jogging and motivation thread

I suspect u land your left foot on the curb instead of on the road surface. Need to unlearn that bad habit.

hahaha you are right. Initially always unclip left leg and trying to place it on the left kerb and still seated.

now I unclip left leg and lift up my ass and stand up
lean body forward a little to shift body weight to the front
and
place left leg on road.

while waiting “sit” on the frame.
Right leg put back to 2pm.
When time to move off I use right leg to push off and hop onto the saddle.

then clip in the left leg. If I cannot clip in left leg just pedal a while first, eventually will clip in

Previously I rode foldie and hybrid. When I bought roadie, I started with shimano flat pedals EF202 for my roadie for a month cos first time ride roadie.
The roadie saddle I put lower cos “scared fall” and “easier to mount”
Then after a month I changed to dura ace pedals with SPD SL cleats. I had saddle adjusted to the “correct” height cos knee pain.
the power transfer is more efficient with clipless and I glad I did try it though initially I was scared to go clipless

Really need to try with the same saddle height with both flat and clipless. If not same height, sure will be able to feel got differences, or with the power meter see slightly different figures during different type of rides.

But if riding on roads predominantly and no crowded walking paths like MBS/Merlion/UOB SG river area (quite therapeutic that area after a hard day at work can people see also) or wider type PCNs for training where there are still risks of other users behaving unpredictably, then by all means.

edit - one more thing, of coz flats might be slightly more slippery/dangerous when wet of coz, but i dont really ride on wet surfaces in the first place.
Also, in the rain, i dont want to add another layer of danger esp when drivers can barely see you with a wet windscreen

any recreational joggers eat supplement or any special thing?

I feel tired after running. Usually take a nap. Does supplement helps in this situation or improve jogging?

Ya man I also want to know / learn.

For me I drink 100 Plus Pro (which has protein) after 8km run.

If can take a nap (weekends) then take one. Is good for recovery. This is esp so if you had gotten up early like at 5-ish to gun your longer run....most probably 2 days of earlier wake up times somemore.

Creatine might have some muscle recovery boost in that it helps providing sufficient ATP to it
eg https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8228369/

Other than that, make sure your other areas also up to snuff. Eg Magnesium, Vit D3 quite crucial. For Magnesium you'd need to take Mg Glycinate or other forms of bioavailable Mg. Mg oxide does not really work, other than giving you flatulence and/or lao sai esp in higher doses (eg 400mg elemental Mg equivalent)

Got many @ MBS Merlion GBTB, BEG and ECP......see until dont want to see already. Just this morning i saw 4, 2 of which quite chio + heavy bouncing front end. One was not wearing pants but rather spandex underwear type of shorts with nice 1/4 butt cheeks showing.

Some also wear make up jog one. (well to be fair, even more female cyclists than joggers do that)

Sure got one la......
On reddit / studies, most common are lower limb and pelvis fractures.......for the serious cases.

But of coz these are all extreme examples.
Even for me who frequent a fair bit on walkways/PCNs/MBS areas, the cases needing me to brake hard and subsequently "jump off" in the end is extremely rare.

But as always, mistakes do happen. I dont really jump red lights unless in cases in which even pedestrians would cross coz there isnt any traffic in early morning and there is clear visibility......but last week i made a mistake and F, there i was. Even while driving cars i and others do make mistakes, then you'd hope and rely on others not to mow you down liao.

And for my usage cases, the race that i do is not draft legal, no group rides and i might do some individual time trial and that is about it. No need to keep closing gaps or what.

Cycling is many hours, so want to put on make up. Running less than an hour, so no need make up. Lol.

But then, cycling on the road, moving fast, also few people can see your face. The make up is for the social group rides that have long breaks at Cafes where people take selfies.

U buy liao no need wear for run, correct? Jogging just wear your normal guys clothes can liao.

Running also need to cross dress? Singapore weather, guys attire of singlet and short are the best.

Yeah......the group rides. Actually one weekend my kid and i were at SBV on the traffic island beside the Kent Ridge covered reservoir resting after the climb....... i think within the 15 mins there, easily spotted at least a dozen w makeup. Lots of them....

My favourite running tee is actually Uniqlo airism mesh material type . Out of stock for quite some time already .

I don't understand why some people choose to jog with cotton material . Especially a few still wearing the saf admin tee.
