第309期：SheRaces越野超级马拉松赛事报告！

是的。

Yeah.

那确实是去萨里路上经过的巨石阵那一段。

That is Bit that's bit of Henge on the way.

和别人一样慢下来，然后停了一下。

Slowing down like everyone else and having a Yeah.

所以那事儿其实特别简单。

So so that was that was really, really simple.

然后呢，那个地方离这儿也就五分钟车程。

And then then, yeah, this place is like five minutes away.

所以丹比的葡萄酒庄园，对，就在五分钟车程外。

So Denby's wine vineyard thing is, yeah, five minutes away.

所以我们后来就开车过去了，特别方便。

So we we then drove there, which is really easy.

就像你说的，我们一下车，突然就碰见一堆认识的人。

And it was just like you said, we got out and it was just suddenly there were just like loads of people there that we knew.

当时还发生了一件特别奇怪的事，我和凯莉聊天，莉安也在场，我们三个人就聊了起来。

And that there was this kind of really weird thing where I was talking to Kelly and Leanne from Monkey Socks was there And all three of us were talking.

结果发现，莉安根本不认识凯莉，凯莉也不认识莉安。

Turned out, Leanne did not know Kelly and Kelly did not know Leanne.

我的天啊。

I like my god.

什么？

What?

你们俩不是在国家跑步展上吗？

You guys are at the National Running Show.

那儿谁不认识你们俩啊？

Everyone knows both of you.

这太正常了吧。

Surely.

你和你的袜子、裤子怎么

How come you and your socks and your pants

都在跑步内裤这一行里。

have been on the the running underwear industry.

没错。

Exactly.

哦天哪，能把她俩介绍认识，感觉真棒，我当时就说，嘿，你们俩认识一下。

Oh my So it felt really lovely to be able to introduce them and just go like, guys.

而且这两家都是小企业，要么是女性主导，要么共同领导，而且都是我们特别喜欢的品牌。

But both small businesses who are like women led or co led who, yeah, that are genuine, like, massive favorites of ours.

这太逗了，我是说，留意一下，说不定会有个Monkey Socks和Nixie的联名款。

That's so funny that they I mean, watch this space for like a Monkey Socks, Nixie

合

co

搞个合作款。

for a co lab.

合作款。

Co lab.

可能会有个联名款。

Could be a co

即将推出。

lab coming.

这真的挺棒的。

So that was really nice.

但接着，天啊，那些Pod Squaders。

But then, God, the Pod Squaders.

现场全是Pod Squaders。

It was absolutely full of Pod Squaders.

比赛设置了10公里、25公里和50公里三个项目。

So you could do it, there was a 10 k, a 25 k and a 50 k.

剧透一下，Monkey Socks的Leanne拿了10公里冠军。

And spoiler, Leanne from Monkey Socks won the 10 k.

她是第一个冲线的。

She was first.

天哪。

Oh my god.

我知道。

I know.

好吧。

Okay.

但总的来说，大概有三百多名女性参加了。

But all told, there was about, I think there was just over 300 women.

所以这真的很有成就感，哪怕你像我一样特别怕人群，我确实很怕，一开始我根本受不了，因为我不喜欢公园跑步的开场气氛？

So it was such an achieve like like even if you've got crowd anxiety, which I definitely do, and I can I definitely didn't enjoy the beginning because I don't enjoy the beginning of Park Rum?

对吧？

Right?

就是啊。

Just so Yeah.

但你呢，我其实不

But you you I don't

我一个人跑步的时候，根本不喜欢开头那段。

enjoy the beginning of, like, my own like, runs on my own.

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

那种感觉来了，身体里所有声音都在说：别去了，别去。

There's that thing where everything in you is being like, no, don't.

也许真别去了。

Maybe don't.

也许干脆回头算了。

Maybe just go back.

不如先把那半份双层三明治吃完再说。

Maybe maybe finish off that other half of the double decker instead.

别费劲了。

Don't bother.

是的

Yeah.

但你那时候有一支队伍。

But you had you had an army.

你身边有人陪着。

You had people.

对。

Yeah.

我当时和海伦在一起，而且我终于能上厕所了。

And I was there with Helen and we we'd had I was able to have a poo.

在丹比的酒庄里，是可以进洗手间的。

They had you could go into the toilets in Denby's wine estate.

所以那些设施真的很正常。

So they're proper proper normal.

他们既有临时厕所，也有正规的洗手间。

They had like porta loos, but proper loos as well.

哦，太好了。

Oh, good.

沿途的话，我本来想跳过这部分，不，我还是不跳过了。

And like along the route, I'm skipping ahead, no, I won't skip ahead.

我先不提了。

I'll hold back.

不过话说回来，厕所真不错。

But anyway, so nice toilets.

我顺利上了个厕所。

I was able to have a poo.

感觉特别舒服，简直完美。

Felt all lovely, brilliant.

对。

Mhmm.

一切都安排妥当了。

Got everything sorted.

海伦太棒了，她真是参加大型赛事时最该在你身边的人。我到那儿才发现，规定要求得带一个可折叠的杯子，还有那种软质水瓶。

Helen was amazing because she was, oh my god, she's the person you need by your side when you're doing a big race because I turned up, one of the requirements was to have a collapsible cup as well as kind of soft water bottles.

