He stumbled upon his liking for long-distance running\nat an external competition, which he attended only because the university\ncouldn\u2019 t recruit enough faculty members to form a team. He took to liking this\nnew-found sport after completing three kilometres at the competition. But he didn\u2019t\nfall in love with it until after he met one of the best health coaches in\nMacao, who is himself a veteran long-distance runner. With the encouragement\nand professional guidance of this coach, Kwan started running every day, and\nhas never looked back.<\/p>\n\n<p>A modest person by nature, Kwan thinks of himself\nas an amateur when it comes to long-distance running. \u2018I\u2019m not in the same league\nas professional runners,\u2019 he says. \u2018And the reason that I have been able to\nkeep running is because I\u2019m a diligent person, but I don\u2019t think diligence\nalone is going to get me to the professional level. Some people are just born with\nnatural advantages that make them better runners.\u2019<\/p>\n\n<p>Keeping Pace with a Fast Changing City<\/p>\n\n<p>Over the past decade, Kwan has maintained a\ndaily running routine, but his running route has changed several times because\nof the rapid development of the city and the accompanying construction projects\nthat have sprung up everywhere. He used to run from his home to the Coloane\nVillage via the Cotai Strip. \u2018The Cotai Strip used to be the only road\nconnecting Taipa and Coloane, with few people and very light traffic, which\nmade it a perfect running route, but now construction projects are everywhere,\u2019\nhe says. His current running route covers the taipa end of Sai Van Bridge,\nGalaxy\/Broadway Macau, the entrance of the underwater tunnel leading to UM\u2019s\nnew campus, The Venetian, and the downtown area in Taipa. He would usually have\na brunch in downtown Taipa before heading back home. During his morning runs,\nKwan has witnessed the changes of the city as a result of the rapid economic\ngrowth. \u2018Macao is a city with enormous potential.\nIt may well become the next start-up incubation centre,\u2019 he days.<\/p>\n\n<p>Preferring Solitary Sports<\/p>\n\n<p>It turns out Kwan used to play table tennis\na lot and was very good at it. He \u2018ditched\u2019 this old hobby to embrace\nlongdistance running because table tennis requires a partner while running is a\nsolitary sport one can do on his own. Still, with teaching, research, interview\nrequests from the media, and a million other things to attend to, it\u2019s not\nalways easy for Kwan to find the time for running. But he sticks to it because\nrunning helps him decompress. \u2018I always feel happier after running,\u2019 he says. Kwan\nparticipated in a half marathon in 2014. Although he didn\u2019t win any prizes, he\nfelt the experience itself was worth all the effort, because for him participating\nin competitions is less about the outcome and more about challenging himself.\nThis year, on 6 December, he participated in another half marathon, an international\nevent organised by the Macau Galaxy Entertainment. He finished the half\nmarathon in 1 hour, 58 minutes, and 39 seconds, which he thinks is \u2018not too\ngood and not&nbsp;too bad\u2019.<\/p><p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: My UMStumbling Upon a New Hobby Dr Kwan Fung is from the Department of Economics, Faculty of Social Sciences.
