Skecher Friendship Run

 A run which i never join before...

Really looking forward to this whilst its a moment of joy me & 10 going through Setia alam pasar malam...

Been so long that we didnt go through this infamous pasar malam...

That we had bought so many things there...

The race morning can see few elites came over...

Among is Sanjay & few women fast runners...

Didnt think too much just push myself to complete this race...

The front youngsters were fast too...

Glad that i got the 3rd placing while 10 has her tough fight against 3 other fast women runners...

Too bad she got 4th...

Gone through some exiting games booths...

We have nice chit chat with Eric & Saddam bro...

Till then, this is another nice event that one should look into in future too..

Songkhla Marathon 2025

My first FM of the year, which also my fourth FM through out my running journey...

Its such a big event that we know that the organiser offer huge trophy for those finish within podium...

Just like Hatyai marathon, we travel by driving ourself up to the Songkhla town...

Can see many Malaysian joining this event as well...

Have set my target this time to run at least Sub 3 or better for this run...

Right after start of few kms, i have started to follow geng of Thai runners...

Their pace is very consistent which i knew they are targeting for sub 3 as well...

Its just smooth sailing along the first half...

where 2nd half tough part has started where we U-turn back on the Tinsulanonda Bridge which having strong wind against us...

We have no choice but to run in 1 line where i started to lead in most of the time through the bridge...

thereafter i stay back to continue with them...

30k sign mark i was still well within time target in average pace of 4:08 some where...

but thing has started to change at 35k onward...

where my leg just started to hardened for the muscle part...

which make me hard to maintain the current pace...

its just so suffering for the last 5km...

And i still managed to complete within sub 3, just mere 10s before...

10 just so lucky that she got her 1st placing in her age group & overall top 10 placing as well!

Overall its such a well organised event, that we will make it as part of yearly must join event in future...

Hatyai Marathon 2025

Yearly must join event from Bm leopard & Kakithon team...

This time around, me, 10,wong & Ethan together join... 

We drive up to the Hatyai town from Penang as usual... 

I'm joining half marathon as usual together with Wong same age category... 

Was actually aiming for sub 1:21 time... 

But my early strike has made me paid the price... 

Last few km was hitting my limit... 

And i tried my best to endure as much i can.. 

Finished in 1hr21min26s in overall 4th.surprisingly my rank 3rd in my age group... 

10 as usual finished 1st in her category & overall... 

Same goes to Ethan getting champ in his age group whilst wong in 5th for the age group... 

Overall its well organised event that all shall join... 

Miri Marathon 2025

 First time in Miri town...

Love the area where hotel & race venue is so close to each other...

Airport also not far away from town...

Bib collection kinda long queue in Pullman hotel...

But the speed is manageable by the organiser...

Quite some booths surround the bib collection area...

We went to the waterfront for same seaview photo session...

Taking some vegeterian food with William...

My hm start at 2am...

Can see 2 familiar elite faces from KL...

Quite hard to beat them...

My target this time around is to beat my previous PB time in PBIM...

From the starting,i just speed up as usual with my almost 10k pace...

Not really able to see those few fast guys at front...

Trying to catch the 4th guy from 3km on ward...

Quite fast his pace & keep maintaining...

Close up with him @12km...

Thereafter i just overtake him & never turn back...

Keep maintaining my target 3:45 pace...

But due to uncertain last few km...

My pace was dropping...

Till last km,saw that signboard turn right which is going back town...

From there i speed up further to the finishing line...

Managed with my 1:21 time this round...

4th placing in men open...

A bit dissapoint not able to go up podium stage...

But its a consolation for me in this PB time...

Will try my best for next race...

Nothing is impossible...

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2024

Have been joining this event since secondary school...

Its a yearly event that one should not missed out...

Whilst this year i didnt put much target for my half marathon race...

Training still continue after Kuching Marathon...

I knew that with my current performance,theres chance to beating my PB time...

This time race venue has changed to 2md bridge & start near Ikea Batu Kawan here...

Its actually much better compare previous edition which held in Queensbay mall...

Race started...

I just execute my typical strategic by following those front pack...

To the half way of bridge,i have managed to close up the fast elite runner...

Taken the chance to overtake them...

For the 2nd half,i've just pull further from them...

Can feel the prowess of both leg...

Completing this gruelling 21.1k in 1hour21min28secs...

What a PB race for me! Really happy for that...

Checked on the result,i was placed 9th for national category...

A consolation for my PB...

Really happy for 10 managed to improve 1 more rung by getting 2nd in Women National category!

In fact its a PB for her Half as well...

Overall this is a great race with all the planned ammenities...

Plus point will be organisers foc high reso photo ;-)

Kuching Marathon 2025

 My target FM race of the year...

I've been trained for this race almost 2.5months...

Together with 10 of her maiden FM,we both travel together there to achieve our dream...

I know that to achieve sub3 for FM is not an easy task...

By utilizing 80-20 run slow to race fast theory...

I know it will help me out...

My previous 2 edition of FM were time @3:10 for terengganu which was few years back...

And Kuching FM last year which i done 3:03 just merely missed out couple of mins in last few km...

This time around i knew i have a chance to hit the goal...

I just maitain my pace...

There come a local group of 3 guys who are overtake me...

Their pace is at around 4:05-4:10...

I just keep following them...

Till at time, another group of almost 6runners with Kenyan women come over...

I managed to follow with this group...

Till around 26km,we started to break out...

From there i have overtaken few guys & the Kenyan women...

I've a very good feeling when reaching 30km...

I knew i can hit the goal...

But at around 35km,my leg feel lil bit stiff where i slowed down abit...

To the last 2km,i tried to chase back...

Oh...yes finally i passed the finishing line...

In time of 2:58:27sec...

Thanks god i managed to do it!!!

I got my 9th placing in Malaysia category,same as last year...

I'm really glad for 10 to her maiden FM...

Where she placed 6th in open & 4th in Malaysia category...

What a really good result for her!!!

Till here,we will come back again to chase out PB glory...