对。

Yes.

没错。

Yes.

就像我们那个装杂物的罐子那样

Like my gunk pot that we

就像你的杂物罐。

Like your gunk pot.

是的。

Yes.

我的可折叠杯子周六晚上六点才送到巴斯，可我当时人在萨里。

And my collapsible cup arrived at 6PM on Saturday in Bath when I was in Surrey.

没有。

No.

是的

Yeah.

但我其实没太在意，因为我带了第三个软质水瓶，心想就用那个吧。

And but I'd I wasn't that bothered because I I'd taken a third, squishy water bottle and I thought I'll just use that instead.

而且我知道那里能买到。

Also, I knew that you could buy them there.

所以我打算在当地买一个，但他们只收现金。

So I was going to buy one there, but they only took cash.

后来海伦像我的仙女教母一样突然出现，给了我五英镑，帮我买下了那个可折叠水杯，太暖心了。

And then Helen came up behind me like my fairy godmother with five pounds and bought my little collapsible cup for me Aw.

这真是太好了，毕竟你不会想把可乐倒进普通水瓶里的。

Which was amazing because you don't really want to put Coke into a water bottle particularly.

是的

Yeah.

说得对。

Good point.

所以你有个小杯子，专门装果汁、可乐这类饮料。

So you have the little cup for squash and for Coke and stuff like that.

到了补给站，你肯定不想一小口一小口地喝，而是想一口气灌下两百毫升可乐。

And for a big glug when you got to a checkpoint, you don't wanna be sort of, you know, getting tiny little sips that you want to like really whang back 200 mils of Coke really quick.

这主意真棒。

That's such a good idea.

太好了。

That's great.

我特别喜欢这个点子。

I love that.

我也超喜欢。

Love that.

就是这种可重复使用的做法。

The sort of, yeah, reusable situation.

确实，真的很不错。

Really, really.

好的。

Okay.

是切萨皮克号。

It was cutlass.

所以，没错，那简直太棒了。

So it was, yeah, it was brilliant.

所以，真的特别棒。

So yeah, it was really lovely.

然后，没搞什么隆重仪式，我就听说有一群步行者，由丽莎·杰克逊带队，早上八点就出发了。

And then without a huge amount of ceremony, I think there there was a a bunch of walkers, Lisa Jackson heading up a kind of bunch of walkers that were leaving at eight in the morning.

而我们所有跑步的人都是九点出发。

And we were all all the runners were going at nine.

所以十公里、二十五公里和五十公里的选手都是九点一起出发。

So all like ten, twenty five, and 50 were all going together at nine.

我和海伦简单聊了两句，我问她：咱们怎么办？

And and me and Helen had a very quick chat where I said, what do we do?

如果你想去走自己的路，或者我想单独走，我们该怎么安排这些事呢？

What do we do if you wanna go off or if I wanna go off and what do we do about this, that, the other?

我们俩都说了，算了，顺其自然吧。

And we both sort of said, let's, you know, let's just see how it goes.

就跟着感觉走，别想太多。

Take it as it comes kinda thing.

挺好。

Cool.

前二十五公里，差不多就是那样。

It was just like, I would say, it was just like that the first 25 k of that.

所以前半程，是我这辈子跑得最舒服的一次。

So the first half of it was genuinely the best running I think I've ever had.

简直美得不得了。

It was so so beautiful.

索菲说得一点都没错。

The the like, Sophie was absolutely right.

那里的风景和周围的一切都美得惊人。

It was the the landscape and everything around there is gorgeous.

真的美极了。

Absolutely gorgeous.

她事先把路线规划得特别仔细。

And she'd been very careful to plot it.

大部分路段，甚至全程，都是沿着北唐斯小径跑的。

Well, you're running on the North Downs Way for much of it or if not all of it.

很多路段都穿行在树林里。

And a lot of that is through wooded areas.

所以尽管最后气温升到了28度，但你大部分时间都在树荫下跑。

So even though it was getting up to 28 by the time it finished, you had quite a lot under undercover.

当你跑到开阔地带，比如田野或山丘附近，地势就慢慢缓下去，那种地貌特别有西南部的风味，是的。

Oh, that's When you when you were out in the open, when there were fields and things, you know, the hills just sort of fell away and very kind of Southwest looking landscape Mhmm.

我当时就想，

I thought, actually.

所以即使是在国家的另一边，感觉依然很熟悉。

So it felt familiar even though it was the other side of the country.

真的特别特别美。

Just super super beautiful.

非常漂亮。

Really beautiful.

跑步穿过美丽的树林，风景也美得不得了，简直太壮观了。

Like beautiful woods to run through, beautiful scenery, really really gorgeous.

所有跑过这条路的人都知道，途中还有不少让人惊喜的亮点。

And and the everyone that's run it will know also what the the kind of there were various bits of joy.

其中一个亮点就是补给站，数量多得数不清。

One of the bits of joy were the checkpoints of which there were absolutely tons.

而且你希望补给站越多越好，因为50公里的路线上有七个，其中还有一个折返点。

And you wanted them to be tons because there was, I think there was seven on the 50 ks because you had like a turnaround one.

每一个补给站都特别棒。

They were all incredible.

