The joy of joining half marathon ... the run ..... I get to meet people . during the adias Sundown . I get to meet a friendly western lady . She has beautiful ponytail and she was friendly and nice .She talked to everybody. I enjoy her cheerfulness as it is long time since I really need some warm and cheerfulness in my life...
She asked me ,oh no she forgotten her water. I told her ,There is waterpits on the run .Not to wory ...
And The bus stopped a few kilometres and we walk to site . By the time I run ..My LEGS WILL like SUPER LEAD as I try to carry them every last 8KM . And last 1km I struggled to climb to the finish POINt when I reach the finish point , people cheered for me .GREAT . I succeed using more than 4 hour for it .Am I fablous or what.

Sun DOWN mARATHON

 

tHIS MEDAL is super hard earned . I had struggled with aching legs to run and complete this race. I even thought I had heart attack when I just twisted my body and feel a slight pain . I guess it may be due to reflux of my gastric . I was like completely AWAKEN after the race. Thank God was my dad send me home after that . I walked out of aviation park just to meet up my dad .What amazed me when I run past the changi Moe Recreation I saw a puppy and the poor mum is barking for it ,But i cant see the mum .And the saddest thing was I LOST MY PHILIP sport ear pieces during the start of the race as I went to toilet for stomache . And I felt the mood of completing the race was GONE .But yesterday I brought a new ear piece . I dont know if I got carrot .But I dont care . I must replace my sport ear piece .

Run

Steady Run
Run at a pace that will improve heart health ,
oxygen delievery to muscles
fat ultisation and msucular endurace.
Stead runs - at comfortable pace.Able to maintiain
a conversation ,but it is not effortless=your
chatting should be slightly breathless.
30-50 min steady run .


Recovery run .
Keeo it 20=40 minues .
Try this the day after a tough session instead of resting.
Try a really easy paced recovery run for 20 minute .

Threshold running .
Threshold running Lactate or anaerobic threshold.
85 percent of thier MHR
One session per week .

2-4 * * minutes with a 2 min recovery.

Interval Training .
Focus on building speed endurance should allow less time
to recover than a ession focusing on pure speed.
1Km intervals ,You might take 2 minyte to recovery before settling off .
400 m , you might take 2-3 min
Allow your body to recovery completely each time,
while in the former session the onus is on improving endurance.
So a full recovery isnt neccessary .
Feel tired halfway through an interval session , Slow down the pace
of the run rather than increasing the length of recovery period.
One session per week of interval trianing is sufficient for marathon
and half marathon training .

Threshold session .

The Energizer Night Trail 2011 (2)




The Energrizer Night Trail 2011 photo




IT is filled with alot of people

The energizer night Trail 2011

It is a difficult night trail for me . Firstly , it is due to darkness and the mild headlight couldn’t be much of help. I got into state of panic when I saw there is no marshall on the road I was heading. And The marshall is like my only hope and light shown . I was encouraged by people who are also with me . Else I really freak out .
I had anxiety panick on the run .
The road was rocky . I was handling big stress that day .
And I nearly slipped in some of them . I think night trail is not agood idea because basically it is dark and at night all our system shut down , that caused us to be unaware to detect slippery roads and also steep slopes .
I took 2 hr 12 mins to complete a 12km trail . Whereby at daytime and flat landing , I took 1hr 45 mins to complete a 10km run .This had shown how sunlight can assist you in your running state and awareness
