Ten more days to go before Aqua Line Marathon 2018. As I have repeatedly mentioned in this blog, I have been loosely following this training regimen recommended by former ultra-marathon world record holder Mr. Takahiro Sunada. The training tonight is the one recommended for the last but one week.

I tried 3 K + 2 K + 1 K three times in the past. I couldn't meet the target twice in a row, and only at my third attempt was I able to make it. A 3 K fast run was that hard. A mere prospect of doing it made me feel sick to the stomach. In fact, the pressure was so large I burst into an uncontrollable laughter just before I ran it. I guess my sub-conscious was unable to bear the mounting pressure and somehow wanted to release mental energy to balance out the mind-body integrity.
