Kangar, 23 Nov – Daily marathon training, maintaining a healthy food intake and to be mentally prepared were among the main tips of a student from Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) to win Melaka Ultra (MATRA) recently.

The first year student of Faculty of Engineering Technology (FTK), Mohd Zharif Asyraf Ismail said he spent some time after dawn each morning for five kilometres (KM) marathon training.

"In the evening, if there was no class or lecture, I will go for a 10KM run practice.  I usually only spend a day or two in a week to rest from training.”

"In addition, taking a balanced nutrition is one of the main factors to keep fit and healthy" he said. more
