When I Started Running

I grew up seeing my father jogging as his morning routine. My father pushed us to take up sports, and when my brothers and I took up Karate years back, jogging was always part of the training regimen.

I started training in earnest in 2009. Races then were few and far between – maybe once every 2 months. I focused on 10K races primarily because I felt it was the best balance of speed and endurance. I started with times of 1:15 and worked my way down to my current PR of 51:30 which I achieved just this year at the 2012 SCB HK Race. Running a sub-50 minute 10K race is still a goal I chase. 

I am passionate about running. I have several running goals I still want to achieve. On the flipside, I am willing to share the little I know with newbies to take it to the next level.

Run Long. Run Strong!

Training Log:

Friday Program: 4x2K 

Actual: 2.5 x 2K, I pooped out on the 3rd interval. Although I punctuated the run with a 1:28 400 meter run.
