(Beijing, March 18, 2012) On March 18th, the North Face 100® Beijing International Cross Country Challenge Training Camp opened in Changping. In 2010 and 2010, Japan's cross-country running star who won the 100km men's championship, and Asia's top endurance runner Yukio Mu, trained 100 runners this year at the Changping General Stadium and The North Face 100® track.

Yuki Mu introduced the endurance running equipment

In the hearts of Chinese runners who love endurance, Yu Muyi's name is no stranger to them. With two titles of endurance runners and numerous performances in the Mont Blanc Tournament and the United States Endurance Challenge, Yu Muyi has already had a large number of loyal runners and fans in China. In an interview with a reporter, a runner said: “I love endurance running, this time I came to Changping to participate in the training camp, and I came to Jungmuyi.” There are also runners who said that they were lucky to be selected. It will surely cherish this golden opportunity for learning.

For the active participation of Chinese runners, Yukio Mu said: “I am very touched by the enthusiasm of Chinese players. The development of endurance requires everyone’s support. This is a competition that anyone can participate in. At the same time, out of the room It is also a very healthy state of living to go outdoors. I hope that the Chinese runner can fully appreciate the great charm of nature and endurance running." Talking about this game, Yu Muyi said that she is very pleased to be able to come to Changping again. Thank you very much for the meticulous preparation of the organizers. In 2012, the game's masters like Lin, the addition of fresh faces will make the game full of fun and excitement. I will try my best to achieve the best level, but winning the championship is not the ultimate goal. It is important to enjoy the track. Running, exploration never stops.

Endurance running, as the name suggests, tests the endurance and willpower of the players in the game. In a 100-kilometer race, a reasonable allocation of physical strength is the key to the game. The players have to make a detailed plan for themselves according to their own conditions before the game. Makiki stressed: "Don't put most of your energy on the first half of the game. Acceleration and sprinting on the back end are often more important. Don't be taken away by other people's rhythm or you'll be completely passive. It will be very hard to come down."

Questioning the camp

Qi Muyi then introduced the importance of participating in the equipment. He said that there is a saying in China that “you don’t cut the firewood by mistake.” Choosing a good running gear is equivalent to having a sharp knife and relying on this sharpness. The knife, the end will be far behind? Especially in long-distance running projects such as endurance run, if the equipment is not suitable, it will have a great impact on the final results. “Lightweight, warm, and wear-resistant gear is the key to a player’s ability to achieve good results. There are a number of products on The North Face® that I like very much.” Then she said to her by pointing at her coat. : “Waterproof, breathable and warmth are very important. In the course of the competition, the human body will emit a lot of sweat, and the complex terrain of the mountainous terrain will change greatly, so suitable and comfortable equipment is necessary.”

Players understand the importance of equipment

For many runners who are very concerned about the choice of running shoes, Junmuyi suggested that athletes participating in cross-country races should be able to choose professional sports equipment whether they are professional players or amateur players. In particular, Geng Muyi mentioned the top running shoes of Men's Single-Track Hayasa, the new running shoes launched this season by The North Face®. This running shoe was designed by The North Face® product team in collaboration with Masaki Miki. This running shoe not only allows runners to easily enter the battle, but also provides sufficient support and protection against rough roads. Its lightweight, dexterous forefoot design, mid-front foam rubber, and a carbon rubber outer ring effectively reduce weight and maximize grip performance. These pure running shoes can provide the necessary stability during training or competition, remove unnecessary weight, and have a very responsive response, making them ideal for athletes participating in cross-country races.

In the afternoon, short distance track training was conducted. The players are eager to apply what they learned in the morning to actual combat. After a brief summary of Yuki Kiyoshi, the players started their training. In the middle of the training, Mu Muyi also conducted a personal demonstration based on the characteristics of the track. He said: “This year’s track has been more difficult than last year, such as the elevation of 100 kilometers, and the highest altitude of 750 meters from last year. Increased to 1050 meters, so in this stage, the players must be relatively slow down, breathe naturally, like this." Yukio Tsui once again demonstrated for everyone.

As the first players reached the finish line, the players from the ground have completed their training courses one after another. Yuki Masaru encouraged everyone in the less-skilled Chinese to “be kind”. An interviewer told reporters that since he knew the game, he had always been looking forward to it. The usual office life has kept him away from nature. This training class allowed him to find the joy of running and let him decide A firm follow-up to the theme of "go wild", even in the daily life can run out of the wildest life.
