The Brunei National Day Run was done in all Districts of Brunei-muara, Tutong, Belait and Temburong. I did the one in Tutong.
There was a 3km fun run, 5km run for under 18, 10km for 18 years and above.
I did the 10km run. My training followed guideline from the book entitled 4 hour body. which is basically a high intensity run of 2.4km, for 3-4 times a week. Added with the POSE technique. I did well for about 5km… then I had to run (i actually walked) up a freaking hill (DAMN that Hill to HAYELL!!!). I’m targetting my peak state in 2007 when I could run 10km/hour, or 6minutes/km.. Sounds fast to some, but pros do it almost half the time or twice that speed. I’ll get there once i reach my peak state first.
Considering the Hill was my weakness, I’m tempted to train running up that hill.. or any other hill for that matter..
Here’s my endomondo map with my lap times
There are more pics on my facebook
I compiled a video that I took and upload it on youtube.
It’s nice to read that someone else from Brunei has picked up the 4HB. Have you tried Occam’s protocal yet? I’m still trying to get my head around it.
I’m more focused on practicing the slow carb diet and the endurance, run. I already picked up the total immersion swimming before i read the book. I’m more into lowering my body weight, improving my running (possibly doing a triathlon soon), and maybe, just maybe strength training, I’m not into building muscles (which is what occam’s protocol is about). Good luck to you though 🙂
