Marathon postponed

The Bangalore Marathon has been postponed from May 14 to September, 2006.

This is so disappointing.

I had not participated in last year’s marathon because I wasn’t fit for it, but I had made up my mind to participate this year. So, I’ve been training with a couple of friends. Our plan was to prepare for the half marathon.

Today morning, I ran 21 km in 2.5 hours, the second time in the past month, and it felt great. Too bad, I have to wait till September to run in the actual marathon.

Hey, 2.5 hrs is a pretty good effort and considering that you have done it twice I feel you should surely GO for the Full Marathon.

I participated in SC Mumbai Marathon 2006 (Half-Marathon) and completed it in 2:37 mins. I only had a month to practise for the marathon… and I guess I used it well

It was only once that I ran for 11 km at a strech during my practise, but then I ran 21 km in my ‘mind’ many time… which got me through.

I am sure you can go for 42km considering ur present timming, u have already done half marathon twice in this month and that you still hav the time.

Hope to see a post soon of you deciding to go for the full marathon.

All the Best.

@Akshay : Thanks for the encouragement. Now that we have more than 4 months for the marathon, we most likely will end up going for the full marathon . Have you done the full marathon?

@Ankur : Thanks.

I ran at the last year’s marathon. It was amazing fun. Rediscovered part of my body . I want to take part in this as well as my motivation in the last year event was so stupid . I ran for the T-shirt which Aztec was giving . This time, I want to run for the cause. Hope I am fit then.

Hey guys,

Ull rock man…. 42 km is indeed a testing target. I managed a 21 km this year in SCMM. I finished in 2.43 hr. This was my first half marathon… I look forward to do a 42 km in 2008…. THis would take atleast 4-5 months of training period.. I would like to know if its fine to run long distances in these summers… i.e above 15 km… I did this on humid day… But the body jus gave up and was out of action for 7 days…… I have also been tryin to cut my weight….. But I think running is not helping me drastically…. Even though I managed to cut around 6 kgs in past 4 months…. Any suggestions from u guys?
