Standard Chartered KL Marathon Runs Its Final Clinic Before Race Day

The Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010 Running Clinic returns to Kuala Lumpur after travelling north to Penang and down south to Johor Bahru throughout the month of May.

This concluding session of the Running Clinic will commence on Sunday, 6 June 2010, at Taman Titiwangsa, Kuala Lumpur at 8am.

All Running Clinics are a 2 hour presentation style session which provides participants useful tips and advice on preparation for the marathon, ending with a run.

The Running Clinics are conducted by the marathon’s official running coach, Mark Williams, who will conduct the session as a running guide to suit any level of runners, from running enthusiasts, right down to first time runners.

Among the running topics covered in the session are training, stretching, nutrition, hydration, sports equipment and injury prevention. As part of the marathon’s effort to inspire a passion for running towards a better wellbeing, entry to the Running Clinic is absolutely free but on a first come first served basis.

In addition, all the participants will receive a training booklet that has an easy-to-follow at home guide by Mark Williams.
