Idea for some of you here if you are doing leg bounds.





Plyo and calves.

thanks for sharing. you are a good role model to keep me going and don't slack

besides all these training and conditioning, i also need to loose weight... 171cm @ 73-76kg now. Need to cut down to approx. 65-68kg, less burden on my legs

Not role model lah...... i just treat as hobby and it becomes more and more enjoyable, and right now is cycling as hobby but running helps cycling so definitely gotta do some workouts as well.

Lose weight ah.....i remember then in 2022 and 23, i was cutting out quite a fair bit of carbs, my cai png all less rice one, and i was drinking pokka green tea as beverages, literally no sugar. That got me real thin and probably affected the quality of the workouts as well coz probably insufficient glycogen etc, but then again i wasnt running high mileages per session. Now i know better but anyway for cycling you cannot do that, sure bonk until gaolat.

lol my beverage nowadays is 100% natural coconut water. And i cannot quit carbo (one day only one meal with carbo, usually lunch) cos if i don't eat carbo, i will feel less energy when i run. vicious cycle.
lowest recorded weight was ard 70.5kg, when my monthly mileage was high, near 200km.

Now then i know this is standing psoas march. Seems like i had been doing a bit wrong over the past 2 years tho..... need to lean a bit forward and keep abs/core engaged

This one together with the TFL one is another must do for cyclists and runners esp for office workers with low daily steps count.

Last time whenever i visit the wife's indon hometown, 1 medium size coconut (actually quite large relative to what we see here) of around 800-900ml water + meat is 5000 rp nia. That time around S$0.80. Sometimes can get over 1000ml if you can get the large ones.
Now also around 80 cents ba. 12500rp = 1 SGD.

Batam much more expensive. Around $2. I drank like 2-3 times the past weekend, in addition to Kopi Kenangan and Fore kopi. Fav is Kopi Kenangan Mantan and Fore coffee Butterscotch sea salt, the former one SG does not have. I also like Kopi Kenangan's Caramel Machiatto.

SG, forget it, smal small one already like $4-5....maybe around 500ml nia. That means like $8 - 10

Seems like good reviews for easy and short runs

rural indo, malaysia, thailand, fresh coconut are still affordable. always enjoy one in the hot sun.

Just sharing....... hope @sph777 can tio Tokyo.
(your first cold weather marathon?)
Fwah Tokyo 2026 is on 26 Feb, damn solid weather.


Actually I am wondering if our trainings on warm nights or warm mornings qualify as heat training.
Of course, the thing is that, like altitude training, in order to really take advantage, you need to go to a cooler place to race. Like you can't really set a WR for running at higher altitudes.

Our heat index (I feel) temperature usually is at least 35 deg on those %@#$#% warm nights/warm mornings.

Like this morning, it is 34.6 deg C heat index now. it's even a warm morning to be honest having rained all over the region and being overcast the whole of yesterday and rained the day before.

35 deg C, min 30 mins duration.
Adaptations as quickly as 5 sessions. Possible that if the plan is go to overseas FM, just heat train 4-5 weeks prior can liao, still more than enough time to taper. We actually have sorta an advantage that quite a few ang mohs do not have.
Adaptations seem to be pretty lasting and robust.

Also, the way to do it probably is best to do it during lower intensity, shorter sessions less siong weeks (deload week?). Coz if done during the siong sessions, seems to be no better than control group with similar .

Side note : Dont get the gummies as depicted in the vid. Get the powder form. Quite a few gummies tested got no creatine one.

Must be cold too. Actually if can have access to that over here for our training sessions as isotonic hydration is damn shiok.
Like a non sweet 100 plus but less intense taste, can really hoot a lot and still not feel overwhelming. I can literally hoot close to 1L of coconut juice in a 5 min window.

Alas, coconut juice too expensive here.
