No lah. 5 mins is a very fast and tough pace for me. I ran 5.35 mins / km this time where I feel very much relaxed.
Normally I aim below 5.30mins/km for HM..and my HR on average is 155 to 160 liao. Actually every 5 to 10 sec faster per km made a lot of difference for me.

But that's easily 10 km can complete within an hour

As long u run and feel better and healthier are enough . Timing is not important! Maybe u can aim to run 5km under 35 mins. Then slowly reduce to 33 and then 31 and below 30 mins.

Need to cut down a fair bit of mileage or racewalk first........ If you dont have any issues with your GI then can try a bit of NSAIDs and see if it helps (discontinue if it does not).

Then do the basics and commonly affected stuff.
Strengthen glutes, and strengthen anterior tibialis. The glutes strenthening important.
Can just do free form first, then maybe add in some resistance (bands) if you feel got effect and relief.


Then in future, need to strengthen lah. Core etc.

Cyclists I see many also same pattern. Problem here problem there.
Super duper strong quads but super duper weak hammies. Imabalanced till no tomorrow......and not forgetting most do not like running which at least get a bit of hammy work done.

Last time I thought running has to land on the heel and lift off on the mid. Then I worn those zero drop shoe to correct my run and now I land on the mid and lift off using the toes. I don't have any knee discomfort at all.

Actually was thinking about this a few months ago but put it off for whatever reasons then.......like not easy to get (ebay only)

But i believe it is about time now, the time is ripe.

Is this pace good enough for a 45-50 male?

1:52:48 for 19.51 km.

Cool weather to run yesterday. I ran easy and didn't suffer any leg ache after that. Managed to keep my HR lower than 150. Usually to get sub 2 for HM. My HR is usually above 150.

I ran non stop without any hydration and gel. I could have ran a bit more like 25km if I have opportunity to drink water .

How come you get faster and faster after 10km?
Mine is like 5:45/km plus minus 5s.

Buy for amateur play play is can. not pro anyway. It should work for us. Getting stuff like Lactate Plus (Nova biomedical) the shipping and test strips can kill.

11/11 - S$186 for meter + 25 strips. Can get more strips, but note sure got expiry one, and with TB it isn't a priority.
Actually next monday 21st oct can hoot already, is already 11.11 price.


Lancets of coz get from shopee (eg Accuchek), alcohol swabs also (needed for field use, for blood glucose i just hoot my ispropanol + tissue and DIY at home dont bother getting sterile swab packets)

I don't usually drink for my half marathon in a cooler weather. Probably 10km onward with lot of water loss. My weight become lesser and tend to run faster ? Then after 15km to 16km onward. also don't need to conserve energy and able to go all out liao.

 

[WussRedXLi]

Lai liao lai liao x 2


Her last 1.6k also faster than my 1.6k PB, totally smoked by her i cant even smell smoke in fact.
Last 800m on a very good day maybe i can fight no issue but that's about it.....
