'Extreme 84' Kwon Hwa-woon showed strategic traits.
On the 7th broadcast of MBC entertainment show "Extreme 84," Kian84, who took on his first trail marathon in life, was shown facing a "hell section" that continued with downhill·sand·uphill.
That day, while Kian84 stopped running at 3km, Kwon Hwa-woon maintained a fast pace and ran without ever resting. Showing light movements, he shortened his stride to reduce energy consumption and shared his own tips.
Maintaining a pace of 4 minutes 10 seconds per km, he said, "I'll go at a 4-minute pace for the first 15km. I think not only marathons but all of life is strategy. You have to think and devise a strategy," and revealed he had been analyzing it for as long as two months.
He added, "I'll run 5 seconds slower than my average pace. I prepared energy to attempt a late surge. The course includes mud, silt, sand, and gravel to cross and it's not easy. The altitude is high. When it exceeds 1,000m, Koreans' heart rates rise and it's hard to breathe," and said he practiced on uphill running courses.
Having trained for a month nonstop, Kwon Hwa-woon said, "If there's uphill, there's downhill. Downhill is the flower of trail running," and declared, "I ran 512km in a month, and my goal is first place."
In the studio, Kian84 surprised everyone by saying, "I saw last year's first place record and thought if I run at this pace I'll be first," and Kwon Hwa-woon even revealed he had prepared plan A, plan B and plan C, showing his mania and attracting attention.<
