The organizing committee reassures that the national vertical marathon 2008 will be a completely different and unique event to that of the 2007 event organised similarly at republic plaza in last year’s vertical marathon.

Maju IPPT on the 2nd day of 2008

Cleared my 2007 IPPT window period today. Glad I didn't get that pass with incentive like what I've got my previous year. Not that I've actually taken IPPT at other camps or even the Safra gyms, but I come to appreciate the route at Maju as well. I always like doing my IPPT in there, the running route there...

Inaugural Lion City Marathon 2008

Here we have it, the 2nd official international marathon in Singapore for the 2008 season. Part of the Uniquely Singapore experience starting from the city to the west north up to Mandai.

Rain and cooling runs

Well the rain had been continuously pouring down these days, the weather is great but dampened are always my planned runs in the evening, which always so coincidentally pours around my usual 5-6pm running periods. The mornings though are much drier and pretty much cooler as well, only that I have have to be in school at that time...

The days after the marathon

Was around the esplanade area yesterday, I never thought that I would myself back at the hot spot so soon as I was very much recovered and walking around normally. The area was left very much in the shadow of the big event the day before, with barricades still lined all round the roads, alone excavator doing roadworks in...

Swissotel Vertical Marathon Post Race Report

Swissotel Vertical Marathon Post Race Report The annual Swissotel Vertical marathon was held this morning and the race was great and well organised just like every year.

Runner’s Trots (loose stools or diarrhea after a long run)

With alot more people being ore active these days and considering that most Asians, particularly Singaporeans have a high percentage of people with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), this bowel related problem might be of particular interest.

The New Balance real run 2007 had just ended and this puts one more race this year being held in the East (and so to the dismay of my people living in the west but to the joy for those in the east).
