The distance of 42.195 kilometers is the length of the marathon, which is a challenge to the physical limit for humans.
Marathon running can be said to be the ultimate goal and yearning for athletes who aspire to long-distance running. Many long-distance runners take pride in running a marathon.
However, there is a young man from Chaozhou, who set off from Sanya, Hainan on September 12 this year, and today on October 15, it took 34 days and ran 1300 kilometers back to Chaozhou!
During these 34 days, he also took a few days to return to Chaoshan to cheer for the "2017 Shantou Marathon", that is, he spent a total of 30 days, regardless of the wind and rain, the sun, he ran a marathon of 42.195 kilometers a day. Last night, he set off from Jiexi for 100 kilometers and arrived at the terminal station Chaozhou People's Square early this morning!
Who is he? How did he get around for more than a month? What happened?
Arbor takes you to know this young man who makes teochew people proud.
His name is Lai Wenbing, a post-90s, from Chaozhou, Guangdong, is the coach of the Anbu Spark Long-distance Running Team, and the people who know him are called Teochew Runner Mike.
Abel met Mike on a 42-kilometer walk in Teochew late last year.
He only spent three hours that day
What is unbelievable is that after reaching the end, he returned to the same way and ran 28 kilometers to meet the large troops and then ran to the end again.
He told Abel that he planned to run back to Chaozhou from Sanya, Hainan. If you haven't seen his long-distance running skills, no one will believe it. But on that day, Arbor believed he would succeed!
On September 12, he finally took the first step from Sanya, Hainan to Chaozhou. His plan is to run a full marathon every day: 42.195 km!
He was accompanied by hainan runners and the poem he wrote to himself
Not far away, walking non-stop
Run China, Sanya to Chaozhou
Civilization its spirit, barbaric its physique
There is poetry in the heart, looking into the distance, running to the far side
Along the east bank of Hainan, it crosses Sanya, Lingshui, Wanning, Qionghai, Wenchang and Haikou
In 6 days, I ran from the southernmost tip of Hainan Island to the northernmost tip.
After arriving in Zhanjiang by ferry, he returned to Chaoshan to cheer for the "2017 Shantou Marathon" and returned to Zhanjiang a few days later to continue his "Sanya-Chaozhou" run.
On September 26, he began his second stage of the challenge: running from the westernmost tip of Guangdong across Guangdong Province to his hometown of Chaozhou.

Every day, he changes the start and finish of a full marathon
Arrived in Guangzhou on October 4
On October 14, it reached the Jiexi Stone Basin
In the final sprint to the final station, he changed the way he ran a marathon every day, starting from 21:00 last night to 8 o'clock this morning, he ran from dark to dawn and ran the last 100 kilometers!
He said:
The road you choose, with tiredness to go down, the road you have run, the sweat left behind, every step, every drop counts, there is companionship, laughter, communication, harvest, there is also a lonely road, experienced the wind and sun, wind and rain, on the road a person running and running suddenly moved to cry.
Some roads, going down will be very bitter and tired, but not going to regret it, I am not the best, but I am doing my best.

He also said:
Each of us is a practitioner, we are all taking the scriptures of life, we will encounter ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, hold on! Accomplishing one thing in a lifetime is remarkable.
In the past few years, I have been insisting on doing this one thing of running, taking advantage of youth, taking advantage of vitality, time, choosing to be on the road, measuring the world with my feet, the world is so big, I want to see, what makes people grow and progress is not the years, but the experience, in the end, the real important thing is not the years in life, but the life in the years.
Running a marathon a day, the marathon is not just 42.195KM, it is an attitude to life, a commitment, a practice, with the body and soul on the road, meet a better self.
