50 years old Ma Qingjuan, is the most capable person at the Shandong Jianzhu University. In her own words, running events at school sports meetings are difficult for others to take first.
when it came to running, Mr. Ma was particularly strong: "the last school games, I took part in the relay of two projects between the youth group and the middle age group, because the youth group was not enough, and I went down. I will belong to the old age group next year. The old age group has no running events, but I will participate in the competition and run with the young people. " Actually, attending the school sports meet is just a piece of cake for her marathon enthusiast.
insist on running 20 kilometers per day
in 2007, teacher Ma started running, then on the school playground, running 10 laps a day, equivalent to 4 kilometers. After running for a while, she was mobilized to run a marathon.
"I didn't know how long the marathon was at that time. After knowing that it was 42 kilometers, I was afraid to try. At that time, only 4 kilometers to run, what to run 42 kilometers ah? Ma Qingjuan said.
although she did not enter the competition, she hid the dream of running a marathon in her heart. She insisted on exercising, and the longer she ran. In 2010, she felt that the time was ripe and decided to try and challenge herself.
she did not think of her first competition, she got twelfth, which gave her great encouragement. "The first run was a half marathon, running in Dongying. After running, it felt good. After half a month, I took part in the whole marathon.
since then, Mr. Ma has been out of control and has to take part in seven or eight marathons every year. This year is her bumper harvest year. Up to now, she has completed 3 half marathons and 10 marathons.
in October 11th, she went to Tai'an to take part in the marathon. After adjusting for a few days in Ji'nan, next week is going to Beijing to join the marathon. After the game in Beijing, Ji'nan is the 12 hour super marathon.
so far, Ma has already run 10 half marathons, 34 marathons, and has run 100 kilometers in 2011.
in the absence of a game, she persisted in training, running five days a week, resting for two days, having a long distance of about 30 kilometers a week and about 20 kilometers at the rest of the day. In the long run, it never breaks.
the mental head over young people
perennial exercise, let Ma teacher look a lot smaller than the actual age, the mental head is very good, "my body is very good, usually very little ill, even cold, it is very slight. My colleagues admired me for hearing so much. In their view, 42 kilometers is astronomical, and some of them can't even run 4 kilometers. "
insists on running for 7 years, and she is deeply in love with this sport. "I think I have sports addiction. If I do not run for a week, I will be sick as well as I am sick. I have a rest of two or three days a week. After running for several days, my muscles are too tight and I need to relax.
Mr. Ma has a group of like-minded "running friends" who often share their experience and compete together. Many of these people are similar to her age, and all of them are all good. "If you don't run, it's hard to understand us. We're addicted to running. Many people are scared by the marathon. Actually, it's not that terrible. As long as you have perseverance and keep exercising for a while, healthy people can run down. "
for the 12 hour super marathon that was about to be held at the door, Ma was looking forward to two adaptable training to the venue. "I ran to Forest Park two times, the Mid Autumn Festival ran 50 kilometers, the National Day was longer, and reached 84, and spent nearly 9 hours." 銆�
