I saw one event the other day under 'Fun Run' category

Anyway I'm not thinking of running for winning or teh money. Just enough to participate and not come in last

for some reason, i like the shah alam 10k event.

basically by paying 10 bucks and getting all the freedies is worthy imo. somemore on that day you can run on loose without worrying that you will get hit by a car

many leng chai leng lui participate too. good for your eyes.

*points to her gender tag*

it's genuine

lol. the only 2 girls around here are you and shadownjass

and one ghey *points to joey the sky*

Hey I do long distance too ! Anything under 5KM that is

Where exactly do you run when taking those timings ?

plan to relocate the venue to titiwangsa for a morning session instead of evening. provided i can wake up in early morning.

Target - 10km in 1hr @ 10kmh

Remarks: Return to Titiwangsa after the last jog in 2005. The morning jog in titiwangsa is always lovely with breezing morning wind and cold air. Manage to complete the first two laps with ease. But starting from 3rd lap, notice that the lower abs muscle start causing problem (cramp). Consequently, the jog is put to a halt. I quess it will take some time adjusting the body to accustom to the longer track in titiwangsa.

Will attempt to finish the course on Sunday.

Training on 18/3: Somehow i decided to do some stretching before the jog. And accidentally injured my back. The training only last for 2.8km and decided to stop due to excessive pain. Following the incident, i can even feel the pain when i am walking or standing. Guess that i will be out of action for a week or two...

Last 1.6km--- 10m00s

Total time: 1hr6m26s

Total Coverage: 10km

Remarks: Take an afternoon nap and wake up at 6:20pm. Arrive Titiwangsa at 6:40pm and the crowd in the park is astonishing. "Eyes on Malaysia" has attracted loads of visitor and also roadside merchandiser... The promotion of Titiwangsa as a tourist spot has definately cause the jogging enthusiast to nearly extinction as i only notice half a dozen fellow jogger during my training.

The performance is 2min/lap out from my peak form back in 2002/2003. But glad that i manage to finish the course after a long absent from running in titiwangsa. Perhaps i can do a little bit better without all the crowd and traffic that overwhelm this small little recreational park.

The new development in titiwangsa has destroy the habitat of the park. as i notice there is swarm of tiny insect found in the park after 7pm which i didnt come accross 2 years ago.

Lesson of the day, avoid jogging in Titiwangsa on Saturday evening by all mean.

1st 2.8km --- 16m52s

2nd 2.8km --- 16m58s

Total time: 33m50s

Total Coverage: 5.6km

Remarks: Start a bit late, result in warm sun light throughout the jog. Try to push in the beginning stage and manage to clock within the 16m/lap range but obviously my breath cannot support the faster pace yet. Consequently, a minor cramp near the lower ab shown a sign of fatique due to overheat/overspeed. Also, i found that im not as determine as before. The mental strength is another aspect to look into perhaps...

Still need a lot of works to fine tune the performance for the up coming competition in April.

Training Summary:

Saturday - 31/3/2007 (8:00 a.m)

3rd 2.8km --- 18m28s

Total time: 54m51s

Total Coverage: 8.4km

Average speed: 9.2kmh

Remarks: So near yet so far. Exhausted in the last stage of the run always sucks. Hopefully can be more resillient after few more attempt as next week there will be a running event.

New hyphothesis: 1) Exhale more than Inhale = Screwed
2) Inhale too rapid/disorder = Screwed

Training Summary:

Saturday - 1/4/2007 (7:45 a.m)

Weather - Cloudy (22'c ~ 24'c approx)

Venue - Titiwangsa recreation park

Target - 10km in 1hr @ 10kmh

1st 2.8km --- 18m35s

Final 1.6km --- 8m46s

Total time: 1h02m19s

Total Coverage: 10km

Average speed: 9.68 kmh

Remarks: Superb weather, seems like its going to rain anytime soon. Having a sluggish start, but there is obvious pick-up in 2nd and 3rd lap thanks to the 2 runners that overtake me. The challenge has boosted my running and inject a temporaly adrenaline rush which push the body towards the limit. I never expected my performance can be improved by 4min+ within a week.

Short of breath in the last 1km sprint, but with some will and determination, has endure the pain near the lower abs.

Hopefully the following session in next saturday can further finetune the coordination between stride and breathing before the Larian Mesra held on Sunday.

Training Summary:

Saturday - 6/4/2007 (7:35 a.m)

Weather - Cloudy (23'c ~ 24'c approx)

Venue - Titiwangsa recreation park

Target - 10km in 1hr @ 10kmh

1st 2.8km --- 18m24s

2nd 2.8km --- 17m34s

3rd 2.8km --- 17m33s

Final 1.6km --- 9m06s

Total time: 1h02m37s

Total Coverage: 10km

Average speed: 9.58 kmh

Remarks: Awake at 6:15am but the moment i regain concious the clock already pointing at 7:15am...Today startup is a bit conservative in light of tomorrow running event. Yet the results is almost identical with last week performance. There only thing lacking is there isnt any fellow runner that put up a challenge throughout the run and relatively blain training i should say. Larian Bomba entry form is being distribute in titiwangsa and the promoter try to give me a copy and being turn down 3 times in 3 different lap along the run. (hopefully they dont think im LCLY cause i dont want to keep the paper when im training)

Things going smoothly until the last 1km, 2 big fat mama are blocking the narrow track when im trying to boost my speed for a final sprint. The momentum is affacted and believe that indirectly it slow down another 10sec+ which otherwise may stand a chance to beat last week result.

Generally feel a bit more exhausted compare to last sunday run. Almost give-up in the third lap

Larian Mesra Event Summary:

Sunday - 8/4/2007 (7:35 a.m)

Weather - Sunny day (26'c ~ 28'c approx)

Venue - IPK Pudu

Target - 10km in 1hr @ 10kmh

Total time: 1h04m01s

Total Coverage: 10km

Average speed: 9.4 kmh

Remarks: The 10k event suppose to be start 7a.m, but indeed the organiser go for a warm up exercise before the start (wtf, 1st time i come accross an exercise session in running event.). And the 10k flag-off around 7:35am.

Somehow i have a slow start as for the 1st 20min was rallying side-by-side with a lenglui Somehow later on her boyfriend catch up and i decided to accererate faster as the sun is getting hotter by 8a.m.

Throughout the run, there are at least 3 up-hill slope (at least 200m ea i think) that really put the stamina to a test. And was amazed that even after 50min there are still plenty of runners which shown that the competition really attract a lot of participants! (normally when i progress towards 50min the crowd is getting less.)

As for the last 10min, found that i can hardly sprint properly as the route is pack with exhausted runners travelling at walking speed (especially those junior and high school runners). Before reaching the finishing point has stop running for 2 min respectively in 54min and 58min. The slope has taken much endurance out of me.

My 1st running event in 2007, could have done better. Nevertheless, looking forwards for next week BHP Orange run 9km in Damansara.

Good job there. Remember that stamina and endurance isn't built in a day, so keep it up. Will look forward in meeting you in person next week at the BHP Orange Run. Meet at Fitness First entrance. And yes, I agree the warmup was err.. "pathetic"? Hahaha... Subang 10KM Run also got this type of warmup.

deadalus,

am thinking of running 5.8km for Kiwanis Fun Run. It's held with New Balance Pacesetters 15Km 2007 somewhere in May. Hopefully I wont die on it

P/s: Inspired by you