这些补给点主要由凤凰跑步的不同分支负责值守。

And they've been manned by, I think mostly by kind of different branches of Pheonix Running.

大家都一直在说，那个贝德福德郡的补给点简直太棒了。

And so everyone kept on going about I think it was the Bedfordshire one that everyone was like, oh my god.

你一定要等到贝德福德郡那个点再惊喜。

Wait wait till you get to the Bedfordshire one.

贝德福德郡那个点，还有其他的每一个点，都特别出色。

And the thing about the Bedfordshire one, and all the other all of them were amazing.

每一个点都特别出色。

All of them were amazing.

但贝德福德郡那个点，提供的是切好的西瓜。

But Bedfordshire one, it was sliced watermelon.

真的吗。

Oh.

太好吃了。

Oh, so good.

这简直是道格梦寐以求的解酒小食。

That's Doug's dream hangover snack.

简直太棒了。

It was just incredible.

我觉得西瓜本身不就天然富含电解质吗？

Because I think watermelon isn't it like a natural electrolyte anyway?

不过话说回来，就是这样了。

But anyway, it was There we go.

我吃了大概四片西瓜。

I had about four slices of watermelon.

后来我跟索菲说，这事还产生了连锁反应。

And then there was this bit, and I was saying to Sophie afterwards, there was a ripple effect.

当时那个补给点有六七个人在那儿。

So there was about six or seven of us at this checkpoint.

有个人突然转头问旁边的人：那些是马麦酱三明治吗？

And someone just turned around to another one and said, are those Marmite sandwiches?

然后又有个人问，那些是马麦酱三明治吗？

And then someone else said, are those Marmite sandwiches?

我和海伦也跟着问，那些是马麦酱三明治吗？

And then me and Helen were like, are those Marmite sandwiches?

我们俩都惊呆了，天哪。

And we're like, oh my God.

结果发现，这场比赛里最顶级的零食就是

So that turned out to be the elite snack of the race was

西瓜配马麦酱三明治。

Watermelon Marmite sandwiches.

是的。

Yeah.

天啊，这听起来简直完美到不行。

Oh, that's That literally sounds like the most perfect combination.

咸味。

Salt.

盐。

Salt.

苦甜味的糖。

Bitter sugar.

对。

Yeah.

水，就是那种液体的东西。

Water, you know, liquidy thing.

太棒了。

Amazing.

然后每个补给站都摆着大桶的可乐、柠檬水、橙味汽水和水。

And then all these checkpoints, they have big jugs of Coke, lemon squash, orange squash, and water.

你可以根据需要随便取用，还有特别友善的人过来问：我可以帮你吗？

So you could then just fill up on what you needed, and just beautiful people just saying, can I do this?

我可以这么做吗？

Can I do that?

我能打开这个吗？

Can I open that?

有一阵子，我觉得跑到一半的时候，我根本打不开我的电解质饮料瓶。

Can I Like at one point, I think at the midway point, I was like, I can't open my electrolytes?

有个很友善的女士帮我撕开瓶盖，倒进了我的杯子里。

There was a nice woman there who tore the top off and poured it in for me.

整个过程都特别暖心。

So it was all it was all really lovely.

我踩空了。

I misstepped.

回来的路上，有一次我完全踩空了。

On the way back, I completely misstepped at one point.

有一个补给点，我说我只要装满一瓶就行。

So there was one checkpoint where I said, I just need to fill up one bottle.

结果那段成了整场比赛最难熬的部分，因为我只装了七百五十毫升。

And that was the that ended up being my hardest segment of the race because I then had one and a half, so I had, like, 750 mil.

我当时可能——其实检查点之间的距离并不远，但那段路大概有十公里左右吧。

I was probably I mean, it's not a very long distance between checkpoints, but it might have been, you know, 10 k or something.

但我很快就喝光了，是的。

But I'd run out within Yeah.

大概五公里左右就没了。

Like five.

因为到最后我算了一下，确实如此。

Because we I worked out at the end of it.

我昨晚跟戴夫说，我觉得那段时间我总共喝掉了差不多六升水。

I was saying to Dave last night, I think that I drank equivalent of six liters in all of that time.

直到回到家，我喉咙里还一直有三下特别小、特别干的喘息声。

And I had, right up until the time I got home, I had three very small, tiny, hot wheezes.

一点声音都发不出来。

There was nothing coming out of me.

我完全理解你的感受。

I do feel you.

这个周末我咳出了一些痰，味道特别重。

I did some wheezes that I could really smell this weekend.

就是那种浓稠的，

Just little thick, like

说不定像糖浆一样。

that could have been Syrup.

凝成了胶状。

Gel formed.

没错。

Yes.

就是这样。

Exactly.

对啊。

Yeah.

但从起点到25公里的折返点，一路上就我和海伦。

But yeah, all the way there to the 25 turnaround, it was me and Helen.

那真是特别开心。

And it was absolutely joyful.

太美好了，如果没有她，我根本做不到。

It was so lovely and I couldn't have done it without her.

我们就是一路爬山，平路上边走边聊，现在回头想想特别有意思，尤其是看到那些数据和图表的时候。

And we just, we walked up the hills, we talked along the straight bits and you can it's so funny looking back at connect, you know, when you get all the charts and things.

对啊。

Yeah.

前半段其实挺累的，因为有不少坡度。

So that first half is quite because there is some elevation.

