So far Seoul good - Korea Open Marathon - Part 2

After our quick trip down to Dongsaemun, we headed back to the Hotel at 4pm for a seminar.

New "New Balance" Design, some of which are really chic! Some of these designs will be in Singapore in the later part of this year... yay!

This is so true and I can vouch for it. If you wear certain xxx brand running shoes, after running for some time, you can actually feel certain pressure points on your feet due to the stiches etc. With New Balance, the shoes just slip in "like" socks, and you will not feel any uneveness inside. Puuurfect Fit.

Toe Box...

Total fit is a concept in which shoes should fit a person 360 degrees, and not just the length or width of the feet!

What is most impressive is that, all new design undergo rigourous testing at a very high tech Test Centre in Boston, where athletes wear these new designs and undergo various intensive testing before the shoes is in the market. I am truly amazed!

When you pay for a New Balance shoe, you are paying for its function, you are paying for the rigourous R&D!

Yayness! I got my racepack, and another new shoes from New Balance, and then one whole suit from top to bottom, and what elates me the most is the 3/4 tights!
And this is my race tag! Buy lottery!

CookiesssS!! Biscuits before and after seminar. The white thingy is damn nice la, inside got dark chocolate and is gluey gluey one... haha
After the seminar, we were drove to the Seoul Olympic Park. This was the venue where the Seoul Summer Olympics 1988 was held! and this will also be the starting and ending point of the race.
Thumbs up!


Briefing on running route, followed by a lesson given by Seoul marathoner, Dr Bang!
Very good running tips on running fast and conserve energy, hand movement, strides, feet landing etc...



This place will be flooded with 2000 runners and a few thousands supported tomorrow!
