yeah & most important don't push urself too hard for the 1st part otherwise you won't have enough energy for the remaining laps..
-
sometimes i really do wonder why i do so much physical activites when the rest of the world whines just thinking of 1 sport. it's not that i don't enjoy them.
-
just do what you feel like doing & don't have to worry so much..

i'm doing the women's 10 km - yeah it costs a bomb! $45. my friend signed up for the half and yeah it's $52. neither of us have a stanchart credit card, so nada discount. i guess on the positive side of things, i'm not starting from ground zero like my friend. this is one guy who has never run in his life and only started jogging in early july. aims to do a 10km this month and "hopefully" finish the stanchart half-marathon. -

the organizers surely blame it on the cost increase..

You have four full months to prepare.
Since you're not starting from ground zero, then that's a good thing. Slowly start from, say, 2.4km and slowly ramp up the distance week by week until you can clear 10km easily.
Since this is your first time running 10km, just aim to finish the race in one piece. Give yourself a reasonable goal - say, finish the race in 1hr 45min.
Try going to websites like runnersworld.com. They should have week-by-week training guides for all sorts of distance races.

nope, i did it in 2005 and back then i was doing 10km runs 3-4 times a week. reduce my runs (significantly i might add) last year coz i couldn't feel the ground and was tripping even while walking. but since that problem has been cleared, doing about 1-2 runs a week. the cross trainer and weight training was never outta the pic.so have you signed up yet?

To be fair to Stanchart, the SAF has el cheapo labour (i.e. NSFs).
Want to set up the tentages and signages? Just mobilize a couple of battalions.
Need medical support? Get a few units to send their BCS teams with all their equipment.
Overtime pay? Not a chance in hell. Just some off in lieu (which can be written off... grr....)
Still, I balk at paying more than double of what I had to pay for the AHM.

or you could just run the route with everyone on that day, unless you want a medal/cert etc. though this could be dangerous coz zero insurance etc. i ran part of the way of the 10km run one year - east coast part track. -
