She already did a sub-8 2.4km pocari challenge back then. So while this is a great achievement, it comes as no surprise too.

Am glad that SG got good runners

If running 10k distance, will u all take pre/post workout supplements? What do u take?

I eat a banana before runs.

After runs:

Eat full dinner of carbs and meat

Whey protein + Creatine for building muscle

L-Citrulline + Boron + Zinc for men's health

this early morning around 2am plus. Turned right out from one of the geylang lorongs so on the right side of the one way road.

Was on a turn right/ go straight lane and planning to go straight. a small lorry driven by foreign worker cut me on the left and turn right in front of me.

lucky I go slow and got check left blind spot when I saw the road markings of my lane

@Jeremy1 can try a bit of this for your ankles. But ultimately i feel still need to progress to doing with weights esp coz this is a bilateral (both legs unstead of single) exercise. Maybe 2 bags of rice or something.....or some thick resistance bands while the front ball of your foot/metatarsals standing on the bands and then your hands are pulling on them, while you are doing at home.

got very interested in trail running after i did the 20k buff forest run yesterday.
i think it's so much more fun than road running.

anybody bought those china trail shoes before?
i tried running trail with the puma deviate nitro 2 but i think the stack abit too low for my liking.

Pre Coffee and 2 slice of bread.
Post 100Plus and whatever freebie.

This is a 10K! not full marathon

Trail running, Saucony has the best soles for traction.
Stiff uppers for ankle protection = weight so this is always a balance.

High stack and uneven terrains of the trails, not a good combo if you are looking for high stack shoes.
I haven't run trail for a long time, don't know much, but unevenness of the trail is what I remembered.

Saw you using Runna for you SCSM training. don't mind if you can do a comparison between TAO and Runna.
Seriously thinking of switching to Runna for next year SCSM coz the Strava + Runna combo is still cheaper than TAO

Runna is a lot more aggressive in terms of the training. There was a lot more speed work in there.
However, there have since included a function for you to customize the weekly load, progression etc.
This makes it a lot more friendly for the user but it still has it own weakness.

Small things like i can't stop/pause the plan halfway. Also, it doesn't adapt the plan like TAO if there is any injures, doing a different workout etc. It doesn't care about your load incurred from doing other workout outside of your plan.
