WHY I STARTED ULTRA RUNNING… AND WHY I STOPPED

I don’t like running. There, I’ve said it. So if I don’t like running, why is this blog full of marathons and ultramarathons??

Running the full marathon in the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2017

I ran the full marathon at the SCKLM 2017 in May this year. Sadly, didn’t hit sub-6. Still, it was a good run.

King of Kampung Kemensah 2017

My trail run at this year’s King of Kampung Kemensah went much better than it did last year, even though it was a longer route. Plus, this blogpost is only 3 months late! An improvement for me all around!

My second 50km road ultra at Route 68 2017

My second attempt at a 50km road ultramarathon was one of the most mentally challenging runs for me, personally. Especially with less than an hour’s sleep before the run.
