Liz Robbins, author of A Race Like No Other, once said: “A marathon with 50,000 people has 50,000 stories, and every story is unique.”
Although the story of each athlete standing on the starting line is different, every runner will experience the same thing after thirty kilometers…
I ran so hard, I wanted to die.
When the crowds on both sides of the track shouted loudly: “Abo, come on, hold on.” I’m thinking about how hard I’m running, do you know anything? Have you ever missed a cut? Do you know how much pain I’m in now? You can save your cheap ideas.
Regarding running, I want to share a few short stories.
Running cannot cure emotional injuries
Takeshi Kaneshiro said in “Chungking Express”: “Everyone will fall in love sometimes, and every time I fall in love, I will go for a run, because running can evaporate the water in your body and make me less prone to tears. How could I Are you crying? In May’s mind, I am a very cool man.”
I have tried it, more than once, and the conclusion is that you cannot get rid of emotional pain by running. Wearing the helmet first may just not do anything for me. Once you love someone, you can’t just put it down after running four or five thousand kilometers.
It was Zhang Ailing who made the key point: “To forget someone, you only need two things, time and a new love. It doesn’t matter if you are not sure about finding a new love, at least there is still time for you to rely on! If time and new love can’t make you forget a relationship, forget a person People, there is only one reason: the time is not long enough, and the new love is not good enough.”
Finally, running will not help with emotional illness. If you suspect that you are suffering from a mood disorder, you should seek help from a psychiatric professional as soon as possible.
A negative comment is also the source of emotional illness
I started running to lose weight. Because I was afraid of other people’s eyes, I would only practice running on the street late at night. Once when I was jogging near the Guantang Pier, I was harassed by a group of drunken men and women. They followed me and kept humiliating me, “Damn it, fat guy, is running to lose weight? It’s useless. Eat shit, and you will lose weight the fastest if you eat shit.” After that, I didn’t go out on the street for quite some time.
I have also joined some Facebook running channels to upload and share my running photos, mileage and time. The Internet is full of haters. Even if there are 99 positive reviews, they are still not worth one negative review. My mood is inevitably affected. The negative comments are nothing more than “If you can’t run even 5 minutes of pace, you won’t be able to live in this world!” The seniors who left the comments are all quick-footed.
Another time I participated in the Tin Shui Wai 10km, I had already run a 5 minute pace. A fellow with a 4-point pace might have thought that I was running too slowly, so he blocked his PB. He ran up to me from behind, raised his legs vigorously and stepped forward to laugh at my speed, and then sped off.
Where do these haters come from? I tried to find an explanation and I believe there is an answer.
As your life goes, so will your character.
Haters must have had a good life, so I personally got such a bad life. Why would Eliud Kipchoge take the time to leave negative reviews?
Haters are losers. They have all given in life, probably more than anyone else. However, due to limited qualifications and abilities, or encountering bumpy circumstances, the results of hard work often backfire. When someone does something they cannot do, they turn their resentment into negative comments. Therefore, I sympathize more with haters than fear them.
Stick to yourself and don’t bother with negative comments. I am a runner; your approval is not needed.
This too shall pass
《i may be wrong“The author is Bjorn. Natico. Lindblau (Björn Natthiko Lindeblad) shares a short story in the book.
After the author returned to secular life, when he married his wife, he engraved a unique engraving on his wedding ring. When the jeweler helped the author carve this text, he teased the author and said that this was the least romantic sentence among all the commissions for ring engraving.
What words did he carve?
The author introduces a story that took place in the Middle East in the thirteenth century. A Persian king governed his kingdom with legendary wisdom. Among the people in this country, there is one person who really wants to know the reason why the king can govern the country wisely. He walked for several weeks before reaching the palace, and was finally received.
As the man knelt before the king, he asked: “Your Majesty, what is the secret of your rule of justice, success, and praise?” The king took off his ring, handed it to the visiting people, and said: “You will find my secret in this ring.” The man held the inside of the ring up to the light, and then read the words loudly, “This too, shall pass.”
The author engraved this text on his wedding ring: “This too shall pass.”
Nothing lasts. Everything is impermanent. This is bad news and good news.
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
“Pain is unavoidable, but suffering can be chosen.” This sentence is a self-talk that Murakami heard from professional marathon runners during the race. After all, the marathon is an arduous event, especially at the end of the run, when you are exhausted and your feet are not in control. The only thing that keeps you going is your will to continue self-hypnosis.
What’s more important is that I no longer take running for granted. I treat every time as my last, go all out and enjoy the fun of running. Live in the present, focus on the present moment, and temporarily forget about the “past” and “future”.
Actually I can’t do anything
My first marathon was the Singapore Marathon in December. I am ashamed to say that I did not respect 42.195 kilometers. I could barely complete only one of the four 30-kilometer LSD runs in the preparation schedule. Therefore, I am very confused. Before we reached thirty kilometers, I was already slowing down and becoming an infantryman.
My friend who was on the line together told me “see you at the end” at 10 kilometers and then left. I couldn’t even see his taillights.
I ran from dusk to dawn, and when I turned back halfway, the sun was already in the sky. My body temperature was 40 degrees, and my skin was burning. No matter how many glasses of water I poured on my body, it still failed to cool down. After the cramp in my left foot, it went to my right foot.
Just when I was about to give up, I saw my friend waiting for me thirty kilometers away, counting signs.
Do you want to meet me?
I want to die. I thought I had to go ashore and I should not be able to finish within the time limit.
He didn’t say: “Come on, come on, we’ll be there just around the corner.”
He only said: “Actually, I can do nothing, but I can stay with you.” That’s it, it took us almost two hours to complete the remaining twelve kilometers. Because of his company, I did not give up. There was no DNF in my first marathon in my life.
Tai Po runners, we will miss you forever.
Even now I still can’t accept your departure. In my heart, you have never left us. I will only remember you as a very hard-working, determined, cheerful, positive, energetic and positive runner. Everyone will continue to run with your spirit and use running to continue your faith.
I love running and Hong Kong style is the same as Cantonese hipster. Sub-4 is a lifelong ambition. I hope to make friends through articles and running.
