Finisher and singlet not bad

I believe some people only sign up for tshirts. Medal maybe not much important.

FM is 42.195km.. what so you think will HM be? And why 10km distance is not called a QM. The exact number matters in naming them HM.

Don't understand why FM must be 42.195km. Dunno who's that boliao gina who add that extra 195m? World Athletic should simplify to 42km better lah, can see more world records and even sub 2.

Almost 20K but then it's not 1 time straight.

10K then after shopping in Orchard, 8K back.

I am now not looking at pace liao. My goal is to keep jogging if I can till the finishing.

4 hours cut off, enough for you to break halfway, pang sai, eat and come back to finish and get your medal and finisher T.

Yeah I thought join tempo run would be a good first run back from injury but in the end got excited ran faster than my target pace. (their fastest pace that day was 5:00/km). Had no calf pain but hamstrings were tight after a one week break.

I think morning is really much less humid generally although last 2 days was about the same humidity as evening. Singlet all soaked despite doing slow runs

5.00/km seems relatively quick for a 10k tempo, it's always nice to have ppl to run along with for the distance.

Evening runs are usually slower than morning ones. It's something that you eventually get used to.

See how it goes next time, might join in for the long tempo runs if it is at 5.00/km.

I have C202 GT, but the base isn't as big. Good enough shoe for $300 (before discount).


Don't know how legitimate this source is but apparently Bekele got selected for the marathon.

Will hoot if PLAID price ie rmb 1000

ANTA C202 GT Pro is retailing at RMB 2099. The shoe that Bekele wore in 2024 London Marathon was C10 Pro, is retailing at RMB 2599. I guess the price for C202X will be around this region.

That's even more expensive than an Alphafly 3

within 6 days, i have ran almost 4 HM. This is the most i have ever ran/walked In a week. Body told me to stop running halfway, ended up walking some 4-5km.

A side note on the Nike Epic React Flyknit, which I have retired for walking purpose after using it for more than 4 years. It is a really nice shoe to run on, but must control within 10km. Feels great to the feet, very decent bounce, a good balance between firm and soft. Super stable and light.
