What you might not know about Carla…<\/h3>\n

Carla is a PE teacher at the Leopoldo Querol state secondary school in Vinar\u00f2s, her home town. She was out of competition for 3 years, between 2020 and 2022, with a serious Achilles tendon injury. “For almost a year and a half I tried to heal it every way I could, until there was no option left but surgery; in the end I spent three years without competing and I used the time to pass my teaching exams”<\/em>, she explains. She took up athletics because the football club she played for in her town had no girls’ team. She is known as the Lleona del Maestrat <\/i>\u2014 the lioness of El Maestrat \u2014 for the long, curly hair she has always worn in middle-distance races.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":85448,"template":"","class_list":["post-106998","embajador","type-embajador","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/42krunning.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embajador\/106998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/42krunning.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embajador"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/42krunning.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/embajador"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/42krunning.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embajador\/106998\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/42krunning.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/42krunning.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
