yes you can , from the MRT station to Bukit Kiara is about 1.5km based on google map distance .
one loop bukit kiara (which not inclusive with the trail) about 5km with 160m gain

Hi, since your weekly mileage is still at a relatively lower side, I suggest you train for a HM first. A HM training normally requires a weekly mileage of between 30 - 40 km, which I think is not a too big jump from your current 21 km. If you want to train properly for a FM, you need to commit yourself to around 60 - 70 km.

Once you already have a few HM races under your belt, then attempt for a FM. All the best 

interesting, how you train

I did not do sub4 like you la, but my training for my FM also is not as powerful as the rest here 
I manage to sub5, and personally (and this is a personal opinion) all I did was make sure I train for endurance. FM is an endurance test. You maintain a pace of 7mins per km in your training, then you should be able to do sub5. And my training is usually between 8-10km, 3 times a week (on lazy weeks, only twice haha).

But nowadays I don't run FM anymore. I cannot take the never-ending tarmac 

any tips to maintain pace longer?
i can maintain 7m/km pace for the first 10 ~ 15 minutes only
after that my legs become so tired and i have to walk for a few minutes before cont the running

Yeah but obstacle races are not as stressful as time is less of an issue. A lot of waiting and resting while queuing for obstacles. 

A friend of mine who join together in obstacle races tried his 1st FM and he finished in 8 hours plus.

He seems shaken and said he prolly wont do FM again anytime soon. That scared me a little lol.

I dont drink/smoke but when it comes to eating i barely held myself lol. loads of fast food too lol

Twincity the cut off time is 8 hours im sked i wont make it. Thats why i googled a bit and saw ppl say the best bet to survive is follow galloway walk/run method so i guess it's worth a try.

How many HM u joined ady? Stanchart the cut off time is even shorter just 7 hours. I didnt manage to register that one sold out dy 

yea i didnt ask him about the details. he probably stopped for injury or something.

is it a stretch to say that its possible complete a marathon under 8 hours if you just walk all the way?

hmm been using endomondo for a while now and a bit reluctant to change because of all the records and everything in there ady. but my new phone (redmi 4x) have some stupid gps issue. the app cant access gps if the screen is locked. was wondering if using other app will solve it.

it's the first thing i tried. didn't work

I'm thinking of buying those chapalang imitation compression tights (around rm40-60) online.

Don't expect them to be as good as original 2xu or under armour or something but wondering how good they are.

Anybody got experience using those? Does the compression even work at all? Got suggestions?

Rm400+?
Im a beginner trail running. Not sure will run long term or not so i dont want to invest expensive shoes first. Hehe.

100km in one go. Usually the cut off time is around 1-2 days. I think up to you how you plan to use your time as long as u can make it within the COT.

I'm curious oso how people usually rest in 100km runs. Do they went all the way without even a nap? Maybe allocate 1 or 2 hours for it? Short nap every stop?

Speaking of gel.

In my earlier years of running, I used to take gels for my long runs. After 2 years of experimenting, I HONESTLY couldn't find how it helps me in any friggin way -  I know a lot of people who will swear by using gels. So I stopped taking gels and just make sure I am well hydrated before, during and after run. Eat enough rice, pasta and potatoes before race (I don't have other food mantras, feel free to add). If you join ultra race, then most ultras sure got watermelon along the way, just grab those and go. Salt - important. Kurma or Snickers to avoid empty stomach. And gummies to keep me happy before I hit the invisible wall you guys keep mentioning about, LOL.

But most of all, TRAINING CUKUP TAK? Kalau tak cukup training, makan 10 gel pun tak guna kbye.

i myself carry 500ml bottle, dont like the crowd during first 10kms (if its 5km gap between water stations)

its not about time, its about the crowd
