Previous winners have expressed that the weather in the competition is conducive to the results
Beijing Marathon began in 1981 and has been successfully held for 39 sessions so far. Almost every year the competition is held in September and October. Especially after entering the 21st century, the Beijing Marathon has been held in mid-to-late October for a long time. In the past four years, the Beijing Marathon has changed the race date to mid-to-late September.
The only exception in nearly 20 years is the 2012 Beijing Marathon, which was postponed to November 25, and is considered the "coldest" North Horse. It is reported that the temperature in Beijing that day was -2℃ to 8℃. In the end, Ethiopian player Ruby won the men's group championship with 2 hours, 9 minutes and 39 seconds, and Jia Chaofeng won the women's group championship with 2 hours, 27 minutes and 40 seconds. Compared with other competitions, the two champions' results are not bad, and Ruby's results can even rank 8th among the men's championships in previous years.
This year's North Malaysia competition date is also late, and the competition was held again in November after many years. The impact of the weather on the contestants can be said to be unknown. The North Malaysia Organizing Committee has issued warm reminders to the contestants through various channels before the competition, suggesting that everyone wears warm enough clothes to go to the starting point.
From the entire competition process, the temperature along the track is always below 10 degrees Celsius. After the light rain in the morning, the road surface is relatively slippery and the air humidity is relatively high, avoiding the direct sunlight and the influence of high temperatures. At least from the performance of elite players, the overall results are very ideal.
men's champion KISORIO finished the race in 2 hours, 07 minutes and 06 seconds, successfully improving the North Marseille record by 10 seconds; NAIBEI, the third-place leader in men's group, successfully setting a new personal best result with 2 hours, 10 minutes and 15 seconds; KEBEDE completed the race in 2 hours, 23 seconds and 31 seconds, and the results can be ranked among the top 5 of the previous women's champions.
women's champion KEBEDE said after the game, "The weather is still good today, and the overall event environment of North Malaysia is also very good, and I performed well." Although the men's champion KISORIO did not create a personal best result, the 2-hour, 7-minute, 06-second championship result made him successfully break the North Marathon record. "I am very happy to win the first place and set a new record. The weather in this competition is indeed beneficial to my performance. I hope to come here again and achieve better results."

From 1982 to 1986, the early North Marseille record broke 4 times in five years. In 1986, Japanese player Yasuke Otaya won the championship with 2 hours, 7 minutes and 35 seconds and significantly set the tournament record. This record lasted for 27 years.
1988, Ethiopian player Abebe finished the game with 2 hours, 7 minutes and 35 seconds, tying the match record held by Japanese player Otatsu Yasuke.

Running into 2 hours and 30 minutes again Li Zhixuan aims at Tokyo Olympics
2018 is the year when Li Zhixuan became famous. When she participated in the North Malaysia for the first time last year, Li Zhixuan finished the race in 2 hours, 31 minutes and 56 seconds, creating her personal best result, second only to another marathon star, , He Yinli, , and ranked second in the women's group in the country. When she appeared in the North Marathon again this year, Li Zhixuan was already a veritable "marathon number" in China. She lived up to expectations and ran for 2 hours, 29 minutes and 06 seconds, ranking second among all female athletes, and successfully climbed to the podium.
html At the beginning of the year, at the Nagoya Marathon, Li Zhixuan made a big comeback in 2 hours, 26 minutes and 15 seconds, successfully meeting the Tokyo Olympics. In the subsequent Chongqing Marathon and Wuhan Marathon, Li Zhixuan's momentum remained unabated and both finished the competition with excellent results. At this year's Berlin Marathon, Li Zhixuan originally expected to refresh her PB significantly again, but due to health reasons such as colds, she severely slowed down in the race and finished the race in 2 hours, 54 minutes and 38 seconds.This year's North Horse Race ran 2 hours and 30 minutes and successfully climbed to the podium. In the eyes of the outside world, this is a very good result, but Li Zhixuan herself still feels a little regretful. She admitted that her physical condition has somewhat affected the performance of North Horse. "The ranking is relatively high, but the results are average. Because the health has not been particularly good in the past month, I didn't expect that I could get the second place in this situation. Overall, I was satisfied. If I was in good health, my grades should be better, and the time, place, and people are indispensable."
Of course, Li Zhixuan still felt the advantages of North Horse playing at home. During the competition, Li Zhixuan stayed in second place most of the time, but was chased closely by Ethiopian player MULU behind him in the second half of the competition, and finally won the runner-up with only 3 seconds advantage. "Thanks to the audience for their enthusiastic support, someone has always told me which one is in the road. There are a few people in front and the back is about to catch up. Without everyone's encouragement, they may keep falling down, and maybe they will fall to third place."
Since it has long reached the 2-hour, 29 minutes and 30-second entry standard for the women's marathon of the Tokyo Olympics, Li Zhixuan's next main goal will be the Olympics, "I will continue to improve my level and prepare for the competition seriously.At present, there is still a big gap between my level and excellent players. ”
