first trial run

i've just completed my usual run at the reservoir a while ago and i used the technique which i learnt from the workshop yesterday!

crazy enough, i woke up at 6am in much anticipation to practise. see, our body learns best by repeated practice. moreover memory like mine deteriorates quite fast so i had better try it out as soon as i can.


the results? astonishing!

way before the wedding, the time taken for me to complete 12.4 km (2x pandan reservoir) was around 1:18- 1:20

then training dips like mad for the last 4 months and my timing became 1:28 (arrrgghh!)

and TODAY, with the new running technique, i effortlessly completed in 1:19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's a quite a substantial cut in timing :)

ok, i'm quite motivated to train harder so that i can shave off 5 more min in next yr's 10km race and work towards a better timing for marathon :)
