Surprised at the local pricing of Yogiri though.
Click to expand...
Asics SG MSRP
Metaspeed series $359
Superblast 2 $319
S4+ Yogiri $319
Magic Speed 4 $249

Seems like deliberate segmented pricing to not cannibalize sales.

If they price the S4+ at around $200+, it would make Magic Speed 4 irrelevant. On the other hand at $319, it actually makes the Metaspeed series look like an attractive proposition at just an additional 40 bucks.

Singapore pricing quite shitty for Asics shoes. Even in Japan, S4+ is much cheaper than SB2

Coz i thought he mentioned like 4-6 months earlier he was guesstimating around 18:35. Now is GPS measurement of coz. So while got improvement, it's not a lot for the age, like mini plateau.

Not unlike a 9 month stretch like me last time.....which i only managed to get past it by changing a few things, from Creatine/Beta Alanine/whey + higher daily protein at 1.5g/kg (plus even harder strength training coz of cycling) to skipping rope and more recent Q4 last year bought lactate meter and more "scientifically measured" stuff with regards to blood lactate measurements.
Even a semi structured training schedule consisting of all the usual stuff from longer runs to threshold to usual SIT/hill sprints and majority Z2 plus strength + plyo + usual recovery like at least 7 hrs sleep daily with excellent sleep hygiene did not help.......stuck jiu shi stuck and my age sure would not help.


But ultimately since its just for hobby, i guess as long as dont slide can already. As long as dont burnout also coz there is no "off season".

Good job bro!

But lately you haven't been training much? Not say inconsistent or what, but less.

Yeah been a little inconsistent, due to 50+ hour weeks and 5 days work in office + 1 day offsite. Not maintaining 60k/week consistently, but still can at least hit 50k.

I ran that after work at 9pm, so it’s unlikely to reflect my fitness. Could be possible if I run on weekends with a short nap. But I would consider re-doing if I didn’t achieve sub-19 min, because that should still be attainable even when I have a long day.

Thanks, it’s tough to get in time to run but I try to make time after work. I eat after running so there’s definitely sacrifices involved. Good thing is that in the later half of this year, I will have more leaves and I want to use that to hit 65k/week.

One thing i realised all these while is that can achieve a certain level (eg PB level) but then after also issue about maintaining. :ROFLMAO: To maintain also need a certain level of dedication, and to PB surpass that lagi worse.

It's only through cycling (very sustainable with high hours) that i am able to maintain the central adaptations (ie heart and lungs cardio/pulmonary), and then the running specifics (peripheral adaptations, neuro etc) i just do the minimal.....

Nowadays also dang hot and yeah only after 9pm can whack, and will get warmer still. I wear TT helmet head all wet, even with a bit of venting there. Only Z2 is tahanable.
Heng i dont do distance type of cycling TTs.

Damn fast, 8:59
Likely to at least be a 7 min flat 2.4 runner, possibly below that.

Current 800m record holder (1:59) for Jippun
