Wonder whether anyone know of any organization or someone that does jogging or running clinic to train people on how to do the exercise properly, etc, etc. Dont mind paying some $ for good knowledge and practice sessions. :)

I thought usually for those big runs in singapore, there will be some workshop on how to adequately prepare for the run or something? I recalled these events are pretty common whenever the big runs are held in singapore.

Heard that JLR is not going to happen this year.  Many big runs seem to be cutting cost this year too.  They attracted less sponsors, not printing race information booklets and also not giving out medals.  Quite dampening for event runs this year.

Is 2XU still open for registration?  Could not find the website anymore.

 

 

This is the website: http://www.2xucompressionrun.com.sg/.

 

It was postponed due to the state funeral in March. They have closed their registration since the run has supposed to have occurred. Due to the change of date, many people has withdrew from the run, allowing the organizer to take in more runners. However, you need to email to the organizer to let them know. Hope this helps! (:

I wrote to them in expressing my interest to take part when they first announced the change in date. Requested that they can put me in waiting list if there are particpants withdrawing. They replied that they had taken note of that but since then no further email from them.

Hmm.. I guess you can send another email requesting for a response.

 

You gotta understand that a lot of ethical issues are in place. Firstly, participants who withdrew from the event are not refunded. They had the option of collecting the finisher tee and medal while surrendering their race bib (thereby rendering them unable to participate in the race). So for the organizer to now accept more runners is additional income for them at the expense of those who withdrew.

 

Yup... I think that is also why there isn't an official registration again. It just wouldn't be fair.

Why is there a need to 'announce' that you will be showering at the open shower? :unsure:

My first time run bishan park today. It is close to bishan mrt (10mins walk). Huge park...Breezy nice eco park! After a sweaty run...i proceed to Ang Mo Kio Swim Complex to shower. Weather about to rain...overall nice eco friendly park. Saw few cuties but shy to look face to face...ha..ha..gotta focus.. ;)

If only in future they provide lockers and shower facilities. Otherwise, can put ya stuff at nearby Ang Mo Kio Swim complex or bishan stadium gym/swim complex.

Next race is Father's Day Run on Sun @ Pasir Ris Park. Sat is race collection pack at velocity level 3.

Keep on mileaging! Stay hyrated! Sufficient sleep and stay happy smiley! :)

You may consider representing Singapore in future SEA Games if you can run 5km in 15 minutes.

15 minutes and 22 minutes is a whole lot of difference for 5k. Did you run consistently below 7:30 minutes for your 2.4km on non-fasting days?

While setting targets is definitely good, we need to be realistic also.

Happy Running!

Never trust my gps mobile timer tracker not accurate.
