Imbaleki eyiPro uAllie Kieffer iyakwazi ukubaluleka kokumamela umzimba wayo. Ukuba namava okuba neentloni zomzimba kubini abazondayo kwi-Intanethi nakwabaqeqeshi bangaphambili, umntu oneminyaka eyi-31 uyazi ukuba ukuhlonipha umzimba wakhe yeyona nto iphambili kwimpumelelo yakhe.

"Njengabafazi, sixelelwa ukuba kufuneka sibebhityile kwaye ukuzixabisa kwethu kufanele ukuba kusekelwe kwinkangeleko-andivumelani noko. Ndizama ukusebenzisa iqonga endilwenzileyo ngokubaleka ukusasaza umyalezo ongcono, utshilo Ubume. Njengokuba uKieffer ethe waphula i-PRs-wabeka isihlanu kukhuphiswano lwe-NYC kunyaka ophelileyo, owasetyhini wesibini wase-US ukuba agqibe emva kukaShalane Flanagan-naye wayichitha imbono ephosakeleyo yohlobo lomzimba "ogqibeleleyo" wokubaleka umgama omde.

U-Kieffer-oxhaswe ngu-Oiselle, uKettlebell Kitchen, kunye ne-New York Athletic Club-benze iqonga lokuzithemba komzimba nokwamkeleka kuluntu olugxininise ngokwembali uluvo lokuba iimbaleki zingoyena mntu ukhawulezayo.

Uqhwatyelwe izandla ngokuphandle ngabantu abakwi-intanethi abathe bacebisa ukuba "mkhulu kakhulu" ukuba angaphumelela, engaphelelanga nje ekucaphukiseni (kwaye engeyonyani), kodwa ithumela umyalezo ombi kwabo bangangaweli kudidi lomzimba omncinci. "Ndiva ngathi abantu bayabaleka-loo nto isempilweni! Kutheni abantu bezama ukudimaza abanye ukuba bangabaleki ngokubaxelela ukuba abalungelanga ngokwaneleyo? Akunangqondo kwaphela," ubonakalisile.

Kunyaka ophelileyo, uKieffer ubeke indawo yesihlanu kwi-2017 NYC Marathon, kwindawo yesine kubuntshatsheli be-10-mile e-US, waphumelela i-2018 Doha Half Marathon, wabekwa kwindawo yesine kwi-USATF ye-10km yendlela yobuntshatsheli, kunye neyesibini kwi-U.S. 20km yentshatsheli yendlela. Owu, kwaye uphumelele iStaten Island Half Marathon. Phew!

Ngala mawonga-kunye ne-Insta-vids ekhobokisa kakhulu ebonisa uqeqesho lwakhe oluchukumisayo-zize izityholo ze-doping ezivela kwiitroli ze-intanethi ezicebise ukuba umntu onohlobo lomzimba wakhe akanako ukufikelela kwelo nqanaba lempumelelo ngaphandle kwezixhasi zokusebenza.

Into abangayaziyo abo bangcungcuthekisi kukuba uKieffer unesikhumba esityebileyo, siphuhlisiwe ukusuka kwiminyaka yokusebenza nzima kunye nesabelo sakhe semiceli mngeni.

Ukungabikho Kwenza Imilenze Ikhule Yomelela

Ngaphandle kokufumana ulingo kwii-Olimpiki zase-US zase-2012 kwi-10km, uKieffer wazabalaza ukuphumelela impumelelo awayeziva enokwenzeka. Ukudibanisa ingxaki, imali yokuhlawula umqeqeshi wakhe yomile. U-Kieffer wafumanisa ukuba ufikelele kwisakhono sakhe esipheleleyo. "Ngo-2013, ndayeka ukubaleka kwaye ndacinga ukuba ukwenza iimvavanyo ze-Olimpiki kwakuyiyona nto iphambili-kwaye ndandizingca ngaloo nto. Ndaziva ngathi ndingahamba ndonwabile."

Wathuthela ekhaya eNew York waza waqalisa ukunyamekela intsapho eManhattan. Yintoni uKieffer awayengayazi ngelo xesha: Uhambo lwakhe lobungcali luqala nje.

Ukubuyela kwakhe ekusebenzeni ngobungcali kwenzeka ngokwendalo, utsho. "Ndiye ndabalekela ukuzonwabisa kwaye ndihlale ndisempilweni. Yenzeka ngakumbi," utshilo. "Emva koko ndajoyina iqela laseNew York Road Runner." Kungekudala emva koko, wagqiba kwelokuba ajoyine iqela elaligxininisa iindlela zoqeqesho-ezinje ngeeseshoni zomkhondo-wayefuna ukwakha isantya sakhe.

