i hate running/jogging and i only jog cause i feel more energetic after sweating. swimming better. swim in hot weather damn shiok and can show off sexy body

My take as someone who swims and gyms over running:
1. Running is more accessible; not everyone has convenient access to a pool.

2. Swimming can be quite monotonous. It's akin to running on a treadmill. I swim 40 continuous laps per session, and counting laps can be rather tedious. Runners have the option to run along scenic routes.

3. For beginners, it may be harder to see improvements in swimming since technique matters more. It's easier to see improvements in running, such as being able to run faster, or for longer distances, which I think can boost one's motivation to continue.

Because not everyone know how to swim.
Also swimming need to go to pool, whereas running is free.

Running n jogging or even walking are very common.

I also not swimmer and can only swim if my leg can touched the floor

What's the purpose of easy days. Easy days are not the time you worry about undertraining. Rather the focus is not to tax your body while you base build. So it's alright if you suddenly drop to zone1 (niko niko running is all about this zone). Worry about under training on your LSD and high intensity days (in Kofuzi term, Quality days). You will need a fresh body for the quality days, while not losing the base building part during the (non quality days).

correct, as a BBFA, the tummy is a good reason not to swim and get embarassed.

GST SGD 5.85
Booking fee SGD 3.54

I also watched their video

The question is their stride is much much more even when they are just easy run.

Wah where in Bangkok? I'm going there this month.

The recommended shoe really fits you very well? How do the prices there compare to SG?

Any Supersports store in Bangkok, at the running section. The recommended shoes were unavailable in my size. Prices are slightly higher, but didnt factor in any tax refund (if eligible).

What you are seeing is a snapshot of their current state of fitness after many years of regular running. Nobody starts out like tat one.

Should swim more to burn the belly fats

Swimming isn't the most time-efficient when it comes to burning fats. The calories burnt per hour of swimming is easily 25-30% lesser than running due to its non-weight bearing nature. But swimming is still a good form of cardiovascular x-training or for strength training to improve running (hold the board and just kick 40-50 laps).

I use aqua shoes when I was injured with shin splint by running on the stadium track. I used to be minimalist and still believe that this form of running really can train the claves muscles. But my aqua shoes from Qoo10, about $10 only.

It does, except pple who transit to this style of running tend to be over-zealous n do it too fast too far, resulting in calf strains. Had a period when many patients came in for that which coincided with the peak popularity period of the vibram 5-fingers in sg a long time ago.
