For her, despite the union, the women still spend time and energy trying to be respected: “Women move, they create collectives, they go out together. But we need to educate men to be treated with respect, so they can train safely.”
In his report, Honda said it had already suffered from safety issues at events. From the competitor’s point of view, this problem becomes a barrier especially in long races.
“I have had sexual harassment, even when I was with another girl. It is difficult to have to rely on the presence of men to do a workout. This is also reflected in the participation of women in longer races. In shorts, women prevail. But in ultras it drops by half. Probably because it requires more time on the trail. You have to spend hours training in an environment that is not safe,” she lamented.
During the tests, Honda highlighted that some factors, such as change of clothes and limited workout time for womenmake the practice more common among men.
“I don’t know if it has to do with household chores. Men have more time to train. The test is really difficult. A 15-hour test, you want to change your clothes and it’s not as easy as the man. We asked for a space to change. There are several difficulties that men don’t have. It’s very difficult for women to practice mountain running,” she added.
