Found this run by this South African triathlete guy (professional though)
With a sub 8 3k, i have no qualms believing he is capable of sub 14 5k, below 14 min comfotably even.


Regardless, though it's road + GPS , as usual im really just in for the entertainment and in awe of these fellas somemore non purely runners.
And that's with some altitude change, it's not pan cake flat like a track.


Seriously Im in no position to comment it's not a legit attempt coz it is road + GPS. I am just
a regular hobbyist doing cycling and running.

If it makes anyone here happy, just rate him to be a 14:00 5k PB runner lor. *shrugs*

5k is not full vid, but i am not doubting it.
Coz 3k full vid for second vid.
Sub 8.

Not referring to the youtube video. Really got to make you point across in so many posts. In no way I say these runners are slow. Like how I acknowledge you are fast. Your ball park figure proves that. But I can be anal when someone claim a PB of a few seconds when it is not a measured course. If the improvement is like 22min to sub 20 minutes with GPS data, ya, I won't hesitate to agree that this guy had make significant progress, but if he PB by 10 seconds with GPS data, sorry , I won't celebrate his progress for him.

This tri chap siao lang fast also.... but he changed to doing triathlons from running during his younger days.

Dont know about the true accuracy unfortunately coz it's virtual and using his watch so of coz not directly comparable....but if it isn't too terribly far off, this is literally nearly like Jakob Ingrebrigtsen fast @ 13:13.66 (of coz climbing podiums in international running races is yet another story )

NZ Triathlete Hayden Wilde
13:21 5k @ NZ Virtual Champs in 2020
(this one virtual of coz, bo bian covid era)

"Quote"

“I ran a little 1.2km loop in Tauranga where we carry out our Saturday sessions,” he explains of the blistering run. “That day there was not a breath of wind and I just went for it. I went through the first 1km in around 2:40 and then I had a couple of sub 2:40 kms. I then just tried to hold on for as long as I could, just waiting for the 5km mark. When I looked down at my watch and I saw 13:21 it was pretty unbelievable. At the time I felt pretty good, but it must have been the adrenaline because for the next few days I was in pain!”

Wondering anyone here purchase the iTab for the SCSM ?

Yes, i gotcha..... I agree that a few seconds wont matter as it's totally within the error of margin with GPS.

Even for my own runs, that is why i post sometimes 5.02, 5.04, as much as 10.21/10.34 even....then i calculate back to 5.00 or 10.00km just for reference only, nothing serious.

eg even for easy run slower paces it will over run (this one last year)

Second factor is a wierd reason :

Even if I set the end distance to be 5.00km or 10.00km, im not totally sure why the stupid GT Runner takes some time to react and give that voice notification that "You have reached the set distance" and then i press the watch button, fast or slow paces same. EVen though the distance has turned 5.00 or 10.00km, it still takes a while to react. Wierd one.

And it does not auto pause/stop also, dont know why they program it this way. Die die must user press the watch side button, so confirm there will be a delay.

But well, i guess that's why it's a Huawei. And my wife still cannot sync her music on iphone to her Huawei only android phones possible, it's just impossible and even the forum users say so.
I think next watch she will dump Huawei and go for Apple iphone sua...which probably is very soon.

Wow you really can dig out stats (and probably remember majority of them), next time i sure ask you liao.
My brain and memory sliding...... 7:36 is crazy fast for kid

I think it was you that you mentioned your nephew or what is below 8 mins age 11-12 thereabouts? (Pri 6 is the first 2.4k that they'll run so i am assuming is this pri 6 age).

Don't be surprised, there are a lot of fast ppl these days



This girl managed to run 1:28:47 at 19 y.o.

She is a duathlete

My opinion (just based on reviews, not personal experience) of the Huawei is their GPS sensor is as good as Garmin or Coros. But HR a notch better than the others. Your wife issues is more on functions. LOL . I will still recommend the Huawei to anyone who just started their journey but don't want to spend too much.

According to SRY, those wearing singlet for easy days are dressed wrongly. LOL.. I guess I over dressed for a easy day.

Jezuz, this girl barely stopped puberty and so accomplished already. She is like less than 2 mins from Vanessa.
Cycling (whether is got races or not) is one thing but training for dualthlons is a bit different and could be a big deciding factor.

19 yr old that time i only start ***.......

I delayed entering NS at 22 yr old, my 2.4 that time failed. Actually i failed everything in BMT, ie SOC failed IPPT failed. That's why after BMT i went Airforce airbase become nua peng.

