When I'm running backwards, it almost feels like I'm flying

當我倒退跑時，我感覺我像在飛

because it's such a different visual perspective,

因為看到的景色很不一樣

seeing how far I've gone as opposed to how far I need to go.

向前跑是見到自己還有多遠要跑，而向後則是看到自己跑了多遠

When you're going backwards you can really just

當你向後跑時你真的是在

take a step back, literally, and enjoy what you're doing.

向後退，你也會很享受你在做的事

Hi, I'm Aaron Yoder.

嗨，我是 Aaron Yoder

I'm a backwards runner.

我是位倒退跑者

I have the world record for the fastest mile ran backwards.

我擁有全世界向後跑最快的紀錄

My fastest backwards mile time is

我一英里 (1.6km) 倒退跑最快的紀錄是

five minutes and 54 seconds.

I've been running forward for over 20 years.

我向前跑步跑了超過 20 年

I started running competitively

我最初開始賽跑時

when I was in elementary school,

是在我國小的時候

and then ran on scholarship during my early twenties.

之後又在二十幾歲時因跑步拿到獎學金

I ran so much that I sustained a knee injury.

我的膝蓋因為跑太多而受傷

My doctor told me to stop running,

我的醫生要我停止跑步

and I really didn't wanna stop,

但我根本不想停止跑步

so I knew I had to make some sorta change.

不過我知道我必須做出改變

(upbeat music)

(音樂)

Retro running or backwards running is where

向後跑基本上就是

you're literally just running in reverse,

跑反方向

and there's no impact on my knee.

而這個方式不會對我的膝蓋造成太大的衝擊

I run backwards everywhere.

不論什麼地點我都向後跑

I run backwards on the treadmill,

在跑步機上、

I run backwards on the track,

操場、

and also out on country roads.

還有鄉間道路

Backwards running feels great on my knee

向後跑使我的膝蓋感覺良好

I don't feel anything,

我並沒有感覺到不舒服

which is a reason why I really enjoy it.

這也是為什麼我很喜歡向後跑

Stay tall, knee up.

背挺直，膝蓋抬高

There we go.

就是這樣

Stand up, good job.

很好

When I'm coaching my track team,

當我在帶我的田徑隊時

I occasionally have them run backwards

我有時候會讓他們向後跑

as to enhance and diversify their training workouts.

讓他們增加訓練的多樣化

Onward and upward, good job.

大家表現得越來越好了

Way to go, good warm up there.

剛剛的熱身表現得很好

There's more backwards runners out there

其實向後跑的跑者

than one would think.

比你想像的還多

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people

如果沒有幾千，也有幾百個人

that decide to run in reverse.

都決定向後跑

The last World Championships there were

上一次的世界比賽

over 20 countries represented and close to 200 athletes.

有 20 個國家參加，共有近 200 位選手參賽

Backwards running has allowed me to see things

向後跑讓我看到

in a little bit different perspective.

不一樣的視野

In a world where everyone goes forward

在這個世界，大家都在向前跑

and I'm going backwards, it's really allowed me

而我則向後，這讓我

to just get back to competing against myself

回到與自己比賽的狀態

and not be so concerned when other people are doing it,

也不用去擔心別人表現的如何

and I found great gratification in the fact that

而其實我感到相當滿足

I'm just competing against my own shadow.

只和我自己的影子比賽
