hoseh liao, one more week to marathon. I got a bruise foot. the mid section of the foot, facing outwards, where that little bump is, its tender and a little swollen. Been resting and taking anti-inflammatory pills. Let's see how this rolls.....no runs for this final week . Current week 45km, final 5km light run was a tryout with the bruise foot, felt okay, not limping or anything. maybe GG this time. wah lau eh....$@#$@#

run for 3 years nothing happen, one week before exam, God decides that life is too easy for me.

What happened to cause bruising, you fell or something?

just finished watching Boon's video on Ride in Style
initial reaction, wah their price ex. But upon knowing their service provide, for convenience quite good.
highly informative video.
thx for sharing

I think on TB, it is 1.34k sgd, but also need to add GST, sea shipping, TB service fee. End up also same price, if not possibly slightly over 1.5k sgd.

The Forerunner 570 is so bad at tracking HR in the pool.

As I am moving more into swimming now, I decided to buy the HRM 600 chest strap. It is a good upgrade from the older models I had.

Which camp are you in?

Unfortunately, i also believe while this is true......there are higher risks to this approach, and some people are just more capable and successful in navigating around this while others cannot make it with this approach.

Is it due to "talent" or what.....i dont know and can't explain.

I don't think any watches can track HR properly at the pool tbh

Just take it easy for this week, hope the swelling subsides. The mileage is alr clocked in, just don't start out too fast on race day, take it 1km at a time

My old forerunner 265 was recording better trend.

But not sure if HR were accurate.

Dynafish Xiaonian SG retail price increased to $165 probably due to fluctuation in exchange rate. The shoes are good but not $165 good lol........

Interesting, explosive overhead press @ fitness corner at the log station, i never train till failure at all for past few months (coz not my main area of training). Basically it's just one more way to pass time a bit while training for pull ups, dips and my single leg calf raises and drop jumps nearby benches. But of coz, this will affect dips, so i most of the time would finish my dips first then play OHP.

Despite this, my explosive overhead press reps now increased to 12 reps, managed to hit that just now. For concentric, lower it down slowly, 2 seconds is good. As in, press up explosively that is sufficient to make the log leave the palms momentarily. Of coz there are 3 log sizes, so if the heaviest log you cannot do explosively, then use the middle one, or even the lightest one.

ps. Most folks i see do this bilaterally. Try to do it unilateraly, if you do not have sufficient strength yet, use the middle or lightest logs.
But of coz, if it's those new type in which you sit down on it and you press upwards and you lift your own weight as resistance, , then a bit LLST coz i think if you use 1 hand it's not gonna be easy. Also i think with this machine, the mechanics are a bit different.

You can't pull the carrot from the ground to check if it's growing. You have to believe in the process.

Came across this white/black and black/red color variant Lining Feidan 6E 百亿补贴 listing on PDD and was advertised as official product without 涂码去片.

I couldn’t find any other info about this 2 colorway elsewhere. The chat agent said it was a 专供款, which I supposed it’s exclusive for PDD sales channel? Is it common for Lining to have 专供款?

I posted about the new colorways before. 专供款 just means exclusively for sale online or offline, not necessarily limited to PDD only. Seeing the seller is LiNing official then it's legit.

Came across this.
Interesting indeed.

I actually had some reservations........ initially i didnt wanna post and share that kinda "BS broscience" type of info, lest it stirs some debate.

But apparently it is quite possible.
