It’s A Wrap: workshop. We are happy to work with Surpine and ZenOne to deliver this learning experience to the community!

ABOUT Coach: Pili

Pili - Hong Kong's first known finisher of GrandSam of Hong Kong 100 ultramarathons and the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon back-to-back (4 races, 234K). In 2024, he completed the Chongli 168 without energy gels or trekking poles.

During the Hong Kong 100 races, he used poles for the first two days, which allowed his legs to feel fresh when he started the 100K on the third day. At the Chongli 168 race, due to a pre-race injury, he could not use poles, so he utilized special uphill techniques to complete the 168K without poles, crossing the finish line in 4:30 with fresh legs. How did he achieve this?

This workshop was taught by Pili, covering the following:

1. Trekking pole usage and basic rhythm
2. Downhill with trekking poles
3. Trekking pole technique: engaging the lats and pectoralis major
4. Steep uphill without poles: engaging the glutes and core
5. Gradual uphill without poles: hamstring muscles
6. Practical training

- Route: Section 2 of the Wilson Trail
- Content: 30min pole technique lesson (taught by cousin), 10K practice run

Thanks Jo Lodder for joining our weekly Happy Valley Laps group this Tuesday!

The 21k jogging was followed by a great fireside chat with Jo about his challenge running the 5 trails of Hong Kong - Tinworth, Wilson, Hong Kong, Maclehose and Lantau 388km with D+ 19,500m of elevation. Our members were exited to learn how all started, where the idea came from, the money raised and the people Run For Freedom helped and the highs and lows along the way.
