3KG!! thats alot...but you have your durians to help you to gain it back , yeah probably thats the reason why..i think ill just rest up till the end of the week

Only 1 Sundown...thats in Singapore..

ahh there is a going to be a Sundown for Malaysia? cool

guys just a question,

for a marathon, when do you start to taper? and what do you do during the tapering period? just rest or do some light runnning or some other activity apart from running?

Its a run that will be held in the night

Use Wright socks if you have blisters on your other parts of your toes, use In-Jin-ji if you have blisters between your toes...

I normally use Injinji for long runs as i tend to get blisters between my toes, for shorter runs i use normal rm 6 pasar malam socks..works for me!

and runners!

Those who coming up for the bridge run this week and doing half mara, why dont we try to meetup aye?

If it doenst rain the day before It'll be humid as heck!

yes Ccube it has been raining in the late evening for the past month,

and to those marathoners for running the PBIM...there will 2 flyovers apart from the middle span of the bridge for you guys to tackle, i see the route is totally different from last year,

all the best..

lucky this year got vests for the half marathoners, unlike last year they gave out t-shirts!

so u gonna run this weekend for PBIM?

All runners coming for the bridge run...WELCOME TO PENANG!!

hey guys!! Penang Bridge was fun! it was much much better organized compared to last year...thats what i feel at least, managed to catch a glimpse of the always smiling Ccube as he powered across the finish line the weather was absolutely beautiful to run especially with the sea breeze on the bridge!

the run for me personally was one of my worst run ever..my mind was totally not into it after the bridge U-Turn..infact i struggled from the starting line itself as i know this route like the back of my head and i know for a fact there was nothing to see to take your mind off, just a dead straight road ahead U-turn and another straight road..got so bored that i stopped halfway and started cheering for those other runners finished in a poor time of 1.53 with cramps all over my abdomen region due to the stop...my pace was on course for a 1.38 but heh...we can think one thing but circumstances leads you to another..

now bring on SC-Singapore Mara!!

guys anyone from here going for the Standard Chartered Marathon next weekend?

this will be my second full marathon, hope to do better than Sundown

wow! Sundown Registration is open! probably will sign up for it this coming Saturday in Expo might as well do 42km phoenix another 84km ha?? hats off man and good luck to you for the Macau Mara....

hey vin ann...yes lets register!! ill try to walk around expo 1st to see if i can they do open a booth for registration....if not probably online, getting a 20% discount if i register by 17th this month since i ran it last year...

but first up is this weekend SCSM

hey steveysl!!


cool you'll be going there also ha?? nice i should be there around 1-ish with friends...taking MRT straight from Changi to Expo then collect bibs then go and check in @ our hotel...

Im thinking of doing the 30km Newton run but not the 12KM 2XU, hehe, hoping that there will be a Sundown Booth open for registration...its super fantastic running in nite!! nothing like it!

hey guys!! back from Singapore Mara..what can i say it was a superbly organised race, fantastic, everything was in order, it was so smooth the collection of the bibs!, it was a far cry from the tarak standard chartered KL mara

as for the race, knocked off 37mins off my previous marathon time, completed in a time of 4.20, and to know that i undertrained for this race and to get that time , im damn satisfied, my training runs were not more than 20 km , i myself am amazed how your mind works really never ever expected to get such a time, also thanks to the pacers who were pacing at 4.15 ran with them for 37kms except the last 5km..cramp attack on thighs and left calf

next marathon coming up for me is the Adidas Sundown and Gold Coast International Marathon!!

aha..Ccube...thanks you know, i wished that i hit at least 38kms for my long runs but the thing is i dont have any partners to run with here in Penang to run long distance sadly , its hard to get motivated to even wake up in the morning and run on weekends..i normally do my long runs alone at 5 am but i wouldnt say that ive not trained... just that ive havent been hitting the km's one should hit weekly when training for a marathon

i took a totally diffrent approach compared to the first mara, where the first one was so regimented, weekly must hit 70KM.. long runs are minimum 30KM and come race day i ended up suffering from the 18km onwards, for this race, my training was very flexible, long runs were barely hitting 22Km and i started only serious training 3 1/2 half months prior for this mara and my weekly mileage was averaging between 40 to 50km only...i normally only do speed and interval runs

i felt so bummed out for the Penang Bridge Half Mara where i stopped and walked at the 18km mark, was honestly fearing the worst for this marathon.. i guess the fear of failure kept me going, wouldnt have stopped at the 37km mark if it wasnt for the cramps as my mind wanted to go on but my body was just begging for to stop and rest just for minute

but there's a saying you reap what you sow..and for the effort that ive put in i got more than anyone can ask for... and as for running its going to take a break till the end of this year, Christmas coming up family and friends to prioritise now...

wow! thanks Ccube for the advice will definitely keep it in mind

hey kenshiro, thanks do come and join the running events!! this month there is going to be the Malakoff 12km

you share yours also la... we give and take ma...
