I think he also forgets that army takes up 2 years for guys. Yesterday Soh interview some of the medalists for marathon. The silver medalist from Philippines runs 180-200km a week. Don't think that is feasible for our athletes.

For local context, this kind of high weekly training hours only suitable for those already semi-retired and in a sinang job, but then age too advanced already to be really competitive.
Then for those here lucky enough to no need to really work, high chance not interested to do sports at such a level.

Im not super sure in detail who are the full pros in the local context as they (status) keep changing here and then also.....due to scholarships etc (ie your said govt/institutional support). But i believe Joseph Schooling is one...and some others in swimming, and definitely table tennis. But i think some also sure do some side jobs to supplement one lah, like do coaching, sports massage, PT etc.

But in the overseas context of solo/private pros like Kenyan runners or those triathletes type (below) who specifically earn in major terms via prizes as well as sponsorship from brands, ie sufficiently lucrative, dont think we have.

Good morning Guys n Gals, my first run after few months due to injury

Wah if tomorrow got quite serious soreness, better cut back half man. 2-3k is fine and healthy.

If your 4 to 5 hours of sleep is deep, then I think should be okay.

I mean if really genetically gifted and quite a lot of stars align, also can lah (eg Schooling).
If not, we just import.

I think he came in silver for 5k @ this year Asian games. I believe he is a step above regional runners

He’s a professional runner based in US.

His 10k PB is 27.17. Today run is like chicken feet to him. Think he just toying with his competitors judging from his kick at the end

My mum like past 15 years 3-4 hrs sleep.
Not sure how much contribution to her recent stage 3 cancer also. The 2 specs said very variable one, difficult to say....might or might not be contributory.
Stress also (cortisol). She also has part time depression.
Her inflammation levels (CRP) standard tho during the annual bloodwork checkups.....the tumour markers also not useful/in any way definitive

My sleep hours also low. Maybe average 5-6. Downside of recreational runners with a passion. I think it’s very hard to get a solid 7-8 hours of sleep if doing 80-100km/week.
