Interview: Daniel Chia from Macritchie Runners 25

How do you train for a race?
To prepare for a long distance race, I run five to six times a week, covering 10 to 15km each session. I have a minimum of one speed training per week, where I do at least 10 sets of 400m intervals. I also squeeze in a 10km tempo run twice a week.

How can running be made less mundane for the average runner?
Listen to music and run with pleasant scenery. Also, try to run in groups to socialize.

Any diet tips before race day?
Avoid alcohol and fried food when training; instead, eat more fruits and vegetables, and drink more water. Also, try to have a light snack, such as bread, before hard training.
