2XU Compression Run On 7 April 2019

The 2019 edition of the highly anticipated 2XU Compression Run will be taking place from 4.30am onwards, on the morning of Sunday 7 April at the Formula One Pit Building.

Amongst Most Anticipated Running Events In Singapore

Since the staging of the inaugural event in 2011, the 2XU Compression Run, organised by Pink Apple Pte Ltd, has quickly become one of the most anticipated running events in the Singapore running community, over the years.

Quality And Excellence

According to the race organisers, the reason for this is because the 2XU Compression Run encompasses quality and excellence, pushing every runner to their limits to accomplish what they think is otherwise impossible.

Not For Faint Hearted

As well, 2XU markets their annual run as being an event not for the faint-hearted, but targeted at every urban warrior out there. After all, 2XU’s slogan, “Human Performance Multiplied”, brings out the athlete spirit, pushes physical limits and maximises the potential of athletes.

In the spirit of 2XU and wanting to give myself a challenge, I had initially joined the 2XU Compression Run for the first time in 2013, taking on the Half Marathon distance.

And since that year, I have been a regular participant of the event because I continue to feel that it is that it is a well-run and well-organised event.

I am now looking forward to the 2019 event of the 2XU Compression Run, where I hope to take on the 21.1KM distance once again.

Event Apparels To Feature POLYGIENE® Odour Technology

For the first time in 2019, too, 2XU Compression Run runners can look forward to receiving event apparels with the POLYGIENE® Odour Technology – and this revolutionary material will ensure that runners remain fresh and odour-free both during and after their Run.

Utilising 2XU’s breakthrough moisture management technology to keep you drier through high-filament yarns and cooler through the material’s advanced knit structure, you can wear your clothes more, wash them less and reduce your environmental footprint, at the same time.

Running Entitlements

All runners who sign up for the Race will be entitled to a Running Singlet made of this material, together with a Race Finisher Medal that’s unique to their running category.

And for the 21.1KM runners, they will receive a Finisher T-Shirt, in addition, which has been manufactured using the same revolutionary materials.

Prepare For The Run With S.STAR Fitness

Runners who wish to prepare themselves better for the 2XU Compression Run, can attend the ongoing workshops with Coach Andrew Cheong from S.STAR Fitness, with topics including applying sport science to your training, how to run injury free, how to choose the right footwear to match your feet arch type, recovering from a marathon, mental strength and strategies for running as well as diet and nutrition strategies.

I had attended one of these talks recently, which was the one on Marathon Training and Recovery and I thought that the session had been both useful and highly informative. Coach Andrew had imparted me with a wealth of information that I can definitely take away with me.
