niike sg online store got good discounts now ... VF4 are like 140+ if thats your poison

puma sg online also have good discounts the last few days.
saw Velocity Nitro 4 @ 106 after discount. I even went to puma @313 store to try cos tempted by all the reviews.
seems very similar in feel to adi SL2, VN4 midsole foam seems softer/bouncier. But overall feel due to the drop, flexibility seems too similar to SL2 that i am used to.

This is crazy with rings + female, not only the usual muscles but also for core strength

Sheesh.... 3k 2:48 pace. 8min 24s

scary to think amateur teenagers running at 12s for 100m is not a bad feat (2min/km pace if can sustain for 1km).

And to put into perspective, Jacob Kiplimo's HM World Record is 56:42 (Barcelona HM in feb 2025), av pace @ 2:41min/km (16.1s for 100m)!

I no longer jog due to age, I now do brisk walks on weatherproof treadmills

For brisk walking, or hiking, look for motivation from @Lchlch thread here.

Saw this video as well. These girls and guys damn solid.

Recently I enjoy running like how they breakup their runs.

Eg.

2km easy
2km x 1 fast
1km x 2 fast
300m x 4 faster
80m x 4 sprint

Results not bad at all. Couple weeks back when there's cool weather, did 10km at 5.30 pace. Fastest 10k in recent years.

Some more is controlled at moderate Zone 3. Not tired.

Did not notice average pace near the end. Otherwise would have chiong last km below 4.40 to bring down timing.

Gonna continue with such runs. Feels more shiok.

Just completed an 8km jog this morning. Wanted to go 10km but weather too hot, cos started late. Well.......

Hope to do a 10km before start of 2026.

Ya sometimes when tired, I would just run easy 7km.

Then 4 x 300m fast, rest 30-35secs each rep. Enough to give runner's high to end the day.
