would really like to run and get the medal and t-shirt in its inaugural year. but wonder if i would be ready by then. Only started running for 3 and half months. plus another 128 days issit enuf training? never even run a half marathon before....   advice???

furthest i've ran is 18km with a 5 imnute break in between.
i am thinking of doing the full marathon though.

Commitment is the key here 

and btw..

Hi all,

Jz back frm me KL City Run..

I clocked 58:50 inclusive of a near 2 minutes in the kandang doing nothing..
Managed to secure a medal I was number 216(if i rmbr correctly)..

There was pressure all the way frm the start as only the first 300 get medals..
I didn't want to go home without 1..

My first ever 10k (i heard it was 11km+?) and I definitely felt I could hv done better..
There were no markers hence I didn't knw when to accelerate and whether or not my pace was correct I do suppose if there were markers i would have knwn when to accelerate BUT there was also lack of training on my part as i perhaps could have powered on all the way..

I need to train more!! 
Nonethless I definitely enjoy the run and I will continue participating in the many more competitions ahead!

KL Towerthon next week! here i come!!

thanks for the tip
will try to keep up to it.

i already have trainers, but is considering to get foot insoles for better support. Think they are necessary?

are there any runners from setiawangsa, kl area???

Sometimes boring to jog alone.

Would love a challenge.

where to find cheap and good spike shoes ?

--MY REPORT--

Another event under my belt; KL Towerthon 2009

I had lotsa fun climbing up those dreaded steps..seriously nt as maddening as I thought it would be(ya rite)
As usual met all the "sifus"; ccube, phoenix, Lionel, pm1, pm55...

Now..before you attempt this "run" you must knw 1 floor is actually 4 floors AND you hv to do, i think 27?

The start of the race was an uphill run, abt a km or so..i saw many "sprinters" as the starting gun sounded BUT as soon as they reach say the 4th floor or so..they were CRAWLING..
MORAL of the story? the real competition starts when you reach the first floor AND nt when the gun is shot..

I completed the run in 21minutes and 42seconds..could i hv gone faster?
Let me say this..nxt yr i m going to clock a max of 20mins..

The above is the nice part of the day..bad part? lost my shoes..
How? i placed me shoes on the top of the car before i made my way to KL tower needless to say i forget to put it IN the car.. the rest is history...

PS. @CCUBE, lake gardens at 6pm++ during weekdays anyday? Special price?? thanks

oh no didnt get it in Qbay but rather at their distro in Komtar. got if off for RM 470 after 20% disc, Asics are known for their cushioning and stability hence their weight but its not too bad la its lighter from what i compared to the earlier Kayano series, unfortunately cant have the best of both of worlds   i barely felt pain after i finished the 5k though you might wana compare for urself though the diff between this and the earlier series

Harlo all,

Gt a pair of Progrid Hurricane 10 frm ccube
Needless to say real light and breathable..
I ESPECIALLY like the arch lock feature..but i m nt too sure if the jazz12 has more cushion or this one..
but this pair is really realli comfy..

I smashed my pb for my 2 x 5km+ lap around LG with this pair

Thanks ccube, I hope I didn't trouble you too much..
n besides would you recomend this pair again or another for me 2nd trainer?

i'm just wondering, do you bring water bottles for ur 10/20km trainings?

I bring a small bottle for my 10km run but it's a bit troublesome to hold a bottle.

anyone has use Nathan Speed 2?
ccube: any feedback?

BTW, anyone going to the Bidor run this April?

Hey,

there is a running group in penang -> http://wwwarrior.multiply.com/

We know some of the runners from this group as they've ran with us in KL a few times before.

I have just called the KL Marathon hotline number to enquire on certain issues. Apparently, some only received 1 email after registration ( You should receive 2: Confirmation Race ID Slip and Credit Card Transaction). According to them, there was a glitch on their system. But as long we received the e-mail regarding our credit card process, we are registered. And we do not need to resend them back the authorisation letter as indicated on that e-mail. They will proceed to remove that message. You can obtain your confirmation race ID slip by going to the registration site and input your IC/Passport number. Please share this with your friends. Thanks.

KL Marathon hotline: 03-78433180
