I do think most of the gears we use were not only essentials but also make us look pretty cool. Part of the fun of running is the gears, well, at least for most of us. That provided a good chance for me to test which gears would be most comfortable to wear during the cold mountain night in Bromo when the race started. The cold weather was just a nice addition. I think the average weekly milleage I did during the trip was around 80km.

During that trip, I managed to catch up on my long run training. Luckily, I made a very good decision by making an impromptu travel to Copenhagen and Norway in early October. And I could not run more than 10km on treadmills as it is extremely boring. As I could not run outside when it was hazy. Unfortunately, the haze condition affecting Singapore a few weeks prior to the race affected my training plan. – Hills training once a week which for convenience sake I only did at home (up and down the stairs) or on treadmills for around 45-60 mins per session – Do a few back-to-back long runs to train running on tired legs (Also I figured I would not have the chance to run a 40-50km run at one go)

– Increase my long runs up-to 30km per run I felt that I should be okay to finish the 70km race if I keep this milleage and do a few modifications to my trainings: – 7-10km run on Saturday if I do run on this day Hmmm, how did I prepare differently for this race than others? Prior to BTS’ training, my weekly milleages was around 40km, which consists of: I chose the 70km as it seemed to have a “reasonable” altitude gain of 2,950m for the distance and it is supposed to be very scenic, passing the scenic highlights of both Mount Bromo and Mount Semeru area.įor further information on the race, you can visit its website at: The 170km is quite notorious as the finishers’ rate is generally low, ranging around 20-45% finishers out of the number people who started. It offers several distances: 10km, 30km, 70km, 102km, and 170km.

It is one of the most scenic race in Indonesia as the route crosses several mountain ranges, from Mount Bromo to Mount Semeru, and to Mount Batok for the longer distances. Bromo Tengger Semeru Ultra (or more well known as BTS ultra – or also nicknamed as “Brutal Torturous Sadistic” race) was first held in 2013. Thus, I signed up for a 70km distance on a local race in East Java, Indonesia which was held in early November 2015.
