Hong Kong cross-country runner Stone Tsang self-published new book "There is a belief called trail running.", summarizing his 20-year cross-country running career's memoirs and sports knowledge. This book will teach you how to run, make a training plan, and understand nutrition strategies.
In a first-of-its-kind in book in Chinese, Stone Tsang shares his extraordinary life journey growing up in a small village in Guangdong and moving to Hong Kong and becoming the most successful international Chinese trail runner of his time. However, this is much more than an autobiography with the book also a step by step guide for anyone interested to become a better runner by covering in depth the topics: how to training for optimum performance, nutrition and diet, race strategies, injury prevention, and so much more.
Stone was dominating local races in Hong Kong as far back as 2005 and soon after broke new ground for Chinese globally at the UTMB in Europe, the defacto World Championships for longer distance trail running. No ethnic Chinese (whether Hong Kong, Taiwan or Mainland China) had ever cracked the top 20 at UTMB, and Stone remarkably went on to do it 3 times. Stone then managed to reach even further heights winning races in Europe and finishing an incredible 8th place ranking in 2014 on the World Tour.
With outdoor specialists, Asia Pacific Adventure, Stone also helped create and lead the first professional trail running skills courses and seminars held across the region. This book will be one to keep on your shelf for years to come, and refer back to the wisdom Stone shares from 20 years experience competing in running along with in-depth research and application of the latest sports science.
