quite appropriate, but really depends on which GW one is going and which section of the wall, as most are primarily walking only.
However, the crowd, distance and hassle, are deterrence to me
in my current situation, need alot more strength training before able to do z2 for GW
but if i am to be back living in BJ, i may consider trying some trails at 金山岭 which is a popular venue for trail running and ultras.

Do it like cycling, off peak hrs like at 6am for Jiankou. Or 7am for BDL. Can try once in a lifetime when you taking AL. Imagine sunrise at GWC.
The flatter parts can do running.
Can cycle there.....but of coz need cycling skills on the road.

If scared of downhill accidents, wear cycling helmet, soft type knee and elbow pads. Got hard body pads also....no joke, around $20+ on TB (ABS plastic). Need gloves also (thin ones ok), normal typical pax's reflex action to break fall with wrist.

not to burst your bubble but are you aware those are lifestyle shoes, not running shoes

actually doesn't quite matter, especially if the shoes do not cause any forms of injuries.
i believe most of us did plenty of running in Bata BM2000 or something similar when we were in our school days.

not sure if the roads from BJ city to Jiankao allows bicycles (maybe one needs to find alternative roads from using the highways), but i understand what you mean. But me not into cycling, perhaps more like my life context doesn't quite allow/encourage it. Overwhelmingly more push factors than pull factors.
I have to admit BJ is one place suitable for cycling becos it is surrounded by mountains which makes cycling really fun especially if one enjoys the uphill, downslope terrain.
if i am to do cycling in BJ, most likely will be driving with bike to some location before using the bike.

some interesting routes in BJ for reference:

yesterday early morning I went running splits, sprint and run with my friend, she worn similar to these style but has a lot more straps and crisscross for her top idk does that serves any purposes other than fashion and trend? was fantastic running afterwards time to go for breakfast

Congrats!

Btw is that the structure for trifactor run? Run half first and then another half after swim?

Thanks! For the pure running events, it is just run.

This year, was the first time they did run-swim-run. Usually, according to organisers, is either run first then swim or swim first then run. First time they did run half, swim then run again.

Congratulations.

thanks!

I wear my decathlon walking shoes on treadmill for 30 mins jog also no problem.

Finished my race. Got so lost in the swim, kayakers tapped me to say course is way over that way. Overall quite ok for first open water swim in 15 years. Felt my runs were good though I cramped up while sprinting last 50m. Got overall 11th

congrats man!
achievement, unlock!

Seriously agree on the part with long runs. Is not about talent, but more on grit. How much you want to commit to it and do it right, built that base properly.

Just signed up for this 10km race. The location is near my place, can hello ride over at Punggol Digitial District. Together with a 15% discount from SGRC, so decide to run this instead of Skecher run for this year. Final price is $51.
