So base on the Yasso predictor, is 3:20 the timing you should train for? I only know watch predictor is way too optimistic, at least for my Coros. Except for 5k and 10k, the HM and FM seems like impossible.

Supposedly means I can do marathon in 3:24. But I don't think I will aim that fast. Aiming for 3:30 at stan chart. As Kuudere mentioned yesterday, maybe can use as more of 6-7km fitness indicator

3k

He said it was a lousy run. But still 8.54.

1 hour can complete 18 km liao

I think if 1 hour can complete 10 km is very good liao

I find alot of predictors are way too optimistic, especially for Singapore weather. The weather has minimal impact for these short duration tests, but it is predicting a long duration event like FM that is heavily impact by weather. If we were racing in Berlin or Valencia, yea, these predictors may be more accurate.

BTW, very curious how SRY academy schedule your workout for SCSM? Has he planned all the workouts all the way till SCSM? Or is it new workouts will be scheduled as you go along base on your progression and condition?

Now I am doing a lot of cross training so I am not sure. Maybe will switch back to his running workouts soon?

If want long cardio, best to stick to cycling, if you are talking about soul sucking., esp with the weather here. Stick on a bluetthooth speaker, every day 2hr (even 3hrs possible) zone 2 also can (maybe 1 day off day, also best to have at least 7 hours of quality sleep). (but need halfway break to re-fuel, eg mcdonald's softee is good, now no more Hershey's liao)
You can imagine the amount of base you can build. Even if you dont get competitively fast, you'd still get pretty fast. Definitely significantly faster than those weekend warriors even 1 to 2 decades younger than you on better bikes.

Moi still very young, 2 decade younger will be pri sch age liaos

Dont want to invest in a bike ah, no space put at home. And cycle long my butt pain

Indeed bicycle would be more costly technical and got quite the learning curve.
And even then best to get something that a local bike shop is within 2km so that you can bring it there easily/fast in case need any quick repair / component changes.

All these race time predictors are not accurate for SG conditions one. For marathon you need to add chao chao 20 mins or so, 10mins for a half and 5 mins for a 10k for sg race times.

Yasso 800 as a predictor of marathon timings has several caveats to it one: 1) It assumes you will clock the long runs needed for a marathon up to the mid 30s km per run & 2) Its for ang mo countries weather.

I did 30 mins slower than the predicted on Coros. LOL. But still got progress from the previous year.

That's why i said chao chao 20 mins liao. The longer the race distance, the more inaccurate such calculator becomes one.

Last night met my neighbour, she told me she ever ran HM n FM before and I asked her how is it. She told me sure can complete within the time given.

She said she walked n ran and for the HM, she only ran 5 n 8K outside before going for the race.

I asked her no need to run 21.1K meh before the actual race, she told me on that day the moral is very high because a lot of people running together so as long as you run n fast walk should have no problem.

By the way she was 30 plus when taking part.

She told me to go overseas to run n also try the sundown as it's an overnight race which is more comfortable.

@Jeremy1
Walk run walk run sure can one.

Then follow chiobu whenever there is one ahead, give you motivation.

If still need push, look forward to XMMs around the finishing line massage area.

In the few months leading to my FM in Phuket I also never ran 21k in Singapore leh. That’s why I took it easy during the FM.

Yesterday I ran very long in Zone 4, but surprisingly legs did not feel sore at all. Let's see if my easy and very easy pace improve in the next cycle.
