did u buy any in the end?

Are they authentic ?

I was at the actual retail stores, so they were authentic.


I didn't buy any in the end because I remembered I still have 5 fairly new ASICS and hokas. Lol.

If want to add on other brands like ANta, Li Ning or Xstep, with all the various modesl, I also blur. So I just stick to monitor Qiaodan models, which are the Performance shoes (Feiying PB 3/4, Plaids 1.5) , Trainers ( 强风 Series).

I also keep in touch with Bmai for this model only, because, on sales, go to low rmb469.

Later will cycle 2 * 5.5km to ABC brickworks hawker center to dabao western also..... 6.10pm

Think will do the same thing as i did on Sat 4.30pm, wet my whole top and cycle. heh.... Plus pop some ice cubes into the bottle with just a wee bit of water.

The western food closed on Mondays (and sundays)

Would recommend this Bowl Story to any fella passing by on the Rail Corridor.
Pretty good, nearly local restaurant quality.
I had the Curry Katsu don. They also have Donburi.
5.50 + 20c take away
Portion is normal, big eaters might want to add rice. For the price is quite decent for value.

Think will go dabao this on Thur again. Tomorrow eat Wow Wow West western

Tempting, but KIV first. coz still hoping to catch a VP fly 3 for a good deal before SCSM 2024.

Took it a bit slow this long run, really warm. It was 36 deg C heat index when i started, maybe even higher coz on PCN asphalt around MB areas. And i only took with me 2 x 250ml 100 plus and non ice-slushied and no other active cooling.

 

[WussRedXLi]

One more thing, i realised that above 15/16km runs i had better eat some gummies or something at 5k, 10k, 15k something like that. I cut short the run as i was feeling like no energy like that.......17k i felt it already and slowed quite a bit, slower than 5.00 pace. I wanted to gun for like 18k, 19k and if possible maybe 20. But no point coz of the warm weather also, so cut short.

The 2 x 250ml 100 plus and normal dinner just now i think is insufficient fuel in addition to my glycogen in my liver/muscles.

I super noob in these longer runs. Now i know.


Just finished 100g of somen and 1 can of sardines, dang hungry and just want to whack something into my system.

Is 4:42 your zone 2? Coz by right 17km easy days at zone 2 shouldn't need refuel if your body is metabolic flexible to switch to fat burning zone. Easy days is also to train your fat burning zone ontop of the many base building stuff.. Even >20km also no need refuel .

But if your a gunning for a fast time, then I don't know much about refueling strategy, coz your are burning mix fuel. Perhaps the rush of quick release sugar may help.

I think by HR it's zone 3. Avg 139. Just training for AHM 10k. Today i guess jit's ust too hot and of coz there is cardiac drift. No cooling used like my other faster runs. I was slowing down to past 5 mins around end of 16 and starting of 17 and feeling more and more tired and so better not risk injury.

Also now then i realised i cycled 11km a while before the run to get dinner. And it was on my $178 foldie with more resistance than my other Fnhon one which is significantly better.
edit - And oh yea, not forgetting the 4 * 1.1km home-office jog/walk Z1/Z2 commutes for morning, lunch and evening.

Yeah quick release sugary stuff, my fav is gummy bears. I used to use snicker bars (valueshop) but then i read not as fast due to the fats.

I know a guy that ran 16km at Z2 pace, 4.49 min/km today. He runs the SCMS HM last year and got 1.20.13, 3.47 min/km.

Effectively 1 min/km slower than current HM pace.

Avg HR is 144, but his Z3 is at 162 - 178. About 0.9% of the run was at Z3.

5km is about low 17 min.

Tested my new shoes and adjusted the laces

1.23km: 4.47
2 x 400m w/ 4.30 min rest: 1.24, 1.10

The heat this morning is also ridiculous.

Heat index 35 deg C for Sentosa, 1 deg cooler than last night only.

My room 8am 30.2 deg C actual temperature. (not heat index)

Those fellas super duper conditioned one, both fitness and super heat adapted.

I might have an issue here regarding heat coz seems like i cannot nicely run any stressed runs (fast and/or longer) without my so-called cooling.
