Not a new vid but quite interesting

How can secondary sch students run this fast. That's basically like a 7 min few seconds 2.4, not PB but training.

Anyone train for zone 2? Very difficult to maintain the speed to be consistently in zone 2.

for some zone 2 could be your walking pace, eg. me now. One's body needs to be conditioned via low intensity high mileage accumulation and high intensity trainings to establish a clearer zone 2.
In short, need to train to achieve such fitness conditions.
my advice is just start running and try to use fully nasal breathing or run with someone and chit chat along the way. If can maintain throughout, then in principle, around zone 2 liao.
no expert, just sharing my experience and opinion.

I use hr to determine . Most of the time , I use mouth to breathe . Not sure accurate or not . Cannot sustain the same pace for 1 hour run . 2nd half , pace will drift up 7 percent

Context matters. If you are starting out in running or low mileaege type, dont go by heart rate. Go by RPE instead. I feel like Z2 running sucks the joy out of beginner

Weak yen + tax refund. Can save quite a bit depending on how much and what you buy

First things first bro, you can always ditch the cleats and see if you can take it. Secondly, if you are in any unsafe groups, ditch that as well. Thirdly (which i think you are always doing also), just do solo lah.

High chance you can take it without cleats. Without cleats, there is a much higher chance that you'd be able to land safely even if you screwed up on the flat pedals.......it's just normal reflex.
If you dont trust me, try it first on glass and trying starting off with the wrong foot or even trying to switch from sidewalk to road via a normal kerb and you'd definitely be off balance, but see how fast your reflexes can take over (coz tip of feet cannot touch the ground) and you wont really fall. Difficult to describe to you, but you gotta try it. The vast vast vast majority of your other road cyclist friends wont be able to advise much on this to you, simply coz they are not on flats.

Go TB and get those flats and CF pedals which has a lot of pins, mountain bike flat pedals (110mm wide), you wont slip off the pedals even when off-saddle and putting out 400-500W one lah.

No need to ditch cycling, you did not kena a traffic accident with another vehicle, in which this risk can be largely mitigated with routes and timings. You are not using the bike like a motorcycle doing commuting during more normal hours, be it locally or overseas.

For the distances and stuff that you are I are doing, really no use for cleats. Plus the age too and subsequent consequences should something happen. In fact, i know some masters UK duathletes use running shoes, for 20km duathlons....both the first and second places on podium. Overall faster than cleats actually (that's what they claim, i never bother to verify). They are not slow, iirc 42+ avg speed on bike (draft legal event tho, not like T100) and the 2.4k converted run was in 9 mins range...i just checked, 9:18 for 2.4k (the run legs are 2.5k each). These are very very performance oriented fast folks, and if over 20km they can be faster with cleats over flats, for sure they will use it.

last time I ride MTB, hybrid and foldie I use flats. actually I learnt clipless cos my friend say if I understand cycling I should go clipless cos riding road bike .

not any clipless but roadie clipless cos roadie. So I learnt cos I paiseh ppl laugh I ride roadie but no clipless

Thanks for SIC. Did you buy the Xtep 2000km 5.0 pro? Can PDD ship direct to SG easily?
