Though they didn't medal, but impressed by Nicole and Vanessa for sticking to the pace and not be led on by the front runners. Those that tried to keep up with the front runners blow off.

Sometimes, it's better to run your own race than chase the leader.

Haven't run more than 10km for a long time. First run after more than a month. Cough is back after 12km, air too cold. Gave up the original HM distance.
Tried running in paces from 8min/km to 5min/km (temp range from 1 to mid 10s), all felt good in this 小鲶 but do recognise temp does have significant impact on the midsole, it gets firmer which i can feel it this morning. But doesn't affect me much.

no snow.
today when i started running was around 1-2degC, but felt colder due to strong winds. Likewise, wore a Qinkung windbreaker and beneath layer with running l/s top with a simple design to flip the lowest part of the sleeve to cover the hands like a mitten. An opening at the side to expose the watch. Bottom wore long tights with micro fleece.
for headgear, i use a hybrid type can be use to over hair and ears. When neck is too cold, it can be pulled down to the neck.

No streaming, got 6 SEA games live channels on mewatch but nothing...... Must be too many resources needed.
But that Bike lane is very conducive one, just a bit boring for running.

Even Nick Bester tried to pull him out of the race

She like just over 1.6m only, now a bit taller vs last time (1.55)
Watched some of her tokong training vids from a few SEA games ago (that time SRY ran with the Indon fella and shared drink with him coz the indon missed). Quite hardcore mindset (VN got mountains).

How fast can you run 1km?

I tried last year before........2:58 best but that was via GPS and not track but very clear skies ba (MB/BEG areas).
400m (0.42km GPS) was 65s then also.
No reason why i dont go stadium track, coz i just dont.....not sure why.

 

[WussRedXLi]

Train till this level sure no issue with fractures.

Shuan, classic case of chiong too fast in the beginning, than later in the race when critical moment to kick turbo, he has no gas for the top 3 position.

I never noticed that till you brought it up.....first lap was in 68s and second lap slowed down to 74 (72s lap for 15:00) and 3rd lap was 76. Just a bit ba.

Guess he might have his own tactical reasons and thought was worth it to try.
