HONG KONG - A fanatical runner jogged the equivalent of an ultra-marathon inside his small apartment as people in virus-hit China desperately try to keep fit while cooped up indoors.
But Mr Pan Shancu has easily won the unofficial gold medal, saying he jogged 66km in a loop at home in six hours, 41 minutes. "I am in an online chat group in which people are asking what we want to do most after the epidemic," said Mr Pan, a massage therapist and dedicated long-distance runner.China's ruling Communist Party has launched a campaign featuring Olympic athletes to demonstrate how people can stay fit while spending endless days stuck inside.
"In addition to letting children help parents do some chores within their ability, they must get creative at home," government expert Zhao Wenhua told a press conference.Some people have turned to technology, using apps on their smartphones that show how to work out without equipment and sharing the results with their friends.
Like hundreds of millions of others, his movements have been severely restricted by the Chinese authorities in an attempt to stop the deadly virus spreading.
