you all run so long distance.
mine is nothing compared

I guess just try to find ways to enjoy it and make it a hobby, naturally the results would come as you'd wanna do more and more of it, and coz you wanna improve.
You might not get near to national records or what those youtubers can achieve, but still you still could be faster than many other recreational level folks.

If you don't really enjoy it, it becomes a chore. You follow simi training plans and even then it might not work coz you might not finish it or something happens coz you are not in tune with it and kena injured etc.

Once it becomes a hobby and enjoy it, you will become dedicated to it. You'd find that things like discipline and consistency falls into place naturally.

Mental burn out might not even happen with sustained high volumes. At least for me there is no off-season, i just continue to train. No issue at all......even with crazy hours.

The only issue i am slightly worried about is injuries, but seems not to happen with me.
Another thing i am keeping a tab on is "addiction", which leads to overtraining and unhealthy habits.

To be fair I think I am an exception so can’t really speak for all the bui bui. I 1.73m and 87kg now so that’s 29 bmi

Really impressive for your BMI.

Your high BMI is the low fat or muscular type ?

High fat and average skeletal muscle. I was already quite fat but after marriage and having kid, although still exercising, I don’t bother with diet. Hence continuing to gain weight haha.

Diet n Exercise must worked together in order to lose fat.

sadly i run until i know where is 2.5km liao lol

I tried trying a new route and no look at my watch, end up i stop even earlier.

Last time when I was bui bui training to avoid RT, I ran the fastest 2.5k I could.

Then jog another 500m to recover from all the panting. There that's 3k.

Experts here, any recommendation for a sub $100 jogging shoes with good/thick cushioning?

as age catches on, knees start to feel painful while jogging, Currently on NB Arishi FreshFoam.

slow casual jogger here who runs about 7Km 2 times per week.

Today run

I never tried running so long outside, nearly fainted if not taking for some toilet and water break. Weather is still okay but got a bit of sun

My first 10K run outside from Bukit Batok to Orchard Tanglin Mall. Really taxing

1080 V13 is very good but it's out of your budget so maybe can take a look at it's brother, 880.

You can go to Queensway level 3, there's one warehouse always had sales offer and can asked for the staff recommendations.

If you have knee pain, you should read up on minimalist running. It was a popular fad about 10 years ago. ONe such book is 'Born to Run'. It's a sort of biography of the author's journey to discover barefoot running. Caveat is in the beginning, this running will put a big strain on your calves and Archille's tendon, so start with low mileages on stadium track.
