Sigh, don’t remind me – i haven’t been training too! I’m panicking now Some more, i’ve got the New Balance Real Run (15km) this Sunday, followed by further 10km torture next Sunday.. I’m so dead!

Oh my gosh, you couldn’t look chubs even if you tried. That said though, there is this annoying flu/cold going around that FINALLY hit me… just as I was ramping up my gym workouts too

I’m far away from able to help u since I’m facing the same prob for this weekend Perhentian Island Challenge.I’m soo dead already.You’ll do fine since you’ve done it before and you’re Miss Fit&Fab,remember?

Cass: Oh my gawd…. good luck!! that’s really brave of you…2 runs in 2 weeks!

germaine: YEah its’ been going round, a nasty one. I got it from my mum. It’s so annoying right? talk about shit timing.

azelea: hAHAHhaha not so fit&fab at the moment. Good luck with the Perhentian Island Challenge…ur… is that a run?

have a good run babe! well, just think that if you can get through the 10k last year, you can too this year!

*impossible is nothing

run every other day progressively covering distances below 10km until race day. and u will be good to go and on ur way to a good 10km run next sunday!

just a matter of conditioning. good luck!

U can do it Ms GE Run Ambassador!

patricia: Are you running tooo!

Shampoo: good advice, will do that

Azealea: respect! let me know how it goes…

Hi Angela =) My sister used to do the nationals (cross-country) before she came from to Australia.

I do know what you eat in preparation for long distance is very important. Especially now with only 2 weeks left, she did mention a month before the nationals she went on a raw food diet. She basically had raw fruit and veges. Some sounded bit gross like blended broccoli and such. ew…. But she felt very good and even more energy then usual. She broke her personal best. You don’t have to go to that extreme though – while I was training for long distance. I basically ate very healthy, not leaving out carbs but having only good carbs.

Also, people make the big mistake of over-training themselves the last week before the actual run, make sure you have plenty of rest and just light training on that last week.

It’s 3am here so my sister is asleep and I can’t help you ask for more advice, but if you like, please feel free to e-mail me and I’ll ask her for you, we also have eating plans while training for things like that!

But i’m sure you’ll do just fine! You’ll be right mate

kuromado (sorry i don’t like revealing my name on websites)!

Wish they gave medals for the 5km run too *pout*

kuromado: Heyaa… wow thanks for that advice! that’s really interesting, just this morning i was watching a short clip of the ellen degeneres show and they were talking about raw food diet. It’s a real detox as well.

I would love to see how you guys plan your meals before a race. interesting.

marie: they should give a medal for that… it’s an accomplishment, and you should be rewarded for it.

hi angela,

i just finished my 10km borneo marathon..
i havent been practising for month or so because of fasting month..
was quite worried before the run started..
anyway, what i did was i stand in front of the starting line and just jog for 5km non stop..after that i walk n run..it works for me..;-).. i clock in 1:01:16..not a good timing but still ok considering i didnt run for a month!

Haha, it’s not brave of me @ all, more like being a real fool.. Haha ;p

Good luck & try to squeeze in easy runs from now till next Sunday. Remember to eat proper ‘fuel food’ before your race to prep for it too Hope to see you during the GE run! ;p

juju: tht’s a good timing! what you talking abotu!! AHahhah i pushed hard last year and i was 1hr 15 or something.

cass: thanks for the advice!
