jogging and motivation thread

[Jeremy1]

Thanks bro, my area don’t have any Sgp active gym ..sigh..

yesterday, I tried 10km jog which usually I jog max 8km…
I managed to complete 10km in a super slow time of 1 hr 47 min average 10.30 km/hr..hahahahah
this morning wanted to try, but too lazy…

Yes, the golden rule is to go slow and when you continue to jog, your speed should automatically pick up.

If you can maintained this pace, you can go for HM run liao

Thanks bro for your advise and encouragement.

my super slow speed for 10km I tried yesterday, constant average speed I checked is 10.40km/hr.
if I maintain this speed from the beginning, I think I have no problem complete the 10km run.

but bro, you know lah, when start, you see runners speeding, you automatically tried to run abit faster and that is a bad mistake as I might completely breadthless not even reach 5 km.

That's why don't pace them. We are not young anymore and also don't pace those old season runners.

That time when I sold my Garmin Watch to a fellow. He was also a runner in his 50s retired like me and he also said to me the same thing.

Half Marathon 21.1Km run need to complete within 4 hours.

With your pace of 10.4km per hour, can complete within 4 hours if you can maintained this pace throughout the run.

21.1Km I haven't tried before yet.

But if you can complete the 10Km at about 1 hour n 40 minutes. You base on this timing and calculate. Your HM should be able to complete within 4 hours.

By completing the HM, you'll get the finishing Tee Shirt and the medal so when you wear this Tee Shirt and walk outside, everyone will wow at you

They said walk but I think it's up to individual.

Anyway, this one only 5Km can go super easy.

There's quite a lot of runs, my plan was to sign up for 10k runs in the evening. And I already missed out on two that already happened.

1. Bizad Charity Run (supposed to happen in March usually, end up shift to January)
2. Run for Light (happened in March)

yeah unfortunately will just take note of those and run next year

I wasn't in 10k shape during that time, so it's probably going to be worse than my Sketchers Run

This is a very good episode on how important it is to know your 5km all out and to do it properly for consistency to check if you have improve. The first good informations for a new runner from a 5km all out is your Threshold HR, and Pace, coz that how you are going to zone your intensity realistically. Else you will see people, running in pseudo zone 5 for more than 30 minutes in their watch, coz of the default max HR most watches uses if you don't set up properly.

I dont know why but i think 2.4k distance or even 3K is also possible to attain a max HR value already.....just a feeling. Must not be afraid to try though. 5k times 2 the distance is quite siong for many beginners or even intermediate. Esp with the current weather here
