I just finished my first Wednesday night training with Titiwangsa Runners. The best part was, i had the opportunity to learn from the best and ran with Malaysia's No. 1 Marathoner – Shaharudin Hashim. Sorry but no Dean Karnazes and Killian Jornet here.

The training started at 8:30 pm, Shaharudin as coach put us to the paces. 5km warm up run (two loops) around the lake, i could only pace him the first 2km before my lung gave up on me ..blergh.

Then it's the interval training, 10 x 50 meters. We were divided to four groups and raced against each other, it was different and fun training with groups compared to solo training.

It's been such a very long time since i put my body through this kind of lung bursting torture, by the end of the workout, i felt dizzy and almost puke..dang!

It’s that tough, i will try anything to throw that 9 minutes for my sub-4 Marathon finish. Hopefully this will bear results in near future.

It was a fun workout, especially when you trained with 38 others spirited runners. Now you know where i'll be for Wednesday night training from now on.