索菲说，你就当这是我的平地跑步吧。

There was some Sophie said, oh, just think of it as my flat run.

我们就说，好啊，索菲，行吧。

And we're like, yeah, alright, Sophie.

明白了。

Okay.

那位跑遍整个爱尔兰的女士，我们恐怕没法采纳你的建议了。

Woman who's run the length of Ireland, not sure we're gonna

确实没法听你的。

be taking your advice.

没错。

Exactly.

你自己慢慢享受吧。

Enjoy that.

所以我们当时就想，好吧。

So we were like, okay.

确实有一段很长很平的路，但中间也夹杂着一些挺长的上坡路段。

There were there were long stretches of flat, but there were also some long, some some some climb y bits.

不过我们就是顺其自然，一路走一路聊，没停过。

But we just literally took it in our stride and we just we talked and talked and talked.

我记得有阵子我还跟她聊起了我那个远房表亲的鞋码，现在想想，两个人待久了，聊的话题真是千奇百怪。

I remember at some point telling her the shoe size of my second cousin once removed and thinking, God, it's really odd what you end up talking about when you're with each other for

真是没辙了。

Really scraping the barrel.

是的。

Yeah.

我太喜欢这个了。

Oh, I love that.

向海伦·索恩致敬。

Shout out to Helen Thorne.

她真是个特别棒的女士，太令人钦佩了。

What a lovely, lovely woman who Oh, she was amazing.

她已经成了我们播客的天然好友，是女性跑步圈的好朋友，也是你我共同的朋友。

I think has become such a natural friend of the pod, friend the friend of women's running, and friend of you and me.

没错。

Absolutely.

她就是那种真正善良的人，和我们一样珍视这些价值，热爱跑步，也爱开玩笑。

Like, she just is, like, such a genuinely lovely woman who stands for all of the same things that we do and who loves running and who loves having a laugh.

天哪。

Oh god.

就这样了。

That's it.

如果你想找一个靠谱的跑步伙伴，职业喜剧演员绝对该排在第一位。

And if you ever need a good running companion, then a professional comedian should be the top of your list.

对吧？

Right?

她真是个绝佳的搭档。

She's good shout.

她特别有趣，人又幽默，相处起来特别舒服，感觉我们俩都重新找回了彼此身上那些被遗忘的东西。

She has all the fun and she's and she's so funny and it was just so lovely and like it felt like everything I'd forgot she had and everything she'd forgot I had.

那种感觉真的很有帮助，特别有帮助。

So that that felt that was really kind of helpful, really helpful.

姐妹情谊。

Sisterhood.

确实如此。

It was.

哦，这太美了。

Oh, that's so beautiful.

我特别喜欢。

I loved it so much.

所以我们知道我们要来了。

So we got So we knew that we were coming.

我开始有点感觉不对劲，她也看出来了，因为她能察觉到我情绪不太对。

I started feeling and she knew this as well because I could she could tell I was feeling a bit weird about it.

所以我们知道参加50公里跑步的人不会太多，是的。

So we knew that there weren't a huge amount of people running Mhmm.

50公里的赛程。

The 50 k.

有一段路我们俩都有点说不上来的感觉。

So there was a bit where we were kind of I don't know.

我觉得离折返点大概有八公里。

I think it was eight k away from the turnaround point.

我们看到了第一个跑完50公里的人往回跑。

And we saw the first 50 k come back.

明白了。

Okay.

因为这是条往返路线。

Because it's it's a it's an out and back.

我一下子有点慌了。

And I immediately had a wobble.

这感觉真奇怪，对吧？

This is so weird, isn't it?

我立刻就慌了，心想：天啊，他们开始往回跑了。

I immediately had a wobble and I was like, oh, oh, they're starting to come they're starting to come back.

我们聊起这事的时候，我就说：我可不想最后一个冲线。

And we started talking about that and I was like, I don't wanna come in last.

我真的不想垫底。

I just don't wanna come in last.

我能感觉到自己稍微加快了脚步，是的。

And I could feel myself pick up the pace a bit Yeah.

因为我心里就想着，千万别垫底。

Because I was just like, I don't want to come in last.

我知道跑步本该是享受过程，我也确实挺开心的，但还是忍不住较劲，老觉得自己不能落在最后。

It was and I know it's supposed to be about the time, and I was enjoying myself, but I was still also being very Esther and being a bit self flagellating about it, and just going, can't be last.

不能垫底。

I can't be last.

我不知道什么时候才能放下自己这种性格。

And I don't know when I'm ever gonna shrug that bit of my personality off.

就算是散步小组也一样。

Even with a walk group.

就算是散步小组，也没能让你放松一点

Even with a walk group, it didn't calm your

不是。

No.

因为步行小组人很少，我就想，我可不想当最后一个跑完的人。

Because the walk group was quite small, and I just thought, I don't want to be I don't want to be the last of the runners.

好吧。

Okay.

这就是我的执念。

So that was my thing.

然后陆续有人从我身边经过，我就开始默默数起来。

So then and then they started trickling through, and I started beginning to count them a bit.

我们正聊着天，我突然跟海伦说：‘我觉得刚才那个可能是第六个。’

And then and so we were talking about that and and then we'd be in the middle of a conversation and I'd say to Helen, oh, I think that might have been like the sixth.

