I no longer look at the distance, but only put the target three meters in front.

In order to keep healthy, I started running.

The book is also loved by runners and readers…

I am the kind of physique that is easy to get fat.

The journey from 55 kilometers to 75 kilometers became extremely painful.

A few years later, I finally entered the ranks of novelists, successfully lost my excess weight and quit smoking.

That experience was unforgettable for life.

The whole person seems to be in automatic operation.

This experience made me realize that the finish line is just a mark, but it doesn’t make any sense.

During this period, I insisted on participating in a marathon every year, but I only ran once in the 100 kilometer “super marathon”.

On June 23, 1996, I signed up for the super marathon held by the Bank of daozulujian Lake in Beihai, Japan, with a total distance of 100 kilometers.

What is fair has to be considered in the long run.

Close to the last stage of the race, more than 200 people have been left behind.

The first half of the race is the distance from the starting point to the 55km rest station.

I felt like a piece of beef moving hard in the meat grinder.

I just run, run and run quietly, feeling the same as my weekly routine.

I swung my arms desperately.

The most worrying thing was that when an old woman in her 70s overtook me, she shouted, “stick to it!” “what can I do? There’s still half way to go, how can I survive?” at this time, I remembered the tips introduced in a book.

Life is like this: you can stick to what you like, but what you don’t like won’t last long.

At 5 o’clock in the morning, I stood on the starting line with pride.

My wife can’t get fat no matter how she eats.

At 4:42 p.m., I finally reached the finish line with a score of 11 hours and 42 minutes.

At this time, my heart is talking about rushing forward, but my body doesn’t listen.

I don’t feel it.

There’s nothing to say.

I was so tired that I almost collapsed to the ground.

I began to surpass others.

At that time, I was only in my 30s, but I couldn’t be called a “boy”.

After arriving at the 55km rest station, I changed into clean clothes and ate some snacks prepared by my wife.

So I began to recite: “I’m not a human being! I’m a machine.

I decided to write novels for a living in the autumn when I was 33.

At present, marathon has gradually become a social fashion, and running is accepted and loved by more and more people.

When it comes to running, someone always admires me: “you are a superman of will!” to be honest, I don’t think running has much to do with will.

So is life.

I can only move forward!” the spell went round and round in my mind.

The sky and the wind, the grass, the audience, the cheers, the reality, the past – all these are excluded from me.

At this time, I found that my feet were swollen, so I quickly changed into a pair of half size running shoes and continued on the road.

This makes me often fall into meditation: “life is really unfair! Some people can get things without being serious, while others need to pay a lot of money.” but on second thought, those who can keep slim without effort will not pay as much attention to food and exercise as I do, and may age faster.

I got up at 4 a.m.

After a while, some players surpassed me one after another.

I’m afraid I can keep running because this sport meets my requirements: it doesn’t need partners or opponents, nor special equipment and places.

Miraculously, I don’t know from which second, the pain all over me suddenly disappeared.

Haruki Murakami excerpted from what I talk about when I talk about running.

The key is how you run along the way.

every day, wrote for 4 hours and ran 10 kilometers.

When I talk about running, what do I talk about is Murakami Chuncun’s running essay.

This is the age at which Jesus died.
