Li Yue, 16, Beijing

李跃，16岁，北京

 

I was born with asthma and I never thought I’d be a runner! I only joined my local athletics club because my doctor told me that in my particular case exercise could improve how my lungs work. But before I knew it, I was taking part in local races. As my fitness and my running improved, I started running in national competitions. This year I won silver in the under 18’s 10,000 metres! And who knows, next year I could win gold!

 

我生来就患有哮喘，所以我从没想过自己会成为一名跑步运动员！我之所以参加本地的运动俱乐部，是因为医生说，对于我这种特殊情况，运动可以改善我的肺部功能。但是没过多久，我就开始参加本地的比赛了。随着身体健康状况的改善和跑步能力的提高，我开始参加全国跑步比赛。今年，我获得了青少年一万米长跑的银牌！说不准我明年就能得金牌了！

Not so long ago, I didn’t do any exercise—not even any jogging! Then I discovered an app called Running Power. It lists your performance against other runners in your social network. At first, I kept running just to see my name in the top five. Soon, I found that I was not alone—I came across other runners in the same area running for the same purpose! Now I no longer use the app, but I’ve fallen in love with running, and still do it with my running friends.

 

就在不久前，我还什么运动也不做——甚至都不会去慢跑！后来我发现了一款名为“奔跑的力量”的应用程序。它会按照跑步的表现把你和你社交网络上的其他跑步者进行排名。起初，我坚持跑步只是为了在前五名中看到我的名字。很快，我发现不只是我有这样的目的——我遇到了和我住在同一地区且有着同样目的的其他跑步者！虽然我现在不再使用这款应用程序了，但是我已经爱上了跑步，现在仍然与我的跑步朋友一起跑步。

As a computer engineer, there’s always a new challenge just around the corner! It can be quite stressful at times, though, which in turn makes me feel anxious. To help deal with this, I go running as often as I possibly can. Whether I’m at the gym or on the road, my nervous energy pushes me through mile one. By mile two, the tension has moved from my mind to my legs. By the end of the run, all my stress has disappeared and I’m ready to face the next day at work!

 

作为一名计算机工程师，我总是面临着随时到来的挑战！然而，有时候压力是非常大的，这也相应地会让我感到焦虑。为了缓解焦虑，我会尽可能多地去跑步。无论是在健身房还是在路上，跑第一英里时我还能感受到神经的紧张；到了第二英里，这种紧张感就从大脑转移到了双腿。等我跑完全程，我所有的压力都消失了，我已经准备好迎接第二天的工作了！

This year I entered the Great Gorilla Run in London. This is a programme run by The Gorilla Organization to raise money to save the world’s last remaining gorillas from dying out. Each runner receives a gorilla suit and off they go! It’s a bit hot and sweaty inside the suit, and my legs ache, but it’s a lot of fun. The funniest moment was when someone watching the race offered me a banana—a real treat for a running gorilla! I had a great day out in London, as well as helping to save gorillas!

 

今年我在伦敦参加了大猩猩跑。这是一个由大猩猩保护组织举办的活动，旨在筹集资金保护世界上仅存的大猩猩免于灭绝。每个跑步者都会领到一套大猩猩衣服，穿上就可以跑了！穿着这套衣服跑步感觉有点热，我出了很多汗，腿也跑酸了，但我还是觉得这很开心。最有趣的时刻是看比赛的人给了我一根香蕉——这对于奔跑的大猩猩来说真是一顿美食！我在伦敦度过了愉快的一天，同时也为拯救大猩猩出了力！
