This is my 2nd attempt for a FM this year. I had a better timing from my Melaka Marathon (3:33hrs )
But I don't think I prepared 100% for this one. Luckily the route was just flat. The pain was that needed pace consistency. A big event I knew I couldn't be in the the top 15 and just had to put a mind set that my goal was just my timing and not getting in the top 15. That was the hardest mental challenge.
To me FM recovery is much faster than an ultra. Just needed more strength and endurance training.
This coming year I will focus more on shorter / middle distance running to pickup my pace as for last year I already covered my mielage. Hope all goes well!
