I think those Stan Chart organized marathons seem to be more well organized.

I won’t be doing SCSM this year, but I will be doing Stan Chart Hanoi in November and the price is nearly identical to Singapore one.

How is the weather in Hanoi in November.

Think should be very cooling

3 minutes pace

I like to do intervals between 2.55 to 3.30 for various distances, but i super anyhow one, no structure and no sci/training basis.....it's too fast probably.
I also do SIT / Sprint Interval Training 60 to 75 metres, but lately also not much. And also strides which are at slightly lower intensity and more gentle accelerations.

See the video above, that girl quite fast. 3K time nearly 9 mins flat and she is not full pro (she make up artiste and hairdresser), suspect she knows she is fast and so can get a bit of prize money / recognition for her hobby.
And of coz can run her youtube channel, maybe can slowly make it big.

Never been to Hanoi before, supposedly November is cooling. Saigon earlier this year in January was not different than Singapore.

Thanks, I bought the running vest @WussRedXLi recommended to us the previous time so may skip this one with the belt sewn in. Actually only considering the vest for when I run scsm

For me cycling shorts also similar stuff, just additionally with bottom gel padding. Actua;y same materials, just maybe different mix of materials and the smoothness of the threads/fabric etc.....nothing much.

It does feel a bit warm if there is not much sweat and the material is not wet, as there is no air space in between.
Coz it is engineered for exercise purposes.

I do wear underwear tho.......coz no real abrasion risk.
For cycling my aim is more for aerodynamics.
My rides do not exceed 60km, so no issue in terms of abrasion and i think my biomechanics low risk of that coz even normal polyester shorts + underwear no issue.

Wow, so expensive

https://www.singaporemarathon.com/

If you have SC credit card, 15% off. Still an expensive race.

Despite it's high cost, it's still the one race I will sign up every year til I meet my goal. I have to give up on other races like the Garmin, 2XU..etc.

The Hanoi SC costs me $116 after conversion. It's mindbogglingly expensive for us, imagine how mega ex it is for Vietnamese. But I guess you pay for the assurance of a well-run race.

Use vaseline at the painful spot prior to the run. Works for me.

I always thought the less developed country races are cheaper even for their 'premium' race. This is just as much as our SCSM. Enjoy your run there, hope the weather is good.
