PBIM Running Clinic
The third session of Penang Bridge International Marathon running clinic was held in Kuala Lumpur. At Taman Bukit Jalil to be exact, on Sunday Sep 22nd.
I signed Zaini and myself up for the running clinic as we will head to Penang for me to run in the Penang International Marathon for the second time this year. I did a half-marathon last year, running through an injury. I sure hope that I'll be injury free and run without much drama this year!

Believe in oneself. Don't doubt yourself. Don't let others put you down. Who cares whether we are fat, thin, fast, slow, young or old. The main thing is we DO IT!
Last year was rather special. It as the first time I bumped into Millie. Plus bumped into Nannoor too, while we were running on the bridge. ^^

Couldn't agree more with this.
The session was designed and handled by experienced runners Karen, Lorna, Jeff and Richard.

The clinic covered :
1) Topics on dynamic stretches, static stretches, their importance and how to apply it.
2) Pacing. There will also be running exercises for an hour (each group at a different pace).
3) Hill Repeats/Intervals.

We first did a few loops around the park. Ironman Richard led the 5min pace group. Jeff led the 6min pace group and Karen led the 7min pace group.
After an hour, then it's time to do speedwork & hill repeats. FUN! hahaha
I chickened out and did half of the repeats. *malu*
But as my heels is still hurting, I wasn't keen on pushing more than I should. Especially not when a big race (SCKLM) is coming next week! I haven't been training as much as I'd like to, so I just plan to jog all the 21km to finish. Plus finish before my son finish (hopefully before he starts) his 2.5km Kids' Dash.
The next running clinic session will be in Ipoh on Oct 5th. It will be back in Taman Bukit Jalil on Oct 13th. Put it in your schedule. It's a good clinic and not to be missed!
See you in Penang come Nov 17th!
I'll be the jogathoner aiming to finish in 6 hours. ^^

I like this Mak Glam's motto:
ReplyDelete"Believe in oneself. Don't doubt yourself. Don't let others put you down. Who cares whether we are fat, thin, fast, slow, young or old. The main thing is we DO IT! "
I always tell others this phrase.
Yours friends are lucky to have you motivate them
Delete:-)
Shame on me I never ran across the Penang Bridge all my life. Actually I am always scared of huge races where parking will become a mess. Luckily this Stan Chart is so well planned to suggest taking trains.
ReplyDeleteLast year no train but they provided shuttle buses.
DeleteSame goes to Penang Bridge Marathon, Anay. There are free shuttle buses for runners. Both to go & return. A lot and in frequent intervals too, so no worries. :-)

Deleteheels still hurting, haiyoh, must eat more chicken feet so that they help to strengthen your legs dei.. and true, while you are still having injury, do not push yourself beyond your limit.. you still want to enjoy running and do not want to miss all the great events right?? we all go moderate in life~~ :)

DeleteYou seems like enjoying yourself in running!
ReplyDeleteGood good~
Of course I enjoy it. Life is hard enough so in our own time, might as well do what we like & not what we don't. ;-)
DeleteI agree with you so much on this. I always find ways to be happy and do whatever that I can before I become too old and sickly to walk! Keep running and be happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteKeep doing what you love to Anay! :)
