Benjamin YUEN – Regular Exercise and Long Distance Running

To complement his body fitness, Benjamin adds aerobic exercises to his workout routine. In the past, Benjamin preferred more on ball games. Inspired by his friends in the industry, he has taken up long distance running and become addicted to it. “Running strengthens my cardio-pulmonary function and sweating helps my body eliminate toxins. It is simply relaxing and exhilarating.”

Benjamin has formed a runners’ group, the “Crazy Runners”, with a couple of colleagues lately. Benjamin used to hang out and party with friends on festivals and holidays, now he would rather celebrate by running in the countryside with his teammates. “Running leisurely in the countryside is a scenic and enjoyable experience. We always end our practice session with a nice meal, when we share inspirations with one another.”

Having completed a 10-kilometre run in the Hong Kong Marathon earlier this year, he has enrolled in the half-marathon which will be held next year. Let’s see if you could meet him on the track by then!
