This is pretty much how I got into running. A bunch of interesting guys who run all over the place just for the heck of it. So far we’ve done a numerous runs around KL, Penang and Singapore with some folks going as far as Stockholm & Auckland to run a marathon. The order of the run day is usually a straightforward triathalon of Run-Breakfast-Guiness. For runs in KL, we seriously recommend a stop at Bulldog’s at Sri Hartamas and for Singapore, Public House along Bencoolen Street is the place to start.
Having a bunch of like-minded people to run with goes a long way in getting you into a consistent running habit. These are the guys who are gonna motivate you, kick your butt when you’re slacking off (Hafiz, I know you’re reading this) and collectively enjoy the simple pleasures of completing races. I’m pretty thankful I found a great bunch of people on my first attempt at running and hope you do as well.
