First proper run in almost 6 months ?

Used a new shoe (Brooks Glycerin GTS 20) to replace my dying Gel Kayano 30. Hope the shoe lasts

Accompanying my gf as she has a marathon coming up

quite normal , i go to races, the speed is 40kph but at the back all talking nonsense de.

Yea it's not difficult when drafting a huge-ass peloton or behind a bus/truck even tho 4-5 car lengths away and hands on the brakes (no need to stick right up to it, dangerous la). but really totally different ball game when solo or even with few pax in front in a disorganzied manner and bigger distances between riders.

Still, i think with a big ass bus in front of me and i sticking right up to it, i 100% wont be able to do 75-85 bpm @ 30. Coz i have experimented with strong tailwinds before at Bay East Garden @ even ~ 25kmh recreational type riding within PCN limit... no such thing as 70+bpm. But 90 bpm, yes.
When solo and still relatively fresh/not hot, my 30kmh is approx 110-115bpm. My lowest resting HR in the morning i hit high 40s.

76-85bpm, i think literally all recreational type walkers normal pace walking already bpm higher than this. Heck some people sit down in aircon conditions already 75 bpm possibly over 80bpm ....like my colleague who sometimes hit over 90 sitting down (just late 30s only ) but he is rather unfit ba.

Kipchoge training requires to wear a CGM. At first I was abit shock to see a CGM on him. After checking with AI, it's part of the NN training methods.

15 yr old heavy injuries. Others chiong red light also.

Really dont understand.....play hobby is good to be serious. But not until this level or take unnecessary risks during a race ba.

Not trying to haolian or what.......Just happened yesterday, junction outside Tiong Bahru Plaza (just finished visiting my mum at SGH), i crossed the white line when it was amber (almost red). Jamming brake while amber would be risky for me, if you are a SGRVer you'd know. I knew cannot chiong one, coz at my speed of ~ 25. crossing the pedestrian crossing in front of me is risky. So i slowed down, and sure enough got elderly started to cross before the green man. Bo bian, braked and got stuck at the edge of yellow box (but 100% safe for all parties including vehicles on my left turning out), and i waved the whole lot of ~ 30 pedestrians to start crossing.


Such things just need to be defensive. And possibly helped with years/decades of good driving experience.

sometimes go too fast cannot brake in time

sometimes go too fast cannot brake in time

Yeah......too fast too slow also have their own issues.
Bicycles are a bit unique coz at 25-30, even if you legally cleared the first junction, the subsequent one (for pedestrians) might not clear. Even 35 some big junctions i came across like Cantonment Rd/New Bridge Rd at my place might not clear also.

One other fear that i have is the vehicle behind me whack into me if i jam. Worse. If i drive car then i dont really care lah.

i was in europe.. low single digit temperature
they just wear shorts and hoodie jacket..
for the hoodie jacket should have a base or just 1 top and bottom down?
can tahan ah and apply to us?

my question:
if say for around 15C. just a windproof jacket enough? I want to get a jacket during BF sales.. what to look out for? Tks

Of course not, wont apply to us, the same thing goes to them coming here. Need at least a week to acclimatise and even then is just barely.
15 deg just a normal windbreaker relatively thin jacket and jeans would do unless you are going to do 1 full day of outdoor activitiy, keep your hands in your pocket and pull up the hood to cover your neck.
The idea is to keep moving/walking (fast) when you feel cold. When you need to stop, eg at the lights, keep jogging on the spot.

what I mean for running not for leisure..so normal running attire + breathable windproof jacket settle?
should I go for a cheap one https://www.decathlon.sg/p/men-s-ki...trail-running-jacket-blue-kiprun-8926413.html since I seldom use?

Just sharing. 100% true story.

The power of deep wave sleep (SWS) for recovery is really is true. (in addition to NSAIDs to "reset" of coz)

Past 3 days wrist/forearm outer tendon a bit painful when i twist my arm around. Should have overpulled something via dips, one arm deadhang or bicep curl, more so on the last 2 exercises.
Possibly the shrugs (resistance bands) but not so sure abt this one coz not the most demanding on grip strength.

Anyway, a bit pain for 3 days when twisting around and decided that total rest is not the way. Hooted 90mg arcoxia in the morning and felt it improving throughout the day. Last night at 11pm 50% as painful as in the morning, so pain is still there but got improvement. Night time got a bit of allergic rhinitis and hooted a chloropheniramine, the drowsy yellow tablet. Zzzzz nicely.

Now woke up and zero pain, as in really zero. Will it come back in the afternoon, later post again.
Not sure if it is arcoxia 90mg (just 1 pc only) or arcoxia + sleep though.
