500km Challenge

Hi guys, I had been busy for the last few months for pushing myself for this 500km virtual run challenge organized by Running Station, Malaysia.

I joined 100km and 300km before and now i tried to push myself beyond the limits and finally I did it. It took me 4 months to complete this challenge by using my GPS watch (Garmin Forerunner 235) with an average of 125km per month.

Virtual run is an event which participants accumulate their distance to sum up the total distance challenged. In my case its a 500km. After finishing this event, we need to submit the results online and will be awarded a medal and a tee shirt as shown above.

I joined this kind of event to keep myself fit during off season or else I will ferl lazy to train. In Malaysia, there are many virtual run organizers that we can get the information through facebook, such as 139bpm, Running Station, and Running Challenger.

For those running enthusiasts who like to collect medals and reward yourself after a series of training, virtual run is just ideal for you. For runners who wish to use mobile phone GPS to track their distance instead of GPS watch, they are also allowed to participate by using running app download through google playstore.

This year I will be joining Borneo Marathon, Sandakan Marathon, and Labuan Ultra Marathon and hope to meet steemians through running. Cheers.
