78岁的罗广德在马拉松赛道上重启人生
78-year-old Luo Guangde recently completed the Berlin Marathon, clocking a personal best of 5 hours 28 minutes 30 seconds, shortening his previous 'PB' by 16 minutes.
78岁的罗广德最近完成了“柏林马拉松”,创造了5小时28分30秒的个人最好成绩,这要比他之前的最好成绩快了16分钟。Only picking up running at the age of 75, Luo now ranks 28th in the world in the 75-and-above category for marathons, and is the only Chinese person in the group.
75岁才开始跑步的罗广德,如今在全球马拉松75岁以上年龄段中排名第28,且是唯一一名中国人。A back injury had previously limited Luo's ability to run.
背部的伤势之前限制了罗广德的跑步能力。
However, Luo overcame the injury, and - despite some pain - was able to complete the Chongqing half-marathon with the assistance of his twin sons, who were the catalyst for his decision to begin running.
不过,罗广德克服了这些伤病--尽管有些疼痛,他还是在两个儿子的陪伴下完成了重庆半程马拉松,而儿子们是他决定开始跑步的催化剂。He then competed in the Los Angeles Marathon in February, 2016.
之后,在2016年2月,他完成了洛杉矶马拉松。After crossing the line under his own power, Luo decided to go for the "Marathon Grand Slam," which are the 6 largest marathons in the world.
在靠自己的力量冲过终点线之后,罗广德决定为“马拉松大满贯”--即世界上六大马拉松而努力。He competed in the New York Marathon in November, 2016, and also took part in the London Marathon in April, 2017.
2016年11月,他完成了纽约马拉松;2017年4月,他又参加了伦敦马拉松。"I plan to run in two Marathons in 2018, and one in 2019. By then I will be 80," said Luo.
罗广德表示:“我计划在2018年参加两场马拉松,2019年参加一场。那时我就要满80岁了。”
