To be honest, i have zero experiences in running/exercising in cooler weather. Sigh.
Must be fooking enjoyable. Like a turbo button.

Too bad too costly for my current situation (retirement planning + not nearly enough $$$)
Indonesia Bandung not my wife/in-laws place also. 🤣 (also too far away lah)

KNN why Batam does not have mountains. Sigh. Even Gunung Pulai near JB at 800-900m quite ok, shd be at least a 5 deg C drop. But if MTBer, Batam is pretty shiok.

Actually for SG, to be really honest, you look at Ben Khoo or SRY...... also 2.40+ to just under 3hrs for Ben here during SCSM. Ben also pung cek in the morning heat here, coz heat soak heat fatique over such a long duration and higher intensities. I am talking about current situation which is more indicative of "normality" , of coz their prev PBs are faster. And we know that these folks are bloody fast.

Really not easy......really gotta train !@$%!% hard and specific and got talent.
Coz we gotta factor in the race crowd siaming, and remember they are right in the front pen A.
For us, need to have lobangs to be really right at the front, every minute counts.

I feel like applying for Tokyo marathon and I believe it is on 1 mar ?

although I already bought my next year holiday trip to tokyos during CNY period 14 Feb -23 Feb. But I do feel that doesn't matter since it is hard to secure a spot .

I am aiming for Melbourn marathon next year in Oct since I decided to visit there as my brother living there.

Anyway. I feel my gluteus medius injury has recovered but I didn't run since Monday 18 aug as I strained my right ankle when I went for my run to see any discomfort. xray shown has some bone fragments and dunno is old injury or cause by the current setback and I might to rest even longer to full recovery.

@sales69

Wow....still got so many details, even if using 80% x 1RM

Luckily for us not so much into pure hypertrophy emphasis.

Actually i am wondering if for insurance, when you think you are done, maybe best to drop set it

Good news. No longer feel pain on my gluteus medius . Bad news. My right ankle still have discomfort when I run. Can feel my fitness significantly drop and even more bad news. Wife found out I went for run and I kanna scolded by her very jialat she knows that I am not fully recover... But she is not a runner. Won't understand my pain of not running

What is bone fragment like? Anything like a structural damage e.g. fracture? If it is, I don't think you should run.
