jogging and motivation thread

[xllms]

I actually did that like a while back but not sure if its the algorithm most of the posts i saw was either china xmm or guys running/sharing their pacing and timing, or them sharing their china race result.

like most apps, the app will adapt to your frequent views. if you look at shoe reviews more often, they will show you more of the same or related posts aa default.

Quite warm, the 16k long run i did last week only managed tempo /threshold paces even though i had the will to push.

Just do cycling sua.... or maybe soon just gun shorter distances like 3k 5k. Too uncomfortable and not enjoyable.

He is fast

I see their running form like their stride is very wide.
Why my stride is short

Need to train more for a fair bit of time, coz while it is not that efficient to "shuffle", neither is it good to force a kick or decent knee-drive at slower speeds/cadences. Lots of variables, can search for it, from strengthening (i like resistance bands) to maybe even mobility exercises..........if not will get injured.

I am still trying to find a form where I can maintained my pace to run till the finishing line

Maybe just try 3k first, then 5k, then 10k. If you find that longer distances are too hard for your age, 10k can be considered endurance long distance type of running also, it's like 1hr or low 1hr plus. The weather here terok also, so no shame in running and then doing well in 10k (or 5k for that matter).

I did a 16k last week, could only average 4.21 pace. Quite shiong, slightly over 1hr hard effort.
I do 1hr hard cycling already feel it quite siong, even with so much more wind cooling.

But at least not to the extent of walking

Not a bad thing to rotate between different form for a long run imo. Coz you also rotate the working muscles and different loading of joints. So some muscle in the precious form can take a break.

He is fast

Yeah think he got a bit of aspirations to do sports at national level but sort of didnt make it. He just started working, so young and fit ba. If he can maintain the consistency and not be affected too much by his career, prob still has room for improvement.

But then again that is another can of worms.......young age neglect career.....sports dont really pay much here. HOw would others look at you also, even if you yourself dont mind. SG life lah.....jin sian.

Can I ask you all during the HM run, is it common to have a lot of runners halfway walking ?

Wait I feel embarrassed

Well I was walking and limping so it's common. Marathon will have more

 

[Jeremy1]

Actually do you all agreed that AngMo usually can run better than Asian ?

And those black runners from Kenya is even faster than AngMo.

Yes. Common.

Japanese outlier. Coz after keyan, Ethiopian, Uganda runners, next best country for FM is not ang mo country but japanese.

for sunday's run, i had a 10 min break and HR was already below 90 when i started the return run.

20+km is still quite a long run, maybe fatigue set in.

I did my 12.32km with 10 min break (traffic light) and the HR is still above Z2 at 5.05/km. So I worked out my relaxed pace to be high 5 min/km.

Takes a while to experiment with.

The HM was probably fun run/experience for him, he did 3.40s for 10 x 1km repeats w/ 100 jog rest, with last set @ 3.27, which is ~37 min 10k effort before the race.

If I did the same effort as him for the HM, will probably be high 1.40s or maybe 1.50 on the dot. Good to run HM for the experience. Might try HM for fun also.

Aaron did mentioned this before, he prioritise sports more than career actually. That's why his plan is to retire early so that he can focus on triathlon in his 30s.

Just started watching that guy also, he got one video he showed that he managed to become national athlete

Not sure how accurate, but seems quite legit to a noob like moi

The problem is the temperature

I ran many FM and HM, not to worry at all, you will see many walkers, not saying halfway, even after 5km you can see many have started to walk already, their mistake, to run a very fast pace at the start unless you're an elite runner

Checking last year sundown marathon results many are walkers also:
