The problem is the temperature

TONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS of walkers during 2XU. My family and I encoutered loads at MBS last weekend when we were cycling, so much so need to detour to MBCC side coz difficult to cut through the hordes.
Gave up after a few tries coz journey not smooth.

I saw one elderly uncle (70s) cycling against the direction of the 2XU though just outside Fullerton Bay Hotel, right in the lane of the event between the cones.

Wah hope his family is quite well to do.....

I can only prioritse exercise / sports now coz my career dead end liao coz a few years to senior citizen liao. ...nothing i do will ensure that i earn more in my job.

Since no comorbidities now, can hoot.

He is single so don't need spend much. Retire already, will go pursue active sporting. Train a few times a day like pro athlete.

Respectable if he can achieve it. If he can't, at least he tried

Actually have come across a female olympic racewalking participating in marathons racewalking the whole way.

Can't find the video though.

The problem is the temperature

Plus humidity. Hot temp at 30c, but if humidity lower than 80, I still find it bearable when the wind blows.. >90 is terrible.

Hi joggers and runners,

Can check if I jog, walk, jog, walk and so on, can improve my long distances?

Thks guys.

Not sure but he was riding those typical old grandfather style run errands type of neighbour bicycle and not dressed up for exercise, more for neighbourhood commute.

Deifnitely can. Just a matter of time / efficiency of the training nia, and a matter of introducing new stimulus to your body and then you adapting to it. The same goes for other things like push ups etc, which are easier to keep track and see improvements.
But you middle age also, so no hurry lah, enjoy the process.

Can I ask you all during the HM run, is it common to have a lot of runners halfway walking ?

Wait I feel embarrassed

no need to feel embarrased.

Japanese outlier. Coz after keyan, Ethiopian, Uganda runners, next best country for FM is not ang mo country but japanese.

sunday's SH HM, there were a few Japanese students super fast. timing just above one hour. super steady.

Can lah... But if too fatigue I would stop, coz there's a point where overtrain, even with enough rest and recovery, overall endurance actually decline coz too much damage. Only a race or challenge would justify pushing to that level.

Thks bro for your confirmation.
I saw youtube , those take part in 21 km , run walk and still can run and then walk n then run..
I thought once you walk, the momentum gone..

Google up Jeff Galloway, coach , founder of the run walk run method. I didn't research much into it, but read it good for beginners trying to do the long distance. Start walking before fatigue sets in. Don't wait till hit the wall, leg cramp then walk, coz too late liao, will never recover from that in a day.

That's why can participated in the HM.

If run, cannot then jog, cannot then walk

I think if your walk can maintained at 5.5km per hour, should have np in completing the half marathon within 4 hours.

It's a matter of endurance.

Another way to jog as usual but with a shorter stride as you normally jog

I find that by doing so it helped to reduce your heart rate and can maintain the pace for longer periods of time.

Yeah that helps a lot, usually for recovery runs, I lower my avg. stride length to 1.05-1.15m.

Do you all experience hip fragile after running ?

Is it the more you run, the more you won't feel it since you're already season liao ?