Njengoko uKieffer wayezijula ​​kancinci kancinci ebuyela ekubalekeni, waqalisa ukuqeqesha abanye, naye. "Ndandinomntu omnye owayelunge kakhulu-kwaye ndandingasakwazi ukuqhubeka naye. Ndifuna ukuba ngumqeqeshi olungileyo. Esona sizathu siphambili sokuba andithathe njengomqeqeshi kungenxa yokuba ndingabaleka naye," Ucacisa. Wanyusa uqeqesho lwakhe njengempendulo.

Ngelixa uKieffer wayesebenza kwicala lakhe lomzimba, ingqondo yakhe yahlaziya, nayo. "Ngo-2012, ndaziva ndinelungelo - ndaziva ngathi [umxhasi] uzokundilanda," utshilo. Ayenzekanga loo nto. "Ukubuya kwam, ndandonwabile ngokubaleka."

Amandla Isantya

Ngo-2017, uKieffer wayefuna ukubona ukuba angasondela kangakanani kwii-PR zakhe zangaphambili. Ngoko ke, ngaphezu kokubaleka, wathatha uqeqesho lwamandla. "Ndicinga [amaxesha am okukhawuleza] kungenxa yokuba ndandinamandla. Ndicinga ukuba amandla sisantya."

Amandla oqeqesho ayebalulekile ekubuyeni kwakhe-kwaye ahlala engenabungozi. Kodwa abagxeki be-intanethi bavakalise ukuthandabuza kwabo ukuba u-Kieffer akakwazi ukubuya ngamandla kangako, ngakumbi ngesimo somzimba wakhe.

"Kulindeleke ukuba iimbaleki ezikumgangatho ophezulu zincamathele zibhityile njengembotyi zetambo kwaye ukuba awunjalo ungasakhawuleza [ngokunciphisa umzimba]. Kwaye akukhona kwi-intanethi kuphela apho uxelelwe ukuba "mkhulu kakhulu" ukuba ahambisane nokhuphiswano. Abaqeqeshi bacebise ukuba wehlise ubunzima, naye. “Abaqeqeshi bandixelele ukuba ndingakhawuleza ukuba ndinciphe, kwaye abanye babo bandinika iingcebiso ezingezizo ukwenza oko,” utshilo.

Ukudlala uMdlalo omde

U-Kieffer uzibonile iziphumo zokulandela elo cebiso liyingozi. "Andikaze ndibone nabani na osendleleni yokuphulukana nobunzima obuninzi ukuze akhawuleze ukugcina isantya okanye ukuba nomsebenzi omde," utshilo.

Kule Matshi iphelileyo, ukwenzakala kweenyawo zakudala kwavela. Ngaphandle kwengxaki enkulu, u-Allie wamamela umqeqeshi wakhe kunye no-Oiselle rep (okwangugqirha) malunga nokuba nomonde ekubuyiseni kwakhe. Ukubuya kwakhe kwaxhomekeka ngokuthe ngcembe ekwakheni i-mileage yakhe-kunye nokutya okunempilo.

Ukondla umzimba wakhe kunye nokubeka ugxininiso ekubuyiseleni kuyeyona nto ibalulekileyo kwimpumelelo yakhe eqhubekayo, utshilo uKieffer. “Kunzima kuba ubona abantu ababhityileyo ngenene begqwesa kwaye beyenza,” uyacacisa. Kodwa uKieffer uphawula ukuba indlela engenampilo ayinakuze ikhokelele kubomi obude. Kungenxa yoko le nto esebenzisa imithombo yeendaba ukukhuthaza abanye ukuba babasele, endaweni yokuthintela, ngokwabo. "Ingcali efana no-Shalane Flanagan, onomsebenzi omde, khange enzakale kuba uzipha amandla." (Idibeneyo: UShalane Flanagan weNutritionist wabelana ngeNgcebiso ngokutya kwakhe okunempilo)

Isenokumthatha ixesha elide ukwakha kwakhona isantya kunye namandla emva kokulimala, kodwa udlala umdlalo omde. "Kuthathe ixesha ukubuyela kule ndawo [ifom yangaphambi kokulimala], kodwa ndiyenzile ngendlela esempilweni kwaye indibeka kakuhle kwiNew York City Marathon, utshilo.
