Is Google earth measurement accurate?
Just now went for a short stroll in the park, and I measured the distance as 5.7km.
However my watch shows 5.09km without GPS.

 

[roflolmao]

that is my long term target as well. I thought i will be closer to this pace when i reached 55-56min for 10km last Nov and was consistently running below 60min before the heat arrives. Now I can hardly hit within 60min for 10km

jia you.... honestly not that difficult i feel and it's very achievable?

my ultimate aim is to run 10km below 40mins and then can start competing in events like hyrox without losing face haha

If watch has no GPS how they measure one then? For GPS sensors and antenna systems, there is also various degrees of accuracy, also dependent on the environment.

Hyrox don't even need to run that long. lol

if i am younger, probably so. Living on this earth half a century and been living sedentary lifestyle for more than half my time on earth, don't think it's very achievable, at least for now. I will be very happy if i can reach 45min for 10km. Now got to slowly change running plans, eg. more intervals, more cardio and more strength training without sacrificing mileage.

Really *****, nearly hit the pedestrian crossing.

You have to lose face to improve though. That can only be done by racing a lot.

And of course, be mentally strong about the process. Treat those events as a way to improve yourself, figure out how you can improve and do better next time.

For me, I didn't run a satisfactory 10k time during my Skechers Run, a lot of crowd and route conditions weren't the best. Learnt from the experience and did my own 10k run outside, ran a lot faster by pacing myself better and selecting a route that is easier to execute.

Hyrox don't even need to run that long. lol

The 10km fitness definitely translates the endurance over for crossfit. I can do all this in 26 mins.

Upper body

Push ups (25x)
Bicep curl 5kg (15x)
Lateral raise 3kg (15x)

Core

Sit ups (25x)
Leg raise (25x)
Planks (1 min 10s)

Legs

Lunges (25x)
Bridges (1 min 10 sec)
Indoor Zanfit cycling at highest resistance (8) (11 min)

The only issue is: how to get sub-40 min 10k juggling both running and gym, when most people already struggling to achieve sub-40 min 10k with running as main.

8km + the exercises, around 10+km bah

I want to do men's open and get top 3, need to train for years though haha

Try find a route like ECP or Bedok Park. Multiple fitness corners along the way.

Run and hit every fitness corner along the way. Pulls, dips, hanging leg raises. Try variations for increased difficulty.

Last time when I did 15~21km, could hit up to 8 fitness corners. Damn shagged but good training.

Don't know why put myself through that. Not training for events like Spartan also. Abit siao siao.

Doing training that isn't really specific is always nice. The 26 minute thing I do, I am not trying to complete all those workouts quickly. It's just a by-product of my endurance, to just keep persevering.

I do increase the difficulty over time even though it's not specific.

As for running, I think if you main 10km, good to run all-out 15km. Because the 15km times will give an idea of 10km fitness, without the pressure since 10km is the main goal.

Can do those monthly or every 2 months. Naturally, if the 15km times improve, 10km times will definitely improve. Even better is that, while running the 15km, you break your 10k PB. Happened to me when I did my 16km run pacing with another fast runner.

Jia you! I think definitely need to do a lot of cross training besides just running. Maybe do circuits like @Kuudere on top of the runs

How does your watch measure distances without GPS? Counting steps then assuming stride length is 1m? If base on stride length X steps, it will be very inaccurate.

If compare accuracy. Usually measure on a map is more accurate if you can trace the route accurately compare to GPS. GPS has too many variables, e,g surrounding, cloudy, atmosphere pollution, antenna design, dual band.

Racewalking 1:18:455
Pace 3.57 min/km

All those towels around the necks are ice water cold.
Cozat same pace, you expend more energy than running.




Whole event

An elite Australian swimming coach says Chinese star Pan Zhanle's astonishing 100m freestyle world record time is not humanly possible, insisting that 'if it seems too good to be true, it probably is'.

'Listen, I'm just going to be honest, I am angry at that swim,' Hawke posted on his Instagram account after the race.

'Look I'm angry for a number of reasons. Look my friends are the fastest swimmers in history from Rowdy Gaines to Alex Popov to Gary Hall Jr, Anthony Irvin and all the way up to King Kyle Chalmers. I know these people intimately, I've studied them for 30 years
