There's another public figure, also call Steve Chia, an opposition party with SPP. He was a ex Triathletes, and now still quite active doing ultramarathon.

Had a chat with my friend after my run today and he told me GCM registration is tomorrow. I will be signing up for it since it's first come, first serve. Had a discussion with him, and decided to run the HM instead of FM.

Race will be on 4/7/2026.

All the best! Your training has been going very well. For me I'll think about it, ask my wife if she wants to go australia as that is close to her birthday

@Kuudere As expected I did not get Berlin marathon haha. 3 tries tokyo, 1 try nyc, 1 try Berlin all no luck so far

There's a lot of non-ballot races, Gold Coast is open today. Perth marathon is open now too (October). There's also races in Japan/Korea, but never look into it too much.

I will be going for TW HM in January and likely Gold Coast in July, but need to get my leave approved for the latter first.

Have to queue for Gold Coast marathon registration, I just realised. 32k people.

Wow, but yeah Gold Coast is flat so it is super popular. Many Singaporeans go there for PB.

My HM goal for 2026:

1. <=1:23 (A goal)
2. <=1.25 (B goal)
3. <=1.27 (C goal)
4. <=1.29 (D goal)

I think I am at D goal now in Sg based on workouts. C goal probably attainable overseas. Achieving A goal would put me in sub-3 hr marathon fitness, but highly unlikely based on my mileage now.

Will experiment with 70+km average weeks next year to see how.

I originally wanted to sign up for HM but was surprised to see it being filled. Ended up going for M. Will debut marathon overseas, joining the 3.20-3.50 group.

6 months to train after my TW HM in Jan.

I know people from x trailblazers also competing in trail races, they usually do their long runs at macritchie and fast runs at Mount Faber

Wow! Go for it! I think your HM goals should be achievable. 3:20 is a conservative target for your marathon debut

Since you already signed up fo FM, just saying I feel when going for overseas race, I always feel the money spend on air tix and accommodation, makes FM is more value for money option. Apart for more distance and more logistics, the favorable climate affects more on longer distances.
Sure can meet you FM goal, your current training regime and 6 months to go. Ample time to get there.

I remember, that was the first race after covid lock down. Kena stuck in the shelter. But I thought the weather was cooling once the rain subside enough to start.
