Chen Ruilong: Running is running, not just running.

As a former navy, Chen Ruilong has a strong physique. In 2008, at the invitation of students from Naval Command and Staff College of National Defense University, I participated in the half-horse race of ING Taipei International Marathon. He said that after seeing the road map sent by the organizer, he felt unwilling. He thinks he should be able to run the whole horse. So, unyielding, he signed up for Marseille two months later. Chen Ruilong said that in the process of running the whole horse, he experienced unprecedented pain. I was too tired to walk, but I was afraid of being locked up, so I had to start over. At the beginning, I was sore all over and didn't listen to my boss, just like an old man in his seventies and eighties. However, the happiness he felt after running to the finish line and winning the medal made him addicted to it. He said that this is to gain spiritual wealth through physical pain; What you get through hard work is more enjoyable than what you get for nothing.

Super Ma Yong Chen Ruilong fell in love with running. Feet are means of transportation. Since he fell in love with running, Chen Ruilong has regarded his feet as a means of transportation. Before that, he worked in Keelung and his home was in Wu Xiu. On vacation, he traveled from Keelung along Taitai Line 2 to Wu Xiu via Danshui, and it took him 9 to 12 hours to run 70km home. Sometimes, he will leave Keelung at night, run to Jiaoxi along Taiwan Province Line 2, arrive at about dawn, soak in hot springs there, and then return by bus. He also spent three days running from Keelung to Taichung twice. Chen Ruilong believes that the most needed psychological quality when running is to endure pain and loneliness and enjoy it; You must also be calm and move forward at your own pace. It is difficult to be a successful runner if you always want to surpass others or have mood swings. And his more than ten years of experience on the ship has given him the characteristics of being able to withstand loneliness and bear hardships and stand hard work.

In order to dream, practice hard and leave time for himself, Chen Ruilong retired from the army in September 20 14, and decided to continue running in the past few years, hoping to run farther and longer, but there is no limit. He said it was to give himself a dream and spend time and energy to practice it. On August 20 15, Chen Ruilong completed the 43-day 1 2800km Tour de ultramarathon, becoming one of the only 1 2 finishers in the world. In the process of running, he experienced a lot of physical and mental pain, but he said, "running is not too painful." The strong desire to finish the game overwhelmed the pain and kept him going to the end. Chen Ruilong said that running is running, not just running. Running is a very simple thing, but as long as you enjoy the pain and happiness in the process, it will be the nutrient of life. Running can also be given meaning. For example, when you reach a certain goal, it will serve as a link between the past and the future, because once others see a successful case, they will want to challenge it. For society, running can also be used to show willpower, give others some inspiration and positive influence, and it is a way to give back to society. For example, when he participated in Soochow University's 24-hour International ultramarathon Competition on 20 14, he met a student who was in charge of flop. Seeing his efforts, this classmate decided to take part in the 100-person cycling race around the island of Soochow University, and later decided to apply for graduate students, which is a good example. 2065438+March 2006 1 1, Chen Ruilong even ran from Xiamen to Beijing, and started the "2300-kilometer dream journey": starting from Xiamen Island in Fujian, Chinese mainland, across the Golden Gate, passing through Ruijin, Jingdezhen and Hefei in Anhui, Xuzhou in Jiangsu, Peixian in Hebei, Dezhou and Bazhou in Hebei. He said: "For me, (this challenge) is not only a running, but also a difficult spiritual journey, and a profound friendship with friends in the same industry who support and encourage each other. After the completion, it did not bring me any joy and joy, but left me with a sense of loss and a deep memory of endless pain of various muscles in the process. Many years later, it will be the part I miss most, and it will also be a memory that goes deep into my life. 」

Running is the best way to know the world. In addition, running is also a way to enrich Chen Ruilong's heart. He said that reading or taking Wan Li Road can enrich his mind, while he chose Wan Li Road to travel around with his eyes and body. Before he fell in love with running, he often went to the vegetable market by bike and carefully watched the life of the vendors. Now, he runs around the street, and whenever he sees interesting people and things, he will stop and feel like he is on a life trip. For example, on Taiwan Province Line 2, Tangzi Store near Cao Li Bus Station is where he often buys drinks and supplies. Usually, he will sit by for a few minutes and chat with his master's grandmother. Once, on holidays, grandma invited him to eat grass and dates. He once saw a junior high school boy observing Jupiter with a telescope near Danshui. He stopped to talk to the boy and walked into the betel nut stall run by the boy's family. He saw all kinds of insect and crab specimens hanging on the wall, which was amazing. On another occasion, he met an American who came to Taiwan Province Province to ride a bike in Jinshan. After drinking beer and chatting for a while in front of a convenience store, they left separately. Unexpectedly, the two met again at Tamsui MRT Station, and he invited the man to a seafood restaurant for dinner. He said that this innocent feeling without intrigue was really charming. Chen Ruilong said that as long as you put aside the shackles and dare to take risks, there are infinite possibilities; Nothing can't be lost, and you will get something if you pay. He hopes to inspire everyone to pursue their dreams with his own examples.
