越野達人黃浩聰向Bonaqua C3fit動感亞洲越野跑步系列賽 – 愉景灣站跑手分享越野故事

「一場比賽裡有高低起跌，人生亦有高低起跌。克服困難，永不放棄。」

 

是什麼激勵您開始越野跑？

我在消防員的工作中鍛練出良好體能，在同事鼓勵下接觸跑步，啟發出跑步的潛能。起步初與路跑，一年後參與越野跑發現自己愛上這運動。除了追求運動表現外，亦從越野跑之中悟出很多人生道理。

越野跑對您的生活帶來了什麼改變嗎？您是如何平衡生活、工作和跑步？

從長距離比賽悟出人生道理，長距離比賽中有艱難的時刻，有時走快了，令自己受苦。目標放遠一點，放鬆一點，最終能更快到達終點。

一場比賽裡有高低起跌，人生亦有高低起跌。克服困難，永不放棄。

說到平衡家庭和跑步，每個人一日都只有24小時，想要走得更遠，就要帶同家一起，鼓勵家人參與我喜歡的運動，令他們了解我更多。造出花一個時間獲得多項效益（訓練、家庭時間、家人健康、培育兒子潛能）。但最後走到很遠很遠，還是要懂得回家的路。

您會如何鼓勵家人，朋友和其他人參加越野跑？

我會買裝備給太太和兒子，幫他們報比賽定下目標，對他們加以訓練，甚至令他們踏上頒獎台。目的都是循序漸進增加他們的興趣，令他們越來越喜愛越野跑，從而更加支持我。

 

What motivated you to start Trail Running?

I have gotten a good physical fitness as I work as a fireman. Under the encouragement of my colleagues, I started getting into running, which led to unleashing my potential towards running.
I started off running on trail, shortly after a year, I have already fallen in love with it. Other than the pursing of my running performance, I have also realized a lot of life principles from trail running.

What changes has trail running brought to your everyday life? How do you balance life, work and running?

From the life principle gotten through races, to the difficulty faced in during a long-distanced race. Putting the goal further and putting the stress aside, and eventually the finish line would be in sight. There is going to be ups and downs during a race, just like we do in life. However, I have learned to overcome difficulties and never give up.

When it comes to finding a balance between family and running, everyone has 24 hours a day, if you want to go further, you have to bring along your family, encourage them to take part in my favorite sport so that they can know more about you. Then you could just spend a certain amount of time to have different benefits e.g. training, family quality time, health and be able to cultivate your children’s potential. However, no matter how far I go, I would still remember the road home.

How do you encourage your family, friends and others to join cross country running?

I would buy running gear for my wife and kids to help them set the goal for each trail running race and train them even lead them to different awards. The main purpose is to increase their interest, make them get into trail running and support me more.
