为什么人们会热爱跑步？基普乔格认为，跑步让人更加团结，当一群人一起跑步时会互相激励，能够让大家产生很好的交流与连接。在张朝阳看来，跑步是一种普适的体育运动，不仅能保持健康，长期跑步会让大脑和思想发生改变，让我们能有更好的身体和精神状态，更好地享受生活和工作。
Recently, Zhang Chaoyang, founder and chairman of the board of directors and CEO of sohu.com, who holds a physics doctorate, had an in-depth conversation with the king of marathons and Olympic champion Eliud Kipchoge on the science of marathon running and the spirit of running.
Marathons not only test the physical fitness and willpower of athletes, but also require the support of a scientific team. Kipchoge emphasizes that this is a system that requires teamwork, where athletes and every member of the team need to be motivated together towards the same goal. "It's a bit like running a business, it requires the right plan, and every detail needs to be executed meticulously," said Zhang Chaoyang.
Details determine success or failure, a concept that is equally important in marathon competition. Kipchoge deeply understands this, saying that even missing a sip of water can lead to a few seconds of damage, weakening the body's energy; even drinking water in the wrong way can affect breathing rhythm and oxygen supply.
Why do people love running? Kipchoge believes that running brings people closer together, motivating each other when running together, fostering good communication and connections. For Zhang Chaoyang, running is a universal sport that not only helps maintain health but also leads to changes in the brain and thoughts over time, enabling us to have better physical and mental well-being, and better enjoy life and work.
When it comes to advice for young people, they both encourage everyone to pursue what they truly want to do, do it professionally, love and respect it, fully immerse themselves in it, which will then spark interest and passion and make things simpler, leading to gradual success.
