Is it ego or patience problem? For me at first was the ego, then discard, and work on patience.

Should be patience, felt tedious to run at that pace for almost an hour. Used to getting overtaken by old uncles and aunties already haha

Week 2 of trying to run at zone 2. Reduced my pace further, but got impatient towards the end today

not bad
i need to run at around 9:30min/km to keep my HR below 125, 7:30-8:00 to be below 142.
probably even slower if in SG humid hot environment

Same for me. By 7-8km, already fully primed. Can only go faster even without trying.

Sometimes tried intentionally to hold the HR. Felt like kena internal injury and even more tired afterwards than fast runs.

indeed slow pace running has little to no momentum, felt need different set of muscles and strenuous

Patience is key to lower your HR. I used to run at 6-7min/km as well when I came back from injury at around the same HR.

Anyone going for income run tomorrow? Got unexpected "free entry". Can I check is there free bag drop?

Damn solid HR.

My resting is 50s. Once start running already 120s.

Have. Just be aware that bag queue was long for last year. Some didn't make it on time for the flag off. But doesn't matter if you are just racing your own base on net time. I think it might be better, as don't have to get slowed down by the jammed pack start line at the slope.

Thanks. Will be going earlier to avoid the bag queue haha. Any elevation for the route or is it pretty flat?

Anyway,we don't need to hold our own cup for the hydration right? Cups provided at all hydration points?

Ran for few years also around this speed. No point trying to improve or do more distance. Someone encourage me to do marathon or half marathon but dont think I can

Really respect people can run marathon


Recently vo2 max increase from 50 to 55 after running a variation of runs, from slow run to fast run to sprints

Then try 1k, 1.5k, 1.6k, 3k, 5k, lor. If you want, 400m also can.

I do 10x 100m 19sec up a slope. 5km for fast run and 10km for slow run at 6mins. The low high aerobic and anaerobic all within range now

Just be a specialist 5km or 10km lor. Some people need ever changing goals to motivate to exercise. Else would just nuah and eventually give up being active. If you can self motivate, no need goals or challenge then good lor.

Last year, paper cups provided. No major uphill. A small one at the helix bridge.

 

[Tudo88]

Using tomorrow run as a gauge to see how far or near I am from my goal target pace for Lazada run

 

[WussRedXLi]

Just an idea to that fella, can do full marathon on PIE, after 2am shd be literally no enforcement etc. No lights no stops shun shun run.

Got PMDs on expressway also.
