Liu Xiang
Liu Xiang is a former runner for the National Athletic Team of China. He said that he was discovered and selected by the national team at 16, he had trained so hard that he got a gold medal for Men’s 110 hurdles in 2004 Athens Olympics, which was almost the best time of his sports career.
He might never think of such great achievement when he was still a little common boy. His running story influences me a lot. He brought honor to our country, and I will learn from him and trust I could also make a difference as long as I stick to my dream.

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!

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.

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!

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!
