"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."
- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian
One of the things we'd like to see for this year's BSNPNM is more participation in the full marathon (42km).
For an avid runner..it is partly about going the distance and challenging yourself, right?
So, if you have done the half marathon.. what's stopping you from 'upgrading' your personal experience to a full marathon?
This year, BSNPNM will organize in few locations i.e K.Lumpur, Kuantan, Penang and Johor to help runners prepare for the marathon. The forum will have a panel featuring top-tier sports experts who will provide professional advice. Apart from exchanging views and sharing tips, one of the things that the forum would want to achieve is helping the 21km marathon runners to challenge themselves and take up the full marathon.
If you have fears, share them with us. If you need some push to go to that level, let us know too.
Will post details of the forums soon!
Hope to see you at the forums and more Oliver Kers this year! :)

PNM 2011 was 70 year old Oliver's twelfth marathon. He ran together with three friends from Ipoh, Goh Tong Heng, 61, Looi Kong Loon, 48 and Ho Yney Khuen. Like Ker, Goh and Teng ran the 42km route and Ho did the half marathon
