The Standard Chartered KL

‘Zero to Hero’ training circuits from March to June, conducted by Mark Williams, the official running coach of

Marathon, and the 10km categories. The first training circuit will take place
on 10 March and the final training circuit will be on 9 June 2013.
Each session includes a short briefing on a
selected topic followed by supervised runs for a pre-determined length of time.
Participants will gain useful information such as weekly training management,
nutrition and hydration, stretching techniques, and injury prevention.
In addition to the 10 regular training circuit
sessions, this year the Standard Chartered KL Marathon will include four (4) specialised
training sessions, which are ‘Hill Repetitions’, ‘Acceleration Run’, ‘Fartlek
