我的長跑故事

d_drifter

我叫史提芬，從中學開始玩長跑。我玩長跑因為以前一個好朋友帶我去，絛友仲會係開跑前同我講 "跑羸我，請你食一個月Lunch" First ever race was a half marathon race in brisbane, of coz I can not ran faster than him la. . he was doing 1hr25 average, but my first race was "DNF"
My first time that finiahed running a half marathon was around 2hr20mins and i could not "feel" my legs for two days.. . and then i started doing all the 10km/8km race locally, everytime I will use my full speed to run. First few races, I didnt finished it within 1hour but I didnt give up. Everytime I go out there, I try my best to kill my PB, push myself really hard. Nowdays I can do 10km at average pace around sub 40mins and if I am really trying my PB is 35/36mins. After I got myself to do 10km in 40mins easily, then I push myself into half marathon again. First race I went back to half marathon, it was Gold Coast Half Marathon 2002 with the time 2hr9mins, but after that race I reallised its not becasue my legs arent strong enough. It was I dun have enough fuel inside my body to run 20k with that speed. Then I went to gym, run uphill/downhill, run up the stairs in some 30/40 floor buildings, play basketball/soccer/swim/bike. In 2007 May, I got my new PB at 1hr20mins and 2008 my PB broken again with 1hr13mins40secs.
and also I do Triathlon as well.

thank you brother

nope. . .
I am not in any club beside I am running under the name of "University of Queensland", they do have a trainer there but arent that helpful. I am just a self learned runner, I learn from the actually race. Over the years, I learned how to control my pace, how to get the person in front pressure, how to use my speed  etc. . . . .
but yeh, not looking to join any running club that actually force or ask people to go to weekly trainning. I rather do my own trainning after work at night.
My selfed trainning lessons are pretty hard as well. . .
