You may want to try the Mcmillan training and race calculator to give you a guide what are your training paces range for speed interval, Cruise interval , easy days , long run....etc... They need your recent race time or time trial and a goal you want to achieve. No HR zones, just pace base.

Some thoughts on the calculator since I did some comparison with the Vdot one:

Endurance pace: McMillian wins. Easy from Vdot gave: 5:39 ~ 6:13. Easy from McMillian gave: 5:05 - 5:43

The latter is more accurate. Long run pace is slightly slower than the easy run pace since it's supposed to be longer. McMillian also shows recovery jog pace, but this can be classified the same as easy, perhaps the slower range of easy rather than being a category of it's own.

Stamina pace: McMillian wins again. They have more detail on steady state and tempo pace range, but vdot gave a specific threshold pace number.

Speed pace: Vdot wins. I find McMillian calculator being relevant only for the faster limit of the 600/800m. For the 400m, it is too slow. For 1000 - 1600m, it's basically a faster tempo but not quite goal pace. For simplicity, Vdot, provided the specific pace to hit for their intervals which matches the faster limit of the McMillian calculator.

Sprint pace: Both are right. Vdot gives the specific pace to hit for their 400/600m intervals. McMillian gave a pace range which can be considered as the safe limit to hit for intervals. Go faster than the pace range and it might affect your subsequent runs. Go slower than the pace range and you willn't be pushing hard enough. I will use this to hit Vdot pace but at the same time don't go too fast/slow based on McMillian pace range.

Race pace workout: Not accurate since the workouts they prescribed are based on the goal pace. If you run to hit the goal pace, then you'll likely run slower. It makes sense to run based on their training pace than their race pace workouts.

Have seen a lot of these cases, cyclists, joggers, walkers/pedestrians.......pmds e-bikes esp.

Not that you cannot do this, but must look at the direction of oncoming traffic' + ensure no blocked view of other lanes. If the lane is empty, you need to assume that a **** would come barrelling through even though it's already a good few seconds after red. (got other cases before, even 15 seconds also got **** just whack past red). Many reasons, from playing mobile phone which is all too common nowadays be it drivers or pedestrians to even cyclists/e-bikes, to drink driving.

SINGAPORE – Traffic accidents claimed the lives of 136 people in 2023, a 25.9 per cent jump from the 108 deaths in 2022.

The 136 fatalities figure is the highest since 2016, when there were 141 deaths. The latest figure also exceeds the pre-Covid-19 level of 118 deaths in 2019, said the Traffic Police (TP) on Feb 20 when releasing its annual statistics report.

The report also showed increases in the number of fatal accidents involving speeding, drink driving and running the red light.

20240223 1degC (felt like below 0degC) drizzling. 11.08km @ 6'16" av saucony endorphin pro 3
very difficult start despite about 5min of dynamic stretching. engine cannot get started, breathing all over the place, felt being stuck around the chest area, legs no energy, struggled for some 5km before getting better. Too cold for me. 😂

anyone had experienced similar symptoms on the chest when you run or at the start of your runs? want to find out more to overcome this issue.

takumi sen 8 and 9 are really good. Fantastic shoe to run at good pace and makes one wanna go faster and faster. midsole thickness is just nice for fast rebounce and it offers very good spring back effect. good for cornering as well. haven't been keeping up with ts10reviews but if they are continuing the good work, ts10 will be a v good shoe. great choice.

Just don't push too hard. Scary with things related to chest. Usually I only get chest tightness if going to fall sick

Did a 8.6km fun run this morning....long time never run "longer"/slower, nothing serious just some Z2 stuff which i had been relying on cycling for the past 5 months. I cannot long run coz nightly i go for cycling, so the grind majority already there so i cannot gun a lot of running mileage lest kena stress some muscles or what. (actually i under-recovery mode one, esp the quads, but bo bian coz i love the lifestyle)

Interestingly, even with the weather not been very cool (only 28 deg C this morning and not 23/24) , averaged HR 121.....i managed 5.03.
