well.. the PLAN was to start training 4months b4 the actual
day..
at that time i laid of running for some time already... so i
started of with 3km.. three times a week.. and increase 1km per
week...
but then due to work, and other things cropping up.. i only ran on
and off.. i only managed to run 3times a week on 2 occasions.. the
other times, i didn't run or just ran once a week... but i managed
to average 5km per week..
the week before i ran part of east coast, for 10km...
so i had poor training 
if u plan to do it well... here's something..
start 16weeks before the competition.. try to run at least twice a
week... each time run 30-40 mins.. go for running time instead of
speed and distance... plan a distance run on weekends... start from
5km and increase every week by 1km...
before the actual thing... try to have trial a 21km route 
oh another impt thing is to practise your form.. body upright,
[b]chest up, glide
instead of bouncing on your run..[/b]
hmmmm u mean "Br**st" up muahahaha