你懂的，她肯定注意到我有点不对劲，我自己也觉得我太较真了。

You know, so I could she would have been noticed that I was a bit funny about it and I was being a bit funny about it.

不过话说回来，一路上的风景美得像透纳的画一样。

Anyway, so we and all the while, I mean, scenery out of like, I don't know, Turner paintings.

我的天，那景象简直太震撼了。

I mean, was just incredible.

对啊。

Yeah.

所以我们当时玩得很开心。

So we were having a good time.

而且我在补给方面也做得特别好。

And I was being really good with fueling as well.

我吃了马麦酱三明治和西瓜，但一路上也没停过，一直在吃Precision Hydration的能量胶。

So I was having the, you know, the Marmite sandwiches and the watermelon, but I was still also, oh, Precision Hydration chews all the fucking way.

新口味，西瓜味上线了。

And new flavor, watermelon alert.

天哪。

Oh my god.

西瓜味的Precision Hydration能量胶。

Watermelon flavored Precision I Hydration

我在你的Instagram故事里看到了，我真的得重新把Precision Hydration咀嚼片捡起来。

saw that on your Instagram story and I really need to get back onto the Precision Hydration chews.

让我有点懵的是，我后来才意识到自己其实没正确使用它们。我觉得你得同时吃两种咀嚼片，对，两种都要，才能凑够30克碳水。

I think the thing that threw me about them was I kind of realized that I wasn't actually using them properly because I think you need to have both the chews Yes, you in order to get your 30 grams of carb.

我之前都不知道。

I didn't know that.

我以前就只吃一种，然后还抱怨说这玩意儿对我没啥用。

I was having one and then being like, these just aren't doing it for me.

我老是撞墙。

I keep hitting the wall.

那是因为我每小时只摄入15克碳水化合物。

It's because I was only having 15 grams of carbohydrate every There we go.

我把间隔从半小时改成了四十分钟。

Half an hour, forty minutes instead of thirty.

我就在想，为什么吃了能量胶之后，我脚步突然变得这么轻快呢？

So I was like, why is it that the gel has just put so much more spring in my step?

所以呢。

So, yeah.

就是这样。

There we go.

提醒一下，如果你只吃一颗咀嚼片，那得两颗一起吃。

Word to the wise, if you also only eat one of the chews, you need to have both.

我真的很想重新开始用它们。

But I do really wanna get back it back back on on board with

因为我跑长距离平路的时候，会交替吃能量胶和咀嚼片，因为能量胶对我来说更持久，能撑一英里。

them because And when I do like long flat runs, I alternate between gel and chew because the gel lasts longer with me, so it will last me a mile of running.

而咀嚼片的话，我几分钟就吃一颗了。

Whereas a chew, I'm wanging it back after a couple of minutes kind of thing.

但我反而更期待吃它。

But I look forward to it more.

所以啊。

So Yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

所以我确实这么做的。

So I kinda do that.

总之，我当时在吃能量胶，带了挺多的，至少五包，说不定有六包。

Anyway, so, yeah, I was doing I was doing the chews, so I had quite a few of those, at least five packets of chews, I think, maybe even six.

那时候状态还不错。

So I was doing really well.

后来我们到了折返点，我前面已经走了一段，因为海伦时不时停下来，但其实她没停，只是在走路。

Anyway, so we got to the the kind of turnaround point, and I'd I'd kind of gone ahead a bit, because there were bits where she was stopping, Helen was stopping, and I think she was not stopping.

她当时在慢走。

She was walking.

我觉得她那时候有点吃力了。

And I think she was slightly on the struggle bus at that point.

她在折返点跟我说话，那里有干净的洗手间，各种吃的，还有不少志愿者帮忙，什么都有。

And she said to me, so we stopped at the turnaround point where there was lovely toilets, lots of food, lots of help and, you know, all that kind of thing.

她只是说，我感觉有点吃力。

And she just said, I'm just I'm just finding it a bit hard.

对。

Mhmm.

她说，我觉得你还是先走吧。

And she said, I I think you should go ahead.

我当时心里特别矛盾，因为我觉得前半程能跑得这么好，很大程度上是因为有海伦陪着我。

And I was like, I had all the conflicting emotions because I thought I've had a really, really, really good first half and most of that is because I've been with Helen.

是的。

Yeah.

但同时，我心里有种说不清的冲动，不想让这件事拖得太久——不管这‘太久’到底是什么意思。

But at the same time, I know that I've got this kind of weird, innate feeling in me, is I don't want this to take too long whatever too long is.

我就是想赶紧往前冲，说不上来，就是坐不住了。

And I kind of I just wanna get and I don't know, itchy feet.

我就是想一直跑、一直跑、一直跑。

I just wanted to go go go go go go go go go.

对。

Mhmm.

我决定相信她的话，直接就走了。

I made the decision to sort of take her at her word and I just went off.

前半段是和海伦一起，后半段就戴着Shox耳机。

So first half was with Helen, second half was with Shox headphones.

你听的是什么？

What did you listen to?

一部烂有声书。

Shit audiobook.

不是。

No.

不是。

No.

万一我报出作者名字呢？

Because what if I name the author?

不行。

No.

我不会说出作者的名字。

I won't name the author.

