For me, I eat the same as you after runs usually for dinner (don't bother much). Only care more during breakfast/lunch before the run.

Still managed to get six packs lol

I only eat 1 meal per day as I wake up quite late.

Before training, I usually don't eat or maybe just a very light one.

10km typical energy expenditure is between 500-600 kcals across a weight of 60-90kg. We measured alot of these in the labs liao thru the metabolic cart (i.e. for VO2max test). 1 liter of oxygen consumed burns about 3.5kcals.

I don't know all this stuff

Just eat enough to replenish your energy expenditure so don't lose too much weight.

Anyways, going to run to bukit gombak stadium now and see if the stadium is open. If not open, reroute into another place. Weather feels nice now

Yeah I average about 570 kcal for a 9km run, around that weight range.

Nothing with the "swoosh" logo is cheap for in season stuff. The trick is to go to their warehouse outlets like IMM & get previous season's shoes. The discounts can be HUGE.

If your single-run distance and weekly mileage are not high, there's no need to buy the high-end shoes leh.

High End shoes if you are Elite Runner and wanted to clock your PB.

Or if too much $$$ liao

Yah, high end shoes are the nice icing on the cake. But for the nice icing to work, you need a good cake (fitness and training) to begin with. The wisdom of @zeroX26 taught to me over a decade ago.

I wanted to get the neon green / blue AF3 but it was sold out so fast. Finally came back liao. But i bet it would be out of size pretty soon.
This Sat maybe go down to the Orchard flagship store to wear and check it out.

Nothing much to buy for cycling, and some stuff are so expensive compared to running.
Dont wanna sound like a price gatekeeper but then some of them cyclists spend like crazy one.
Penis cycling top like supershoes already. Only the top, no bottom.

Walking / cycling

Just completed my 10km slow jog

Take it easy if jogging after 9am or before 6pm.

Was cycling at 11am this morning on the rail corridor to get lunch, had to douse my cycling jersey fully with water. This was cycling, more wind speed relative to effort / energy expenditure.

Even then, had the feeling of "headache", one of the heat symptoms.

Last Sat i tried at 4.30pm, wierd thing that one felt better. Only difference is that time i doused with iced water on the way there. Came back was just water from the toilet taps.
