Now that the Spartan Race is over and I have toned down my training sessions, I find that I am still having trouble with my knee. To manage the problem, I have been doing a little rehab on the side. I must confess that knee exercises are extremely tedious and terribly boring. I really wishContinue reading “Stretching for Knee Pain”

Word on the street was that there is a new boxing studio in town so the Jungle Babes went to check it out… Tribe Boxing Studio Join the Tribe.

IJM Duo Highway Challenge 2018 – Part 1
Back on the road after the Spartan Sprint in Semenyih with the IJM Duo Highway Challenge. After all the training I’ve been doing for the Spartan race, I am pleased to note that I have come back to my regular activities feeling a lot stronger. I still remember when an “easy” 10km on a Sunday wouldContinue reading “IJM Duo Highway Challenge 2018 – Part 1”
Spartan Sprint 2018 – Semenyih
After months of training, it all culminates on this one day – race day. Team Jungle Babes lost a few members to injury during training and other things, but we made it in the end. We were registered for the elite category – why elite? Because we didn’t want to race in the sun. TurnsContinue reading “Spartan Sprint 2018 – Semenyih”
Are You Spartan Ready?
Update! Now that I’ve completed a number of Spartan races, I wanted to revisited this post and edit a few things… This will be the first time I’m entering a Spartan Race so I really have no idea what I’m in for. Sure, I’ve researched photos and videos to get an idea of the obstaclesContinue reading “Are You Spartan Ready?”
Spartan Race Challenges Part 2
So I finally found the Spartan Rules Book and realised that there are a number of other obstacles that I missed when I did my first round of Spartan research. Why am I obsessing over the obstacles?

SCKLM 2018: 10KM Cruise
On Sunday 8 April 2018, DH and I ran in the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon (SCKLM). DH completed his first half marathon and I ran an “easy 10km” in the Cruise category. They call it an “easy 10” but I don’t think I will ever find 10km “easy”. I mean, check out that maskContinue reading “SCKLM 2018: 10KM Cruise”
Fitness First Spartan Workshop 4
This was the fourth and final of the Fitness First Spartan Workshops before the race at Semenyih next week. It was held at the Town Park in MyTown Shopping Mall and it was meant to be the toughest of all the workshops. Was it the toughest? I can’t say for certain because I didn’t completeContinue reading “Fitness First Spartan Workshop 4”
The Island Extreme at SkyTrex Langkawi
Ever since the Jungle Babes completed all three levels at SkyTrex Shah Alam, we’ve been talking about going to Melaka and Langkawi to complete the circuit. As it turned out, DH and I had planned a getaway to Langkawi and he surprised me by suggesting we do SkyTrex. Why was I surprised? Because DH isContinue reading “The Island Extreme at SkyTrex Langkawi”
Spartan Training at The Playground
Like your stereotypical Asian kid before an exam, I have been obsessing over the Spartan Race obstacles I might have to face on race day. The conversations I’ve been having are not unlike those I used to have during SWOT Vac: Who’s been studying for what topics. Which areas I’m going to have difficulties with. TheContinue reading “Spartan Training at The Playground”
