Hi Gavin, I have the same target to complete my first full marathon under 5hrs in SCSM'10. Did not manage to get into the 50 taining slots. Can share what your plan is like?

Hey Lam, yes I'll try to share my training plan in greater detail in my upcoming posts! But be mindful that it's tailored to me so you have to follow loosely. If you looking for training programmes to join, you might like to look up some of the local running clubs (like Team Fatbird). I know some have training programmes for their members, and most, if not all clubs, are free to join.

Hi Gavin, just want to ask if you have a good way to relax between your scheduled traing? I guess you've never heard about the swedish spikemat, the acupressure mat that relieves sore and aching muscles? I use it after a hard work out or training - the mat relieves the endorphines, thanks to the 6,000 acupressure nails I lie down on. It hurts but it really works. I usually fall asleep on it. Just wanted you to know about the spikemat as everyone in Europe use it. They sell the mat in Singapore now - online www.theswedishmat.com Good luck!

Apologies to Lam. Your comments were deleted due to a technical error (incompetence on my part actually).

Gavin Gets Garang: In Gold Coast, Australia Part 6

Monday, 26th July 2010 @ 15:43:29 PM

In my previous posts on my Gold Coast adventure, I recounted how a stretch limo ride on Day 1 became my version of a Hot Tub Time Machine back to the Eighties, except it was the wrong part; the cheesy part.

Reebok Introduces New ZigTech Running And Training Shoes
Gavin Tan
Monday, 21st June 2010 @ 18:01:26 PM

Reebok has just introduced ZigTech – which the brand says is their "most technically advanced running and training shoe to date". That's a big statement, and the reason for that has to be the mighty claim that the new ZigTech technology is able to reduce wear and tear in key leg muscles, shins and hamstrings by up to 20%, thus allowing you to train harder for longer.