就是一本特别轻飘飘的有声书。

Just a very fluffy audiobook.

好吧。

Okay.

行吧。

Fine.

你需要的就是这个。

What you need.

这样也没问题。

Which is fine.

对。

Yeah.

我根本不在乎外面发生了什么。

I I couldn't give the monkeys about what was going on.

回来的路上人特别少，因为出去的时候，身边都是二十多岁、二十五岁和五十岁左右的人。

And I saw very few people on the way back because on the way out, you are with the tens, the '20 fives, and the fifties.

是的。

Yeah.

回来的时候就主要是五十岁左右的了，你知道的，总共可能不到一百人，而且我们早就超过了不少人。

And on the way back, it's just the fifties and, you know, there would have been less than a 100 of us doing it and, you know, we'd already passed quite a few.

所以后来就只剩下走路的人了。

So it was just like and then then there were the walkers.

所以整个过程特别空旷，人很少，经常好一会儿都看不到前面或后面有任何人。

So, yeah, it was it was a very empty, thin, like lots of time where I couldn't see someone in front or anyone behind.

是舒服还是奇怪？

Nice or weird?

我觉得我挺喜欢这样的。

I would quite that, I think.

是的

Yeah.

对

Yeah.

不错

Nice.

林子里有几段小路

I think there was little bits in the woods.

有一小段林间小道，风挺大的，以前海伦和我从那边走的时候，还迷过一次路

There was a little woody bit, which is a bit windy, and when Helen and I were coming in the other direction, we'd got slightly lost.

但那段路我自己走的时候，感觉有点瘆人

But that little bit on my own was a bit like, creepy.

好

Mhmm.

不过除此之外，一切都还好

But then other than that, it was fine.

而且确实是这样。

And it yeah.

所以后半段比前半段难多了。

So the the second half was infinitely more hard than the first half.

我觉得速度稍微快了点，因为没人聊天。

I think it was slightly faster because I had no one to talk to.

我正想说，这不一直都是个取舍吗？

I was gonna say that's always the trade off, isn't it?

就是这样。

It's like Mhmm.

一边跑步一边聊天确实很惬意，但显然会慢一点，毕竟得花心思说话。

It's so lovely running and chatting, but it does obviously slow you down a little bit because you've got to focus on chatting.

是的。

Yeah.

但我完全理解你所说的这种微妙的平衡。

But I completely get you that with that weird balance of the two.

我很多半程训练都是和莱克一起做的，因为她当时也在为布莱顿马拉松做准备。

I quite a few of my bath half training sessions I did with Lex because she was training for Brighton at the same time.

对。

Yeah.

不过我们有个挺有意思的情况，我的训练计划从头到尾都特别狠。

But we had a bit of a funny thing where my training plan was really savage all the way through.

而她的计划则不一样，一开始很温和，然后慢慢变得越来越高强度。

Whereas hers started hers was a proper situation where it started gently and then it got progressively more savage.

所以我们俩的训练节奏有段交叉期：年初那几个月，我的训练量很大，她会陪我跑最后半段或者前半段；后来情况就反过来啦。

So we kind of had a weird crossover where for the first couple of months of the year, my runs are really long and she was joining me for the for, like, the last half or the first half, and then it kinda went the other way around.

我到现在也说不清更喜欢哪种，一方面，独自冲刺、快速完成确实很爽。

And I still can't tell you which I prefer because on one hand, it got it was so much it it was nice to just sort of send it and go quickly and just get it done.

是的。

Yeah.

但天啊，你根本

But God, you don't

跟别人聊天的时候，甚至都注意不到自己在脚上花了多少时间。

even notice the time on your feet when you're chatting to somebody.

对。

Yeah.

所以，这到底是

And so it's How

怎么回事？

was it?

可能

It's probably

分成两半来玩还挺不错的。

nice to have a game of two halves.

这样你既能体验两种感觉，把那股躁动劲儿发泄出来，也能慢慢熬过那些时间，毕竟这才是这些活动的核心所在。

You get to experience a little bit of both where you get to get your itchy feet out, get your zoomies out, but you also got to while away the hours doing what all of that stuff is all about really.

对。

Yeah.

我确实这么觉得。

I do.

我觉得实际上这样安排恰恰是最好的。

I I think actually it ended up being the perfect the perfect way round as well.

对。

Mhmm.

因为如果我们在回来的路上聊，我怀疑还能跑多少路。

Because I think if if we'd have switched it so that we were talking on the way back, I I'm not sure there'd be an enormous amount of running.

毕竟那路太难走了。

Because it was so hard.

很明显，那时候天已经晚了。

Obviously, it got later in the day.

太阳完全升起来了。

The sun had fully risen.

天气热得不得了。

It was very, very hot.

是的。

Yeah.

我们很多人都挺吃力的。

And lots of us were struggling.

当我看Garmin Connect上的跑步和步行轨迹图时，发现后半段的间隔明显更均匀。

And it's really when I look at Garmin Connect where they show you the graph of run, walk, it's much more spaced out in the in the second half.

前半段我跑得比较久，走的时间短，而且节奏不太规律，全看坡道位置了。

Like, in the first half, I've got like big stretches of running, short stretches of walking, and there's quite and that sort of not regular because it's all dependent on where the hills were.

