jogging and motivation thread

Think he explains well the importance of having high mitochondria density and quality. By improving the quality and higher density of Mitochondria we can be burning fats more efficiently and clearing of lactate faster. This how exercise in zone 2 training makes us metabolic flexible. Improve insulin sensitivity too, hence protective against a lot of metabolic disease such as diabetes.

For long distance runner, it not only train our body to burn fats efficiently, but also clear lactate faster, coz mitochondria also use lactate to burn as energy. Mitochondria are found in higher density in slow twitch muscle, so long duration easy run it is. Ideally should run at just below LT1, but this point is not easy to find if you don't have a lactate meter or you don't know your steady state pace on flat ground.

Who can win me

Wow really quite a lot, when i was still walking / running last time i average 400+k range per mth only.
Now even less mid 300k range only coz running mileage down, xfer it to cycling.

This morning jog at stadium. So many events going on have to siam here siam there.

Eh bro.....i tot you true blue cyclist.

It shouldn't be allowed at the 1st place. Regular season runner I observed won't run opposite direction on the track. Anyway this kind of guai lan runner won't last more than 10 rounds.

Usually if the stadium staff is aware of such runner, they will come out and 'advice' them to run the correct direction.
Those serious athletes who runs too high volume on track and when they need to run opposite direction (rebalance their left and right legs usage), they will do it outside the lanes.

nah, I got it. You have to get 100pts. So even if you do well in running it’s useless. You have to excel in all 3 stations.

THey have 2 separate patches. 100 pts and sub 9. Unless they changed for 2024. Granted in 2023, I had to ask for it.

I didn't even know that was the purpose of running opp direction.

Moi is retired so cannot compared.

When I am still working last year, my monthly steps hardly exceed 300K and I wasn't really bother with the health point at all cause really no time.

 

[Ender]

Yes, Athletes who run too high volume on track will have their left leg running a lot shorter distance than the right leg if they follow our anti clockwise running etiquette. So they 're-balance' back by doing their warm up, cool down in the opposite direction.
For us, only once a week, 5km a session, I feel no need for us to do it.

 

[Ender]

I also run most of the time at stadium. Very common to witness everything u mentioned.

To add on..they are people who just walk into the track without looking. Imagine a runner is sprinting at less than 4 mins /km speed for their interval track training .

Sometime I need to hop away or jam brake to avoid this kind of people . Then there are some jokers who will run in clockwise direction instead of anti clockwise.

If you have been doing all your HM training on track, I think you should consider warm up and cool down in the opposite direction. But outside the lanes for consderation of other users.

Ok...that's good man.

 

[shredded]

Shanti fastest 2.4km is 11 minutes at sec 3 and her 400m PB is 53.67s.

You will probably beat her 800m in, definitely before the 1km mark.

that's already faster than most guys. she probably got gold for her napfa

 

[Jeremy1]

Yes but not if it's too far.

Once I am in town area ( Orchard }, then I don't take bus liao because most area are walkable distance to me.

I see, my last ippt was in 2021 before I go into MR. Must have changed after I left.

I never ride in the rain or even wet ground due to safety reasons, scared of bone fracture etc. Road got road hazards, but even pavement / PCN also got its own slippery hazards. But to be honest, running also got, but lower speeds so....

Usually I try to avoid unless rain while cycling halfway.
