18 weeks to go before the Singapore Marathon and I have just drawn up my training plan for the event. Need to register and book my travel later today. After going through a fairly sluggish period where my running was more in the region of 5 to 6k since finishing the Brisbane marathon in a personal record time of 4:45, I feel am ready to ramp up my mileage. I think I will drop out of the Hyderabad half marathon on 16th Aug. Will gun for Chennai half marathon on 31st instead - 2 hrs target > may be tough (with a 6:30 start) but will give it a go.
For Singapore prep this time around I will do hill / interval training on Tuesdays, and visit the gym at least 2 days a week for core and back strengthening, besides stretching and doing some weight training. I am also wanting to lose 2 to 3 kg, the thinking being that I can go faster.
Project Doberman is also a temptation... this is one where I lose my beer gut and am able to run topless shamelessly like the two blokes who did so during the last ECR run! But for this I think running alone won't do - a life style change is required... beer, eating out, greasy, non veg food, sweets & desserts have to go or reduce - now that's a real challenge for me!

Hey Tiger - all the best for Singapore!
On losing you beer gut - I've been doing a lot of sprinting this last couple of weeks. Finding that it is dropping waist sizes but not the weight. So Im very happy with the effects. You could consider one sprint workout a week to help increase your basal metabolic rate.
Regards,
Sandy
