For me it’s definitely sub 40 10km. Basically all out whereas sub 90 HM has some buffer in case you slow down to hydrate etc.

Source: Already achieved both.

I think it's safe to say that if you can do a sub 40 10km then you can do a sub 90 21km haha

Hard to say also. Some may not train for a half. Eg @WussRedXLi can definitely hit sub 40 10km but he doesn't train for half haha.

So far I read there is not much complaint on the recent Lazada run . It seems well organized with better running route or happened to have a good weather on the race day.

Unlike the past 2XU and Garmin run. Sibeh jialat.

sub 2hr is still possible and a good target to work towards, which is also my target. Come and join me

Have been running sub 2 timing half marathon consistently on my own every month.. just that I don't join any race...but when I join a race. Either I suffered stage fright or worried too much that affected my running form . Until now I still yet to run a official HM sub 2 in race..

2 years ago and now Lazada run outside of stan chart is one of the best run in sg, route/hydration/

Got many factors. Route,elevation,human traffic,etc compared to when you run on your own at the same route

very blur leh

More or less can see effect can liao lah.
Hope it can go away fast. Quite terok the glove lines.

Usually Sat/Sun i stop before 10am, allergic to the sun. That is when the UVI shoots up.

Today's UVI, clear cloudless day today. Worst is in Feb thereabouts, UVI can go past 11, reaching 13 and 14. Just 45 mins or so can burn liao.

Wah Huawei GT runner is huge.

Yeah i think 48mm or so.

I really just looking for cheap events..... ie AHM 10k, for closed road running esp Nicoll Highway.

But srsly i dont really like to run for long. Will lose focus not to mention get quite uncomfortable and hot in the weather here. Interestingly i can tahan cycling for long 1 shot probably due to much faster speeds and more stimulus ( more and faster scenery changes) or simply put you lose focus you are like dead. But still, comparatively speaking, other pure cyclists cycle lagi longer than me, actually is crazy long.

Can tahan due to much more wind cooling, and of coz the water that you can bring along like insulated bottles, 2-3 packets of frozen red bull / iced lemon tea in jersey rear pocket which also helps to cool via contact, helps.

My last HM was during 2023 AHM where I ran 1:30 if you count the short course. Then this year I ran a 1:25 for first half with 3:02 at the end for China’s marathon

That’s true too haha but I think if I’m running in colder climates the chances are higher for sure. Sg is just too hot hahaha.

Runner when young, then cyclist (Legion USA predominantly but i think he also rode for BMC and Israel as pro-tour), then now try running again (10-20 miles once a week for the whole year while cycling) coz GF also wants to run Berlin. But basically not a runner so kena cramping issues as early as 25k when running...but people was telling him can do 2:20, 2:25 etc.

Moral of the story : Go gun the 3k or 5k if you have 10, 20 mile weeks
