Ender can still do FHM at 56. So no scared. haha

I envy @Ender ..... hope one day I can do it...but usually HM all young young runners

Those older runners, see their physics already my leg turn jelly.

He is different because he had been running for years liao.

But if only temperature drop by 10 degrees will definitely encourage more runners

Bro, recently the hot weather really very hard to jog...

 

[Ender]

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

If concern is more on health and longevity, like our in house doc @binbinpon said, prioritize short session of high intensity interval over long distance endurance. The data already shows, VO2Max as the metrics has a very high if not the most inverse correlation to all cause mortality. Even higher than those who smokes vs non smoker.
10km is a good distance for endurance + intensity (improve timing) to train for general health.

 

[Ender]

I heard people say once you hit 55 and above, better forget about what HM or 10km...
Heard already jin sad.

You mean you heard the BBFA of EDWM.. Their expert opinion is my knee cap also gone liao.

 

[Jeremy1]

Bro you born 68.

Yes.

Older than both of you by 1 year

 

[Jeremy1]

Yes, it's very sweaty

I also run until sore throat liao

I actually want to just focus on 10km and HM for long term. These distances are more 'fun' to me. But the OCD in me that I have to achieve my sub 4 FM goal before I can retire from FM. If the goal is elusive, it seems, I can't retire from there until I am too old.

 

[Jeremy1]

Wow, I got 2 HMs coming

Should be very sore after that

Well I don't usually do HM too.... once awhile for the fun of it.

Doing a relaxing 12 km in 1hr is usual routine. No need too much running ... lol

 

[wrexel]

I try to practise slowly...to increase...buy HM has time limit right? Must finish by 4 hr

What's your walking speed? You can walk 21km in less than 4h if your pace is around 11:25 min/km

 

[Ender]

NB running club is bringing a Taiwan botak coach for a workout and learning session. Register interest link below. Got easy run , 8km and 13km on different day. I think it's a great opportunity to meet fellow runners and learnt tips. I would like to go, but busy this weekend.

That's why it's not really difficult.

You have 4 hours to complete unlike the FM given only 6 hours ? Why not 8 hours

Your ang moh very chim... izit mean smokers with higher VO2max is better than non smokers with lower VO2max?

 

[Ender]

I watched some of Peter Attia's podcast. He used Hazard ratio. So those with high Vo2max vs those with low VO2Max, the likelihood of the low VO2max to dies is 8 times in the next 10 years (not too sure on the exact year).
While Smoker vs non smoker hazard ratio is alot lower. I can't recall the exact number, think is around 3 or 4.

But if you conflate the two data sets like what you said, smokers with high Vo2max vs non smokers with low Vo2max, my brain cannot compute.

Age is just a number bro
