Due to popular demand (translate: last minute training!) by RunNat runners, our Chief coach Keney Martin will be holding a special training session during this Hari Raya hols!
Don’t forget our training sessions are on this Saturday. If you have never been for one of these sessions, do come this weekend. You won’t regret it. For those who can’t make our training, please remember to train on your own. Worn out soldiers on the battlefield will find it hard to be effective in waging warfare!

Dear Runners and Friends!
Again we had another great training session last weekend. Some new faces joined us and we opened a new training clinic at Subang. Those who joined us for the second week in a row found that they could run further this time around! Su Wen commented that when she prayed for the H1N1 victims as she ran she didn’t feel so tired as her mind focused on the prayer and not on the run. This is what Alex Sim who trained under Keney Martin (former Malaysian runner) had to say:
“I felt blessed to be trained under former national athletes! It is an honor. What I liked most was the pre-running exercises (warm up), strechings (after the runs) as well as the toning of muscles. These helped me in my run. As I was paced by Thana (a friend and former state runner for Ng. Sembilan), I was able to talk for the whole journey. So, I guess, I am fine with praying and running with a consistant pace. I believe if all the participants come for training, then everyone will be able to cover 5km very easily”. Editor’s notes: Not sure about very easily but certainly doable!
For those of you who prefer to train on your own, we hope that you have been putting in the mileage. Distance running training is not something you can cram in the week before the event. Your body needs to be conditioned to the rigours of going the “extra mile”.
Hey Runners!
We are excited, very very excited. Because August is here and everything is running according to plan. Praise God for His Grace as we continue to prepare ourselves for RunNat09.
This month, the Run Clinics will begin. For those of you who have never run 5km in your entire life and have signed up for RunNat, we would like to congratulate you. Just by signing up, you have already won half the battle. A long distance/professional runner will tell you that the remaining battle is in the mind. No worries, help is here. It’s time we gear up for the event.
RunNat09 will be conducting our first training session next weekend (only in Klang Valley). There will be two venues and you may pick the one closest to your location. Just let us know via email which venue you plan to take part in so that we are able to arrange the number of trainers required. Details as follow.
