Text of the page (random words):
to whom when i was actively competing especially in the junior years school or early part of my senior years am not veteran yet senior as in open category the less competition i have or the better i am the chances of me winning will be better of course when i say winning here doesn t mean to finish in the no 1 position it could be a podium finish or even a placing that will earn me a small token of prize money goodies so i can understand when some of the top runners in the country are actually complaining to the organisers that bringing in the top runners is not a good idea and they should do something to protect the top national runners who are looking to have less competition i definitely foresee that this came from only a certain group of runners no offence intended but we also need to understand that majority of the top runners are from an average income or lower income group who looks for opportunities to earn side income from these races when top foreign runners come in their side income are affected for this we need to understand from their perspective too a lot of them are not sponsored or have any financial backing most of these top runners will just put on their running shoe and gears could be used for many years if not sponsored unlike some of us who are earning comfortably above average who can afford good shoes apparels and gears changed frequently or expensive ones if i may add to it e g gps watches compression tights hi tech shoes etc just a facts of life if we can afford it we buy it unless the complaints in banning foreign runners are from those above average income earners they should knock some senses into their own head of late we see a lot of road races nationwide dominated by these kenyan runners i guess this was source of how this whole issue of foreign runners become a debate before that normally you will see couple of mat salleh in the podiums but no one even complained this is also something you must understand from the top running nation notably from kenya they too are like some of our top runners they too are looking for opportunities to earn money if you read the book running with the kenyans by adharanand finn you will understand what money meant to them or how running has changed their life and in a running nation like kenya to even get into a podium or even the national team is so hard that a lot of these runners migrated or competing overseas in search for a greener pastures some countries even offered them residency so that they can compete as their national life is hard for them just as it is hard for some of our top runners i learnt from chan yew that in the states they all had to compete with the top runners in all their races not just nationally but internationally even at their collegiate level the runners from the states did not complained about it but rather took into their stride to improve themselves and actually believed that they can compete against the best in the world we have seen the results when some of runners from europe or the us upstaging some of the big names in middle or long distance events for me i think that should be the way if each one of us wants to improve ourselves competing against the best looking back in my running cv my timing usually improve when competing against the best and of course proper training although i was not in the top position if i was able to beat some of them i would feel very proud of myself but of course i do think that i do earn an income above the average so winning may not be a priority however when each one of us are racing we are always looking to pass the runners in front of you therefore top national runners should embrace the competition and look into ways of improving themselves rather than complaining to the organisers in banning foreign runners no 1 they won t improve themselves if they keep competing against local runners who are still far from world class and n o 2 banning foreign runners from competing will not work well with our sports tourism especially if we want to make our country a top sporting destination what some of the organisers can do those which can afford cash prizes they may look into offering prizes in two different categories international and national which is what some of the big races do i e standard chartered singapore kl marathon this may not be feasible for smaller organisers but they can look into offering hotel stays trips electrical products and many more as prizes sponsored products other than cash i am perplexed on why some of the nation s charity runs are offering cash prizes when the money they collected should be channelled into the charity organisations they are supporting offering sponsored products and medal should be sufficient for these events in the recent charity run event having foreign runners became an issue too organiser should also look into how they want to present themselves in the eyes of the public therefore making a decision to ban foreign runners to compete may have a detrimental effect to their own image or of the nation i don t think i can end this debate with what i am presenting here as everyone has their own perspective in how they view this but what i think everyone should not do is just jump into conclusion and blast each others opinions without understanding the whole situation to improve you got to compete against the best and not just becoming a jaguh kampung which literally means village champion it means the kind of person who can only succeed in that one place in their comfort zone meaning the kind of person who will never succeed outside of the confines of the village borders after all competing in a running event is the perfect level playing field except for drug enhanced performances of course where all are playing by the same set of rules competing in the same terrain and the best man wins posted by khoo yit kiat at 1 01 pm 2 comments another good weekend of runs i ve probably reduced some of my waistline very little though with couple of runs done over 2 weekends still need to be careful not to aggravate my back so far it feels quite ok all i wanted to do is to keep myself healthy for now did my usual 7 km route on saturday which took me about 39 mins to complete it was still quite an effort to complete it but glad i ran that morning the same morning check the previous report i went to the carpark besides ta securities in klcc area to see if i can score myself a slot to scklm this year registration closed only after 6 weeks with maximum participants standard chartered took the initiative to organise this event to allow those who have yet to register all we had to do was to run across the road only about 200m in distance and first 100 to arrive gets the slots well that wasn t hard to do and i got a slot it was great that i got to meet two ex epl players notably dietmar hamman liverpool and dennis wise chelsea on sunday i drove and parked my car in front of royal selangor club and met up with kit and lisa for a run lisa explained that she need to get back into running and i thought i could follow their distance which i thought at most is about 12km little that i know that they were going to do a longer distance which was like 22 23km i had to excuse myself so had to run back to the car on my own looking at watch i managed to cover 13 3km my longest run ever this year in about 1h 32m which includes about 5 8 mins stop at petronas station in hartamas not that it was a fast one but