New Plan for running




"Here is an excel template for you to use. Please key in yours and send to me. Mine for the month of July is in there. The rules for the game are simple…


1. We need to achieve minimum 80% of our weekly mileage. Let’s say if that weeks planned mileage is 50k then we need to achieve minimum 40k.

2. Whoever fails to achieve the 80% of the weekly target needs to put RM50 into a tabung.

3. Minimum weekly mileage cannot go below 30km. So if 80% of that weeks target is less than 30km, we still must achieve minimum 30km or 80% whichever is higher.

4. This will continue till PBIM. We will then use the tabung funds for makan and other things in Penang.

5. You must register for a Buckeyeoutdoor account.

6. You must use the Garmin for every run.

7. You must sync the Garmin with Buckeyeoutdoors for every run. This will help us keep track of each other.

8. Runs that are not logged with the Garmin and Buckeyeoutdoors will not count.

9. You must sync your Buckeye account with Facebook so the whole world can see your training!


Better get going man, you are already behind for this week since you have not run!"


Above is the new pointer from Dinesh in preparation for Penang Marathon. Met Dinesh for lunch in the afternoon as he drove over my office.

We were discussing on training all whatever that we have not done or done right.

So I have challenge myself to alkalize my body and at the same time he suggest a proper training plan. Sound good!! Never thought about it. At least the first month is doable lah.

So for the month of July will be : -

Over the a week will have 4 runs. Two which focus on 7-8km mileage, One on sprint at 3km and another weekend of 13-15km long run. I think that is adequate to put in two more sessions of cycling in between.

It's gonna talk whole lotsa commitment again as there is penalty and non-cheating publishing of run via the Garmin 305.. So basically I can't cheat.. anyway firmware that I can tweak the program? :p

What if sometime it eats lemon like what happen to New Balance run? hmmm

At least I am excited to see results in Centro run, Siemens run (not yet register woe), PD Tri and Century ride.

So you could follow-up my progress in Facebook via Buckeyes outdoor.

Tomorrow KLCC here I come mate..

Long time no update liao

Sorry for the lack of update peep. Internet connections at home sucks and I wonder why TMnet was so mean to my house.. First time after many many moons it was not up for somedays jor..

Here I am lepaking at the KFC to ease my mind and relax.

Have been some pressure at work lately to fix some parts of puzzle. Hope those puzzle size fits man or else I would have to sell burger to raise fund for my life and sports activities.

Due to lack of running, my thigh was stiff and walked like robocop. The heart trying to repair itself after the KL half marathon yesterday. I paid the price man.. but once in awhile it is good to know that you are very much alive.

After the run yesterday, I began to look forward for my virgin marathon in Penang. The goal is to finish it lah. A week before that is the Powerman. So u see.. if I dont put up a good plan and work at it sharply... it will be a huge mockery for me and not a nice history mileage coming December on sum of the year.

Before that, in two weeks time is Centro run.. a mini warmup race to get into constant race mood at least it create that way.

Then coming up is PD tri which I will cycle for the relay event and following week is the 160km Century ride in Ipoh.

I am going to make a call to snap a photos of my medals when I hit 100pcs lah. What a narcissist am I on this subject. Nevertheless, self-gratification is good once in a while to move us forward.

Ok ... am tired now...to be continue..

A comment to Tun M blog...

i left a comment at tun m blog at chedet.cc... and it was published and i was the first..

"Dear Dr. Mahathir,
I have high regards for you as a leader all this time. Recently I find that you need take a look at the rakyat. I am really upset that you would approve gambling license to our country that is so terribly jeopardize by ah long and unhealthy gambling. The chinese always gamble?? get that fact right, I am a chinese and also dozen others who will go against this activities that have destroy so many life!! Do you still care for the people or has capitalism reign among your heart in your circle of influence. I wonder will Marina and your wife agree with you?
I was rather shock when you support such notion.
I am sorry I do not know what channel to get to you. I love reading this blog all the time and I could agree 70% of the time of your content. Yet, recently I think you should take some reflection of yourself sir."
