[Running Clinic] My first train-up for Mizuno Ekiden Singapore 2016

Image
The second instalment of the Mizuno Ekiden will take place on 16th of July, 2016 at The Promontory @ Marina Bay! This year, the race is making its first full-fledged Ekiden race in Singapore, at 4pm in the evening.   Ekiden is a term referring to a long distance relay running race in Japanese culture. There are two running categories (half marathon - 21.1km ; full marathon - 42.195km) for  Mizuno Ekiden Singapore 2016 .

I will be the second runner for my team in this relay run.   To help us in preparation in our forthcoming run, Mizuno organised a series of running clinics for the runners.

We did the cool down exercise under hi...

We were given a short briefing before the training commenced. The Singapore Sport Hub boosts a very nice view and ambience that perks up my sleepy Saturday morning. We started off with a slow jog as mentioned earlier during the briefing, and there were many pit-stops along the run training, where we had to do physical exercise training like Jumping Jacks, running on the spot, Sprints, etc. It was pretty tiring to do these physical trainings together with our run training.
