ThePineapple Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 hmm i do run, but around my neighborhood only which is - Marsiling, Woodlands, Admiralty and sometimes to Sembarwang -events I interested would be Adidas KOTR, Sundown Marathon, maybe (if my budget allows) Standard Chartered Marathon and Commandos Challenge ( not prepared yet ) Quote
radialhead Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I'm doing a couple of runs in the coming months - ST Run, Puma Night Race and StanChan. My usual route is around Semb and I'm a night runner. My usual routes:- Semb-Marsiling (using MRT route)- Semb-Khatib (doing the whole stretch of Yishun Ring Road)- Semb-Semb Park-Simpang PCN- Semb-Woodlands (thru Woodlands Ave 12 then SG Sports Sch) I'm a slow starter and I tend to rest after a bit but I'm a long-haul runner. On my birthday, I challenged myself and completed a run from Semb to MacRitchie by Upp Thomson. I'm looking for partners to train for Commando Challenge. Anyone up to it? Quote

thorzguy Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Running group can be motivating. It can be, (in my opinion) a loner sport too. Because I usually run alone (ok, with my iPod). Lol. Reason being, my working timing can be eccentric, thus either I do early morning (still coping with that) or late night run. As I stay in the east, It can be ECP, bedok reservoir or just around my estate. Quote

TheVisitors Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Sounds interesting I run 6km x 3 a week plus a moderate speed at 10km once a week as well. Would like to go extra miles but I got flat foot Sick and tired of my gym running buddy who keeps cancelling our appointments the last 2 months due to some emotional love life problem And he just did it again I usually run at night Edited September 10, 2014 by TheVisitors garuda 1 Quote
alien Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Agreed, not easy to find someone who can have the similar pace, standard and stamina, although it is still possible to find one lah. Thts y running usually is a one person activity. Quote 对自己好是一种幸福， 对别人好是一种积福。 Spend time counting your blessings, not airing your complaints.
Guest Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Lol...training can be alone or in group...all up to individual availability n location...do remember that is Singapore is a small island well connected by mrt/bus. With circle/downtown line, save up to 15-30mins of time. Within singapore distance measure up to juz 30km. Quote

Guest mrbotanyboey Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Is this a good thread for newbies like me to get into running and all. I kinda need motivation or a buddy to accompany me for me to training for future IPPTs and all Quote
Guest Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Sure..lets start by suggesting the perfect place or park to sweat it out... Quote
Guest emomomo Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Punggol water way/park has a great 18k route. Quote
Guest Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Good idea. Lets find a place that have lockers and showers. Easier. If u r safra or any gym member can put ya stuff there too. Quote
bluerunner Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Place with locker and shower facility is always preferred. It will be bad if one has to travel back home after run smelling bad taking public transport. Quote
paratr00per Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Just a suggestion: Sports Hub - Tanjong Rhu - Bay East - Marina Barrage - Gardens by the Bay - MBS/Helix Bridge - Singapore Flyer - F1 Pit - Nichol Highway - Sports Hub. I'm sure there must be shower & locker facilities at the Sports Hub. Quote

Guest Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Noted bout the route. Will check n email sports hub regarding lockers n showers facilities.Lonelyboy, lets go together. After race we go breakfast if u want. Quote
bluerunner Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Bedok reservoir also can. Can do 1-2loops or even 3 depends on individual capability. No pressure. Got shower facility there. Should have coin lockers too. Botanical Garden also can. Should be a nice place to run w the beautiful scenery. Got lockers n shower facility too. Quote

Like a motivating each other thingy..being alone sucks! If interested, juz pm me.Because of loneliness, i stop taking part in marathon/running events...feel unmotivated...I wish there is a fitness or runner junkie that enjoy socialising like me... Quote

I was doing my run alone last Sun too. I'm ok w running alone. Own time own target, no pressure. Sad to hear you have stop running in events. I remember seeing at Run350 this year. Quote

sean_sean Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Definitely. It's a sport where u can do with friends or alone. Relatively low cost too.Totally agree! Perhaps it's time for me to look for one running buddy to motivate me as well? Quote A man who stays in a cave.
bluerunner Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Totally agree! Perhaps it's time for me to look for one running buddy to motivate me as well? You can go look for SG_Charmed. Both of u can go running together. Quote
