Did you run with any incline % during treadmill runs? I realized that the treadmill at my usual gym has lower distance (~9.3km) when I ran 10km distance at my clock with ~1% incline, but the distance is near 10km when I set incline to ~3%. Might be related to stride length but I'm no expert on this, or the treadmill I'm running has uncalibrated belt lol.

I usually run with 2%, to get an accurate representation of normal run route. But I guess 3% might also be good.

Nobody ran this yesterday/today ah.

I got stuck in the horde when heading back. Super many walkers.

Theme run usually expensive and full of walkers. Don't really have race atmosphere. But got carnival atmosphere for those into fun run.

Actually can try the Taobao aero cycling socks. I run in them for the brick sessions....... however i only tried them for 10k total in 2 legs, definitely no HM and much less FM.


For cycling i use flat cycling shoes and i am not sure how that vs running, but then i have been in them for 6-7hrs straight no issue. And my cycling shoes ultra low end TB type.

They are just a bit semi compressive. Not sure if you cut them liao how it holds up, or maybe cut and ask you wife/mother to sew.

The top part (aero trip strips) is confirm the typical 12-20 elastine and 80-88% polyester material, very fine microfibre type. The below not too sure but confirm it dries damn fast, much faster than other socks.
edit - compare with my decathlon running socks that i used to use, dries faster than that.

Thickness i feel is ok, not too thick and not too thin.

I am still looking for my ideal socks. One that doesn't soak up too much sweat and becomes heavy, but not too thin till I can feel my skin rubbing the synthetic upper material. Maybe can try this for the 11.11 sales for the fast dry feature. Got ankle height version?

Unfortunately don't have. It's basically spandex material for the calf part, below feet part is prob got nylon. Rather smooth knitting. Medium thickness.

Some others for reference.

Let me release my anger here

I had my best run so far in my life. Thought it would be great day..

Alas.. got one ahbeng rode those e-bike with headlight brighter than car speeding in PCN (Pang Sua). Full of adrenaline. I shouted at him and f*ck him. He passed and realized he turned back (because of his bright headlight). I was in figthing mode and walked back to him started to call him to come and he just laughed and turned back away. Called him coward but he didnt come back

F*ck man.. my heart rate shooted up to 180. I dont understand youngster these days. PCN sometimes got elderly got kids. Still riding so fast

What would you if you were me?
Is it worth to report to police so that they can increase Patrol in the area? I was running around 8-9pm btw

Btw this is not the first time. Last week also got youngster riding mtb coming out fast from stairs from kranji area to PCN at high speed. F*ck him up and he just cycled away

Warned here before. SGRV footage MBS Bay East Garden also have. I meet them around 10% of the time either late at night or very early morning if i ever ride there.....but usually is slow. I seen them fastest around 50kmh?

PCNs would be safe if the women, kids, men stick to the correct lanes. End up cyclists kena....but then if you are lit up ok shd be fine. Of coz if one of them goons use front red lights like you'd know sure got one every now and then of coz then halleluja.


Usually those who cycle as well are more alert and aware of the consequences.

One of runners peeve, heavy bicycle and PMD traffic. Sometime I get away from this by running to Pasir Ris, park or Bedok Reservoir where there are alot less bicycle.

My usual training ground, Sengkang and Punggol Waterway PCN have just too many youngster bikers for comfort.

 

[fantasyrulz]

some new route jogging from tampines all the way to pasir ris park
was kinda difficult as got bridge to run up and roads to cross etc

but was fun to know i could run to pasir ris but recently weather really gloomy

would like to see from tampines can jog to any other place

 

[dicxz80]

I am not violent person by nature i try not to get into trouble, but i was high on adrenaline. Anything can happen. As long as 1 on 1

I was just wondering what will happen if i get into fight and if i lose, let it be, if i win i will drag this ah beng to nearest police station

Any one from law enforcement here? Can tell me whether I will be charged?

Have you tried the new kranji pcn which is on the other side of pang sua PCN? Does the end lead to kranji reservoir dead end?

 

[dicxz80]

Iam not aware of new Kranji PCN

@Jeremy1

he also did a marathon one

Why they Sheares bridge climb they used T100 bike leg footage.

Looks like the radio DJ is doing the FM too. He will show you the runners POV of the 10km sheares bridge. Personally I think this one is the lesser killer for slow runner than the West Coast Highway. WCH may be lower, but it's more than 10km of unsheltered highway, with direct morning run. Sun still shining up to11am for the 7 hour runners. Just hope it will be like last year, cloudy.

Finished my FM at 8 AM SG time this morning. Quick review of the marathon.

Course: 7/10. Reasonably flat with a few up and down on their expressway similar to SCSM. Road not always in best condition so had to be alert. Majority of the race took place in narrower streets with older looking buildings. Some pretty sights but overall pretty much urban running. At least no boring long ECP run like SCSM. Towards the end the morning Hanoi commute had started so it was not always possible to keep running because need to alternate between letting the runners pass and the traffic.

Atmosphere: 7/10. Pretty basic race, most of the cheerers were stationed towards the last few kms of the marathon. The rest of the race could see the daily lives of Hanoi residents like the elderlies exercising in the park. The experience of running while navigating morning Hanoi commute was certainly something. The motorists did not give a hoot to the runners and traffic police so needed to be quite daring towards the later part of the race in downtown Hanoi.

Water Stations: 9/10. Well organised with decent spacing. Each station always have sufficient ice cold plain water, isotonic drink, and either banana or watermelon. Some also had cold water to douse though I did not see the need for it. No complain.

Vietbu: 8/10. Hanoi’s runner girls were definitely prettier than the ones in HCM. Figures also very good. Out of all marathons I had run so far the one with the most chio bus is still SCSM.

Medal and Finisher tee: 6/10. Medal looked nicer than the pic in social media. Finisher tee was disappointing, design was very basic. The event tee was nicer looking.

Good job! Have a good rest and enjoy the rest of your time there

I think cause Ben is the top Singaporean for ironman and he took part in T100 so he used that footage

 

[Mecisteus]

Anyone bought sports shorts with internal net from shopee ?

Can recommend which ones ?

A bit hard to go through so many shorts in shopee.

Like @WussRedXLsaid, I usually encounter them too at MBS to Bay East. Funny thing there is many runners run on cycling lane and cyclists cycle on running lane. Solution for me is just run earlier at 5ish am

Can hoot mount faber also, that one can consider "long climb" coz around 3X higher than Sheares. Total 2-3 reps more than sufficient with some rests in between if not conditioned yet.
Also it is of a higher % gradient so will train / strengthen the relevant muscles. If insufficient strength sure tire out easier, more localised/global lactate accumulation + just basically tire out etc. The downhill section also needs a bit of training. But effect shd not be big ba....

For bicycles, do 4-5 reps if doing T100 duathlon i guess. 10-12 reps if doing long distance (that one really kee siao for my age)
