Bro, the weather is brutally hot.
I am at home, already took 4th bath.
Sit still nvr mixed much also sweat.

Remember to pour water hor. There is no shame in cooling off, not a sign of weakness. Good for performance.

Guys check with you ya.
Is it necessary to bring extra sick for long walk?
To change into a fresh new one as prolong walk , the sock might be wet?
Is applying those tiger palm lotion on the toes before walk ok?

YMMV.

For me I never encountered issue of wet socks even during FM. But if you have issue with it then by all means bring a change of sock.

Some socks have very good moisture wicking like Balega Blister Resist, if you don’t mind the cost can try a pair first see if a pair can last you for entire walk.

If your back pack has space and your socks not that heavy, just pack it lor. For running, hardly change socks up til FM. I don't know about those who do ultra.

For lotion as lube, petroleum jelly like Vaseline is good enough. But I guess tiger balm , the ointment type, would work since they are oily.

My HPB steps tracker is failing. Got one day this month when it totally didn't record any MVPA from my usual run despite getting the steps.

Yesterday it only recorded 32 minutes though I ran for 41. Treadmill some more, so did not stop.

Can apply new tracker. Go to healthy365 apps book an appointment to collect.

1 chap at my place can run a fair bit faster than me, believe zone 2 or at most light tempo around 4.30? Faster low 4.00s also no breathing sounds one. Of coz he is like 20 to even 30 years younger than me. Regardless, no excuses, he is pretty fast.

But both of us relatively short distances, est prob he does around 4-6km daily type, long run would be longer like around 1 hr type. But never seen 2-3 hrs type.

Extremes lagi jialat......just came across a youtube vid, the youtuber's legs totally toast from the "short" climb (still much longer/higher than our Mt Faber), the UAE team with Tadej Pogacar only warm up zone 1.
For regular exercisers, no e-bike no talk if wanna take footage.

For me. I feel it is more difficult to run 5km in sub 23 mins. 2.4km under 10 mins than running 10km under 52mins. My best 5km run was 24 mins and 10.40min in 2.4km run last year when I was in 46 years old.

Float run? 5:30 zone 3?

Wasn’t really float. Set Garmin to auto lap at 1km, then just 1 fast, 1 slow haha. Aimed to be about 1:30-2 min/ km slower than the fast. (So was pretty slow pace for the slow)

Yeah 5:30 for this run was zone 3. Usually will be high zone 2 haha.

Nothing wrong with a sip of wine from time to time, but liquor drinking need to cut as we grow older.

I have tried Seah Im Lor mee before. The Old airport road (now at Tg pagar hawker) is slightly better.
$5 one sufficient, dont add fish or roe or what.\
Must add more garlic.


BTW for other runners/cyclists, can try Yanti Nasi Padang along Keong Saik. Just had it, solid.

Around $8, beef or mutton rendang and 1 pecadal. Dont go and add sotong or petai, quite expensive.

This location. The green colour shop

All these are suitable for performance oriented hobbyists here also.........not junk food or super ultra processed.

I went for a social gathering and ordered a strong cocktail. Next day woke up with a big headache. Really must watch what we consume.
