d3vilzzz: the rest day on 2nd week is depend on u. If u feel running 5k at easy pace is easy run, then it can be ur training distance. Easy run mean after the run u still feel u could repeat the whole distance easily. If 10k is easy for u, no feel of fatigue for next day, then can be done oso.

The rest day placement is really up to u. But i might do so:
Sun : 10k
Mon : Rest
Tue : 5k
Wed : Rest
Thursday : 5k
Fri : Rest
Sat : Rest
Sun : Race

Honestly, recently i am not really keeping my running into any programme. Not because of any good reason, but just lack of self-discipline and lazy... 
Anyway, hope u will have a good debut in the GE Run!

Haha, up to u, as long u feel comfortable and can feel fresh.

20k... For the pass 2 runs (Borneo and Penang), i brought 2 gels, take 1 at 10k, another 1 at 16k. Personally i would bring my hydration belt, carrying 2 small bottles. But it's up to u. Better at least bring a small bottle for early stage cos the water station might be crowded.

You are welcome.
Eating gel... just like sucking some syrup. Quite sticky, need to drink some water or wash ur mouth after sucked the gel. Normally i will take it when i saw a water station in front of me, so i can get some water to wash mouth after taking the gel. The effect might come later, not so fast. May be 15mins - 30mins. Some even 45mins...
