SCSM 18 Training KickOff & Digital Launch

The official Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2018 Training Kick-Off will be taking place tomorrow, Saturday 18 August, at VivoCity, from 8am – 6pm.

Myriad of activities to take place

The upcoming Launch Event will feature a myriad of activities that will begin with a fun 5KM run around the vicinity together with the Official Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon pacers, who are from Running Department.

Coached

As well, also featuring at the Launch Event will be consultations with Coached, the Official Partner of the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon, to find out more about heart-rate training and experience the Sweat Test – to understand how your body processes water so that you will be able to better manage your hydration needs during the race.

I have done the Sweat Test with Coached earlier, and I have to say that the data provided is definitely useful for runners. Nowadays, I know exactly how much salt I am losing when I perspire, and I am aware of what to do in terms of my hydration needs when I am running.

Do note though, that the Sweat Test consultations are limited to the first 16 sign-ups by appointment only. So do hurry up and book your spot, if you wish to eliminate the guesswork from your running.

FoodBuddy

And as well, FoodBuddy will also be providing nutrition consultations too, which is targeted at those who are keen to find out what sort of food they will need to fuel their bodies with, in order to better their race performance.

Because everyone’s body responds differently to varying types of nutrition, I think that these consultations will definitely be useful for you to know what will benefit your body when you run and what will not work so well together with your body system.

Try on the Race Singlet and Finisher Tees

Moreover, if you are still guessing about the sizing of your race singlets and finisher tees, you now have the chance to actually try them on at tomorrow’s event, and you’ll even be able to change your size, anytime before 21 August.
