Anyone going of Income Eco Run? I just signed up with my NTUC policy discount at $30. Price is hard to resist.

Still thinking of whether to go for eco run. For now it’s 2XU as wanted it for warmup for sundown but now sundown seems like in limbo.

Yea, monitor lizards and otters, which i always see at 5-6am before the masses come). And then sometimes got chickens also.... And then Sentosa also got peacocks.

Only thing never see is tapir / wild boar. (more for your area i think)

This one is similar to the zone 2 / MAF / LHR method?

I see this AMDK JSKM, run sub 3 hour marathon still can talk all the way.

Yeah, zone 2 MAF method, basically just run chill a wee wee bit out of breath and just enough to notice that you are exercising. It's a very safe method of working out and literally no brainer, just keep at it, slowly ramp up the distance when starting out 1st and 2nd month, you will be golden. More than good enough to pass IPPT, just give 6 months allowance, more than good enough even for pretty unfit (but not morbidly obese) folks.

Very advanced amateurs / semi pros run at 4.00 - 4.30 in zone 2 no issue.
Pros can do zone 2 in just under 4.00 pace. (2nd vid, the elites yakking along)
Pro racewalkers can do very close to 4.00 pace for 20k distance, they can comfortably sub-20 for 5K parkrun events via (race)walking.

Sian, this fella walks faster than i can currently run. Both 1 mile and 5K

I am going to identify as a female and compete with all of the girls in the powerlifting competition.

 

[fishercow]

Checking in after stopping running for like 6-9 months. Started with a slow zone 2 run, tmd pace is really slow lol

 

[ADBCrusader]

No time to exercise is an excuse. Look at this guy, he has an job interview and he can squeeze in a marathon on the same day.

I cycled for an hour after my interview counted or not ah?

Gonna go for a jog tomorrow if can, also after my interview.

 

[WussRedXLi]

I'm wondering if there are any of u in the 40s with a max HR of ard ~198/min? Recorded this with my Polar H10 while doing interval 8 x 1km toward the end of my run.
This seems excessive for my age and Is this normal?
Have been running for quite a few yrs liao and just completed by SCB 1/2 marathon ard 2.20min.

Early 50s, MHR i believe is 182 as per recorded once last year. But whether was it really 182 or cadence lock due to my watch on my wrist is another matter, but shd be ok, coz i wear my watch pretty tight one.

Assuming your recorded 198 and my 182 are both fairly accurate and properly recorded. that 16 bpm difference for 10 years yours would be on the higher end of the scale / variance.....coz there would always be variances due to genetics.

Was gonna send this too

Went to google for original thread on reddit + video, it is here.

Saw the vid, i think a bigger issue is that the 2 road bikes saw the boy at the beginning of the video and were trying to avoid him, hence the momentary lapse in concentration for the 2nd cyclist until he IDed the lizard and it was too late. Speed to fast to e-brake (dangerous too).

But really too fast, esp that was downslope part. Manuvering that fast past the boy is very risky, coz i know that area and what the people would do there very well. Some are very unpredictable.
And whenever i see kids, i will brake one and go quite slowly (below 15kmh).......

That's why you ask me why i come across so many accidents. It's coz that area really is not like the other typical PCNs. And that area like Robinson/Cecil and Shenton is one of the main routes, actually is literally need to pass by that area one, for those doing road cycling (not me, but i use small portions for faster access to other areas during low traffic periods) , for Keppel / Nicoll.

Anyway i just came back from 9pm drone show, i saw some cyclists going above 15kmh when the crowds dispersed. Suicidal. I only dare to go ~ 10kmh.

I notice some females have pretty good scaling up to FM. Their 5km, 10km alot slower than me, but HM and FM faster.

That girl is quite seasoned, FM time is 3.59. Run many years and also experienced the race route multiple times. I guess the consistency helps since she has been running the parkrun since 2014 and have very consistent timings from there.
