Sports: Trail running, road running, water sports
Sport Leader at Decathlon Shatin store
As an outdoor sports enthusiast, Kit is passionate about trail running and underwater diving – he trains on a daily basis and finished the Guangzhou half marathon in 1 hour and 30 minutes. However, as a teenager he did not believe that he had a talent for sports. “At secondary school, I wasn’t very good at running – I came in second last during a 1500 m race. But now I enjoy running every day before going to work, which improves my self-confidence and really helps to get me going for the day."
I do both road running and trail running – the longest race I’ve ever done was a 60 km trail run.” Kit runs for 1 hour every day, either on an athletics track or on the trails around Tsing Yi. He clocks up around 60 to 70 km a week. “After the pandemic, I’d like to go to Australia and run the Gold Coast Half Marathon – the conditions there are perfect for running a personal best, and I used to study in Australia.” Kit’s passion for running has helped him to stay disciplined, and also convinced him to join Decathlon.
