JAKARTA - Ibnu Jamil is known as an artist who likes sports. Not only as a sports presenter, Ririn Ekawati's husband is also often involved in many sporting events. He also has regular sports activities with his fellow artists.

Some of the sports that Ibnu Jamil usually does are football and running. For him, these two sports have a basic difference, where football must depend on many things, while the sport runs the opposite.

"Sports like football have a lot of dependence, like depending on the field, depending on friends or depending on the joint venture," said Ibnu Jamil when met at Senayan Park, Central Jakarta on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.

"Lu, if you want to play football, you will jointly, because paying for the field now is very expensive. If you run, it only takes time and running shoes, after that it's done," he continued.

For Ibnu Jamil, running is the simplest sport. Therefore, he really likes running. So much likes running, the 40-year-old artist hopes to continue running until his old age.

"So for me, running remains the simplest sport, which is easy to do and can still make you healthy. And most importantly, I want to be able to run until old age, until 70 or 80 years old," he said.

What he said was not without reason, said Ibnu, that running in Japan is actually more in demand by people aged 40 years and over.

"Because it was right out there, when I ran away in Tokyo, it turned out that the percentage of running sports, which was followed by 40 years and over, was bigger than the young ones," he said.

Over time, Ibnu also felt happy with the development of running in Infonesia. Currently, he sees that running is increasingly liked by many people. Unlike a few years ago, running has now become a lifestyle for many people.

"Over time, the running sport began to have many knick-knacks, such as clothes, gears or shoes. So it's getting more stylish and more stylish, so I'm sure there are more and more enthusiasts," he said.

However, back to each other, although many running knick-knacks are quite expensive, Ibnu assesses that these sports can be done at very minimal costs.

"Even though the category now many people say running is expensive because it has become a lifestyle. But back again, you can make running sport cheap, so you hang out yourself, you run for your needs or desires, it's different," he concluded.

Sebagai informasi, Ibnu Jamil bersama Soraya Larasati akan terlibat dalam event olahraga yang dimisiusiasi Lazada. Pada tanggal 11 Juni 2023 mendatang, Ibnu dan Soraya mengajak masyarakat Indonesia untuk turut dalam event Lazada Run.
