indeed. The teams are well supported financially by the local corporations. The talented runners are guaranteed employment and continue their running career professionally after graduation, complete with a salary, housing, and job security.This type high chance just become corporate ekiden runners and run till after their prime, then can do coaching.
Housing and other living needs are given as additional benefits.
Talking about big corporations also, like Honda. JR, Kanebo etc...confirm still guaranteed decent role and salary guarantee (job security) after running prime. If you know about Japan, senior "CBL" not frowned upon there and wont be obselete unless whole company goes down under, unlike here in SG where high chance nowadays sure tio pok.
reading thru rednote, some ppl say need change the shoelace and insole layer. do u think need to change?
main issue is the inherent characteristics of the midsole.
Think the previous guy was probably asking about xiaonian not the novablast.
Nope only at the end, but the start was quite crowded though not too severe of a crowd. I wanted to reach 4.20 min/km by 7km, and I did it.
I have to get used to taking gels every 30 minutes and adapt to it. Will be unnatural at first but eventually will find one that works for me.Actually I can help a bit on the fueling part.....only difference is that mine is cycling.
For me and my kid, we always cramp our back pockets with full of snacks, various stuff but usually is the harder stuff and it includes dry stuff like Oreos, needing water intake if not really choking feeling.
No scientific basis or timings like every 20-30 mins or what, but we eat very often. The idea is to make it like muscle memory for the stomac, rinse and repeat and rinse and repeat, even shorter workouts also make it a point to take something. If wanna practice the consistency aspect, can try melted chocolate + a bit of water. (body heat would melt it).
When doing longer routes like LCK/Neo Tiew, i even pack my $2 sandwich....2 breads, tuna and mayo inside, i buy 1 day beforehand from bakery. Stop at bus stop, makan.
With my kid, we even could take 1 full bowl of bak chor mee/fishball, makan, then hoot after that. Or like yesterday, 1 full bowl of $4 porridge (ming kee porridge at West Coast Market) and stomach full of porridge then continue journey liao, no rest. But note, this is only lower intensities like zone 2 for my kid, who also dont puke/have GI issues despite having nearly full stomach full of food. We are talking about 80-100km of mileage for the kid on a foldie.
Over time, the fuel intake is of a higher importance than GI issues, the body learns one, make your body learn it this hard way.
I find that over time, your stomach really learns and compensates.....
Like just now, i was doing my short workout (ard 45 mins of intervals only) and i just had 3 of Duplo bars......simply coz i dont do pre workout BF one lah Totally no issue nowadays, unless if you going very very hard.
After every run,you wash your shoes?!!!!!
Was this your first HM race? Wah you didn’t take any gels for this race? Or did you? Anyway, quite decent splits for your first race if that is.
wash & dry
wash and dry it quickly. so far none of my shoes have glue issues
Wah I wish I am as clean as you haha. But honestly I got no time to wash daily haha. So I rather rotate daily haha
I was in Japan during the Ekiden the race. The coverage of the event is world class and the event is so seriously taken. You can easily watch the whole race on normal TV and nothing was gatekeep between a paywall. The professionalism of the coverage blows anything away any sporting coverage that our region has done. After the race, the winners were invited to their talk show to recap the race.
character flaw...bobian
Across 2 days, there were 56.2million ppl tuned in to watch live.
I wonder if this was streamed live for free in Singapore, how many of us will actually watch? Haha
