Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2012: Editors' special advice

The EFR's Editor Team wish you all best for your SCKLM 2012 tomorrow. Some of us determine to break their own PB, some to push the limit with the new distance, some to experience first running event, some to fill their personal weight-loss program and some juz for fun. 

Whatever it is, please make sure you have trained well, rest sufficiently, carbo-load yourself, get use to 100 Plus/Powerbars (if you plan to consume 'em), prepare/plan your running gear on the day (shoe/sock/ankle or knee guard/compression/MP3/pouch) and get your running kit ready - race bib, timing device.

"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

"The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare." 

-Juma Ikangaa, 1989 NYC Marathon winner

"In running, it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, 'I have finished.' There is a lot of satisfaction in that." 

-Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder

"Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it's all about."
-PattiSue Plumer, U.S. Olympian 

"Believe that you can run farther or faster. Believe that you're young enough, old enough, strong enough, and so on to accomplish everything you want to do. Don't let worn-out beliefs stop you from moving beyond yourself."
-John Bingham, running speaker and writer

See you there!