Single vs t-shirt for easy runs.....

Some triathletes wear tri suit do easy runs one. But that i shall not comment ba. They really gotta get used to the suit etc and probably is training in that specific aspect as well.

Even the Kristian blummenfelt 5k i posted earlier he was racing in a tri suit, vs ard 10 other runners in typical running gear.

One major good thing is that in vast majority of the cases, you go run FM in it also no chafing issue. (eg for Ironman). Nipple chafing, groin chafing being the 2 most common areas.
T100 middle distance is around half marathon distance.

Aerodynamics of the boundary layer trip lines or aero dots on the shorts area and sleeves/shoulder area not sure how much it'd help...in theory it is considered marginal gains. 22kmh is not slow and the effect is measureable.

Thermal regulation via skin tight spandex sometimes not terribly bad vs a loose singlet actually if it is not too warm (overseas).

Always see the center girl in every race I run this year.

Super fast, I was running quarter way and she already running back on my way.

 

[WussRedXLi]

Those interested can try this seller. I got one set to try, im interested in the door stopper device in which you can clip the bands to, can try out some more different pulling exercises, currently my inverted row is pretty limited in pull training......that's the only consistent pull training that i have, other than the occasional negative pull ups for repping. (i can only do 3-4 pull ups so not exactly useful as reps)

Is using the latex bands for the 60 to 80lb versions.
For guys here ( dont think here got girls) I'd prefer you go as heavy as possible, the lighter ones are a bit useless.

The 2 band ones (60-80 pounds) is only 42rmb, direct shipping 18 rmb. Can place in comments when ordering whether you want 60, 80 or 70, 80 pounds, or even 80, 80 pounds for the 2 bands.
The 10-50lb ones are TPU, not latex.....but still pretty ok if you waat those.

Latex same material as those resistance bands you see @ Decathlon.

Vanessa Lee, she holds the national record for 5k. IIRC 17:26 17:28 or something. Goh Chui Ling not far behind, think like 5-6 seconds slower only, She (Goh Chui Ling) broke the > 2 decades old previous record some time middle of this year and then like barely 1 month later Vanessa beat hers.

Maybe GCL might snatch it back soon. lol

I think she is the older among the other 2 ?

I saw her run on my opposite lane back that time was not actually running and infact sprinting to me

 

[Jeremy1]

They run so often won't have any injuries one meh ?

Yeah Vanessa i think already past 25.

The other lady not sure the pic is small . The small one is 19 yrs old, i think your kid also older lol.
edit - oh the other lady shd be Jasmine Teo, well known.....confirm not young but not sure about the age.

Sure have lah.....just a matter of able to recognise it and see doc (physio /physical therapist) to quickly arrest the progression and receive the best treatment / rehab so that can get back to training asap, or do any other cross training etc. Not cycling but really specific things like aqua running.
Then other things like specific strength training esp in detected weak areas and balance out muscle imbalances to minimise risks further cuts down risks. Esp true for those Team SG fellas in sports school, Singapore Sports Institute.

For us play hobby is just whack in whatever preventive measures and hope for the best. If got more money spend it on online program online coaches Quite rare to get face to face coaching in training session unless top level national athlete....,maybe some hobbyists got $$$ to burn but unlikely for running.

I think aerobically, she is more talented than Vanessa. Don’t think Vanessa could have ran that fast of HM at 19. But speed wise, I would say she is not the best. She did the uni 6km road relay and got 2nd this year. 1st girl is a 8.37-8.38 runner in Pocari Sweat Run 2.4km. She should be slightly slower.

Basing on her Instagram , her pain tolerance likely to be another level. Maybe because duathlon training. Have good endurance scaling.

Her form is solid. If you have her running form as a guy, you will likely be 15 minutes 5k runner.

GCL is more focused on 5/10k, she used to run SEA Games 1.5k and get medals. Vanessa have said she doesn’t like to focus and prefer a wide range. 1.5k, 3k steeplechase to HM. I would give GCL the heads up in terms of speed since she is the 2.4K national record holder after all.

Strength and conditioning in gym, short distance sprinters do a lot of that. Long distance do that less but still good to do that.

Speaking of this, I had runner’s knee on my right knee for 2-3 weeks last month. Resting didn’t help much until I prescribe myself the jump squat workout 150 sets back to back last week and my runner’s knee fade away.
