>Man runs marathon on balcony
法男子完成'陽臺馬拉松'
One runner didn't let the French government's order to remain indoors prevent him from training for a marathon amid the coronavirus pandemic.
在新冠肺炎疫情期間，一名法國跑步愛好者沒有因為法國政府的居家命令而停止馬拉松訓練。
Last week, Elisha Nochomovitz, a 32-year-old furloughed restaurant worker, ran the length of a marathon — on his 23-foot long balcony.
上周，暫時休假在家的32歲餐廳員工以利沙·諾科莫維茨在家中23英尺長(約合7米)的陽臺上跑完了全程馬拉松(42.195公裡)。
And he did it in six hours and 48 minutes, a personal record nearly double that of his previous finish time.
他用6小時48分鐘的時間完成了這次"陽臺馬拉松"，是他之前全程馬拉松個人記錄時長的近兩倍。
Although Nochomovitz has run 36 marathons, he said his balcony marathon was the most challenging.
儘管諾科莫維茨已經跑了36次馬拉松，他說這次"陽臺馬拉松"最具挑戰性。
Due to the short length of the balcony, Nochomovitz was unable to gain any momentum or speed as he had to constantly turn back and forth.
由於陽臺很短，諾科莫維茨無法增加動力或加快速度，因為他必須不斷地來迴轉圈。
He said he ran about 3,000 laps.
他說他跑了大約3000圈。
