Pulled out after 18km. Had headache and it got worse as the run continued. Might be Covid as my son just recovered from it

Is ok to stop when we know something is not right . There always a next running event!

Last year 2023 sundown marathon . I was aiming under 5 hours and during the 25km mark I also feel my chest very tight and i choose to walk after that . In the end. I finished at 5hr 20 mins. . Now U see. At least I am still able to run regularly

Sorry to hear that.. must be damn sian after all the training etc.. but health comes first..
i'm contemplating to run a FM next year and it will be my 4th.. never go under 5hours before though.

Me too. Already ran 4 marathon before and Also never run under 5 hours before. I hope I can achieve it before I reach 50. Next yr I will be 48 years old liao . I just hit below 49 mins 10km and below 1 Hr 49 mins for half recently for my training run. I feel good to do a 4hr 30 next year .

Last year AHM same, sick just 3 days prior, then in the run suay bo dai boji kena ITBS. This year bro jeremy also a bit sick (yest).

For me must continue to wear KF94 + hand sanitsation to keep risks low, bo bian play hobby is like that. Heng my family memebers / parents still wearing KF94s esp since my wife immunosuppressed.

Anyway just now i saw 2 ambulances with lights and sirens blaring, conveying the runners probably to hospital or something. Was cafe rounding the whole area with my kid just now since 6am.

The amount of trash left at Republic Ave station was crazy. Got 1 x rubbish truck and 2 mini vacuum / sweeper trucks clearing the stuff.

Hello runners

What device you all recommend for heart rate monitoring which also have bluetooth that can link to the treadmill to keep track of the zone one wish to be in during a cardio session?

Polar H10, I like that it supports ANT+ as some older treadmill don't have Bluetooth haha. Supports dual Bluetooth connection too so can pair to your watch/phone as well.

Radioshack also go run

Damn fast, 57s (2:22 pace) to 61s, faster than my 400m full send and they do intervals, 200m |(2:08) is like my 75m Sprint interval training pace. Pro jiu shi pro.
