jogging and motivation thread

But Pen A and Pen B not much diff la. I started 2023 SCSM HM at Pen C and find it ok and that was with the marathon people as well.

Most people will f it up for the first 2km aka going too fast for their own good. I used to do that but over time,I tone down a lot already haha

Same, always start a few second slower than target pace. This year Income ECO run was slowed down by the front waves, and it doesn't impact me. Infact I find weaving thru a crowd expanse more energy than necessary. The reserved energy saved from the slow start will compensate with a negative split surge at later stage.

Unfortunately today 1am plus fell down. So used to right leg as dominant leg but I go try the left leg for fun and fell down.

left hand swollen and painful cos break fall and went to A&E. Now in a cast 2 week hospital leave and next wed see specialist

Scary sia. What do you mean, you tried to roll off from the lights with your left leg?

You into S&C, plyo? Not say full on Mike mentzer HIITs cum Sprinters' kinda crazy weights/band work and plyo. But really need to be doing conscientiously for at least a good few months type.

It alters biomechanics and favours more of a forefoot strike (it's bascially negative drop). Literally no cushioning vs our regular thicc stuff.

You changing to shorter stuff? I find 3k quite interesting....so much so that past 6 mths i not even interested in 5k. (my race distance is 4k and 6k, for T100 standard distance duathlon ) I dont have the speed for what...400s, 800s.
SITs 75m just trying to look pro and aura farm out there nia. (ok lah, still got neuromuscular benefits esp for mid age folks)

for me sub 4min pace is definitely forefoot strike.
tried the spike at home (with the spikes removed of course). not much diff under foot to the racing flats that I am used to.

Not bad

Oh then shd be fine if you already have flats experience and already forefoot striking even any wee bit......conditioning already there over the years even without much S&C.
Just slowly ramp up the distance on these new spikes shd be fine.

Issue is more of those really true distance/endurance runners esp for those favouring more towards heel striking (nothing wrong) and then changing to this kinda stuff.

ya.. going to ramp up distance slowly.. 800m repeats tomorrow.. hopefully can complete 8-10x
hope to run the full 10k in these sometime in the near future

10K race pace in spikes = 大神 level

Get well soon and come back stronger.

hopefully... will not become handicap after run tomorrow

jokes aside, the on foot feel is relatively cushioned... the stack height in the forefoot is similar to the adios 9 but much much stiffer in feel.

Pen B is good already. Anyway it’s nett time. You just need to camp in front of your pen can already.

I am starting from Pen F lmao. But this year only HM and 5km runners so I think still ok

Good luck man. Hopefully the crowd is not that bad. Honestly..overtaking so many runners is quite a nice feeling also

for Singapore, National Federation should be SA sanctioned races. Other than SCSM, which is WA sanctioned, I don't think there's another SA sanctioned HM here. 10km or 5km have a few for their athletes meets.

2XU, for the last two year hoohaa for their shorten distance, make sense why SCSM insist on sanctioned race as proof. So does Boston Qualifying. Make sure is a WA sanctioned race, or else waste money.

Seems like for the locals, the another alternative is to race overseas.

Sub 130 whlist in Pen F? Will be the biggest achievement for sure imo.

SCSM runners, race guide is out. Check the refueling station, 13.3km , 22.3km and 34.1km. Looks like this year gel is Saurus Aminosaurus. 25g carbs...
Can carry 3 less gel if this brands suits you. I might get a couple to test my stomach tolerance .

Not sure what type of saurus gels (Elite & Non-Elite) is being provided for this year's SCSM, but I've tried the lemon flavor and let's just say, Its slightly less thicker as GU and the flavor is quite sour too.

 

[WussRedXLi]

Good siao on pacer for 3:00. Like in army, maybe some folks here shd go run in CN try try

Another AMDK who uses TaoBao to order.
