Yes, you jog slowly till the point where you can breathe comfortably.

If stamina is no issue, it's all about endurance n determination liao.

There are reasons why Income Eco Run is cheap. There's no medal, no finishing Tees, optional event singlet (pay extra).
So in term of physical objects entitlements, no difference for finisher and non finisher.
Difference is finisher has e-cert and race timing.
This is really a sign up for race atmosphere and for a minority group who actually wants to support the environment. LOL.

Why not just stay at 10km for the time being.
I joined 10 km races for about 2 years before deciding to upgrade to HM.

Yes will definitely stick at 10km....until I feel comfortable first.
But when I see my age, hmmm...

Agreed. For health purposes, it is better to add some higher intensity interval work to a 10km slow and easy run, than dragging a slow run to 20km. It is also more efficient in training the body to hit HFM too.

Yes not young liao....sob sob..that's why I fo slow koh..I also share knee cap gv way too.

well you can do intervals with slightly faster zone 3, rather than zone 4 or 5 to reap similar benefits.

Also doing resistance training to improve knee stability is very impt. ... squats etc
