Editor: First, share your data on Codoon.
The Taste of Happiness: Since I started using Codoon in May this year, I have run over 1500 kilometers, completed 19 online half-marathons, 2 full marathons, 2 offline half-marathons, and 1 full marathon. Running is my favorite sport. I run five days a week, with a monthly mileage of around 200 kilometers. I especially enjoy online half-marathons because I can choose different routes to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Editor: What is your most unforgettable running experience?
The Taste of Happiness: The most unforgettable experience was running the Shanghai Marathon, where I felt the warmth of the running group. Although we didn't know each other, a few days after joining the group, my teammates proactively bought supplies for us who were running the marathon. They specifically delivered them at the 30-kilometer mark, making me feel the warmth of a big family. My "Three Kingdoms Heroes Running Group," it's great to know you. With this good mood, I happily and safely finished the race with a net time of 4 hours and 45 minutes.
