As some of you may know, I've started joining a running workshop organized by Skechers, Kumoves, and Xcelerate Fitcamp. The workshop is conducted on every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month at 7.30am at Lake Garden.
This weekend, the 23rd of December, they'll be having a workshop titled "From Zero to Hero" and will be concentrating on the topic of how to start running, how often to run and how to keep yourself motivated.
I would highly recommend this workshop to those of you who would like to pick up the sports of running either for competition or for health purposes. Do come and join us on the 23rd December at 7.30am near to the Deer Park entrance.
For more info, do visit http://www.runnersmy.com You can also sign up for the newsletter and register there.
Remember, Running is the real sports. The rest just play with their balls.

Running Academy and I
Had a great time this morning. Instead of going for my normal Easy run this morning in my Merrell Road Glove, I decided to join the Running Academy at Lake Garden, jointly organized by Skechers Malaysia and KuMoves. The workshop is conducted on every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month and registration can be done at here. They start the workshop at 7.30am and I was there by 7.15am. I was surprised to find that the parking was nearly full! Apparently there's 2 entrance and I've headed to one of the more popular one. I'll try the other one next time round.
While there, I bumped into Lorna Roderick nee Wong and Markus Kus who's part of KL Runners. It was a nice and pleasant surprise, especially after I found out they're helping out with the Workshop. There were quite a bunch of us there, approximately 15, with a healthy mix of Noobs like me, and more experienced people.
Apparently I got into their 4th session where they have a performance check/challenge going on. We started off with a 2K warm up where we had a group of runners chasing another, kind of like Police and Thief. Once caught, the one chased became the chaser. We follow that up with other games to get the heart rate up. What really got to me was the stairs repeat. 10 years of lack of exercise really catch up to you then. My quads tightened up and I had difficulties coming down the stairs. Needless to say, I'm pretty much bummed after that :P
I would say that, the workshop is very very nice, with lots of information and different type of exercises which you can pick up and incorporate into your ordinary routine. It may however be a tad tough to newcomers. We had a bunch of early leavers and a girl that stayed for all the exercise emptied her breakfast after a very valiant effort to hold it in.
To people who sees this as a challenge to overcome, and as a new baseline to work on and get better at, this is a good workshop to come for. Personally, I found out the weaker points of myself where I need to improve on in 1 session and will be working on it to get better. For others however, they may get the wrong impression whereby this workshop is not too friendly/useful for new runners. Don't get me wrong, the organizers are nice and friendly and I can see that they are trying to make things fun and interesting to the runners. It's just that some newer runners than me may find it a bit tough to keep up.
Hopefully the organizer can address this issue especially since it's in their agenda to get people to run again. Looking forward to more sessions and more people joining in the workshop.
