I have always enjoyed running, and while I prefer to escape to the trails, I still get a kick out of a good road run, or even a session on the treadmill. Running clears my mind and gives me a rare chance to escape from the digital world and just think.

Initially, I focused on track and road running, but I have developed a taste for trail running and ultra-marathons in recent years.

From 2008 to 2012, I completed RacingThePlanet's 4Deserts - four 250km-stage races over seven days in four deserts around the world - and training for those events required me to explore different trails and running terrain. Living in Clear Water Bay enabled me to do most of my running right from my doorstep.
