when the sporting rules are in question.

- At the recently held competition on Ada Ciganlija, I ran 120 km in 12 hours, breaking a personal record. I had time to be a little faster, but I left

something for next year, I accelerated in the last two and a half hours - says Tanja with a smile and explains how she will run an ultra-marathon.

- You run in circles, at every break, you answer to the judge. During your break, you can do whatever you want ... eat, rest, change your clothes ... But I do not approach it that way. I come to the race knowing that I will run for the next 24 or 48 hours, and I don't think of anything else. At the race in February on Ada, it was the same, everything I did, I did in the race. I ate on the go, I did not really go to the bathroom, it was raining, I did not want to stop to change, but I just put on my jacket and continued the race, without stopping. Only thing is, I stop for fluids, and sometimes drink up to 24 liters of water.

- I never come to a race with the attitude that this is something difficult, something I can not fulfill. I'm positive, I encourage myself, telling myself that I can succeed, that I've come here to enjoy myself and run. You would not believe what can be done during a race ... Given that I meet with some of the competitors regularly, competitions are an ideal opportunity to chitchat, comment on form, and encourage each other - speaks Tanja of the ultra-marathon as though its a stroll in the park.

- I do not like to make breaks because I do not know how my body will react if I stop, when muscle cool down. It is very risky. That's why I am devoted to the race and run the whole time.

- I wanted to tempt myself and my body, to see how much I can withstand, and I have yet to find an extreme limit. In addition to training, genetics are key. My mother is from Dalmatia, my father from the Sar mountains, and with Serbian defiance, I manage to run hundreds of kilometers even when my whole body hurts, and when, with open wounds on my fingers, thighs and arms I can not!

Even though she eats mostly healthy, basing her diet on fruits and vegetables, she works out daily in different ways.

- Every day I ride a bike on our plain, swim or run around the fields. I do not have a personal trainer nor a curriculum. Desire, hard work and a positive attitude are key to success - ends Tanja, adding that she hopes for help from the Athletics Federation of Serbia, to be able to go.
