“XTEP Training Camp” Launched, helping runners from the Finance industry Prepare for 2016 Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon

This year is XTEP’s fifth year as the apparel sponsor of the Hong Kong Standard Chartered Marathon. Along the way, XTEP has supported the preparation of the event with practical actions. This year, our activities are also innovative, striving to bring more extraordinary experiences to runners.

In order to prepare for the competition in January next year, XTEP has created the "XTEP Training Camp" for the first time for ready-to-go financial circle runners, which will be held every Tuesday night and last for eight weeks. Although it is already cold in Hong Kong in winter, the enthusiasm for sports brings us together at the Causeway Bay Sports Ground.

The trainees include analysts from major investment banks, fund researchers and managers. They are not only efficient and responsible at work, but also treat them seriously and pursue the best in the "XTEP Training Camp". Seeing the active participation of the students, XTEP also invited professional runner Wang Zewen to serve as a coach to prepare for the race with everyone.

In addition to on-site running exercises and posture guidance, experienced coach Wang also shared correct running knowledge with students: It turns out that stretching after running is more important than stretching before running to warm up, so as to truly reduce muscle strain.

Final benefit sharing: Next time you run, you can run a few laps at a jogging speed first and then warm up. This will give you better results!
