RACE REPORT – PENANG RUN 32km

The lead up to this weekend run was problematic for sure.

Since Boston I have had intermittent problems with my calf muscles. Firstly the right calf and then the left calf. Not bad enough injuries to stop running but certainly it has hampered my training.

On the Saturday we had to collect the race kit. I did this after the Saucony Run in Gurney. It was great to have a warm up 4km jog with fellow runners and then listen to Choo Hooi Lim talk about his path to becoming a 6 star finisher. To see all the medals lying there was another form of motivation.  The Abbots World Marathon Majors 6Star Finisher medal is huge and fantastic recognition for those who aspire to complete the 6 races.

AMAZING PENANG RUN 2017 – 15th October 2017

Official race 3 in preparation for the 
   BOSTON MARATHON and the start of the “runRICKYrun Project”.

It was an early start and as normal was one of the first runners to arrive at the start. As always needed to find a restroom whilst waiting for the race to begin. This event had several races that had different start times – 17km, 10km, 5 km fun run. I entered the 17km race. Race maybe not the right word in my case as I was looking to just have a longer run at this stage of my preparation.
