The courage to continue is what counts.
- Emily Chan
- An Actress from NTV7 & A Running Enthusiast
The seemingly impossible happens in sports. Having never engaged in any kind of sports, Emily found herself involved in running just less than a year ago! Since then, she has fathomed the amazingness of running and couldn’t stop herself from doing it.
Emily Chan needs no introduction in Malaysia, as her familiar face is what you get to watch on the TV screen every day!
– I have never pictured myself becoming someone in the entertainment industry. It just happened merely 6 years ago when an opportunity came knocking on my door. I thought to myself, “Why not?” I believe I was lucky and was able to make it great in the industry.
– Acting as my priority in life, I have always appreciated what it has exerted me. It is like a Doraemon’s pocket, which allows me to endeavour different characters, scripts and stories. I have learned the wisdom within as well!
– The 6-year journey of being an actress is not easy. It takes hard work, endurance, patience and determination to obtain who I am and what I have today. Also, it helps me to discover more of my inner self by challenging my limits. Just like running! Both have developed a new kind of lifestyle for me.
– Running is like a whole new world to me. It is beyond just a physical exercise as I have to take care of my heartbeat, pulse, pacing, etc. My boyfriend motivates me to run as it improves not only my well-being, but also overcomes my work pressure.
– I started running as an amateur by opting for a 5km fun run. As a beginner, it was rather tough for me because of my unstable endurance and stamina. Going on a 9-week training before the 21km Mizuno Shah Alam Wave Run 2016 was splendid as I got to ameliorate my body strength and endurance. It has also become my best run. Although it was a strenuous one, I was satisfied with my performance to make the entire route through.
