(Keep an Even Pace
One of the keys to achieving your best marathon time is to keep an even pace throughout the race. Go out too fast and you'll hit the wall, go out too slow and you won't be able to make up the time later (but you may feel more rested at the end). Determine the pace that you believe you can honestly achieve and stick to it.
Use these wristbands to guide you through those miles (or kilometers) when your mind can't do the math anymore (or you want to save your concentration for your race). Of course you may need to modify these numbers to take account of the local terrain - but these pace bands will help you along.
The pace band will be displayed in PDF format, and can easily be printed. If you don't have it, you'll need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Your personalize pace wristband will include split times for every mile or for every five kilometers, and includes the half marathon time.)

MR 20km

Met up w XZ, Buay, tao, CCF & fennel @ MR for our 20km run... piglet & was running w her kakis in prep for her climbaton.

This was my first 20km after a layoff of 1 month... my intentions was to test whether would my ITB flare?

Started off slow, was see that my fitness level has dropped... was struggling to maintain my pace at the first 3km. Manage to pick up the after passing the three humps... feeling good I quicken my pace & complete the run with no issue.... jus tat my ITB feels sore during the late afternoon... time for more rolling, btw i found out that tennis balls works better than foam rollers... but the pain is twice of much... SWEET SWEET PAIN....

Anyway a good work..... Thanks for the company gang..... :)
