Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM) 2007

It was a good run for me. I adopted a run/walk strategy because I want to be conservative (and because I suffered quite bad back pain/strain on my lower left back on 7 Nov 07). Ran 7-8min and walk 1 min. I did that until about 23km, then because of fatigue, I changed it to 5min run/2min walk.

When cramps start to threatens, I changed to fast walk, and when I felt I can run, I'll just run 1 to 3 mins until I reached near Kallang Stadium area (36km). Then I just fast walk all the way in (6.2km/hr). I did the marathon in a net time of 5hr37min - an improvement of 35min over my 2005 marathon.
