Thomas Royet bought a pair of running shoes three years ago, hoping to run a race; however, he didn’t expect that today would be the first time to wear them for the HONOR • Shenzhen Marathon 2022, and he ran so intensely that he didn’t realize the shoes had worn out until he crossed the half marathon finish line. “My shoes are almost dead after running 21 kilometers. I bought them three years ago at the price of 2,100 yuan (US$306), so 100 yuan per km,” Royet joked after finishing the race with a time of one hour, 29 minutes and four seconds. Royet’s friend Richard Howard from the U.K. clocked in at three hours and 36 minutes for his full marathon race.

三年前，Thomas Royet买了一双跑鞋，希望能穿上它参加深圳马拉松；然而，他没有想到第一次穿上这双鞋是到了今年的马拉松赛。他用尽全力，直到冲过半程马拉松终点，他才发现鞋子已经磨损得掉皮。“跑了21公里后，我的鞋子基本已经烂了。这双鞋是我三年前买的，差不多2100元，所以每公里是100元。”Royet在以1小时29分4秒的成绩完成比赛后开玩笑说。他的朋友 Richard Howard 来自英国，他的全程马拉松比赛成绩为3小时36分钟。

The HONOR•Shenzhen Marathon 2022 kicked off at 7:30 a.m. at the Civic Center in Futian District today. He Jie from China and Adula Askale Alemayehu from Ethiopia won the crown for male and female runners, respectively.

延期举办的2022深圳马拉松赛今早在深圳市民中心广场鸣枪开跑。中国选手何杰以2小时13分29秒的成绩夺得马拉松男子组冠军，这是深马举办八届以来首次有中国选手夺得全程马拉松男子组冠军。埃塞俄比亚选手阿莱马耶胡以2小时34分19秒的成绩获得马拉松女子组冠军。

For the two marathon racers who call Shenzhen their home away from home, it was exciting to run the Shenzhen Marathon again after three years of suspension due to the pandemic, especially when running in their home city. “There’s nothing like competing in your home race. It was nice to take part. We’ve had a long wait, but finally the Shenzhen Marathon is back, everyone is excited because suddenly we have this chance to run in our home city, and feel the love of the crowd, your friends and colleagues that gives you that extra support of a home race,” said Howard, who ran the Shenzhen Marathon in 2018 and 2019.

对于这两位把深圳作为自己家乡的马拉松选手来说，在2019年后再次参加深圳马拉松令人激动。“没有什么比在家门口参赛更有意义的了。参加比赛的感觉很好。我们已经等了很久，深圳马拉松终于又回来了，每个人都很兴奋，因为机会突然就来了，你可以感受到沿途群众、你的朋友和同事的爱。” Howard说，他在2018年和2019年参加了深圳马拉松。

Royet is an executive at a French company in Shenzhen and has been living in the city for 17 years. He didn’t miss a year to run the Shenzhen Marathon since he started running in 2015. Royet achieved his half marathon personal best with a time of one hour and 18 minutes in 2019. As an old friend with the Shenzhen Marathon, Royet enjoys running each time and gives a thumbs-up to the race event. “For me Shenzhen is my home. I’ve been here for 17 years, so it’s like running at home,” he said, “The event is very well organized and smooth. We start from the Civic Center and finish at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center. It’s all places I often go to.”

Royet来自法国，来深圳生活17年了，是一家法国企业的高管。自2015年开始跑步以来，他没有错过任何一次的深圳马拉松。他在2019年以1小时18分的成绩实现了他的半程马拉松个人最佳成绩。作为深圳马拉松的老朋友，Royet对比赛点赞。“对我来说，深圳是我的家。我已经在这里待了17年，所以就像在家里跑步一样。”他说，“这项活动组织得非常好。我们从市民中心出发，终点是深圳湾体育中心。这都是我经常去的地方。”

In order to better prepare for this year’s marathon and achieve their goals, the two runners did their best in daily running and strength training. Royet told Shenzhen Daily that he did running and physical training five or six times a week, which featured a 12-week-long training program and workouts with circuit, cardio and resistance trainings.

为了更好地准备今年的马拉松比赛，实现他们的目标，他们两位在日常的跑步和力量训练中尽心尽力。Royet告诉Shenzhen Daily，他每周进行五六次的跑步和体能训练，他有一个长达12周的训练计划，以及循环、有氧和抗阻训练的锻炼。

The two runners see Shenzhen as a perfect city for running and sports in general thanks to its weather, landscape and first-class sports facilities. “Shenzhen is like a runner’s paradise. For example, the beautiful Shenzhen Bay is long enough to train for long distance. You’ve got world-class facilities for workouts in stadiums as well. If you want to challenge yourself, you can go to Nanshan Mountain or Tanglang Mountain,” said Howard.

深圳的天气、景观和一流的体育设施，让这两位跑者认为深圳是一座非常适合跑步和体育锻炼的城市。“深圳就像一个跑步者的天堂。美丽的深圳湾足够长，可以进行长距离的训练。体育场馆中也有世界级的锻炼设施。如果你想挑战自己，你可以去南山或塘朗山。”Howard说。

“It’s good for running because of the bay; not every city is like this. What I like the most about Shenzhen is the weather. It’s warm almost all year round, so there is nothing to stop you from exercising,” Royet said.

“这里很适合跑步，因为有海湾；不是每个城市都能有这样的条件。我最喜欢的是深圳的天气。它一年四季都很温暖，所以没有什么可以阻止你锻炼身体。”Royet说。

Running marathons brings runners a healthy life and takes them to different cities around the world. Over the past years, Royet has run 32 half marathons and 22 full marathon in different countries, and two-times a 100 km challenge in the desert. “I went to Paris, Morocco, Cambodia and Thailand. I like traveling and enjoying local food in different running locations,” he said. Over the past few years, Howard also participated in a dozen of marathons in China and abroad, including the 2021 Xi’an Marathon, Macao International Marathon 2022, London Marathon 2019, and Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2018.

跑马拉松给跑者带来了健康的生活，他们也在世界各地的不同城市奔跑。在过去的几年里，Royet在不同国家跑了32个半程马拉松和22个全程马拉松，并两次在沙漠中挑战100公里。“我去了巴黎、摩洛哥、柬埔寨和泰国。我喜欢旅行，在不同的地方享受当地的食物。”在过去的几年里，Howard还参加了中国和国外的十几个马拉松比赛，包括2021年西安马拉松，2022年澳门国际马拉松，2019年伦敦马拉松，2018年新加坡马拉松。

As the international border has opened, the two runners have ambitious marathon plans for this year. “Now that the borders are open, it’s such great news. We can travel again. Now I’m just watching which race to join and I just want to register for all of them,” Royet said excitedly. Howard revealed that after the Shenzhen Marathon, he plans to go to Seoul in March and to Paris in April. Then he will travel to Chicago in October to complete his third major marathon and then finish his season in New York in November.

由于中国在疫情后重新开放，这两位选手在今年有雄心勃勃的马拉松计划。“现在开放了，这真是个好消息。我们又可以旅行了。我在想参加哪个比赛，我真想报名参加所有的比赛！” Royet兴奋地说。Howard则透露，在深圳马拉松赛后，他计划在3月去首尔，4月去巴黎。然后，将于10月前往芝加哥，完成他的第三个大型马拉松比赛，最后于11月在纽约完成他的今年的计划。
