Tried to do my first run of the year yesterday.

I have a pain that radiates from the left side on the shin , slightly below the knee cap.
Not too sure if its my running posture , will go back to my gel kayano and try again .

Quick question, my current 105 Di2 R7170 (latest 12 speed), the FD can just change directly to the R8150 FD (12 speed) right? With no compatibility issues after syncing. Significantly faster changes for front chainring which is quite applicable for me. Not exorbitant pricings also.

no need to waste your money. I have both 105di2 and ultegera di2 not much difference.

Tapering for me start this week. Any gain during the peak phase for the past 3 weeks, will likely manifest in next week and final week. If no gain means training wasted. LOL.

Any improvements from your last FM will mean a gain right haha. This year with no WCH and Sheares bridge, I think most will improve from their last year timing.

I thought last week you already started running ?

What type of pace and elevation ?

Start short distance, slow and at the stadium track.

Some gauge of gain pre race can be determine during tapering phase. When you raise your form and reduce your fatigue , you will likely see gain slowly creeping up. Also a good time to do the yasso 800 if you want more confidence. Else just trust the process.

SINGAPORE: Singapore residents are living longer than almost anyone else in the world. On average, 81.2 years for men and 85.6 years for women. But life in good health? Not necessarily.

According to the Ministry of Health, only about 75 of those years are spent in good health. That means many Singaporeans suffer up to 10 years of poor health before dying, battling frailty, chronic disease or disability.

waa, still cannot breakeven with CPF life for men

Me between vf4, vf3 or xiao nian.
VF4 aggressive hard plate and rebound gave my right foot metatarsal region a beating in my last Saturday long run. Now wondering if I should switch to vf3 as it was much gentle on my foot in SCSM 2024.

Wow you sold the slot?

I didn't sell it away ..still pondering what to do ?

 

[winningeleven]

Welcome back. Hope this time round your injury is finally fixed. But going too long, too fast, too soon might not be advisable.

Since late sept. I started my 1st run with. 5km , then increase 1km every time for the next run . Up till 13 km during mid oct ..I went to Japan for vacation for 1 week plus ..came back and restarted again . But increase more each time. 10km , 11km , 13km ,15 km and finally 21km on last friday.

Overall it took me more than 6 weeks plus to get back a sub 2 HM after injury .

Wow Xiaonian in the mix. But you never tried Xiaonian on a LR yet right? Quite risky to use it on race day if you didn’t

Go soak in the atmosphere Loh haha. Since you can already do HM already,think run walk is ok

You are on the right track. Just take it slow and steady. Don’t rush it.

The thing about running is you need consistency to show results. To do that,you need to stay injury free
