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.

Don't forget to have a well-nutricious diet too.

Well... This is me. The day before a run or marathon, I will take a good rest. No workouts, just basically relaxing and clearing my mind. As for diet, I'll load myself up with carbo, mainly rice or pasta. The amount is depending on the run the next day whether 10KM, 21KM or 42KM.

An example will be my recent 42KM KLIM 2007. Lunch, I went for banana leaf rice the day before. Took around 2.5 bowls of rice but I cut down on spicy stuff. As for dinner, I had pasta before going back home to sleep at 8pm. On the marathon day itself, 2 hours before the run, I took a bowl of cereal with just a bit of milk and took a PowerBar performance energy bar with 500ml of water to ease nutrients absorption. And 30 minutes before the run, I took a PowerBar Gel together with 500ml of water. And along the way, every 10KM or an hour I will down another PowerBar Gel when needed.

Banana is a good source of potasium and energy. For those whose stomach can take it, it is highly recommended. I can't take it before a run as banana is high in fiber and will cause me to go to the loo.

There is no need to be ashame of yourself. You did great in the run and soon you will be able to clock below an hour.

Congratz. You are certainly getting better and better. Keep it up.

Woohoo... You did it man! You broke 60 minutes! CONGRATZ!

The human threshold is said to be 30KM. Anything more than that, it all up in the head.

You might wanna go for a check like me. I'm might be going for a MRI scan after the Subang Run.

8KM is pretty good already. If you keep running, 8KM will turn into 10KM, then 15KM, then 21KM and more.
