Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009 (David Tan)

as with the most of you all, there was not much training due to work but the usual 11 to 12km jog once a week. Longest run was 30km in Oct. But what i find that did work for me was to take it very easy the first 30km. I was going like 8-9.5max for the first 30km and then increase the speed to to 10-10.5km. I opted for this strategy and even follow the 5:15hr pacers. After the 30km that was when i caught up with the rest. The last 36-42km was quite torturous actually. Ate 3 gels (two accel gels and 1 4xsodium power gel) and I banana in total. No salt tablets were further consumed. Legs aching but i expected it. Maybe next race I will take out my compression tights and give it a try during the run. Seems to be the fashion :)
