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.

You ran trail on plantar? haha

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.

Just out 3 weeks ago.
Don't get the gummies. And they are on Amazon.

I am starting 10g per day for myself.
Also starting this for my kid.

See if my parents interested or not.

10g = 35 cents for California Gold Nutrition Creatine.

Thanks, very likely will switch to Runna next year, for economical reasons.

90 year olds. 8 weeks of heavy resistance training.
But of coz, as usual across all ages, mindset must be correct, and never give up or succumb to the usual script.

90 yrs old suddenly can do 8 weeks of heavy resistance training?

The study said one, but i think is a relative sense. n=10 only, but i think what the study wanted to prove is that even 90 years old can improve in muscle strength and size and that wheelchaired pax also can "stand up and walk" to a certain extent. If the doc allows and clears, i think 70-80 pax can do, which is what i am trying desperately to ask my parents to do with bands and whey and stuff, unfortunately most of the time the mindset defeatist attitude kicks in for such pple.

"Heavy" in the sense that it is not the type that we see in normal physio or typical fitness corner ones just twist and turn there.......but probably at least with some free weights / decent band work. My 94 yr old granny also did band work, but the band was like.....well, balloon type thin.
Not to say that the PTs are wrong, but really gotta progressively overload when one is still typically problem free lah.......and dont be overly limited coz of "safety" concerns.

1990 study. Was done in an elderly care home, ie frailest of the frail.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2342214/

Abstract​

Muscle dysfunction and associated mobility impairment, common among the frail elderly, increase the risk of falls, fractures, and functional dependency. We sought to characterize the muscle weakness of the very old and its reversibility through strength training. Ten frail, institutionalized volunteers aged 90 +/- 1 years undertook 8 weeks of high-intensity resistance training. Initially, quadriceps strength was correlated negatively with walking time (r = -.745). Fat-free mass (r = .732) and regional muscle mass (r = .752) were correlated positively with muscle strength. Strength gains averaged 174% +/- 31% (mean +/- SEM) in the 9 subjects who completed training. Midthigh muscle area increased 9.0% +/- 4.5%. Mean tandem gait speed improved 48% after training. We conclude that high-resistance weight training leads to significant gains in muscle strength, size, and functional mobility among frail residents of nursing homes up to 96 years of age.

Of coz everything is relative, we wouldnt expect 90 year olds gunning a 14-15 sec 100m or deadlifting 100kg.

But the idea is this.......by having the correct mindset and aiming high enough when you are younger, you then have enough buffer in your pocket.
Then even when you hit over 100, you are still not disabled....while normal pax start to experience functional disability after 70 for eg.

Not saying the graph is medically correct, but just for illustration.

Bonus

Young people should have no excuse not to exercise. Haha

One comment said is pedestrian's fault, he saw the pedestrian was jawalking and the was green arrow for the driver. Unfortunately the driver would still be penalised.
Having low visibility also leaves driver to have little reaction time.
