This is better than the iHerb 29% off. Amazone prime sales.
California Gold product has extra $3 off for above $60. And DBS has $5 off for above $120. Both can stacked.

Damn good price.

Too bad expiry is 11/2026.

I still have 5kg in my stock now from iherb.

Let me calculate how much i need for my father and myself @7-8g/day, my kid will lay off until assessments/exams time again.

Don't have to buy Creatine if you have too much in stock. The other California Gold products are having very good prices too on Amazon. Omega 3 or magnesium.

This UK guy faster than Luis Orta, 8k + 2k float x 3. Each set < 30.30 10k pace. Alex Yee joined the workout as well, and completed the first 2 sets, stopped at 4k mark for the final set.



Former US 800m olympian gold medalist running 25 miles (40km) workout averaging 3.34 min/km (2.30 marathon equivalent). He said his goal marathon pace is roughly 2.20 marathon. So this workout has a bit of conversational pace especially at the start. His current 10 mile PB is 5.00 min/mile pace.

He plans to pace the top US women at the upcoming Chicago marathon.

Interestingly, this fella started HIT and got less (zero injury actually) injury than last time when doing high volume.

For me, the biggest pro is time savings per week (fits my schedule, i spend too much time for cycling and then running). I like to train for strength/muscle hyperthropy (but not bodybuilding) but then i dont like to grind. Grinding is only for cycling, that's the only enjoyable grind/endurance activity that i experience.
Hit 1 working set and FO for the next 3-4 days.
This is also for folks who recover comparatively poorly and take longer time (eg seniors)

And yes, i kinda like see progress faster as well rather than just grinding away mindlessly and not seeing progress sometimes. (risk of stagantion is higher)
And yeah, i am experinging more DOMs actually - nowadays is 72 to even 96 hours of recovery for just that 1 warm up + 1 working set.

~ 2-3 weeks in, i can actually now see my 3 different deltoid muscles. :oops: And the new striations :oops: (im about 15% body fat)
Past 1 year plus i trained, nothing much, though i did get to ~ 20 dips.


Also, he reported that his overall health and immunity improved, coz not constantly grinding and possibly overtraining, causing possibly immunity drop due to overtraining and/or under-recovery. He has never been sick while on this while previously he was sick much more often.
Coz now is hit it hard, and recover harder.

course routes out. This year no Sheares and no wch. Interesting flat course



Wow no WCH also........ think kena bitten liao. Maybe they realised that not everyone does 38.5 deg C core heat training. I know i dont, even though i am not particularly susceptible to normal heat, but post 9am with direct sun exposure i cannot exert race pace of any sort (not even tempoish) for long.

Like this morning, I also felt a bit unwell when trying out a bit overdistance at just LT2 pace, wanted to do 8k if possible 10k. Too warm. Just 6k into it and felt like too warm already....no point risking it for the workout

Imagine doing HM with direct solar and where you can heat soak more coz longer duration, no amount of regular training (w/o any dedicated heat training) would get me to run at this pace. With a wee bit of mid morning/early evening running then perhaps, maybe.....just maybe with a bit of luck and active cooling can finish 10k with a bit of late 7-8am sun. (i started 10k AHM past 7am with all the other folks got cleared, still open lol...but then failed to realise HM joins 10k later wtf...either that or you need to be seeded way way in front)

I prefer to do unilateral tho........ more balanced.

The gastrocs / soleus are very very strong endurance type (more slow twitch fibers) muscles. You need to shock them.......
