I paid to see the segments

Honestly, free is good enough for most users

KNN the pace for their 100m at the end is low 13 seconds range.
I can only do 14s on a very good day (and not verified distance also, regardless), not that i time that many times in the past anyway.

Bro in jogging attire jogging the second half like we are doing a fast 5k

Can see how much emphasis pilates is on the iliospsoas, abdominals, erector spinae, basically whole back muscle grps....

AI Overview



Yes, high-cadence spin classes (typically >95–100 RPM) are highly dependent on neuromuscular coordination, as they require the nervous system to rapidly fire muscles, synchronize movements, and maintain efficiency without relying on high-force, muscular grinding
.
Key Aspects of Neuromuscular Dependency in High-Cadence Spinning:

• Rapid Muscle Firing: High cadence requires the nervous system to coordinate muscle contractions at a high rate, specifically training the brain to activate muscles more frequently, rather than relying on raw force (torque).
• Improved Efficiency (Pedal Stroke): High-cadence drills are specifically used to teach neuromuscular coordination, improving the smoothness of the pedal stroke and reducing the "dead spots" in the rotation.
• Reduced Muscular Load, Higher Cardio Demand: While low-cadence (grinding) puts more strain on the muscles, high-cadence shifting moves the load to the cardiovascular system, requiring the brain to coordinate rapid, lighter, and faster muscle contractions.
• Adaptation over Time: As you practice higher cadences (e.g., 100+ RPM), your neuromuscular system adapts, allowing you to sustain higher speeds with less "bounce" or loss of form, thus improving overall efficiency.

Training Benefits of High-Cadence Workouts:

• Improved Cadence "Ceiling": By practicing at high cadence (e.g., 110-120 RPM intervals), you increase your maximum usable RPM and raise your neuromuscular ceiling.
• Enhanced Cardiovascular Capacity: High-cadence pedaling is designed to boost your heart rate and VO2 max, using high-intensity, low-resistance efforts to improve cardio endurance.
• Reduced Muscle Fatigue: By shifting from a "pushing" motion (high torque) to a "spinning" motion, you reduce the strain on your leg muscles (like the quads) and reduce the overall risk of muscular failure.

Current IPPT system seems to encourage people to put their eggs in one basket lor. Last time i was perennial failure during NSF all the way till MR so i was permanent resident for RT program. At my current age, my best 2.4 timing already can score 40+ so just a few shy from 50 point passing mark.

actually where did Singapore base its 2.4km standards from? why 1.6km and 2.4km?

I think it's based on mile system. 1 mile and 1.5 miles

based on the cooper 1.5mile test

Hi all, I'm an recreational runner. Currently using an Addidas SL2.

Looking for a pair of Chinese daily trainers. My budget is SGD $100. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

one year ago but still relevant.

On a side note, I think the closest Chinese shoes to SL series is the Dynafish Xiaonian, slightly over 100.

Reading wiki, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual_physical_proficiency_test

When National Service was first introduced in Singapore in 1967, the physical fitness test included a 4.8 km (3.0 mi) run to be completed within 30 minutes, and the completion of a 9.6 km (6.0 mi) run within 70 minutes while wearing the skeletal battle order (a type of load-bearing equipment). In 1979, this test was replaced by the IPPT, which consisted of five stations: push-up, sit-up, chin-up, half-knee bend and a 2.4 km (1.5 mi) run. The half-knee bend component was removed in 1981.

wah when first intro, so shiong

Recently bought the xtep 2000km 5.0, $73 after shipping from taobao.

So far did some runs, fit is good, some slight bounce in the ride maybe cos its new, feels like a nice all around daily trainer to abuse in.
