What are your PBs for half and full marathons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Jiang Tao wanted to venture into running broadcasting, Shan Yang was surprised yet delighted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he’s not great, his years running gave him a deep understanding of the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he managed a running broadcast account, he’d be quite adept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven’t run any half or full marathons yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao shrugged, answering honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?

Lacking confidence in me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shan Yang’s surprised face, Jiang Tao laughed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While I haven’t done half or full marathons, I can push to run 10 kilometers under 30 minutes, I’ve tried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? How fast can you run 10 kilometers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shan Yang was shocked, thinking Jiang Tao must be joking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running enthusiasts would consider 37 to 40 minutes for 10 kilometers quite impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under 35 minutes is seen as extraordinary talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running under 30 minutes would be impressive even in the national team!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jiang Tao can achieve that, he’s a guru in the running community!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just needs to attend an official race to prove his capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then with some management, he could quickly gain followers and attention.\u003C\u002Fp>",1339,"2026-05-30T11:56:10.972Z","2026-06-01T04:31:10.297Z",1,"novelbin.me","8592b0b3f63bf234e557ccfb4a24774a0e84a4e1c38c91916dd461a16d9c0c2d","daily-intelligence-system-financial-independence-chapter-105","daily-intelligence-system-financial-independence-chapter-104",544,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdaily-intelligence-system-financial-independence-cover.jpg"]
