HM is 21.1Km ?

But extra 100m is nothing

Nothing to the elite runners. For slow porky like me, 100m can means an extra 2minutes to my time. LOL

Just want to share that i was dumbfounded today when i visited Queensway Shopping Centre.
Those oldies like me know the hey days of that place.
I was there for curry chicken and was checking out some shoes.

I went into 3 shops and none of them provided me accurate information about the shoes they are selling. To be fair, nowadays there are so many models of a shoe that no one will know everything but these bad experiences will ensure that i will never ask those shop assistants for information anymore.

Shop 1 - Ask to try Asics novablast 4 but the lady came back with Kayano 30, both white but obviously different models.

novablast 4

Kayano30

Shop 2 - Asked whether there is 'wide' version for Mach 6, the shopkeeper say, "this one is for racing, so dont have wide version". This one is classic smoke screen. in the first place this isnt even a racer.

Shop 3 - Has Mach 6 but guy told me the blue one is Wide and the orange was normal width. After checking, the one he said was actually normal width as well. The Wide one is actually a lighter blue in color.

Not all staffs are that educated and doubt they run too.

I think running lab store the staff is more knowledgeable but then sure they are some not much knowledge.

100m can just walked a bit faster can liao.

21km is the killer

FM is 42.195km.. what so you think will HM be? And why 10km distance is not called a QM. The exact number matters in naming them HM.

These days even 10km is called "mini-marathon" liao

Good weather but still sweat like hell

Coz the cloud cover today is a deception. The temperature is still 31-32 degrees loh.

 

[Jeremy1]

Usually that whats cut off time mean. Complete within the time, you get all the entitlements and your timing is legit.

10km, I think already half dead liao

21km, don't know will faint or not

I jog n walk

Run, walk, run method is a legit training scheme that actually works for some people. Some runners got ther pb that way. The walk recovery helps them to travel the distance with lesser pain. I didn't research into it, so not familiar how to train this way, but you can google Jeff galloway, coach and ex-olympian.

You are using Garmin 965 right? Under Garmin Coach plan, Jeff Galloway is one of the coaches. Maybe if you try the plan under Garmin coach (JEff Galloway), the run, walk run method might be incorporated in the training plan.

There's one chap wearing spec at Running Labs Novena Square quite knowledgeable as you can see he was a runner and did participate in marathon before.
