Very impossible for me. My work location is very inaccessible that there is no walking path or track unless I run on the road .There is another method wo quitting.
Get a job that is very close to your home. Run to work. If coy is within 1.2km, lunch hour is flexi or home got cook (the culture here is 1.5-2hrs, can nap occasionally after lunch) then can run back home as well, coz can quick shower. If coy is within 3k, running is possible, esp nowadays all these buildings got shower facilities, coz bike commuting is already there and you can see ECP/MBS and Rail Corridor folks doing that but mainly is ang mohs. Only thing is if rain then take public tpt.
All these should count for something at least, coz it's Mon-Fri, month after month year after year.
Yes, you'd also do your normal sessions on top of this.
If job is not demanding, no OT, can even do strengthening in office....... (one bro in this thread and me doing this, possible)
But then issue is, high chance of being pok / no career one.But something has to give.
Either that or gotta be some ah sia kia or family needs to be financially free or something.
I'm using silca synergetic wet lube. Quite clean and last long.Went to try this ceramic speed ufo wax. But chain and cassette dirty so paid 120 to do a partial service although bike bought in Apr 2025.
they washed the bike and tuned it. Then apply the ceramic wax. So next time no need degreaser or wet lube just apply the wax to the chain.
100ml bottle is $39 or they do for you $65. Every 700km apply the wax to the chain
Maybe a 3.05 is also good enough for this year, gotta take one step at a time haha.
that's what he said !
. Actually I agree with it .

I am hardly even satisfied with HM, how to go for marathon?! I am cramping up doing a HM. But there are races I want to try - 15km (there's a few of such races in Sg). I have never cramped up running a fast 15k. I also would like to try overseas races if I can work my way up to HM. Not in a rush to do it though, still 5/10k.
My job was the exact same case last year. But contract didn't get renewed, found a new job that was 100% WIO, more people-facing. Long story short, I went from napping in the afternoon during work hours to napping after work. I need proper naps to function effectively for my runs.
Closer to home, Aaron Lee (aaroniseverything) trying to hit 4 flat for Z2.
His current like 4:20-4:30
UK Elite national level can do 3:45 thereabouts i think. After that drink beer.
(see vid below)
Oh yeah, Jakob Ingrebrigsen 2.2 mmol/L blood lactate at ~ 2:30 min/km pace.
One "common" comment i see is "why some of those runners on PCNs or track run so fast one, big ego or what"..
If you ever meet say Aaroniseverything then you'd know why....... i have bumped across him several times at MBS/GBE liao but too fast coz opposite directions, cant say Hi. He mostly topless one so not difficult to spot.
If such fellas given 60 mins to learn racewalking and get the neuro locked in, i think in 1km they can walk faster than recreational joggers do intervals. (any longer of coz the muscles cannot lah coz got some slightly different muscles involved)
He is outright much faster than the 2nd fastest Singaporean marathon runner, also 5 minutes. Most likely, they send Ahmad Arif Ibrahim and Henry He Yong to represent.
Same, my current work wants me to go work full time, study part time. Hard to find time if I get into part time studies next year.
Sub 90 HM goal
