Yes first mid term goal achieved and have build up a dependable base to do 10k in 60min whenever I want. Next target is 120min for HM. As you suggested, maybe I should divert my attention away from HM distance and focus on 10k or shorter distances, build up the speed aspect, especially since I have overcome the mental and physical challenge of completing HM without stop.
Yeah rather low body fat %, but just saying for those who wants to lose weight via exercise, i can confirm that it is possible ultimately. Just that it's not the top few choices.
20-25hrs a week (even 10-15hrs a week is good), extremely few pax can do it due to work/family commitments ........but it's technically possible as i have found out if you wanna make it into a hobby so it wouldnt be so taxing.
My weight / body fat % dropped when started walking and then running, and then further dropped when started cycling. But it's definitely rather slow.
I used to run to get lunch/dinner during weekends, and now i cycle even farther. In fact gonna go get something soon at 4pm liao, another 8-9km. Then later dinner another 11km. This morning 6am out 9.30am back. hehe...... really no life one.
Another thing is that recovery is rather compromised and it's not really optimally healthy, but what to do....... Just hope for the best and think that at least it's still comparatively better than overweight/obese and still binging on sugary/fried/bbq/processed food in hawker centres / shopping malls and with a sedentary lifestyle i guess. LEsser of the 2 evils. *shrugs*
Also, hope i don't screw up my knees or something.
Lose weight by cycling, confirm can and no need that many hours
Cannot run everyday one. Young people can run 6 days 1 week. Old men like us better 5 days or less a week.Leg tiring if daily running
Good Evening Elite Runners, 5.5Km run completed

Actually wanted to go stadium but close for Buddhism Ceremony
Distance matter. Actually what you should look at is training load(TL). Factors affecting TL are intensity and duration , you garmin will calculate the TL for that run. After some months, by now your Garmin should have a range of TL that is recommended to fall within a week so as not to overload yourself. If you want to play safe, you keep the weekly TL within the zone. You can run everyday if your cumulative TL for the week is very low.
take it slow and easy. Listen to your body, if cannot run, just walk or brisk walk. Run only if you feel comfortable and slow down if you feel strenous. Its all about conditioning.
Interestingly enough, the Japanese have come up with an intermittent walk training for old folks where they alternate between fast and slow walking. Better results in terms of metabolic markers such as blood pressure compared to standard 10000 step walking.
