原來honolulu個全馬好出名呀!小妹有幸1998年跑過,但很慢,4小時幾,幸好跑完先出太陽...
如果打算參加,最好早D報名和訂機票,因為要很多日本人會在這段時間去honolulu渡假的!

Lucky you!!!  Saw the images of Hono race and it looks fabulous!  My ultimate target is to join all the major marathon events around the world each year! I think 4.5 hours  great!  I wish I can finish mine one at this time!!!  Heard that it is very tough at the last 10 km, is it true and how you handle that?

cream c tse,

There are two killer slopes along the course.  One is from around mile 6 to 8 when going up to the top of Diamond Head Road, the other is also going up on Diamond Head Road (opposite direction) at mile 24.  Once get to the top of Diamond Head, the rest of the 1.2 miles is all downhill all the way to the finish line.  See the elevation gain on both slopes ~ short and steep!! The rest of the course is pretty flat.  Here is the course map, elevation chart and a couple of aerial photos I shot from the plane.

ivrunner ctse,

This is COOL!!!  I do envy of you who have been so many marathon abroad!  I think I would like to do the same in the future - lets see how I feel about the Chicago one first.

Can see there are big slopes at around 15 km ... do you still run at slopes or take fast walks?  I always try to run the slopes even at slower pace but at the end I always give up cos it was just too harsh.

I am training for my slopes now, just hope to strengthen my leg muscle a bit more.

Oh no c tse, I am not c tse, I am the opposite!  I live in USA so it isn't really abroad for me!

As for running up slopes, sometimes I go all the way, sometimes I stop half way to catch my breath.  I have a tendency to have leg cramp if the slope is almost towards the end of the course which it happened to me at this year's Los Angeles Marathon back in March.

Pardon me, C-HING!!!  

Is the LA marathon fun and flat to run at?  If it is, I may join the LA marathon next year and can visit my family at the same time.

You are so lucky to live in US as there are many top marathon races happen there.

Is c tse from LA?  I live in Las Vegas. I run LAM every year.  Next year will be held on March 1st.  It will be my 4th one.  I ran with an injured foot this year.  They have just changed owner a month ago.  I hope they keep the same route.  It starts outside the Universal Studio, Hollywood, Koreatown..... and finish in the middle of downtown LA.  Not really flat, the 1st 1.7 miles is all uphill then 1. 3 miles all downhill.  A 長命斜 at aournd mile 22.  Just like Chicago, there are tons and tons of spectators along the route.  I have typed up a race report here with pictures and video. Enjoy.

Thanks for the link and will definitely take a good look at that.

I am working at Hong Kong but my family lives in LA.  I visit them once or twice a year - the LAM just gives me a perfect excuse to go there more often!  

The LAM sounds quite challenging with all the slopes ...

Have your run the Standard Chartered Marathon in Hong Kong before?  It is held in Feb or early Mar each year.

I dont know what will work for you. But for me... my calves will cramp if I stop running to walk... Some people powerwalk in steep slope, some run/jog... try them out in LSD then you will know wut works for you..

Boston is also my dream, but the qualifying standard is tough.

Yes you are definitely out of your mind, you marathon lover!

The LAM sounds tempting but it is too closed to SCHKM .. have to seriously think about this ...

I am soooo looking forward to Oct, just know that it can be fun, despite the hard work I need to put into!  Do you normally carry some water in your run?

This will be be my #10 marathons (woohoo! finally going into double digits!!).  According to one of the TV stations in Honolulu, as of November 19th ~

21,856 registered, down 20.5% compared to last year.

13,670 from Japan, down 15% compared to last year.

Well, I still have #9 to do on 7/12.

I had an opportunity taking pic. with the world famous marathoner Jeff Galloway last evening before joining him for a 5K fun run in rainy weather.
