This morning, Beijing Yizhuang International Enterprise Culture Park held a challenge. The protagonist of the challenge was Jia Orenga. After a winter highland winter training, he hoped to test his training results. Finally, he completed the half horse challenge in 1 hour, 2 minutes and 23 seconds, which exceeded the national record of half horse in China.
The domestic men's half marathon record was 1 hour, 2 minutes and 51 seconds, which was set by Dong Guojian in the Yangzhou Marathon in 2009. Today's challenge is that the track is about 4.5km in a single lap, and the pace setters take turns to lead him. Similar to the mode of Kipchak breaking the 2:00 mark that year, Jia Oren finished the race in 62 minutes and 23 seconds, with an average pace of 2:56 seconds, which exceeds the national record of 28 seconds, but this result cannot be certified.
Although the results could not be verified, there was no doubt about Jia Orenga's strength. In the past two years, with the rise of Chinese racing, people have been making progress towards breaking the national record. The closest one was the Huandong half horse in Xiamen the year before last. Peng Jianhua, with a time of 1 hour, 03 minutes and 03 seconds, almost broke the half horse record without limit. Last year, Renshou half horse, Jiang Fakun also made such achievements.
At present, Jia Orenga is regarded as one of the strongest runners outside the system. He has no professional team background. From the Berlin Marathon to the Guangdong Marathon, he has broken the limit again and again. In the 2020 Shanghai Marathon, he ran 2 hours, 12 minutes and 44 seconds to win the championship, which is also his best performance in the whole marathon.
