they have up to 15km

That 15% discount off regular priced items, quite worth the money to participate in the race.

Not too sure if it applies to multiple shoe purchases

Replaced with army challenge last year. Became a virtual 60 days mileage competition between Oct - Dec. As long as you register, you get the free singlet delivered to you. And if you hit top 600 mileage, then you can get a bottle. Walking was counted as mileage as well.

I managed to hit 600km on the last day for the biggest achievement (I walked 10-12km to make up the total, the remaining 590km was pure running). Final ranking was 171.

Do you guys finding running these days tougher? I feel like I sweat more , my running singlet get wet more and post run, super uncomfortable

it also cause irritation to skin more

Running in Singapore is like that one, cannot avoid one

Can one, don't get caught in the atmosphere and start off too fast

I run 3-5km only (workout), top already pretty drenched even though at my place it is generally ~ 1 deg C lower than at ground level. Bottom still somewhat dry enough for shoes not to get wet.

Even with cycling, despite enormous wind cooling, the perspiration visible on the arms and legs at traffic lights where you might wait for 1-2 mins, is still quite obvious esp at some parts like Upp Thomson/Mandai, N Punggol, Seletar, Kranji/LCK/Neo Tiew where there is dew hanging in the air, ie 95% and above, whereby as long as you perspire even any tiny bit, it stays there as there is literally zero evaporation.

been bumping up my daily distance by a few km recently, and didn't even realize I had run an extra 2km loop

Humidity very high in the evening and night for the past 2 weeks. Even temp is like 28c, it is quite uncomfortable.

 

[DigDub]

Ya recently run very humid, slower pace and heart rate higher.

 

[cherynsq]

It’s very difficult to run like that without causing heat rash

same same for mornings. Doesn't affect daily miles under 10-12k. But for workouts and longer distances can be quite a challenge.

I try not to! That’s my mistake last year. The last 6km was terrible and I didn’t enjoy it

My treadmill run for tonight. 3x10km, 1x3km, 5-10mins break in between.

today also marks my 1000km for 2026~~~ thanks everyone for the encouragement and advice!!

At your paces, think you'd better practise your fuelling rate and amounts solidly soon and decide on a possibly game plan, be it liquid, solid or whatever mix, either you bring it along with you or have someone who is dedicated enough to track + hand the liquid/solid nutrition to you over the course..........

Dont have to aim for high rates like 90-120g/hr range esp if you are not after that last 1-2 mins bit of performance, but still to avoid even half-bonking (ie you are not bonked till walking yet but you are also far from your great running shape), your fuelling still must be decent.

^^^^^
Your last 3k, if fueled properly, it might be entirely possible that you are still not as exhausted and are able to maintain close to your 5:18 pace for the previous 10k rep. Just a possible example, if you had not used much fuel at all. They found that good fuelling greatly improved TTE / Time to Exhaustion.
Or put it this way, you can run another 10km rep at slightly higher paces.




Fueling is critical for both runners, but it is chemically more demanding for the 4:45 min/km runner due to their higher reliance on glycogen (carbohydrates) for energy. While the slower runner will be on the course for a longer duration, the faster runner burns fuel at a much higher intensity, creating a higher risk of "hitting the wall" sooner.

Fueling Differences by Pace

Feature	4:45 min/km Pace (approx. 3:20 marathon)	6:30 min/km Pace (approx. 4:35 marathon)
Primary Fuel Source	High reliance on carbohydrates (glycogen)	Higher percentage of fat oxidation
Burn Rate	High intensity; burns glycogen rapidly	Lower intensity; glycogen lasts longer
Risk Factor	Depletion rate: Risk of running out of glycogen in 90–120 minutes	Duration: Risk of total caloric deficit over 4.5+ hours
Target Carb Intake	60–90g of carbs per hour	30–60g of carbs per hour
