Salam all,
Any somalinet marathon or half marathons runners here? I am planning to get back in the game and last time I ran half marathon was in 2006 in Nairobi and walahi almost fainted after the finish. Since than been slacking and even smoked for a little over a year from early 2007 to May 2008. Been very health conscious since than. Back on road since May and have been doing 2-3.5 miles run 4 times a week. Any good tips from fellow runners or aspiring runners? I am not much of
an althlete besides my daily twice hourly swimming and once weekly visit to the gym. Insha Allah my plan is to run at least 3 half marathons starting with Standard Chartered one in October this year. Bangkok on 22nd November 2009 race. Have yet to decide which one of these to go with on Jan 2010(Singapore, Dubai, Kaula Lumpur). If I do have additional stamina by than will finish up with Hong Kong race on late feb 2010. Thankfully my work will take me to couple of high altitute cities which hopefully will help in training. Is 6 months training enough? Any recommendations and others tips? Appreciated akhyaarta.
