On a thread down the page I think I put a link the the Korean Athletic Federation. A simple google search (or better yet, through the IAAF website) will get you there if I didn't post it). Not sure how helpful that will be. I didn't really look th...
Hmmm..... could be for after the race, showing you how to return it? I'd either a) see what everyone else is doing, or if that isn't possible or easy to figure out b) ask an official. Odds are someone has some English or can figure out what you me...
There are generally two types of timing chips I've seen. One that stays on the number, and the other that goes on your shoes/ankles. If the chip is on the number pretty tight, it's likely you should keep it there. If it's in a ziplock bag, it migh...
Yoo,
I don't know much about Korea specifically, but I can explain a bit about how you would qualify generally. Usually you have to have run the standard in a specific time frame and to qualify to represent a specific country you'd probably have ...
Is that the one that's 270m? Right beside the huge fancy looking apartment buildings that just went up? Or do you mean Banpo Stadium which is close to 400m, but is really for roller bladers (with the big dirt soccer field and the tennis bubble, et...
Dr. Phil (of Seoul) is okay. He helped me out with some old scar tissue in my hamstring. I should go back more but it is expensive. he is both a chiropractor and sports physio..... One of the original Seoul Synergy members from which the Seoul Fly...
I don't know of any specific tracks in those areas, though if you use google earth or an application that does (map my run is a great one) you can look for tracks... generally they show up pretty well on the application, though I've sometimes had ...
Hi,
a friend of mine has been having some issues with her knee and IT band. She saw a physiotherapist in Canada when she went home a month ago, and that helped a bit, but the problems are persisting. Does anyone know a good place she could go to ...
It's probably a bit of both to be honest, but I wouldn't blame it on Nike (as much as I would like to).
When they still had all the km marker's on the south side of the river, I would often find one km would be slow, then the next fast - all the ...
I got a trophy as well as some prizes in an envelope. Thankfully, they do give prizes to foreigners...
The race on the 10th looks pretty decent. The website is a bit harder to find out info than other races, but it looks like the deadline is the ...
16:28 (5th overall). I liked the course, though it were a bit too many sharp turns near the beginning and the end. It wasn't too bad a race for me, though I wish I had had a bit more at the end so I could have caught 4th place. He wasn't too far a...
Ed Whitlock - first person to run a sub 3 hour marathon after their 70th birthday... I remember him from many races growing up. Incredible...
Also, I did many a warmup right where that picture was taken... ahh the good old days of the Metro Toron...
Matthew,
the frustrating part about Korean races (or at least most of the ones I've looked into), is that registration often closes weeks before the actual race. There usually isn't day-of-race registration. Which can be very annoying for people ...
