is this suitable for home?what do you think for sg hdb context?

Just go fitness corner in your area before your cycling/running sessions to do. Infra all there already.

If you have trained for over 2 years consistently, and also i believe you are relatively young, you should be able to reach a level that you can start to aura farm at the fitness corner and with a physique that others want to take a second look. This additional bonus quite addictive one.

For the rings, just get on TB, i shared b4 with sales69. Around 20+ dollars only. Hook it to the monkey bar station or pull up bars station. Get the 32mm thicker dia ver

Only slight difference is that the video some exercises like pull up can do neutral grip. Sometimes, for some reasons, pull ups (pronated grip) might induce some pain over time and neutral grip might seem to be better. But usually supinated grip (chin ups) shd generally be ok enough. Possible problem areas are wrists, elbows, scapula/shoulder.

And yes, esp for my (Weighted) dips, i can sometimes next-day feel a bit of stress on my wrists but as of today i am still not injured. Just load progressively, the tendons need time to strengthen. Same concept in running and injuries.
My scapula and elbows are fine with dips tho. I read that some folks got issues with scapula due to what...stability issues when doing, esp when the dip depth is deep ie elbows bend lower than 90 deg. But basically i just do until 90 or mostly not that deep, maybe 70-80 deg is fine.

If you don't mind drilling onto wall.

I'm using the door straight bar type. Surprised haven't fall off after so many years.

Bought a new bar but also never bother to replace.

Nedao fansee spotted.

But nowadays for us here, need to change default addr to CN, then checkout that time change back to SG addr. All these i prefer direct ship, so no troubles fuss free. Last time no need.

thanks for sharing. next time i can use this approach to buy stuffs for my siblings and send directly to their home address. Half of my luggage for this trip is filled with their things

Wah that means this method still not well known here in SG with buyers here.
But for some small number of items (eg Qiaodan shoes), it would not work as the error is different. But majority shd work.

Think just stick to 40-45cm is fine, focus on the movement quality, ie and speed and explosiveness conditioning, training the stretch shortening cycle, neuromuscular training etc. Tendon stiffness training shd be sufficient also.

Maybe maciam like strides, and to a certain extent Sprint Interval Training. So i think the goal is not focussed on volume .... Those are not intervals. Though of coz the studies do 60 reps total....but i am happy with slightly less like 30-40. Also not on toughness. As long as have that strides training kinda mindset, we shd be fine.

For next 2 months, i probably will stick to that. I can increase the difficulty if I wanted to easily.

I was talking to a few colleagues who were ex sprinters. Shorter distances apparently easier to get injured.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3578639/

Proven to be correct, assuming both sprinters and long distance/marathoners train the same amount of hours, sprinters/middle distance have 2x of the injury risk of long distance/marathoners.

I suspect is triple whammy.

I changed insoles on new shoes, then did not insert properly. (can feel a bump instead of flat)

Then that day feeling tired still die die wanna run 1k intervals. End up run slower than usual and can feel gait is off.

Next day jitao plantar pain.

Avoid wet/uneven running surfaces especially if you do hard runs, since it will increase the risk of plantar fasciitis.

Also, helps to take a short nap for recovery before hard runs if you run in the evening. Always helps me to hit the pace.

The camera shift to the 2nd place guy celebrating first place for 2 minutes, meanwhile the actual winner was humble and quietly walked away haha

Will we see a sub 2:10 FM from a ASEAN country soon?

Based on his recent HM times, I think Robi is capable of running sub 2.13 marathon, ~2.12. Unless his HM improves to <= 1.02, it will be hard for him to run under 2.10 marathon. But I foresee him doing more HM pace speed work to gun for 1.02 HM or faster in future.

Kieran Tuntivate has much better potential for marathon. His debut HM is slightly faster than Robi. His 10k pace is also signficantly faster. If he sets his mind to run marathon, should be able to run sub 2:10.



Oh yeah, came across this video: Wings Cross Country Bedok Reservoir 5km, can't playback but can access if click the link

1st place Gurkha: 15.37 2nd place: NUS runner (160k/week guy) 15.57

Hengz, i run 4 times during day time. And then also cycle at night
Fri = 5 times actually
And not forgetting the various strength/plyo workouts in office or at home.
Saturday/Sunday morning many hours out there too.
Hopefully is enough.
