SPRINT training kicks off for Chow & Lo - 2016

“I have already registered for the whole SPRINT series as no swimming required this year. I know many loved the river part, but I am just not that into swimming so this year’s course is perfect for me,” said Fion Chow, a local female participant who is looking forward to the Bonaqua LIFEPROOF Action SPRINT series.

How will you train for the race?

I tend to hit the gym three to four times a week to train for the race. Each time I would either run half an hour on the treadmill or do some weight exercises for 45 minutes.

你是如何為比賽做準備?

在比賽前, 我通常每星期都會做3-4次的健身訓練。每次都只在跑步機上練跑半小時或者進行45分鐘的重量訓練。

Why did you choose SPRINT series?

I have already registered for the whole SPRINT series as no swimming required this year. I know many loved the river part, but I am just not that into swimming. I also haven’t joined any long distance races since 2014 MSIG Lantau 50 & HK50 so I’m trying to get back to the game by signing up for some short distance races like SPRINT first. Hopefully I would be able to finish the race before the cut off time. I always keep my eyes on Action Asia Events’ website for race updates.

為什麼你會參加Bonaqua LIFEPROOF動感亞洲越野跑步?

我知道有很多人喜歡游泳環節，但是我並不喜歡游泳，所以今年的比賽取消了游泳環節, 反而更有利於我的發揮，我更一早報了整個短跑系列賽。加上以前參加過2014 MSIG HK 50 和2014 MSIG Lantau 50, 希望能藉此回覆以往的狀態, 再次挑戰長途的越野賽事! 願我能夠在比賽當天, 於指定時間內順利完賽。

我也會經常留意動感亞洲活動的網站, 看看有什麼感興趣的賽事!

“I did a recce run already. I’m also in a training program and run at least twice a week,” said Tsun Hei Lo, a young trail runner on how to prepare for Repulse Bay leg of the Bonaqua LIFEPROOF Action SPRINT on 14^th of February.

Did you do any pre-race training?

I don’t have any specific pre-race training, but I followed the course map and ran through the whole course already and really enjoyed the course. Also, I take a running program and do running two to four times a week based on my coach’s instructions.

有做任何的賽前訓練嗎?

我並沒有特定的賽前訓練, 但是我已經依照賽事地圖提前跑完了整個比賽路線。另外, 我也會聽取教練的意見, 每星期練跑3-4次。

When did you start to run on trails? Is it your first time to join the race?

I have done trail running for almost four years. I competed in both long and short distance races. The longest one is a 100km race. I’m excited about the coming SPRINT series and already registered for the next one - Bonaqua LIFEPROOF Action SPRINT Discovery Bay. I would certainly enjoy it more if the weather is great on the race day but nobody can control that and it wont bother me.
