Final Countdown to the SCKLM...

Mark Williams, the official running coach of the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2011 advises, 2 weeks to a long distance run, to:

• Remember to cut down on your training - this is called tapering.
• If you think that you are going to be on your feet for more than 2 hours on Race Day, then start Carbo-loading on Thursday, 23 June 2011 and continue for 3 days leading up to the race.
• If you have bought a new pair of running shoes, make sure you have run in them at least 2-3 times prior to the race.
• Pack your bag the night before and give yourself plenty of time to get to the race in the morning.
• Make sure to check off the health list in your runner's guidebook - if you feel unwell in any way, consider skipping the race. Your health is more important!
