It's a unique run. one of those rare chance you can run around the big field inside changi prison.
My HR redline all the way..LOL Actually 10km race is suppose to run at Threshold HR, which is very close to zone 5, but not there yet. If your Threshold HR is high, it is a good thing.Don't know why today my hr higher than usual. At one point, hit 162 red alert n I had to slow down
Bro, last say of Aug on Saturday.That guy is young, runs quite smoothly. I only remembered the 3rd or 4th guy struggling a lot. Probably ran at 5k pace for the first segment and struggling afterwards.
2nd guy was just encouraging other runners, found that quite nice.
I got the banana, but didn't end up going for hotdog/donut. I got my bag near the banana place and just took one banana and left afterwards
I am planning to go for the pocari sweat run, but it's on last day of August
Makes sense for Garmin Run to start at that time. It's a good prep leading into SCMS.
For the HM, you've to run slower than what you are running today. Need to build up your long runs to 16km or more, if you want to run HM.
October got Garmin Run

This one I need a lot more endurance as I am going for HM.
Just check it's sold out liao.
Omg, it's 5 am
Yes, no paper cups, have to drink from the bottle and they say don’t touch the bottle.
Bro you super fast.Overall an average race. Got race atmosphere. Got those around me cheong quite fast. Kenna affected for the 1km and ran 4:39, my plan pace was 4:50-55, and cheong at the last km if there is still reserve. By 2 km onwards, slowed to around 4:50 -4:55. Performed as planned. my 10km is about there plus minus, not far off for along time.
Mine gun time 1.29.45Overall an average race. Got race atmosphere. Got those around me cheong quite fast.

Yes bro, toward’s the finishing line and cross s the ridge, it becomes bottleneck with all the 4km runners.

Have to start doing longer long runs in the morningNo if liao, already registered for coming Garmim n SCMS HM liao
I ended with 9.59km, cut as many corners as possible. I mess up my u-turn a bit, so might have added a bit of distance.The feel from most is this time distance is short. Not as bad as last year, that one literally on the spot you now can't be 10km. This year is the feel is some what short, my watch show 9.52km.
Back to do route mapping to boost confidence for our gut feel. Indeed it is short. my guesss, actual distance, if you run in the middle all the way would be 9.65km.

Yeah the cups were too small. The marshalls at the end were also not very good at directing.
Last cup stand was bad, I finished my cup and passed the empty cup to the lady who isn't holding anything, she asked me to throw the cup at the dustbin.
threshold pace is fine if you're running >1 hr. It's a race after all, so it's normal to run at higher HR.According to my Garmin Watch
Easy Pace for me becomes Threshold Pace
Normally, most of my pace is at aerobic and easy but surprisingly. And I am not running at fast pace.
I did have a 1.5Km warm up run to MRT before that.
Have to start doing longer long runs in the morning
My Venu SQ2 lousy one. No option for threshold HR zoning only can use max HR %. Got consider Coros before but dunno if better.
