I HAD FINISHED THE 25KM

 

PASSION RUN when I reached the ending POINT

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 .

Today ,,,WorKout Log

Today's Workout
Run 3 KM at a pace of about 16:02 per KM -- for a total time of 48:06. The pace of 16:02 is just a good guideline. Anything close to it is fine, as long as the pace feels comfortable.

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

30 Min 1.9Km .

It is since I came back from U run 350 . I work out .

I am suffering from chronic pain after the barefoot running experience.

So you just massage it away with Zumba .

I took Codeine from Doctor and the pain went away yesterday .

Achilles Tendon ..With mY five fingers ...

But for all the technological advances promoted by the industry — the roll bars, the computer chips and the memory foam — experts say the injury rate among runners is virtually unchanged since the 1970s, when the modern running shoe was introduced. Some ailments, like those involving the knee and Achilles’ tendon, have increased.

10km- 1h 24 mins, North east Trail Run 2011

The run yesterday North east run was down .
THere were only 10 runner. This cause extreme stress.
The roads was very windy and filled with stones , and if you dont catch hold properly you will sprainked the ankle.
But at overall I complete with 45 mins walk and 15 mins run . I thinking about how to improve my running . I realised Subba is a no different from other. He is not willingly to wake up early to accompany for my sports ,but he is fast to think about itself. Okay I gave up . I just be myself. Yoda said right .No expectation and let nature take it course.
