jogging and motivation thread

I think having the base probably helps to make the transition to running easier as compared to people with no experience in either running or other sports. Ultimately, though I think perseverance and consistency is key (like that guy 90km / week compared to my 50-65)

This guy managed to run 1.27 HM off 47km avg. weeks. Can see his improvement in his training pace as he progresses through the weeks.

I thought runner need more carbohydrate than protein intake ?

Protein is for seniors, where sarcopenia is more severe. Not just protein, have to do muscle strengthening exercise so the protein intake will be used for building up muscle. They say 30 years start losing muscle if don't use it, but worst as one age.

Also protein are useful for recovery after a hard workout as they are use for building back the muscle loss during execrise.

Runners for long distance need calories, carb is fast energy conversion, so it is useful for runners. But personally I think if you have trained in zone 2 for a long period of time and very consistent and frequent, you are also training your body to be metabolic flexible and hence can switch mode to fat burning faster. I used to train LSD without gels up to 32km, don't feel the need refuel.

For older runners, your tissue repair / recovery isn't that good anymore plus there's age-related muscle wasting too.

Later will rain in the late afternoon (it's actually still somewhat cool right now at noon time). Potentially can test timing tonight.

DNF the 5k time trial. Too warm (coz didnt really rain in the late afternoon), even though it wasn't a warm day.
Felt that the HR a bit too high also. Cut back to a tempo run and then chill cafe ride around. Next time......still lots of time.

Also met a group of 3 cyclists who insisted on taking up the whole cycling lane riding 3 abreast and also wearing black and without lights and dark clothings. !@#$@!# Nearly crashed into them as i had to brake and veered onto the pedestrian lane. I u-turned and chased for a while before decided to chillax, i think they "felt it". Nearly wanted to F them upside down.

For runners, worst come to worst over take from the grass patch. Not that we like to, in fact I hate to, but bo pian, don't want to spoil the rhythm of the cadence.

I guess when running it still should be relatively safe to do that at lower speeds. But nowadays the grass area are going to be damp and slippery.

You remember i posted last year a group of walkers suddenly jumped onto my lane on the rail corridor and I took to the grass on my left side on the bicycle. My GPS just showed 11.x kmh, ie 5.00 pace. I just lost traction when i tried to to maneuveur to the right and i buanged + got road rash lascerations that caused me to have 8 days MC.
That was in late Oct, in fact now nearly 6 months later, the tissues beneathe the scar still feels a bit itchy at times. Very very dififcult to heal, the wound kept "re-opening" when you accidently knock onto it due to daily activities and movements.
