actually do we have Pro athletes and if their training are supported by govt ?

Im not super sure in detail who are the full pros in the local context as they (status) keep changing here and then also.....due to scholarships etc (ie your said govt/institutional support). But i believe Joseph Schooling is one...and some others in swimming, and definitely table tennis. But i think some also sure do some side jobs to supplement one lah, like do coaching, sports massage, PT etc.

But in the overseas context of solo/private pros like Kenyan runners or those triathletes type (below) who specifically earn in major terms via prizes as well as sponsorship from brands, ie sufficiently lucrative, dont think we have.

Good morning Guys n Gals, my first run after few months due to injury

Wah if tomorrow got quite serious soreness, better cut back half man. 2-3k is fine and healthy.

If your 4 to 5 hours of sleep is deep, then I think should be okay.

I mean if really genetically gifted and quite a lot of stars align, also can lah (eg Schooling).
If not, we just import.

I think he came in silver for 5k @ this year Asian games. I believe he is a step above regional runners

He’s a professional runner based in US.

His 10k PB is 27.17. Today run is like chicken feet to him. Think he just toying with his competitors judging from his kick at the end

My mum like past 15 years 3-4 hrs sleep.
Not sure how much contribution to her recent stage 3 cancer also. The 2 specs said very variable one, difficult to say....might or might not be contributory.
Stress also (cortisol). She also has part time depression.
Her inflammation levels (CRP) standard tho during the annual bloodwork checkups.....the tumour markers also not useful/in any way definitive

My sleep hours also low. Maybe average 5-6. Downside of recreational runners with a passion. I think it’s very hard to get a solid 7-8 hours of sleep if doing 80-100km/week.

you morning or evening run person?
personally I have difficulty falling asleep after evening runs especially hard workouts. Have since shifted all running and workouts to the mornings. my sleep quality and duration is much better after this adjustment.

Yah evening runner. But hard to change to morning, so being used to evening. But I think this could be a possibility. Lots' of sleeping youtuber also discourage exercising before bed time.

when young, 5-6hrs are ok when body can recover fast. But too much of it will probably experience payback in later years. But everyone's body is different.

I think this model is getting more attention after Suguru Osako broke the Japanese NR in it.
