杭马365故事28|My running motivation

Dr. Jack 杭马

My Chinese is 一个天 and I am from Italy and this is my story. I have been running ever since I was little, running has always been a part of my life. Now here in Hangzhou, it has become something more than just a hobby, and last month during the Hangzhou Half Marathon I reached the highest result of my life. I wake up almost every day at 6 am for my morning run around the west lake, the lake early in the morning is practically magic and gives me the motivation to see it every day so early while most of the other people are still sleeping.

I believe running and especially marathon running help your daily life regardless of how fast you are. Running has always taught me that only through sacrifice and hard work you can achieve great results, this is true for a marathon as much as in life. Indeed, every day must be a marathon from morning to night, and I feel the necessity to do the best I can in everything I do, by caring for every small detail and being passionate about what I do.

This year I ranked second in Hangzhou Half Marathon, it was a great result and the accomplishment of a great journey that started months earlier. However, from the next day, my training stated once again, at 6 am like always, cause the joy of a great accomplishment, should always keep me motivated in striving for the best. In my running as much as in my life, I pursuit perfection, no junk food, no smoking, no alcohol, just hard work, I seek best training, best food as much as best gears, therefore in this adventure Italian brands of TECNICA泰尼卡 and Mico sport have been accompanying me in my best races.

I am looking forward to Hangzhou Marathon 2019, hoping next year I could finally win.
