Ready for RU3!

6 days to go before the third leg of Run United 2012! I'll be running the Afroman distance (32k).

Last September 9 (Sunday), I did my longest run on a treadmill this year - I covered 25 kilometers in 2 hours, 29 minutes and 37 seconds! With this, runner with bib# 890 is ready!

Crazy treadmill training - burned 1844 calories in the process

To the 2800 32k registered runners, good luck to us all! Hope this Sunday brings good weather and an injury-free run to everyone.

Oh and by the way, after the race, I'll be heading to my sister's wedding. I just couldn't miss running in RU3 that I had to get this in on my hectic weekend schedule.

Full Marathon Training Plan - 6 Weeks Done!

I'm currently following a 16-week training plan for my upcoming HongKong Marathon on Feb 2012. The training plan is for a sub-4 marathon, which I'm not really targeting. I'll faint if I even finish in sub-4:30. Haha! However, I just like to follow a training program, to the best of my ability, given a number of factors which would make me miss some training days - work, illness, or just simple laziness.

I track my progress in a simple MS Excel worksheet. So far I've logged an approximate 225km in 6 weeks, versus the 290km recommended by the program. Sigh. That's just 77.6% of the needed mileage.

The next 10 weeks will only get tougher.
