The Standard Chartered Marathon finally resumed this morning (24th) amidst many difficulties. Although the weather has gradually cooled down in the past week and some areas have seen light rain, it has not stopped the interest of the runners.
Many experienced runners said that due to the impact of the epidemic and the hot weather, they did not perform well in the "Devil's Track".
All races this year have to go through the Western Harbour Crossing. Many runners believe that the tail section is the most difficult to climb, which leads to unsustainable stamina.
Reduced practice under the epidemic: Don’t dare to run off the street and stop for half a year without practice
This year, many runners still hope to challenge the Standard Chartered Marathon, which is described as the "Devil's Track".
Mr. Chen said that his performance was not satisfactory. Due to the reduced frequency of practice due to the epidemic, he also needed to wear a mask to run. He was not prepared enough: "Practice less, don't dare to run off the street. After canceling the left two years ago, he stopped practicing for half a year. "When asked what part of the race course was the most difficult, he said that it was the West Tunnel not far from the starting point. Because it was an upward slope, the result was too hard and the stamina was unsustainable.
Is it hardest to halve the frequency of wearing a mask?
The West Tunnel is going uphill!
Mr. Zhang said that due to the hot weather, his performance was poor: "Because it is hard to practice for less and left, I practiced more before the epidemic, but it is necessary to wear a mask!" So the practice was reduced from twice a week to once a week. .
Mentioned what was the most difficult stage for him, Mr. Zhang replied without hesitation: "The Western Tunnel is going uphill!"

Runner Yan has the habit of running all the way. Two or three months before the race, he hurriedly stepped up his practice. He practiced about 3 to 5 times a week, including short and long distance exercises.
It’s uncomfortable to wear a mask at the beginning, so get used to it slowly.
But because there was a race, she was "excited!" "The weather in the early days was not wrong, and after the sun came out, it would be hard to go left." "Because the 10km race is on the same track as the half marathon, and both participants are on the same track. Hard work."
