78歲的羅廣德在馬拉松賽道上重啓人生

78-year-old Luo Guangde recently completed the Berlin Marathon, clocking a personal best of 5 hours 28 minutes 30 seconds, shortening his previous 'PB' by 16 minutes.

78歲的羅廣德最近完成了“柏林馬拉松”，創造了5小時28分30秒的個人最好成績，這要比他之前的最好成績快了16分鐘。

Only picking up running at the age of 75, Luo now ranks 28th in the world in the 75-and-above category for marathons, and is the only Chinese person in the group.

75歲纔開始跑步的羅廣德，如今在全球馬拉松75歲以上年齡段中排名第28，且是唯一一名中國人。

A back injury had previously limited Luo's ability to run.

背部的傷勢之前限制了羅廣德的跑步能力。

However, Luo overcame the injury, and - despite some pain - was able to complete the Chongqing half-marathon with the assistance of his twin sons, who were the catalyst for his decision to begin running.

不過，羅廣德克服了這些傷病--儘管有些疼痛，他還是在兩個兒子的陪伴下完成了重慶半程馬拉松，而兒子們是他決定開始跑步的催化劑。

He then competed in the Los Angeles Marathon in February, 2016.

之後，在2016年2月，他完成了洛杉磯馬拉松。

After crossing the line under his own power, Luo decided to go for the "Marathon Grand Slam," which are the 6 largest marathons in the world.

在靠自己的力量衝過終點線之後，羅廣德決定爲“馬拉松大滿貫”--即世界上六大馬拉松而努力。

He competed in the New York Marathon in November, 2016, and also took part in the London Marathon in April, 2017.

2016年11月，他完成了紐約馬拉松；2017年4月，他又參加了倫敦馬拉松。

"I plan to run in two Marathons in 2018, and one in 2019. By then I will be 80," said Luo.

羅廣德表示：“我計劃在2018年參加兩場馬拉松，2019年參加一場。那時我就要滿80歲了。”
