奧克蘭的活動是每週五上午在紐西蘭、澳洲、英國甚至紐約市各地舉行的 10 多場活動之一。

I started probably August last year and for me it's just like being around this environment of people is just a really great start to the day.

我大概是去年八月開始工作的，對我來說，在這樣的環境中工作是一天的好開始。

So it's kind of been a new thing for me but I've met so many new people, new friends through the running communities and all the different running groups that you can be a part of, it's a massive thing.

是以，這對我來說是件新鮮事，但我通過跑步社區和所有不同的跑步團體認識了很多新朋友，這是一件大事。

It's like a virus actually.

實際上，這就像一種病毒。

I always consider running is like a virus, you spread it and there you go, you start sending it and then your communities start growing.

我一直認為跑步就像一種病毒，你傳播它，它就會出現，你開始發送它，然後你的社區就會開始壯大。

The popular Run Club's just one of many that's seen a recent boom in numbers.

深受歡迎的跑步俱樂部只是最近人數激增的眾多俱樂部之一。

Around last August I'd say we really saw quite a bit of growth.

And when I say lots of new faces I mean thousands and thousands of brand new runners, never seen them before.

我說的 "新面孔 "指的是成千上萬從未見過他們的全新跑步者。

It is cool, it's trendy to do a half I think.

這很酷，我覺得做半身像很時髦。

It's the new marathon, right, in New Zealand, it's really the new cool thing to do and it's much more accessible for a lot of people as well.

在紐西蘭，這是新的馬拉松，對吧，這確實是新的酷事，而且對很多人來說也更容易接受。

It comes amid a so-called running revolution on social media as running content trends on apps like Instagram and TikTok.

I watch everybody at events nowadays getting very involved with taking the photos and the videos and telling the stories.

我看到如今每個人在活動中都非常投入，拍攝照片和視頻，講述故事。

I think storytelling has been a really big thing.

我認為講故事是一件非常重要的事情。

We see things pop up on TikTok, on Instagram, everyone's reposting and sharing and then the next week new people will come along and they'll be like, oh I saw you on TikTok or I saw you on Instagram.

我們看到 TikTok、Instagram 上出現了一些東西，每個人都在轉發和分享，然後下週就會有新的人出現，他們會說，哦，我在 TikTok 上看到你了，或者我在 Instagram 上看到你了。

So I definitely think it's been a big part in the growth.

是以，我認為這絕對是增長的一個重要部分。

在其他地方，這個數字大約是 13000，而且還在上升、下降、上升、下降。

The most I've seen so far is ankles and knees.

目前我看到的最多的是腳踝和膝蓋。

You get some hips sometimes and then some occasional lower backs or upper back pain.

臀部有時會痛，腰部或上背部偶爾也會痛。

But a lot of the times it's usually soft tissue injuries from knees and ankles.

但很多時候通常是膝蓋和腳踝的軟組織受傷。

There's a number of easy ways to prevent injury such as investing in a decent pair of shoes.

有很多簡單的方法可以防止受傷，比如投資一雙合適的鞋子。

Another thing that's really important is some people once they get into running they want to do it all the time whereas it's actually much better for your body and even for your performance to take rest days.

另一件非常重要的事情是，有些人一旦開始跑步，就想一直跑下去，而實際上，休息幾天對你的身體甚至對你的表現都會好得多。

But in the unfortunate case injury does strike.

但在不幸的情況下，傷害確實會降臨。

Seek for professional advice.
