Looks like the bar for SEA game 10,000m has risen a lot. All top 4 would have won gold for the previous SEA Game.

2023 results as below. I don't think Shuan or SRY can catch up if the bar is maintain for 2027.

Rank	Athlete	Time	Notes
	Rikki Marthin Simbolon (INA)​	31:08.85
	Soh Rui Yong (SGP)​	31:10.70	NR
	Tan Htike Soe (MYA)​	31:25.55

Seems like this fella Nike athlete ba, go USA tak cek one like Schooling. Must be super gifted in some ways. All stars aligned.

This fella PB even faster than Hayden Wilde's (ok he is a short/medium course top triathlete) 10k....albeit by a few seconds.

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.

My easy rides ending 10.30 to 11.30 i usually no issue sleeping by 12 to 1 period. These are usually comparatively long also, 2.5 to 3hrs. In fact will be tired and wanna doze off in front of the computer.
Very important also is the sleep mask and ear plugs (use good ones like Howard Leight MAX, superior NRR).

You are right, the hard workouts are the issue. It is the adrenaline.

That's also prob why 7-8pm timing really crowded and full of exercisers. All wanna space away from sleeping time. And maybe before their meal time. Wanna do workouts high chance of accident with others.
Not a track person but i believe the neighbourhood ones lagi worse over there vs PCNs or HDB areas. lol

Must not forget that he is the oldest i guess.

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

wonder when these new Lining running shoes will be available in SG. Although i did not run in the 飞电 Elite 6, just by doing some strides in them for a few minutes, my initial thoughts is consistent with Hui's. Too ex for me now tho. Hope running enthusiasts in SG will get to enjoy this soon.

Coz need to finish by 7+ 8+ then go work, be it salaryman or own boss. You long session start at 6am that means you your own boss?

Sometimes for me, i need to clear MC and MHC/Parkway Shenton opens at 9am, report straight to clinic.
(but srsly, i need to clear, coz i never get sick enough to get MC even when kena sick)

Cyclists very normal for their weekday social rides. Meetup 5am 5.30am. Like at my place Maap Lab / Rapha, Specialized at Spottiswoode park. Then 7am start to gather at Maxwell/Amoy for kopi.

her running form is very good.. is this suitable for like 10k running?
how to run like her?

Just saw this......

Masha Dunkel is a german athlete, rather former athlete (she in her 30s already)......pet events 400m and 400m hurdles. So naturally neuromuscular and form training, is all there, even if she is former athlete and does not compete now in the top meets. Coz her current training is more like short distance, plus all the associated strength and conditioning. Helps with running economy for longer distances as well.

Even the yesterday vid of Ni Jia (MY marathoner, SEA games), he guns at 2:30 pace.

Of coz, these kind of training is useful for 3k, 5k, 10k, HM distances esp if you wanna run fast type. Not direct training but my opinion is that esp if you some plateau already then really no harm trying for 6 months and see if this helps.

Bonus : Train your calves/quads/glutes power with strength exercises and plyo (in addition to other muscles as secondary)........see kangaroo jumps damn shiok. The more power your associated tendon elasticity, the better a runner you'd become.

For me, mid 2022 already got cancelled. Too many abuse.

I am always a evening runner. But all running race held in sg are usually in the morning . So I need to train to run in the morning also

I did wake up at 4am plus but I thought it would rain . So I waited at home and only decided to leave home at 6am plus .

My start run timing was 06: 48 am

As U can see. Yes. I did 26km on a running track . . If not my knee turn jelly. I would have done at 30km. Let see whether I can do it this weekend. I am aiming to do 30 to 32km on a running track

I am always a evening runner.

in my own experience, when i transit from evening to morning runs, it took a few weeks for the body to adjust and bring the hr down to what you normally see for evening runs.
Also it takes a bit longer to get into rhythm and fatigue sets in earlier cos the body is not fueled yet unlike when you run in the evening where body is already warmed up and properly fueled.

I do find my HR high can be a number of reasons too.

Too dehydrated or too hungry .

I used to run 21km without gel or any water break.. but after knowing it is bad for kidney for not drinking water. I will drink at 10km to 12km mark.
