Standard Chartered Marathon 2013 - Hoping to do a sub-3hr 

Picture 1 - Hoping to do a sub-3hr with Moses Ng, 47, and at the same time not getting any form of injury.


On 1st Dec 2013, I did my 3km time trial. I reached the 1km mark at 3min 37sec. At the 2km mark, I did a 7min 20sec and reached the 2.4km mark at 8min 58sec. At that point, I was feeling very tired and exhausted and realised that I was actually wearing a training shoe instead of a racing flat or my workout shoe. 

I was running the last kilometre in 4min 06sec. Nevertheless, I felt very happy with this 11min 26sec as I realised that in 2008, 2 months before Stanchart, I did an 11min 36sec when Daniel Ling and Dr Benedict Tan did a 3km time trial with me in the past. 

Hence, I hope that this is an encouragement for me to go for a sub-3hr as this is showing some form of conditioning that I am getting from the training that I am doing.
