My sleep hour usually don't get points. Can never have a decent night of more than 6 hour of sleep to get a min points.
I wonder how am I still alive with average sleep hour of about 4 to 5 hours a day for so many years.

you morning or evening run person?
personally I have difficulty falling asleep after evening runs especially hard workouts. Have since shifted all running and workouts to the mornings. my sleep quality and duration is much better after this adjustment.

Yah evening runner. But hard to change to morning, so being used to evening. But I think this could be a possibility. Lots' of sleeping youtuber also discourage exercising before bed time.

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.

when young, 5-6hrs are ok when body can recover fast. But too much of it will probably experience payback in later years. But everyone's body is different.

I think this model is getting more attention after Suguru Osako broke the Japanese NR in it.

Looks like the bar for SEA game 10,000m has risen a lot. All top 4 would have won gold for the previous SEA Game.

2023 results as below. I don't think Shuan or SRY can catch up if the bar is maintain for 2027.

Rank	Athlete	Time	Notes
	Rikki Marthin Simbolon (INA)​	31:08.85
	Soh Rui Yong (SGP)​	31:10.70	NR
	Tan Htike Soe (MYA)​	31:25.55

My easy rides ending 10.30 to 11.30 i usually no issue sleeping by 12 to 1 period. These are usually comparatively long also, 2.5 to 3hrs. In fact will be tired and wanna doze off in front of the computer.
Very important also is the sleep mask and ear plugs (use good ones like Howard Leight MAX, superior NRR).

You are right, the hard workouts are the issue. It is the adrenaline.

That's also prob why 7-8pm timing really crowded and full of exercisers. All wanna space away from sleeping time. And maybe before their meal time. Wanna do workouts high chance of accident with others.
Not a track person but i believe the neighbourhood ones lagi worse over there vs PCNs or HDB areas. lol

Must not forget that he is the oldest i guess.

wonder when these new Lining running shoes will be available in SG. Although i did not run in the 飞电 Elite 6, just by doing some strides in them for a few minutes, my initial thoughts is consistent with Hui's. Too ex for me now tho. Hope running enthusiasts in SG will get to enjoy this soon.

Coz need to finish by 7+ 8+ then go work, be it salaryman or own boss. You long session start at 6am that means you your own boss?

Sometimes for me, i need to clear MC and MHC/Parkway Shenton opens at 9am, report straight to clinic.
(but srsly, i need to clear, coz i never get sick enough to get MC even when kena sick)

Cyclists very normal for their weekday social rides. Meetup 5am 5.30am. Like at my place Maap Lab / Rapha, Specialized at Spottiswoode park. Then 7am start to gather at Maxwell/Amoy for kopi.

her running form is very good.. is this suitable for like 10k running?
how to run like her?

Just saw this......

Masha Dunkel is a german athlete, rather former athlete (she in her 30s already)......pet events 400m and 400m hurdles. So naturally neuromuscular and form training, is all there, even if she is former athlete and does not compete now in the top meets. Coz her current training is more like short distance, plus all the associated strength and conditioning. Helps with running economy for longer distances as well.

Even the yesterday vid of Ni Jia (MY marathoner, SEA games), he guns at 2:30 pace.

Of coz, these kind of training is useful for 3k, 5k, 10k, HM distances esp if you wanna run fast type. Not direct training but my opinion is that esp if you some plateau already then really no harm trying for 6 months and see if this helps.

Bonus : Train your calves/quads/glutes power with strength exercises and plyo (in addition to other muscles as secondary)........see kangaroo jumps damn shiok. The more power your associated tendon elasticity, the better a runner you'd become.
