last SG · 2004-11-23T15:25:04+00:00

Good Timing, hope i can do the same when i do my Full Marathon.....I enjoy my First Half Marathon today, will do it again definitely...maybe next Standard Ch...

kops21 SG

U going for the Marathon as well?

kops21 SG

Shocked Shocked U sure u can finish 1/2 M this time round? Unless u good that taking pain....

All Marathon kaki i know runs 10km per day...weekly longest run about 30km..as for 1/2 M we should be doing 16km on the longest run per week...

Fuqua SG

i'm sori but cant help laughing at the tot of u psychoed by being overtaken by uncles and gers .... train harder hehe !! Mr. Green but good to hear u know when to listen to ur body and when not to overtrain.

What do u think the weather will be like on the 5th?

Fuqua SG

I didn't participate last year. How was the medical aid at the finish line? Did the organiser provide ice-pack, food, massage, etc ?

sillyme SG

can. last year only ran one 10km during prep Razz

i think you guys sure finish earlier Smile

sillyme SG

there'll be massages. but there'll be long qeues for it. so i didn't go for it. plus, i didn't like the idea of being massaged while i'm sweaty Razz

they also had bananas, drinks at the end point. actually it's quite well organised Smile

but the only thing about last year is that the finish point was at east coast. we had to take a charter bus to padang.

kops21 SG

Shocked U train for 10km and chio for 1/2 M.....veri garang leh...

kops21 SG

Just call ur BUDDY and give you massage lah....personalised some more and dont need to queue up.. Rolling Eyes

kops21 SG

U don't laugh at me....later u overtaken by 70 years old uncle, then see who laugh.... Laughing

I have taken part in a few public runs this year, have been very impressed with some elder folks and ladies....my hats off to them..... Cool

I run pretty slow Sad I have been overtaken by all my males colleagues so far when we go for public runs...even those in the late 40's over taken me... Embarassed My last run(Mizuno), my male colleague (47yrs) finish 50 mins, his female friend finish at 45 mins... damn pai sei Lucky kops21 face very thick... Rolling Eyes

I think it is going to be a cool weather on 5th Dec...but with little shower...don't know why, almost nowadays when i run at Esplande that area always got little drizzling.... Confused Blessing in disguise?

no_speeding SG

YAyay, going to do the full one time and swear off running for the rest of my life...
hahahah....

Judging from training runs, i think should come in around 4hr30mins..
Provided theres no stiches
Then again, if i can cont running for the entire journey, anything is possible...

U guys have any idea how to overcome stitches? I tried deep breathing, slow walk...in fact, all the other recommended stuffs www.runnersrescue.com but it didnt really work. The stitch only went away after i wasted 30 minutes alternating between jogging and walk...

Shacks...
By then, all the momentum already lost...
sigh...

Shocked

no_speeding SG

Overexertion?
Typically, i do 1 long run follow by 1 short run or complete rest the next day...
Must see the feeling. No point forcing if the body is protesting..
hahahah....

HAhaha.... i also have been overtaken by countless uncles, young boys and girls during my runs... but if u think about it... 20minutes down the road.. u will pass them and then, never see them for the rest of ur run..

Shocked

no_speeding SG

Siong liao lor..
hahaha...
My longest run to date is 26k and im going for 42.. got to make up for the extra 16k...

Judging from how i felt at 26...i think i will crawl home...
hahahahahahahha......

Shocked

kops21 SG

At the pace of 4:30 and longer distance of 26km, u should be a fast and season runner. Marathon kaki that i know are doing 30km week in week out, but then some of them are tri/ironman athletic, which should come in between 3:30-4hrs for Full M.

Ur crawling will be our running pace judging at ur timing. Embarassed

kops21 SG

Dunno whether it is exertion or not? Confused I do some sort of exercise almost daily. After a long run, next day i just go for another set of exercise and don't overuse the muscles...always listen to the body... Razz Don't want to die a hero for nothing...

I understand the meaning about 20mins down the road, u start to overtake those folks in front... This time round, i overtook some, but the feel was that too many overtaken kops21 as well... Evil or Very Mad

Anyway, looks forward to 5th Dec... Cool

MeOwSuSan SG

All the best Kops21 !!!!! on 5th Dec…

sillyme SG

Razz
that kind of training with 2hr 27min... quite good already.. don't you think? Razz

Fuqua SG

Kops buddy, you MUST stop singing when u run at esplanade, then it will stop raining ok. Hehe.

I'm not into speed much, but endurance. I WILL cross that finish line even if it takes me the whole day. I just hope my buddy can wait that long for me Mr. Green

I worry about the weather though. So far, all my trainings been done in the morning or at nite, and few time under the hot sun. Wonder how to cope if it rain. Any tips? clothes?

Also I meant to ask the organiser HOW they will transport our belongings later during the run. I want to bring a few stuffs (extra cloth, food, etc) in my backpack on the day. You have any info on this?

kops21 SG

Yup...the timing looks awesome with the kind of training you are having.... Mr. Green

kops21 SG

Bro, i won't u don't hit the WALL...or else u will not finish the race..even by walking the rest of the way...

WET already when running, no need to worry about the few drops of rain...Anyway, i wear lightweight(cooling running clothes) with a cap. Rain or Shine no problem. Dun wear undies Embarassed and with a few waterproof handipastes on certain parts of the body(for blister and abrasion protection). A small pouch for HP/$/Keys for the run.

The starting pt and ending pt are almost at the same location. I am inform there are lockers available for the day. U can check with the organiser when u go and collect ur number tabs later. I will leave the rest of my stuff in the car and run with a small pouch tie around the waist.

Fuqua SG

The WALL!!! Pain is good ... but too much pain Confused hopefully if i keep myself hydrated, and eat well, it won't hit me too bad. All i can do. I hate to crawl the last 10km of the race ...

i'm gonna wear my nike short, adidas vest, no underpants, pouch for carrying hp, energy bar and sports gel.

But I don't undertand the handipaste thingy. Is that necessary? I never had any problem with blisters/abrasion before on my long runs.
