Legend. When he is not shooting up triad gangs, he runs for health.

Nice to see Mark哥 running again. Thought he gg liao ever since the TW restaurant incident.

A few months back, he had a fall while running. But against Doc's order, he was back to running again within a week. LOL. .Typical serous runner..

How's your race?

 

[Ender]

Go thru the individual photos by Sportag. Photo quality much better than the free ones form Singapore

 

[Ender]

Motivation from a 68 year old man.. CYF not happy with his timing.. Will try harder next year. LOL

How's your race?

Yea i had painkillers and soaked it in cold water so leg was feeling ok throughout the run. But omg its terribly cold once i ran up to the flyovers, still better weather than running at ECP under the hot sun.

The harbor part was the killer part as expected as i slowed down quite a bit but managed to pick up pace once i went up. Otherwise i think this course is still acceptable to me cause of the weather haha, and managed to break my PB again from HM onwards. But the sharp turns and hills are a no-no for me. I might consider running overseas again in the future but definitely not going to run this race again.

Net timing: 3:12:24

Congrats, on your PB. That is a excellent elite time.

Yes congrats on an excellent PB time! On an injured leg as well! perhaps flatter course will be even better!

anybody getting the alphafly3?

anybody getting the alphafly3?

Me, but then i might need to go Nike store twice and gun at various paces. Not gonna be cheap.

Coz i have never owned any Nike shoes before.

If doesnt suit me also does not matter (and then save some $$$), coz also aiming for SC Elite v4 and then PB 4.0 when it finally comes out officially as a daily.

 

[WussRedXLi]

Yeah quite cooling today

This evening so hot, later 7pm also don't know how to go out to cycle and run.

Think might need to wait till 8-8.30pm, then lan lan can only return 10 to 10.30pm. Sigh.

After March i think as usual, same as 2023, cannot run at night already. Might be dangerous too, coz i tried a few times last year, fast and longer efforts i would risk a bit of overheating. Totally not enjoyable.
Maybe pure cycling past 8pm still can. But running/jogging cannot.

Looks like high casualties at SCHKM

Yeah one of the few reasons why i love my 5K, and then recently also 3K
10K i feel really testing my endurance already.

I mean i probably can do HM and even FM without issues, just that no timing must be concerned + also need breaks. In fact even 50/60K ultras also can, but no timing. (from my cycling experiences and the conversion ratio of 2.5 with regards to my lousy high-resistance foldie ). Possible heat stress is another reason, which would lead to heat injuries esp local context. My triathlete ex-colleague kena before.

Not sure if one possible factor is due to my lower perspiration rate.
Even low 40s to 45 mins for 10K, my shoes (and legs) do not get wet one. Just upper body, and maybe a bit of streaming down my hands, that's about it. My hair and sides somewhat dry one.
Also why i tend to splash water for the 10K PB attempts that time. (active cooling)

I wait for Alpha 4 is out than start looking at Alpha 3... LOL.

Can set your next destination to Gold Coast. Heard that it is a very flat course. Maybe sub 3 for you...

 

[Cometdevil]

Another 4km run 6min 10s/km pace
Legs seems no ache.
Can slowly increase distance next few jogs.

Jin warm but still got wind not too bad

 

[Ender]

Not much change visually from the sen 8, and 9. But some changes internally. According to his imaginary description, the carbon rods are replaced by some thing that resembles a fish spatula.

Jin warm but still got wind not too bad

Only started cycling session at 8.30pm so that the ground and NE winds can cool things down. Just came back at just before midnight and finished bathing and drinking a fair bit of isotonic drinks (only had 550ml of water for the ride).

Initially rather warm, 29 plus deg C in the city area. Did a bit of bicep curls, good mornings and upright rows. Now shag out. Wanna sleep liao.

I think after CNY, need to revert back to early morning sessions liao. Also, weekdays can only manage shorter duration than current evenings, coz cannot expect to wake up at 4am and be out by 4.30 every day. Even tho can sleep by 9.30pm
From previous experience, 7.30am need to exercise cut liao, too warm.
