Eh, chill la.

If there are ppl that chooses not to drink, their pasal la. at the end of the day, their own body.

Lol ok it seems that you got your words mixed up euphoria.

Marathons are 42km runs.

5-7km runs are not called marathons.

No offense, but go click and see what is in the spoiler
You said .. [marathon if running all the way it is advised nt to drink at all]
so either you do not knw the definition of a marathon or....

Aaah.. and i thought ppl participate to try running/ completing the entire distance before succumbing to walking to complete the distance..

Apa ni..
Is there any miscommunication somewhere?

NICELY pointed out...

Erm, hv you found out the definition of a marathon..
If you have yet to do so, just go back a couple of pages..

owh ok sorry mistaken. What do you call it anyway?

None taken. Cuz to me 5km is called a marathon cuz imma girl kay... hehe.
Nope. Been into runs, 5km-10km, alot ppl join to talk/laugh/joke. xtau buat ape. OMG.

For seasoned runners, yes we don't need to drink at times for 8 - 10KM. It all depends on your body.


Its simple. If you're hungry, you'll eat right?

they are called typical runs
yea, they talk, laugh, joke... socialize but who doesn't want to go there to complete the distance be it running or walking?

Sry but I felt that's disgracing your own gender. Dont blame it for your own ignorance.

On a lighter note, it's good that you're into long-distance running. Keep it up.

well, i think most of us will drink. i can see the pro drinking during the run.

Yeap.

owh ok, sorry for the misunderstanding cuz I tot you're talking about 5km pulak den say muz drink water I was like, hahh?
haha yea they complete the distance but to me its more onto building up your patience, stamina etc. So its more relevant to run and try to do it non stop the whole way then to chit chatty.

woiii. It is not a nais thing to say k. People around me uses the word 'marathon' for 5KM and above, and I was lead into this thinking w/o checking out the real meaning. Yes, thats my fault.
No I am not into long-distance running. I dun like it. I am in it cause I am forced to cuz I'm good at it.
And yes, I kenot say no.

Marathon is an overused word. I pointed that out before. I almost burst into laughter but yet sad at the same time reading the past few posts.

Ultra marathon: Any distance more than 42.195KM
Marathon: 42.195KM
Half marathon: 21.1KM
Quarter marathon: 10KM

Please get this facts right before issueing a statement here. One wrong statement may costs a person's life here.

why?

i'm training for my upcoming 1/2 mara. due to my laziness i've just started training.
i'm wondering if power gels are really necessary? cos its quite expensive la.
any good substitute for power gels that are cheaper or just as good?

suggestions needed.

to me those power bars/power gels are used to build up confidence. It does help a lil, yes, but no obvious difference.

as i said before, personal preference
nothing to be shy or worried abt even if you run 3/5km and hv the need to drink...

GREAT so nw you can go educate the ppl around you..

Phoenix has kindly pointed this fact out a million times..
Hence all it takes I would say to save a life is the "search" button here OR take the effort to read the previous thread versions and pages

sorry as u can c I'm kinda new in the runnerz thread
why save a life again?

Don't play play.
She's an 18minute 5km-er.

Cuz a person might dehydrate and die because you said don't drink for a marathon.

maybe I have dehydrated body that needs more replenishment compared to seasoned runners......I really sweat a heck lot.....for a 10 or 11k, underwear also wet like nobody biz.......

I would say take the distance bit by bit.. train slowly..
It depends on what sorta distance you are running, if you are running below 15km for your LSD you do not need the gels..
Most of us here run 20km for training on Sats without gel, but we do take a water break at the 10km mark..
We have been running for quite a bit though..

Hw do u feel after a 10km run?
What abt a 15km run?

Here you go again??!!
No obvious difference? where are you quoting this from? where is proof?
