Recovery Recovery Recovery

At first I was reluctant on these supplements, but after a year of training it seems I needed these, especially glucosamine tablets to help repair my joints and reduces pain. 

Muscle repair is important and we must well take care of them to avoid future injuries. 

BSN NIGHT MARATHON 2013

It was a tough race. Due to the rain the endless climbs but we made it as a team.

Must give my gratitude to these running folks. We started together and finished together and most importantly trained together. Looking forward to next years full marathon.

Our PBs were Nik (1:46) Lokman (1:45) Me (1:47) . And like usual, we didn't get the results we wanted but it's ok. There are more races to come. Most importantly we all enjoyed our runs. No.39. Out of 1795 ain't that bad right??

Nike Pegasus 29

My first Nike Pegasus 29.  Comfy for a half and full marathon. Must say it has the most comfy cushioning from most shoes I've tried ( ASICS gel lyte 33, NB RevV2, Nike Free 3).

The first time you try this shoe it's abit heavy and lose. You need at least a week before the shoe starts settling in with your feet. It's heavy at first but once you get used to it the shoe is just right for your feet.

Larian Sultan Mahmud Shah and SCKLM

A Back to Back Marathon in 2 different states Havnt done such thing before not even in KL itself. Well i was just aiming for a comfy pace and not to pressure to much cuz I had to cover 32km in 2days right.

At Sultan Mahmud Bridge Marathon. The environment was welcoming, mostly athletes from gov forces or the normal public. Luckily the weather was cool and not so windy as we went along Batu Burok bridge you could see the beautiful ocean and it's sands, we passed through the small towns and a small hilly climb in between, the first 10km you would go on the Sultan Mahmud Bridge and make a turn back to Batu Burok...

Of all times my knee had to make problems for me. It was stuck at 11km. So I tried to stretch then of abit and continued this for 200 meters or so. Luckily I got back to my comfortable pace in no time.

It was a good run, and my PB was 1:41hrs.

Standard Chartered KL Marathon

Just after the Sultan Mahmud Marathon in Terengganu I took a night flight back to KL.

With delays cuz of the bad weather I had to be stuck in the airport for another hour.

When I arrived in KL it was 12:30am, took a quick rice n chicken dinner before heading to sleep. 

Managed to only get 2hrs of total sleep. Then off I went...

Luckily it was a 10km cruise. So not much pressure there. But there were also fast pacers too... The 1st leading was around 40mins not mistaken. I came in 8th place with 47mins. The most sleepy race I ever went haha... Well I could do better but my body was telling me to get some rest.

It was a good run, looking forward to do my half for KL marathon in 2014! 

National Kidney Run iCity Shah Alam 10km

This was so far my best race, I didn't expect to get my pace at 40min for 10km, 

Finished in 4th... Not bad. Stay motivated! 

Seremban Half Marathon

This race was in July.  After a serious hamstring injury. I couldn't do any sprints. A few trips to the physio and icing for a month. The pain was horrible. And I could only do easy jogs at a pace of 7 max.

Luckily the recovery was in a month...

Right before the Seremban half I had to step on a Bee which left my left foot swollen and had bee allergies which attacked my whole body. Yeah what a thing to happen right before the night of the race. Well.... I was contemplating on the day before the race ( which was a Saturday night) wether I should just run or take a rest, Cuz my foot was swollen I couldn't event fit into my shoe. 

Yup. Like every addicted runner, we just did it. 

I arrived at the Seremban town 2hours before start ( 6:30am) . I did a lot of stretching easy strides for at least an hour...

I managed to finish the race at 1:51hrs. While dragging my left foot. Haha. It was a miracle that after the race that my foot healed. Yeah so running cures everything.

So u know now what to do if u feel sick or unmotivated, Take a RUN!

Mizuno Wave 16Km Putrajaya

This was my 2nd Marathon in June 2013. And it was a real race this time. You could see those who are fit and have absolute determination in their eyes. From athletes to Average daily pacers, you could see them all. Everyone determind to get their best PB.

It was tough with the humidity from the roads, the pounding soles onto the tar and the 6 dreadful climbs of the Putrajaya bridge (3 go and 3returns) 

My pace was at 1:18 this time. I think my position was only 51 at that time.

First Marathon

My First Marathon was in March 2013. A Kidney Foundation Fun Run. It was only 7km. Excited like every other race. My PB was at 37mins +/- . I guess it wasn't bad for a first timer. But the adrenaline was pumping during the start till the finish.

First time for everything

A brief introduction of myself.
An average pacer, who loves to run daily, breathes, sleep, eat  for the passion for running.
It took sometime to get to a comfortable pace. But when the ball starts rolling you will feel the joy of it.
