    How to run a race. 

    1. Preparation.

    Whether it’s a 5K, 10K or 21K run, it is always good to plan ahead. If you haven’t been running for a long time, don’t worry about whether you can complete the run. Instead, think about how fast you want to complete it. If anything fails on that day, you can always walk through it (Noooooo) and there will be many people to accompany you for that.

    Your training regime should fit the distance of the run. For example, If you’re running a 10K on raceday, always try to clock in 10K every training, no matter how slow you do it. This allows your body to get used to the distance.. Try it 2-3 times a week. Start with a comfortable speed, and increase the intensity of the run by a little every training. Most athletes make running look so easy because they have a more efficient body. Compared to the average person, their lungs take in more oxygen with each breathe and use less effort in every step. All this is achieved by constant training.

    2. Nutrition.

    For your body to recover it’s muscles fully, have your final run 3 days before race day. Also, you need sufficient sleep starting from the 3 nights before. In fact, the quantity/quality of sleep during the last 2 nights have more impact on your body than the night before raceday itself. The night before, have a few more cups of water than usual to prevent cramps during or after the run. Usually, cramps are caused by dehydration or a lack of sodium in the blood. Some also use their imagination to run the race and see themselves crossing the finishing line in their minds before they sleep. This gives them a headstart on what the race is going to feel like and what to expect. You can give it a try if you’re into it. Here is what i usually do :

    3 days left : Final running session. Get lots of sleep.

    2 days left : Do lots of stretching. Get lots of sleep.

    1 day left : Eat more rice and some fruits for carbohydrates. Extra few cups of water in the night while adding a little 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Get lots of sleep.

    3. Raceday.

    Wake up early so that you can reach there early for you to warm-up. Never(ever) start your run from the back of the crowd. Always try to get yourself in the middle/front part of the pack. Lesson from the human race last weekend : Most of the people at the back are joggers, by running behind them, they will be blocking your path when the road gets narrow. It’s embarrassing when you have to squeeze to run past them. Also, halfway through, you will want to stop. You can jog as slow as you want, but never stop to walk because its very discouraging and makes it really difficult to pick up the pace again. After all, its all the tough shit which pushes us forward that makes life interesting. Most importantly, just keep a cool head and enjoy the run !

    “We do all these things for the same reason.”

    “To feel alive.”

    Top 5 things i liked during my childhood 

    1. Animated Series’ on TV.

    During my childhood years, i guess in lower primary, i remembered switching on the TV at 4-5pm without fail everyday, and wait for my favorite shows to start. The favorite shows were always the animated cartoons (X-men, Batman, Ironman, Magic Schoolbus). And not to forget the legendary Sesame Street. I would lie down on my chair and glue my eyes to the TV. Those were one of the more vivid memories of my younger days. [Top 10 cartoons of the 90's]

    2. The Boy Toys.

    Boys love toys. We also get bigger, more expensive ones as we grow older. I got those $2 plastic toy bike from my mum when i graduated from Kindergarten. Until today, i still remember that moment very clearly. Oh, You boys remember that Tamiya toy car craze back then? LOL. Too bad I think i threw them away. Then as we get older, we get bigger stuff. Nowadays we love to ogle at Cars, thousand dollar bikes and playing Ps3’s.

    3. Soccer session during recess time.

    “It is now 9.59am. All the boys in the class stare eagerly at the clock. **Recess bell rings!** All the boys start rushing to the field to have 30mins of fun under the Sun.” Guys should remember that even on those days without a soccer ball, we can still play using a bottle. Anything that is small and movable could be used as a ball. Those were the days where the morning breakfast didn’t matter and the daily soccer was all we cared about.

    4. Wonderful time spent with my pals.

    I changed many friends throughout childhood. I made a few friends in P3 but then i got moved to the upfront classes in P4 so i have no contact with them since then. Before graduation, I used to play LAN games with my old friends and lots of basketball and soccer. When i graduated i moved on and rarely played them again, except soccer which is dead essential. The only friends from primary school that i still hang out and really talk to are the ones in graduating year.

    5. Playing ‘catching’. LOL

    Everybody has surely played this game before. Oh, its only fantastic if you play with the cute girls in class, sometimes u just bump into each other and then the girl says “Bad Allon!”. Playing with guys is just plain boring. And basically i wrote No.5 because i can’t think of anything else to write.

    So what are the favorite things you loved in your childhood ? Do you have one or two common things with me, or is it radically different ?
