There is a large contingent of runners heading from Hong Kong to Portugal for the 2019 Trail World Championships, but there are only two people officially representing the city.
Leung Ying-suet is one of Hong Kong’s best female trail runners, having spent years carving a reputation on the steep hills and staircases of the city’s trails as a supremely fit and fast competitor. This year she will join Wong Ho-chung for her second shot at the title.
She speaks with Mark Agnew and Mary Hui about her preparations on the trails of Hong Kong for the 50-kilometre (31 miles) race in the Louzan mountain range around Miranda do Corvo, about 200 kilometres (125 miles) north of the Portuguese capital Lisbon. We also hear how the heat, humidity and rain she’s used to training in has contributed to her fitness and stamina.
