ask a dumb question.. is the singapore marathon aka byd and previous known as SC the only "certified" race in SG? ie race time that be used for BQ or other international races

 

[WussRedXLi]

Quite sobering actually.

Worth to note that around 60-70% of folks ard at my age already has developed at least 1 medical health issue.

You didn't wait for someone selling their corporate sponsor slots.

Yes. If you want BQ and only want to race in Singapore. Anyway, Singapore left with one marathon liao.
But you can go Malaysia, they have many AIMS certified races.

Don’t want to start from Pen F again lol. Unfortunately, the marathon I am running next month is not certified one so this BYD will kinda be my A race to hit my target this year lol.

Long time never check-in this thread.

Signed up for Maybank Marathon and Amazing Thailand Marathon this year. Will be skipping BYD Marathon because I will be taking N2 exam that day.

So far enjoying running more now because now I try to keep my run to low effort, most of time Zone 1.

Jialat.

The second point, what they mean by 10 days is really the jialat medical episodes like surgery or really bad case of prolonged covid/flu which you dont even move much. When you are young, you dont lose as much.

Key Points to Remember After You Watch The Video.
1. Researchers found that aging is not a smooth slope, but a staircase with a major step around age 60 (0:58 - 1:07).

2. The first hidden reason for decline is the muscle cliff, where inactivity causes older adults to lose muscle much faster than young people (2:30 - 3:34).

3. You should load your legs with weight at least twice a week by doing things like chair stands or walking with a weighted backpack (4:25 - 4:42).

4. The second reason is anabolic resistance, meaning your muscles need more protein to get the signal to grow as you get older (6:03 - 6:58).

5. Aim to eat 35 to 40 grams of high quality protein at each of your three meals to ensure your muscles receive the right signal (7:41 - 8:07).

6. The third reason is that your stomach may not produce enough acid, which stops you from absorbing important nutrients like B12 (8:42 - 9:22).

7. You can help your digestion by eating acidic foods like apple cider vinegar or using digestive enzymes before your protein meals (12:09 - 12:28).

8. The fourth reason is inflammaging, which is a hidden, low level inflammation that burns through your body and weakens your muscles (12:40 - 14:24).

9. You should check your inflammation levels by getting a test for high sensitivity C reactive protein (HSCP) (14:43 - 14:55).

10. The fifth reason is that weak grip strength is a major predictor of health, so you should use a hand tool to track your strength (20:10 - 20:55).

11. You can improve your grip strength by holding heavy things while walking or by hanging from a bar (22:15 - 23:02).

12. To stay healthy, focus on getting deep, restorative sleep so your body has time to repair itself every night (15:35 - 16:16).

Jialat I used so many Garmin Forerunner ie 45, 945, 955, 265, 570

The 570 AMOLED died on me less than 9 months.

Luckily warranty covered by Convergent.

Same day replacement. So easy.

Still using my Garmin 965 for 3 years already. Actually I expected more from a $700 smart watch. I wear it to track my sleep but if I wake up at 3am and went back to sleep again.. the watch won't count my sleep after that ...although I slept more than 6 to 7 hours that night. It counted as 4 hours sleep..

Im still using my Huawei GT Runner ($170-180 watch but mine discounted to 120 coz gonna disconti nue in 2022). Since late 2022 My wife also has one working a-ok, but last year she lost it in hospital during IV medication drip so changed to apple now.

I think can use at least 2 more years wrt the battery capacity/health, batt quite good durability.... since last year i already try to manually stop charging at 80-85% by using alarm function on my phone to alert. Somemore is for cycling, last time as many as 20 hrs / week (for HR, but lanlan GPS also switched on coz workout mode).

My kid uses better watch than me.

edit - only "issue" is that it only has 4GB of storage, so i need to delete songs before adding. 8-12GB would be very nice.....dont really need simi 32 or 64GB. (coz 128kbps mp3 nia).
Wah....just searched, nowadays they pushing 128GB already, with 5G connectivity
