jogging and motivation thread

I had the same feel in my early morning run yesterday. Felt like in AC room when there some gentle breeze, temp at 25degC as per coros apps.
How’s weather over in SG this morning? Over here heavy rain and thunderstorm this morning. No chance for any runs.

These few days are shiok if you don't mind the wet weather. Some thunderstorm in the afternoon, but cleared up by evening with light drizzle. By the time I finished my run, rain already stopped. Grateful for such weather.

I do the walk up after office while omy home...
Saturday will definitely put on my jogging attire n see how.
Cos my pants, polo collar tee , bags already add in more weight..I suppose.
I hv 2 vertical activities this Aug.

Another one is 10km run organize by homesg. Not sure want yo join or not...

Pants is actually fine if you go for those trail walk/run because usually a lot of mosquitoes and dense bushes. Apart from that, prefer to go with shorts.

Homesg, I am thinking of joining that too but need to decide by end of this month since early bird will close. Not too sure what the promo code is.

Today my watch going to kill me

If you are trying for 1-hour 10km, then it's a good workout but otherwise, it's too fast.

funny thing is i have never hit sub-9 2.4km.
my best timing was 9:44 during my NS days.

hmm not sure if i can achieve that now at this age. old liao.

Take ur time, no rush. It's a long journey.

@Ender boss can i know what the weather condition will be like for marathons here in Singapore.
will it be roughly the same as yesterday night? or slightly warmer if the start time is around 6am?

my understanding is that running routes for marathons in Singapore are almost always at Marina Barrage.
how is the route condition like? up or down slope or mostly flat?

6am is a very BAD starting time for marathon in SG. When I was still racing in Stand Chart, the marathon flag off time was 5.30am and by 7.30am, it was quite terok liao (bear in mind this was 20 yrs ago when climate change effects weren't like now yet). I still remember Runner's World magazine actually sent a team to race in the 2005 Stand Chart marathon and pretty much the whole team got wiped out (DNF) due to the heat. The next issue had a full 2 page article about how hellish the Singapore marathon was

5 minutes pace for 1 hour run outdoor is too fast for me

2k = 5.19.07

2.40 pace

Convert to 2.4 same pace would be 6.24 mins.

20240712 25degC xtep 160x5.0
10.04km @ 6'13" av
10.27km @ 7'06" av
checked the weather forecast today and heavy rain will start around 7.30am, so set my alarm at 4.15am and started running at 5am
today's run is very smooth on both legs until last part due to fall in stamina. Can see from the pace in the timing below.
coros app indicated my VO2max dropped to 38 today

Your Coros watch blind is it. 20km at 6:39/km is so awesome already

Have been very inactive since covid. Also gonna try long walks and start a little cardio. Used to do runs,strength training and HIIT but it's been tough since having kids.

Hang around here, can do with kids. Good thing to start would be cycling. The kids would luuurrve it one.
