Actually nowadays quite amazing.

2 years ago I could racewalk and get $500 (nowadays i think cannot already, at least muscularly mainly the anterior tibialis strength/endurance)

 

[Skyrillex]

Woo! Still a super timing! Definitely gonna sub 3 soon

I think I've reached my peak already bro, but we shall see.

Last year is all about mileage for me so this year I'll be working more on speed and running form.

 

[WussRedXLi]

23 deg C and stopped raining/drizzling at 5am, as good as it can get.

Started to drizzle again at 6+, wanted to do a second (slower) 5K to add up to 10K but better to stop as raining heavier.

Rested around 1 min+ after the first one, no very long, to splash iced water and sip a bit .

I htink i know how to pace already, just try to aim as close as possible to 3:30 can liao.

First 5K

I think mileage wise not an issue. Speed and intervals should get you there

Would you do this if you see Eulid Kipchoge, Joshua Cheptegi etc?

this reminds me of my perpetual failing of my iPPT (2.4km) after leaving NS and was a regular RT participant.

so envious you guys can run in the 3-4min/km pace allowing you to effectively try some really interesting shoes, eg. RM999 Anta C202 G9 (designed with Bekele's input)

Now I'm starting to think maybe sub 3 not meant for me bro.

keep going, am sure you can do it.

Insane timings

I think the weather really plays quite a fair bit..... and anyway i hate really hot weather. lol
But the flip side is that if previous few weeks warm and you have been training "hot", then just suddenly hoot in cool weather, you might reap benefits that is somewhat similar to alt training.

In fact Ben felton (Ben is Running) youtuber went to AUS (now summer) to gun a recent parkrun, like 40 seconds slower at 5k distance due to the heat. Even for 5k which is a relatively short distance that is not often thought to be affected.

You have the Taobao link? Would like to keep in watch list for now. I see on Anta sg website is 219. Max I willing to spend on shoes is about 170-180 haha

it appears there are some changes these few days. Prices have changed in other shops, but official TB still at RMB999, but need to be a member.

i almost bought the all white version early dec but held back after knowing the recommended pace is within 3hr30min Marathon pace.

like u, i don't want to spend too much and wanting a pair that cover wider range of paces, thus just bought a pair of bmai必迈惊碳3.0turbo (RMB699)

I actually went to do an in-depth research into plateau mileage point and I can say that most people wouldn't reach it in Sg.

5k: 65-80 miles
10k: 80-100 miles
21.1k: 100-130 miles
42.195k: 110-140 miles (Marathon Handbook)

Of course, this type of mileage must be done together with specific intervals for the targeted distance. And you must be able to sustain it which is difficult especially since it puts one at higher risk of injury.

---

1. Mileage >> How consistent is your mileage, how much mileage you run per week, how long have you been running that mileage over the years?

2. Distance Focus >> A 5k/10k specialist will be able to produce better results at the 5k/10k than a marathon specialist given the same mileage. Of course, there are many cases where marathoner outruns 5k/10k runner, but if you look at the mileage numbers, the marathoner usually runs more mileage and by default, can run faster than 5k/10k runners.

3. Types of intervals >> Are you doing the right intervals for that distance, how often do you run intervals, single or double intervals week (usually people do one short, one long)?

4. Strength and conditioning >> Includes gym/hills >> How much time do you allocate to strength and conditioning each week?
