Running

Recommended Posts

1. How long have you been running?

-1 and a half years

 

2. What are your running essentials?

-less than 15km: running shoes, shorts, shirt, HRM + GPS watch

-more than 15km: all of the above plus water belt

 

3. What's your next race? Current PR?

-none planned yet. Runs are getting expensive, so have to choose which ones to join. Besides, having a GPS watch gives you the freedom to run any course and let it tell you how well you're doing. It tells you the distance covered, time and running pace. No need for marshalls or race organizers. But running in a race with plenty of participants gives you an adrenaline rush and better race results.

-5km: 0:30; 10km: 1:08; 15km 1:49 Still have lots of room for improvement

 

4. Your running goals.

-finish 21km in less than 2:30mins by December 2011.

-go for a full marathon within the next 2 years.

 

5. What made you decide to run?

-Health reasons. Running reduces blood pressure, blood sugar, uric acid and a whole lot of other stuff that if one were sedentary, he'd have to take so much medicine. Running is relatively cheaper than popping pills to keep the body healthy.

You improve fast (for a guy that took this hobby/sports for the last 15 months only)...Congrats!

Agree with Mach83 and Togalabz!

 

With proper training and discipline, you'll be able to improve your time, if that's what you're targetting. Some people like to do short runs and work on getting faster. Some people want to do ultramarathons and it's a whole lot different from running fast short distances. I'd suggest you set a goal and work towards it.

Thanks Sir! I learned it the hardway early on. I got injured by going for too much too soon. Took me months to recover from ITBS. Recovered slow and took advice from friends and more experienced runners. Now i cross-train (swim and bike) instead of AM/PM runs. haha! I also mix it up with speed workouts and hill training. But more importantly is to just have fun.. ^_^

> Would love to try 21K at first and a full marathon. That is if i'd have the time to train consistently.

 

5. What made you decide to run?

> Had too much time on my hands after finishing my studies plus you don't need a companion or buddy to pick up the sport and it allows me to savor the music that i love.
