Why Marina Bay is a Great Place to Run in the Evening

The usual crew of SG Unfit Runners have been logging in runs on weekend early mornings when the crowd is thin and the breakfast is fragrant. Our lone night crew, Bad Bear, sprained his ankle during one of his in-line skating venture and after resting for 3 months, felt...

My Reflection On Sundown Marathon and Tips For Beginners

Once Upon A Time Back in 2008 when Sundown Marathon started, I was not into running. But as the hype from the event drummed up, I was tempted to take part but alas there were no slots left in the categories suitable for a newbie like me. The ‘damage’ was...

Getting back in the game with new 5km category at upcoming Sundown Marathon...

Getting back in the game It's been three months since I fractured my ankle and tore a ligament in the Urbanathlon obstacle race.  Recovery whilst ongoing is excruciatingly slow for my somewhat impatient nature.  I miss running.  I miss working on improving.  I'm still very much a novice and itching...

Race Review: REAL Run 2015 [10km] (by ‘runforfun’)

I am going to do my first ever trail running race with Real Run 2015 this Sunday! Hopefully this shoelace trick can help to...

Gear Review: Oster® My Blend (by GreeneryRunner)

I like convenience as much as I like making smoothies! The two-step combo of blend and drink is super easy.  I used to make it in a tall plastic tumbler with a hand-held blender, which seemed pretty convenient.  I'd put my fruits in, add a little ice, sweeten with a little...
