Wah i never knew it is so close.

• Werro's Best: 1:53.80 (Paris, late June).
• Hodgkinson's Best: 1:54.33 (Stockholm, early June).
• The Gap: Just 0.53 seconds separates their personal bests, putting them both in the all-time top 7 in history
• Bol's Best : 1:56.46 <- maybe trim half or one sec

Ok, now that you've said it.......well it's gonna be in UK, then the more interesting it gets

Haha ya last time I ran with compression tights. Bump will show.

lucky my daily run route nothing "exciting".. except when I do longer runs and loop into the marina bay area. that's why most of the time I turn into ecp from kallang park connector instead of going to the city to smell the flowers

Was actually curious what will happen to my speed during a half past 6 marathon training block but seems l

If not for me pressing the wrong button, I think this would be a 8.23-8.25 2.4km run.

This year goal was to hit Sub 830 but guess I need to try sub 820 the next time round already.

Shindo botak PB by ~ 1 min, 32:33, in summer heat.

Unfortunately Daisy didnt quite make the sub 16 she wanted in an official race. (she did 15:58 in 1 previous parkrun)

edit - took place at 22 deg C. Maybe just need to see and wait later in the year and hope for the best.

Remember the last time we discussed about the courses being horribly short? (9.1 for 10km)


I was just browsing thru again for Trifactor @ ECP, seems like lagi short. 13.2 for 15k. (ie 8.8k for 10km)
So very possibly even lagi shorter than Skechers 10k 2023.

Cant be GPS is off by so much for such a straight course also, from my experience at BEG with similar foilage coverage and google map measurements. I mean, at least for my Huawei GT Runner lah.

for run swim run mine is usually longer cause they mark it as 5.25km one loop and 10.5 2 loops but usually the 10.5km for me is 10.7-10.8km about there on my watch

What warm up and down exercise do you all do / recommend ?

 

[WussRedXLi]

SRY talks about SA again.

He wants to slap people coz stupid Qs were asked.

 

[WussRedXLi]

What warm up and down exercise do you all do / recommend ?

Personally already more or less lazy and just do the few dynamic swings, A and B skips to get things up and then strides. But then i usually run total distance 3-4km as workout stimulus, quite often slight progressive pace. Cool down just run slower and stretch a bit while waiting for lift or even at the fitness corner doing my other basic calisthenic exercises.

Subas this year in 6:43 shape for 2.4 sia.

Need to see how Shaun will run this.
