Flexifitness wishes all participants of Singapore Standard Chartered Marathon 2011 all the best! Even for 10km and half -marathon

 

I  believe that many marathoners will be facing the glycogen depletion at the 32km mark. At that point, one has to muster up the courage to face the last 10km where predominantly the energy system is mainly from fats. Once this happens, the runners will naturally run much slower as compared to 32 and less. Here is where the mind will play with one by asking why they took part in the marathon. They may tell themselves that they could have been enjoying drinking coffee somewhere watching the marathon, instead of running. After the run, one would be happy to have experienced the ordeal and finally finish the race. The usual thought of completing is, "If I can do this, I can do anything". This makes one a real winner and have a sense of accomplishment and they may enjoy telling people that they have completed the marathon.   

Tomorrow, the marathon race will start at Orchard Road and finish at Padang, near Connaught Drive. They will also run to East Coast and go through the Marina Barrage area and then go to the ECP and then run to the Esplanade.

Picture 2 - Ashley Liew will be remembering his mother more than his personal best. I hope that when we run, we dedicate a run to someone special and it should be selfless, it makes the run a worthwhile one.
