In about a month from now, I shall be joining my first attempt to run 21km. I shall be attempting this feat with Ayman. Azman is also running in the 10km. All 3 of us left it quite late to register for the AmBank KL International Marathon, however we managed to get the early bird registration fee for our registrations. As for the approach, I shall take it step by step as I have not run more than 10km before this. The cut off time is 3:30 so my target is 3:29..haha.
This run is one of the major events in the running calendar since mid 80s. So I am very sure that the number of participants in the run will be high. As for the familiar faces of the Malaysian Triathlete/ Malaysian based Triathlete and the recent IronMan Langkawi 2008 finishers, runners and sports enthusiast, we shall all enjoy the run and have fun training. I am looking forward to see friends and hoping to make new friends in a month or so. Happy running people.
To all newly crowned Ironmans...recover well train smart and hope you guys get a PR for marathons. If any of you are just going to run for fun, make sure you get plenty of it.

try to do at least one 16km before KLIM. get the running endurance, and you'll be fine. Don't need to run fast, if u want, u can run for 5 minutes alternating with 1 minute walk(that's what my multi-Ironman CEO taught us).
if you are not sure of the distance of the routes where u normally run(or maybe around your neghbourhood), go to mapmyrun.com to measure the distance. site tu ala2 google map la.. good to have a measured route for your longrun. takyah pegi Hartamas route(for 20km of rolling hills, torture beb) or do 2 loops of double hill madness(11km per loop, also rolling nak mampos).
good luck. hope to see half mara survivors at the finish line :)
yea...that's what i had in mind jugak. ada jogging trail kt my place ni...one normal loop is abt 3km. a bigger one is 4km...route ada flat hills and short downhill...so far only did 10 km in 1hr...will try 4 loops of 4km in 2 hours..thanks for the tips! good luck to you too.
