DTC begins SATURDAY LONG RUNS in preparation for KL half marathon


Let’s start training! There are lots of races coming up and the DTC has chosen the Kuala Lumpur (KL) half marathon as its target race for the spring. Join the club for group training starting with a weekly Saturday Long Run (SLR) THIS Saturday! Don’t be intimated by the LONG in Saturday long run. This Saturday we will follow the DTC half marathon training program schedule (email us at dhakatriathlonclub@yahoo.com or post to this site if you would like a copy) and run a nice easy 7 miles. Some of us have been injured, not been running much and/or are recovering from a recent marathon. So, I cannot reiterate enough that the pace will be NICE & EASY! You can think of SLR as a SLOW long run if you like!

SATURDAY LONG RUN (SLR)

Saturdays 7AM American Club entrance

We will meet outside the American Club (ARA) front gate just before 7AM Saturday, February 16th (and will meet each Saturday thereafter unless posted here otherwise) so we can leave on the run at 7AM sharp. The route will be measured for 7 miles. Cue sheets will be provided so the group is not required to stay together the entire run and so that people can choose to add on or cut the route short.
