-
run progressively longer distance for each training
-
Diet: Just maintain a normal, well-balanced diet. Carbo-load one week before the marathon.
Training: Train progressively. As a rule of thumb, increase your running distance by no more than 10% per week.
My advice is to devote 4 to 6 months for marathon training. And take part in at least one half-marathon event (e.g. AHM) before trying to go for a marathon event (e.g. Stanchart).
-
Run progressively shorter distance for each training, starting with 100km.

I am planning for the bay run of 6km for a start. But fudgster say 4 mths training. O_OBut I tink I will go try it out, 6km shouldnt be a big problem.Originally posted by skythewood:

You're planning to run the Stanchart marathon in December?

You can join the Team Fatbird training in ECP. They've a structured program for AHM and SCSM. On the race day itself, they also have pacers for the different timings.

SBR/AHM has 5 km, 10 km, and 21 km events. I take it that you're referring to the 5 km run.
Frankly speaking, if you can clear NAPFA/IPPT 2.4 km, then the 5km run should be small potatoes. Aim higher and go for the 10 km category. You have one month to prepare for it. That's more than enough time.
Just be sure that you can clear at least 21 clicks non-stop one month before a marathon. No kidding. A lot of people (myself included) came down with severe leg cramps after the halfway mark in the Sundown marathon.

Half maybe?But I'm abit apprehensive to run 21km. Hope I dont die halfway.
Perhaps will see how the 6km go and decide to do Stan Chart anot. :)

Start with 10km, move onto 21km in 6-9 months, 12 months or more after that for 42km. FM is no joke.
-
6km is not a marathon =_=
last time my when I was a triathlon year 1, we ran 5km twice, each time less than 25mins
-
Yea my fren is a regular marathon runner and he tells me it's hard, especially after the half way mark.
The only 10km I've did is the TNP Big Walk which is like 7 years ago.
Yep I did clear my 2.4km, but exercise has been on hiatus since like 3 years ago.
-
Start small first I suppose, dont wanna be the first casuality of a full marathon in Singapore.

Just a few weeks before you have the actual run, start eating more carbo-rich food, such as bananas.
6km shouldn't take you 4 months to train, if you train on a one-day-train-one-day-rest basis, 1 month should be enough. 4 months is for those who only run once or twice a week.

I am going for 10km run this Dec...
-
Good luck! Any other runs in between?