it was a good distance for me getting ready for the start dennis wise ex chelsea player with dietmar hamman ex liverpool player posted by khoo yit kiat at 12 22 am no comments monday april 1 2013 standard chartered last dash to run standard chartered contest to win 100 registration slots to run in the standard chartered kl marathon 2013 kuala lumpur 31 march 2013 celebrating its 5 th year standard chartered bank malaysia bhd the title sponsor of standard chartered kl marathon scklm held a last dash to run contest yesterday for the public to win 100 registration slots in the upcoming scklm 2013 participants clad in blue and green gathered early for the flag off at jalan p ramlee the first 100 runners to arrive at the finish line at the standard chartered kl park won a coveted spot to part icipate in scklm2013 the contest was organised to allow more runners to participate in the marathon on 30 june 2013 through standard chartered s own allocation of registration slots due to overwhelming response scklm public registration closed at 33 000 within six 6 weeks taking many by surprise and leaving ardent runners without a slot to run in the marathon standard chartered said this is just one way in which we can help more runners participate in the marathon the event was joined by epl legends dietmar hamann and dennis wise who don their running shoes to encourage the runners the legends were in town to launch the standard chartered epl 2013 a local football tournament between epl legends and malaysian all stars team coming up in april posted by khoo yit kiat at 12 15 am no comments sunday march 24 2013 getting back on my feet it has been awhile since i last wrote a post there was nothing exciting to report about no rigorous training no races it s more like eat work watch tv sleep it quickly became a routine and fitness dropped to ground zero of late i tried to put in more runs into my schedule but somehow i am getting more injuries than before my plantar faciitis on my left foot is still affecting me and now i have a back lower back issue i get a twitch in my knee at times too but nothing major i hope if i tell that to a non running friend or hardly workout friends first thing they will say is i think it s because you are running too much to be honest that s just something i hate hearing especially of how little they know about running of course running does affect my injury but why or how it happen should not be blame in running alone i never had any major injuries when i was training hard for my races before i think i had all these injuries after a long lay off from running problem this time is i ve gained weight which was a hard thing to do in the past it may due to aging and slowing down of my metabolism practically eat out most of the time my medical report will probably fail miserably if i do a check up now i do have a history of high cholestrol level probably from genes and main contributor would be eating out now i am back to the drawing board in running i still have an aim to go below sub 3 hours in a full marathon current pb is still stands at 3 05 berlin marathon 10 is it possible i don t think it is that hard looking back at the training i did for berlin my weekly mileage averaging around 55km the highest i went was only 85km week i ll try to target for a marathon race in 2014 to allow myself more time to get back into shape and also time to heal my injuries in the last week i had the pleasure of running with chan yew the national record holder in full marathon 2 25 although it was only a short run for me it was great feeling to be running with an elite during our first run in desa park city i asked him if he wanted to do a running clinic for runners which he agreed to i invited the dutamas runners gang the turn out for the event was better than i expected with other runners from another group also joined in i think everyone did enjoy the clinic learning many running tips from chan yew we did a lap around metropolitan park before we started on the clinic it was more of a q a session which chan yew patiently took his time to explain every detail questions on training nutrition preparation before raceday breathing technique and many more secrets were revealed the q a even went right through to our breakfast gathering group photo credited to andrew hsien explaining in finer details of training over breakfast breakfast for champions mixed pork porridge the run with chan yew and all the running knowledge he passed on can put a spring back into my running again it was hard to find the motivation to run or train again for the past two years i have been oblivious to the races happening during this period i do miss competing at the highest level although not at the level of the elites as yet but i think i still have a lot of running in me to be competitive but for now it s more of a healing time with my injuries i was advised by my doctor to strengthen my core because of my lower back pain which sometimes can affect my upper left leg butt it was suspected as slipped disc but doctor couldn t see anything except for bone degeneration as he put it it is a minor now but if i don t take care of it it may turn our worse only time will tell how soon can i put in more runs i am also taking this opportunity to say a big thanks to chan yew in spending time with us sharing his knowledge in running we wish him the best in his training as he leaves for the state ending his holiday back in malaysia posted by khoo yit kiat at 11 09 pm 2 comments tuesday november 13 2012 dutamas runners 2nd handicap race 13 nov 2012 it s been a while since i last updated this blog but since dutamas runners had their long awaited handicap race for only the 2nd time i thought it will be a good time to get things started again there were numerous request to organise this handicap race again but since the last time we had this was a long long time ago that the time taken from that race is irrelevant now so i had to get everyone to provide me their best timing for their recent races and i will work out their timing for the selected course this time around we did it at dutamas area itself where we started the race right in front of publika friends of dutamas runners also turned up this time around although the number of participants are low but since this is no frills race having it in small number is good azri was kind enough to sponsor 2 cartons of 100 plus for our run thanks azri not forgetting kenny and raymond who provided some goodies for the participants and winners kenny with his nivea products while raymond provided sd card holders many thanks guys for the noob handicap race is not about racing a with a crutch or you being a handicap but it s about giving everyone an equal chances of winning with the slowest runners to start first while the elites will give a handicap timing or you could say a headstart with that everyone should be able to compete competitively on level ground we had about 31 runners in the start list but only 19 completed the race many including myself either dnf or dns race started at 6 30am with kenny wilson geoff and david on the starting line while the last runners took off half an hour later with raymond dave ronnie and myself in the end david came back in first place while raymond and ronnie took 2nd and 3rd respectively well done to all runners while those who dnf keep on training please take note that the timings are a little inaccurate as being a no frills race no one was there to t...
