Anyone doing the Stanchart marathon?

[leeruisheng]

Hi there,

I'm just curious about the many of AQ members who's doing the run. Well I'm doing the 1/2 marathon.

[Shadow]

I can't even last for 5km

[vaynard]

Wilson, next year can try for the full already. but must really train hard. Not to underestimate the fury of the full. Good luck with the run!

I can't even do the usual 2.4 km! Marathons are a distant reality for me.

Cheers,

Good luck. This is your no. what full?

Yup this is my 3rd 1/2 marathon. Hopefully can upgrade to full next year. So many events I wanna join but time is a factor. Also thought of giving the Subraru challenge a go but clashes with school.

[valice]

Can upgrade already lar.
Me and my friends were crazy enough to cheong for the marathon right after we do the army half marathon the year before. Nearly dieded.

How was your timing at the Army Half? It will be a good gauge to see if you can do the full marathon next year comfortably.

[vaynard]

haha... i mean full marathon.

[valice]

Good luck vaynard! And have a good run...

[leeruisheng]

haha... i mean full marathon.

ya i meant how many full marathons have you accomplished?

I'm just a recreational runner. It took me about 2 hrs for the 1/2 mararthon. Also didn't really train, cause exams was till end of November. Run was on Dec 2nd. Hope this time round can achieve sub 2 hours.

Better be quick cause spaces running out soon. Last hear from them that they are squeezing in another 2000 slots.

Marathon usually seperate the thin and tall men and the short and stocky.

[vaynard]

this will be my first marathon. completed 2 half marathons since last yr. Hopefully can get a good timing.

[leeruisheng]

Rest well and psyche yourself up. 23hrs 2mins away. All the best to those who are doing the run this Sunday.

respect to those who completes the full marathon running or walking.

marathon is not difficult to do if you have been running fairly long distances consistently. I say this in encouragement to those who are still doing their halves or have doubts they cannot make it.

I am myself not atheletically built, and have an internal distant limit of around 20km (i.e. I can run at a good pace for 20km upon which all steam were lost

however when I was in university, running being the cheapest sporting activity, I did an alternate day routine of 16km. That is I run 16km on monday, wednesday and fridays. If you keep this level of running consistently, you can go for full marathon without any further preparation, other than self knowledge of your body and limitations. In my case it means a full run for 20km or so, and then managing the remaining distant in a combination of slow run and brisk walks.

So in this way I managed 3 marathons when I was in NUS. If you are in that vicinity, a route taking you from the university across west coast park and one round Pandan reservoir would be very good, in that it does not allow you to give up along the way hahaha.

So you young chappies, go for it, half is meaningless, GO FOR FULL!!!

[leeruisheng]

Just wondering are you from the NUS aquathlon club?

[hwchoy]

erm I was in NUS 83-86
