A Midsummer Night's Dream

There is the second edition of the Sundown Marathon this May. All of the categories have been fully registered, with the exception of the 84km Ultra-Marathon distance. Having done the 84km at last year's inaugural Sundown, I will not be racing in this year's event. After SCSM08, there have been some requests from the i-RUN and SgRunners communities for a training program to prepare and support the runners to compete and complete the 42km and 84km distances.

Team FatBird has devised a training program to help prepare all the Sundowners going for their Midsummer Night's Dream. In addition, the program hopes to cater to those training for the new StanChart KL Marathon and the Phuket Marathon, all in June09. There will be a series of weekday & weekend runs over 12-15 weeks, coupled with some interesting night themed runs like Night Hawk Run, Blink Blink Run, Dusty Run to condition the runners for dusk running and over different terrains.

I too will leverage on this program to prepare myself for the SCKL Marathon...meanwhile, all preparations will be in place to start the Night Hawk Marathon Training in March.

When the sun does gown, let the night hawks rise.....the journey begins!