但后半段就完全是跑一段、走一段，反复循环。

But in the second half, it's like, run walk, run walk, run walk.

是的。

Yeah.

我当时就在心里对自己说：好了，就只管跑吧。

And bit, so I was just like, in my head, was like, right, just run.

我那时候其实是在做间歇冲刺。

I was fartlecking.

我脑子里就想，跑到那棵树那儿，走一会儿，再跑到下一个地方。

I was like, run to that tree, walk for a bit, run to that.

所以我那时候没少这么干。

So I was doing quite a lot of that.

真的特别特别累。

So it was really, really hard.

回来的路上，我感觉自己必须拼尽全力才行。

I felt like I had to massively dig deep on the way back.

不过我很庆幸自己这么做了，不然根本感觉不到这是在比赛。

But I'm kind of really pleased that I did because otherwise I wouldn't have felt like it was a race.

前半段太轻松了。

Like, it was too it was too easy.

前半段太舒服了。

It was too nice, the first half.

是的。

Yeah.

但不知怎么的，我就是需要一点能让人吃苦的环节，那种

And somehow, I needed to have something that was, like, punishing, which

我大概明白你的意思。

I it kinda get what you mean.

能把自己彻底拼尽的感觉真好。

It's nice to feel like you've left it all out there.

是的。

And Yeah.

而且我的身体状态也挺好的。

Also my side worked.

对。

Yeah.

我觉得你这种安排真的很棒，确实是一种难得的平衡，我特别为你骄傲，因为我知道你平时更容易偏向那种逼自己、挑战极限、拼命冲刺的部分。

I think that sounds like a really it does actually genuinely sound like a really nice balance, and I'm proud of you for also because I know sometimes you almost find it a little easier to do the punish yourself, challenge yourself, fasty bits.

我为你骄傲，因为你至少花了一半的时间去感受周围、聊聊天、享受过程，而不是像平时训练那样低着头一味猛冲。你真正沉浸在了美丽的风景里，和一群很棒的女生一起，这感觉很值得。

Proud of you that you also took at least half of the time to take in your surroundings, have a chat, enjoy it, so it didn't just feel like another training run where you've got your head down and you're and you're going for it, but that it felt like an experience and worth it that you were there in the beautiful scenery with other lovely women and Yeah.

说得对。

Think Yeah.

听起来是这样，而且跑步的时候，每次遇到迎面而来的人，我们都会互相说一声‘干得好’。

That sounds And you know, like as we ran, every time we met people coming in the other direction, it was like we and they would say, well done.

真暖心。

Aw.

你瞧，当你超过别人的时候，也会有人喊‘干得好，继续加油’。

You know, and and if you passed someone, if you overtook someone, there was a well done, keep going.

不管你在哪个路段，大家都会这么说。

You know, we all said it no matter where you were or or which bit of the race you were doing.

这真的特别温馨。

And that was just really, really lovely.

真的特别温暖。

It was just really lovely.

整个氛围都充满了支持和鼓励。

It was so it felt so supportive.

整个过程都让人感觉特别有支持力。

Like, all of it felt so supportive.

天哪。

And, oh my god.

是的。

Yeah.

最后一段真的特别特别难，因为……

The final bit the final bit was, like, really, really hard because Yeah.

我的手表在终点前就已经跳到30英里、50公里了。

Because my watch had clicked over into 30 miles 50 k sometime before the end.

对。

And Yeah.

再过一会儿就到32英里了吧？

And it'd be 32 in a bit, didn't it?

看着你。

Looking at you.

三十二公里了

32 in

马上就到了。

a bit.

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

有一段特别棒，你走进葡萄园的时候，就知道那是最后一段了。

And there was a bit where you're you there's a lovely bit where you enter into the vineyard and you know that's the last little bit.

所以我就想，太好了，就快到了。

So you're like, right, brilliant.

但我的GPX轨迹和路边的小指示牌不太一致。

But my GPX didn't quite match the course directions with on the little sort of signage.

有那么一瞬间，我明明看见了终点，却不得不跑过它，绕一圈再折返回来。

And so there was a horrible moment where you you I could see the finish, and I had to run past it and run around another circle and come down.

我当时就想，天哪。

And it was like, oh my god.

别再这样对我了。

Stop doing this to me.

是的。

Yeah.

哦，对啊。

Oh, yeah.

我差点忘了说。

And I forgot to say.

不过算了，我反正都完成了，没事。

But anyway, I did that, so it's fine.

但我要说一下，海伦已经同意了，这段真是最搞笑的。

But I'm allowed to say, because I've been given permission by Helen, that this was the funniest bit.

我们当时正往外走，我想那时候应该已经过了十公里，可能快到十五公里了。

So we were on the way out within about I think we'd probably got past the 10 k stage, maybe the 15 k stage or something.

但不管怎样，当我们快跑到火星那段路的时候，海伦就一直放屁停不下来。

But either way, when it got to the kind of, oh, we're getting into the chunky Mars now, Helen could not stop farting.

她一直不停地放，大概从第一次开始，她就说：‘不好意思啊，真抱歉。’

It was just just a constant she got I think after the the first time, she went, oh, really sorry about that.

