Shaun doing track 10km in 3 weeks to try to get into that for sea games but I think based on his timings should be no problem. I thought the Gurkhas would be faster tbh. Haha
https://web-stag.asiancline.com/latest-news/33rd-southeast-asian-games-2025 >> SEA games criteria

Sub 33 10k and Sub 15:30 5k to qualify for the 2 slots.

Shaun should be an easy pick. As for the next slot, Soh Rui Yong is going for 10k/Marathon, pending SNOC :ROFLMAO: . Jon Lim should be up next to go for SEA games but unfortunately, I checked his strava and he is still nursing an injury and also made this post recently:

So, the next person to be selected, not too sure. Keane Ko is good, but his times can't qualify him for 5k/10k. But he ran 2:33:57 recently and probably should be selected for marathon team this year.

>> his goal is marathon qualification for SEA Games

Gurkhas >> Subas Gurung is the fastest (6.46) but he hasn't been running much after hitting 1:04 HM national record for Nepal last year. Recently ran unlabelled runner at 35 min and came in first still. But not in his old form.
how young is aaron btw?
21km @ 4:19/km with 160bpm avHR
easy & conversational pace
27, I don't think it's entirely easy but definitely within steady state (2.5). Definitely a pace he can hold for marathon.
The whole thing



C div girl impressed me the most, 8.41 at 14 years old (I am guessing), can already run down uni girls and join the elite field women. Will expect her to be the new generational runner.

You know of any 60-61 yr old faster than this fella? CCP5 ride.
Other than Poon of coz

Not that I know anyone stronger at his age. The strongest around 65 yo or higher I seen from piston racing could hit rolling top speed 45 kph thereabout, not sure what's his highest record. During covid period his health got affected. Which Poon, is it James?

what non-cardio exercise do you do ?
No non-cardio exercise. I only run, don't do strength/gym training or cross training and run 2 pace only: threshold and easy Z1 pace, no other workouts or speedwork. i don't think anyone was ever injured during easy runs, correct me if I am wrong.

I had Achilles tendon injury before. It just strike me when I did my long run in east coast park when i was in area F and my car was parked at near fort road there. Have to walk back the half of east coast park distance. It took me 2 weeks to recover.

Another injury was gluteus medius. Very sharp pain on my hip.. caused by changing of running shoe that is way too firm and hard . I was so used to wear my saucony endorphins speed and ran about 1500km without shoe rotation. . This injury dragged me almost off and on for 2 months. I have to limit my each run less than 7km during that period.
What pace do you do your long run at? Do at Z1 you should be ok

Oh I dunno him then. I rode with some division/unit RSMs though. They are nice and humble.

I saw the video as well. Monkey see monkey do. If u are a rider in between, also very hard for u to stop. Riders behind might crash into you. Best is don't ride with fast group.

My recent long run up to 27km . My pace is 5:35min/km. Is my zone 3 or 4

I haven't sign up for SCSM full marathon ..I want to make sure my long can go up to 32 to 35 km then decide
No need run at Z3 I feel. Juz Z1 for the entire long run (keep to 2 hours) should be fine, or juz add some Z4 intervals inside. Alot of difference I feel when you run Z1 Vs Z2. Like that you machiam running an actual marathon alr at Z3/Z4.
