I have always wanted to run up Mount Faber as it is a good training for marathon. so today I was on leave and went to run up Mount Faber with my friend. We started off late in the morning around 11am and boy was we in for a ride. The run was more steep than imagine and all I can do is take small steps to run up. It was more tiring than running on flat roads and by the time we reach the top, being a daily runner, I was in a better shape than my friend who was already thinking of walking back home (he live opp Mount Faber). Our plan was to run from Mount Faber to Alexandra techpark then run back through HP, CMPB. But as the weather today was really hot plus my friend was already given up, I decided to continue the run to the Henderson Wave (its a 15 storey linkage between Mount Faber to Telok Blangh). Then I waited for my friend at the stopover rest point at end of Henderson Wave.
This is the second time I run at Mount Faber. The first time was we walked up the steps so it was less tiring. I feel the run is a good to train up for the Dec Marathon where there is a area where it is up/down the Nicolle highway. It was not different from running from my home to my office where I will cross 2 steep roads (one at serangoon MRT and the other at Lorong Chuan)
