UPR Run on 2-June-09

Last weekend was the Sundown marathon event. The prior week was the PAssion Run. Some of the participants will likely be resting for a few days to a week.

Today 7 people turned up for the weekly UPR run. HT met up with the group at the carpark.
The mighty 7 were Wil, Ben, TL Yen, George, Francis, PH Tan & myself. The weather was nice and the team have a great run today.

I was pacing behind Ben and Wil. Three of them did the 7km run and at moderate speed. During the first half of the run, my heart rate was consistently at 150bpm or below, a very comfortable zone At the heart rate and speed I believe we can complete a 42km full marathon. The average speed was between 9kmph to 10kmph.

Assuming at 9kmph the entire 42km will take 4:40 hrs which will not too bad for a 1st timer for full marathon. Looking forward to the Dec Standard Chartered Marathon event.