我当时就想，咱们干脆别再说对不起这种话了。

And I was like, I think we're just gonna have to, like, not say sorry

对这种事没必要道歉。

for things like

这事儿就是会发生的。

this is just going to happen.

不过我还好，也不知道怎么搞的，居然忍住了。

However, I sort of managed to kind of contain myself, and I don't know how, but I did.

跑到二十五公里处折返。

Turned around at twenty five k.

我往回跑的时候，还在回程的火车上给她发了条消息。

I ran back, and I had to text her when I was on the train on the way back.

我就跟她说，你得知道，从登比酒庄那段下坡路，全靠放屁推着我跑的。

And I said, I just need to let you know that that whole downhill through the Denbigh's wine estate, that was all fart power.

全是放屁的动力。

All fart.

这简直就是加速器。

It's speed boost.

对。

Yeah.

没错。

Yeah.

但有点让人担心，因为这时候我已经跑了32英里了。

But slightly worrying because you're like, I'm now on 32 miles.

真不知道接下来会发生什么。

I don't know what's going to occur.

对。

Yeah.

你懂的。

You know?

每走一步，心里都在想，天啊，这回去的路可真够呛。

And with every step as well, it's like, like, the way back in, just going, oh god.

这让我想起玩马里奥赛车时，拿到小蘑菇道具，但得按一下才能用。

It makes me think of, you know, on Mario Kart where you get the little toadstool, but you have to, like, press to use it.

对，就是这样。

So it's like Yes.

一路走一路用。

As you go along.

就是这么回事。

That is it.

没错，就是这样。

That's yeah.

完全就是这么回事。

That's exactly it.

感觉不像加速，但没错，确实就是那样。

Didn't feel like a speed boost, but yeah, it was absolutely that.

说得对。

Fair play.

还有今天早上的高温，也挺要命的。

There's something about the heat as well, like, this morning.

你都跑了三十英里了。

Cause you've done 30 miles.

说实话，我特别佩服你的控制力——如果允许我直说的话，你跑那么久居然没拉裤子，这太厉害了。我今天早上才跑七公里，前两公里全在憋着，因为我知道再跑两公里就到第一个公共厕所了。

I think it's fair to I mean, I'm incredibly impressed by your sphincter that you if you don't mind me saying, if you manage to not shit while doing those farts because this morning, on my run, it was only seven k, and I I had to focus the first two kilometers because I knew it was only two kilometers to the first public loop.

刚跑出一百米左右，心里就咯噔一下：糟了。

Literally within the first few 100 meters, was like, oops.

我快憋不住了。

I'm going to shit my pants.

出门前真该想想这事儿，不过算了，既然出来了，就硬着头皮跑吧。

I should have thought about that before I left, but oh, well, let's go for it.

没有。

No.

离第一个公共厕所只有两公里，但那儿挂了个大牌子，说因人为破坏而关闭。

It was only two k until the first public glue, but then it had a big sign saying, unfortunately, closed due to vandalism.

知道。

Know.

那你怎么办的？

What did you do?

我差点崩溃，赶紧给道格发了条消息，他居然回我说：不冒险，就没收获。

I had a horrible moment and I text Doug, and then he actually said, no risk, no reward.

这话激励了我，我就继续跑，最后居然挺过来了。

And it spurred me on and I carried on and somehow I survived.

然后发生了一件有点怪的事，你可能会想：这到底怎么回事？

And I I and then it it did that slightly weird thing where you think, what's actually happened there?

跑完最后一段，你根本不需要上厕所了，可你还是忍不住想

Where you don't need it by the end of the run and you think

等它又回升的时候。

When it's gone back up.

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

不过后来它又冒出来了，真是烦人。

But it did it did rear its ugly head later Oh.

没错。

Oh, yeah.

不好意思。

Sorry.

天啊，这一段内容得提前预警一下。

God, this is a trigger warning for this section of the pod.

哦。

Oh.

所以你真的跟海伦建立了更深的联系。

Well, so you really did get to know Helen on another level.

到最后你们都成了能一起放屁的交情。

You became fart friends by the end.

放屁朋友。

Fart friends.

对。

Yes.

这确实是一种更深层的关系。

Which is another level.

是的。

Yeah.

没错。

Yeah.

那种感觉真的很棒。

So that felt really nice.

是的。

Yeah.

整个事情就是特别棒。

It was just but the whole thing was just wonderful.

真的特别美好。

It was just so lovely.

我完成了另一项跟Trail Escape不一样的活动，那次规模好像更大一点；这次我独自完成了。

I finished what was unlike Trail Escape that I did as well, which I think was had been slightly bigger, When I finished this one, I finished on my own.

我感觉受到了特别的肯定，完全是靠自己，还领了奖牌，拿到了装满各种东西的纪念包。

So I felt I was celebrated, like, uniquely on my own and, you know, was given a medal, was given a goody bag filled with everything that you need.

所有的东西。

Everything.

有一杯蛋白奶昔，巧克力味的蛋白奶昔。

There was like a there was a protein milkshake, chocolate protein milkshake.

所以一结束就直接去了脖子

So immediately Neck

就是那一刻。

that immediately.

对。

Yeah.

那儿有个大摊位，摆满了南瓜、小吃，还有香槟酒。

There was, like, there was a big stand filled with, like, you know, squash and snacks, but also glasses of champagne.
