...Originally posted by kops21:Yes, similiar to last year. This year end at Padang instead of Esplande under the Esplande bridge.
Last year alot of complains that the distance is short, this year distance increase abit(about 300 metres). Dont know whether it is sufficient long enough to make the 21km mark. Anyway, wait for the folks(old bird) comment after the run, we shall know...
Tell them go and die lar!
300 metres only.....

24hrs and 30 min to flag off!
dun be mistaken.. i not counting down. Just happen that I'm still awake at this time. sian.. my right knee still feel a bit pain when i run. but last week happen to hobble 10km at the Mizuno run.. so hopefully can finish the 21 this weekend.
-
better take care of ur knee. If hurts too much, walk...
have you tried medication and get a support knee guard? -
I'm back from the run...now abit tired, but still feeling ok.
Ok...from now onwards, it is going to be real training to prepare for SCSM. -
a bit tired??? i vomited twice after the run... presumably from drinking too much waterOriginally posted by kops21:I'm back from the run...now abit tired, but still feeling ok.

Or from too much gatorade.Originally posted by hmsg:a bit tired??? i vomited twice after the run... presumably from drinking too much water
Kops, thanks for reminding. got those cheap "disposable" knee guard from ValuDollar.. wah, can't imagine how i would i dragged myself thru the 21k if i hadn't got them.
For me, it's rest and recover for the next month or so. then, next up: SCSM! -
i presume SCSM refers to the stanchart std marathon?
3/4 though today's half marathon, my knees and ankles began to feel stiffness and pain liao... and its not only the kneecap, but also the tendon(or ligament) behind the kneecap at the outer edge of our legs. had to slow down cos of them. had thought be hitting below 2 hrs but couldnt.
and for that, i really cannot imagine doing 42 km, when the weather is going to be hotter, and the distance twice!
are the pains normal? btw, before today, the furthest i have run was 10km - the mizuno and new balance runs. was it cos of lack of proper preparation that i had the pains? how to alleviate them? -
drinking too much water....Originally posted by hmsg:a bit tired??? i vomited twice after the run... presumably from drinking too much water hope you are feeling well now. -
i went for the 6.9km run...

if you are doing the Full Marathon at the end of this year, i suggest you use proper knee guard...not those "disposable" knee guard. Although i am not using any knee guard now, but next week onwards, all LSD will be using knee guard.Originally posted by k4korny:Or from too much gatorade.

I suggest you get the knee guard by FUTURO(Phamacy or Watson) will have.
next month or so then start... isnt it abit too late already.... -

u dont have enough mileage or short of distance for your distance that is why ur kneecap or body hurts after the run(worst if during the run).Originally posted by wuming78:i presume SCSM refers to the stanchart std marathon?

YES, SCSM = Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon
Ur case seems to be a case of ITB(do a check on the internet for more infor). The pain you face is normal for runners without sufficient training. Since your training distance max at 10km, that is why your body cant take it during the 21km. If you have max your training at around 12-14km, you could feel the pain(strain) after the run. Simple you training distance is TOO SHORT.
For 21km, ur max training distance should be around 16km to get yourself properly cross the finishing line feeling good. For 42km, u should hit around 32km for your training to cross the line in 1 piece.
Dont stress ur injury anymore at this moment, do cross training like cycle or swimming to keep the stamina there. Take Glucosamine to relieve the pain. Get knee guard for your run to alleviate the pain does work as well. -

bro, am i rite to say that there is no need to cover 42km during training in order to finish SCSM?Originally posted by kops21:u dont have enough mileage or short of distance for your distance that is why ur kneecap or body hurts after the run(worst if during the run).

There is no hard and fast rule to run 42km during training.Originally posted by trueno86:bro, am i rite to say that there is no need to cover 42km during training in order to finish SCSM?
Different school of thoughts are different in their prespective. It is no wrong or right answer.
For majority practise, u only need to covered at least a few 30-35km during training will be sufficient to push you that extra km to complete the Marathon.
You can definitely do less than recommend(highly not advise) and still complete the marathon. The drawback is that do you want to finish the event running or walking. The after effect(injury) or recovery time will be longer or nasty if you do not have the properly mileage behind your training.
