[Explanation] After nearly half a year, the marathon began to resume in an orderly manner in Chongqing.

On October 17, the Fairy Mountain Marathon fired a shot at the Wulong Fairy Mountain in Chongqing. World champion Sun Yingjie led marathon enthusiasts from all over the country to stage a running spree.

  The Fairy Mountain Marathon certified by the Chinese Athletic Association has two groups, half marathon and mini-run.

Compared with other marathons, the biggest feature of the Fairy Mountain Marathon is that the entire event is deeply integrated with the World Natural Heritage Site Chongqing Wulong Fairy Mountain tourism and vacation resources, and the local beauty is fully displayed in the track plan to create the first vacation marathon in Chongqing.

  On the day of the competition, despite the light rain in the sky and the low temperature, it did not affect the runners' enthusiasm for running.

After the game started, the contestants ran along Ginkgo Avenue outside the Fairy Mountain Visitor Center.

In the first half of the competition, players need to go through multiple climbing stages, which puts a certain test on their physical strength.

In the second half, the track was mostly downhill, and it was a little easier to run.

  After fierce competition, Tang Mingshun from Kunming, Yunnan won the men's half-course championship in 1 hour, 10 minutes and 15 seconds, and Zhang Kaiqin won the women's half-course championship in 1 hour, 23 minutes and 31 seconds.

  Because this is my first game in the second half of the year, I feel that I can get this first place. I hope that this game will be a good start for me this year, and I hope that it will get better and better in the future. I am very happy.

  [Explanation] The Fairy Mountain Marathon is the first marathon to be held in Chongqing in the second half of 2021. The marathon is resumed after nearly half a year, which is very rare for the runners.

When they set foot on the long-lost track, they were very excited, and they all sighed that it was a good day to have a race.

  For all these athletes in the whole country, they have been holding back for a long time.

To be able to participate in this kind of competition, to be able to hold this kind of competition during the epidemic, is a more exciting mood for all contestants.

  [Explanation] This competition attracted the Chinese women's full marathon and half marathon record holder and world champion Sun Yingjie to help out.

Sun Yingjie has more than 20 years of running experience. She opened a running training camp to teach everyone scientific training and running.

  The Fairy Mountain Marathon is a mountain marathon, with large ups and downs on the track, which tests the runners' running ability.

Sun Yingjie, who has extensive running experience, said that one month before running a mountain marathon, you must practice more slope running and strength, so that you can run the mountain marathon with ease.

  Because road runs are run in the city, almost the slope is very small, then our mountain marathon, that is, our fairy mountain marathon is actually running around the mountain road, the ups and downs are relatively large.

So for such a race, I actually told all the runners that they must practice more slope running and strength a month before the race, and train their legs to be stronger, and then run this ramp with ease. .

  [Explanation] At the Fairy Mountain Marathon site, Yingjie Sun reminded some runners who set foot on the marathon track for the first time, must run according to their physical condition, do not follow the pace of high-level runners, do what they can, and finish safely. The game is the most important.

  There are two ghost gates in the marathon. The first ghost gate is five kilometers ahead. Don’t think you should run to the front to take pictures. In order to show off you are going to run with professional athletes. In fact, this time is wrong. At five kilometers.

You must do what you can, but before this, you must make a very full preparation, because the most difficult thing about exercise is persistence. Persevering for a period of time, habit is the future health of you and me.

I also hope that everyone must do a gradual exercise while running on the track.
