Chapter 221: Running Two Marathons
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Forty kilometers was almost a marathon. (An actual marathon is 42.195 kilometers long).

It would not be strange if an athlete could finish a marathon, of course, but Normans was still 90 kilograms now.

Running a marathon with her weight was not only a test of her stamina, but also one of her willpower.

When they arrived at the stadium, even Normans’ jacket was wet.

“Drink some water.” Chen Zhao passed her a bottle of water.

She downed all the water one mouthful. As she walked to relieve the soreness in her muscles, she looked at Chen Zhao.

“Asshole, are you not tired at all?”

“Of course I am.”

“But you look like you can run much more.”

“I wouldn’t say that. Can’t you see I’m covered in sweat?” Chen Zhao said.

Normans placed her hand on Chen Zhao’s chest. “Your heart rate is normal. Are you a monster?”

“Chen.” They could already see Bord waving his hand in the distance.

Chen Zhao walked up and gave Bord a hug. Bord felt Chen Zhao’s sweat. “Chen, why are you covered in sweat?”

“My friend and I just ran a marathon’s distance,” Chen Zhao answered. “This is Normans. I’m her slimming coach now. This is Bord, a professional fitness coach.”

“Hi…” Bord and Normans shook each other’s hand.

“Chen, are you a full-time coach now?”

“Nope, she’s only one of my clients,” Chen Zhao replied.

Normans twitched her lips. “Which of you is more professional, I wonder?”

She was deliberately trying to provoke the two of them. Chen Zhao and Bord looked at each other and smiled together.

They would not be incited by Normans’ taunt. After all, Bord had even received his current job from Chen Zhao.

As Rufford’s coach, he had a decent income at the moment.

He could not thank Chen Zhao enough. Clearly, he would not be angry at Chen Zhao.

“Alright. It’s about time that we should enter.”

“Bord, what competition is this?”

“National Elite. If Rufford can perform well here, he will probably be eligible for Diamond League next year.”

“Rufford? I know him. I’ve watched his competitions before,” Normans said immediately. “Is your friend Rufford?”

“Yup.”

“Chen is also Rufford’s private doctor. Just over a month ago, Rufford was at the trough of his life. Luckily, he met Chen.”

After bringing Chen Zhao and Normans to their seats, Bord went to the backstage.

When Rufford came out onto the field, he looked at Chen Zhao’s direction. Then, he waved his hand.

Chen Zhao nodded gently in return. Normans glanced at him. “Are you very close?”

“Kind of. I’ve helped him before, but I’m also investing in him.”

“Is his result now because of you?”
