Break through in training

Went running with my running mate at East Coast Park on 16 jun 2012. Finally I manage a run beyond 17 km, we covered about 20.92 km according to my Polar device in 2 hours 1 min 10 sec. He is definitely the fitter runner, I manage this with his help. Looking forward to the next run. I ran the half at Sundown event on 26 may 2012, finished in 2hr 17 min

Run watch

Just purchased a Polar RS300X sd on 12 May 2012 and tried it out this morning. Covered 14.3km in 1 hr 30 min 12 sec. I am motivated to run further as I am now able to quite accurately know the distance I am covering with the foot pod and GPS.

Half marathon

Completed a half marathon on Sunday morning at the 350 run, finished in a pb of 2hours 4min 12sec. Ran a consistent race almost through out the course. This is an improvement of about 9 mins over my previous best. Started in the middle of about 4 thousand runners at about 6.15 am, at a slow pace of probably 7 min per km. I was comfortable running a slow pace, I was actually thinking its a long race, take it slow and pick up the pace as the race progress. I was feeling good the first 3 to 4 km, reaching 5km in 28min 47 sec. I  though to myself, good progress, lets keep a comfortable pace. The next 5 km was smooth for me, not fast, about 6 to 6.15 per km. I hit the 10 km mark in 58m 14 sec. The 11 km mark was around the Singapore Indoor Stadium, it was about 1hr 4min plus. Still feeling good at about 14 km mark at the Nicoll highway, but started to feel a little tired. I was comtemplating whether I should pop a pack of gel, but resisted as I have not seen anyone doing so.

Run a 10 km

Just ran a 10 km at the stadium near where I live in 53min 0.33 sec, 25 laps of a standard 400m track in a pair of adizero Ace 3m on saturday 14 April 2012. Doing my 4th JP Morgan run Singapore on 19 April 2012, hope to complete in under 27 min.

Financial Crisis - Sub Prime

The recent bout of sub prime news seems scary. A big investment bank going bust overnight. Whose fault is it ? Is the worst over for the US and European investment banks ?

JP Morgan Run

Into my 3rd run this year 2008, hopefully can finish in under 27 mins.

Marathon

Just completed my 4th marathon on 2 Dec 2007 in a time of 5 hr 31 min 7 sec which is a PB. Hopefully next year I can go sub 5 hrs.

Learning never ends

Learning never ends Ran 4.77km on 8 April in 29m 17.50 sec. I always like running, but I am never fast enough.

Running The Mile

Most of us would have heard that Roger Bannister was the first human to even run below 4 minutes for the mile (1609m) in 1954. The current word record 3min 43.13sec set on 7 July 1999 by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morroco. The record has stood for almost 7 years. Wonder anyone would break it soon.

A New Day

I just completed a 5.2km run. A 1.2km run to the stadium in 8min 42.35 sec plus a 10 laps of 400m in 20min37.75 sec. Will continue to train and improve on my running time.

Running

Ran 4 laps of 400m in 7min 20.53 secs, weather very hot! Lap 1)1:58.64 2)1:53.19 3)1:47.25 4)1:41.45

Running

Ran 3.2 km or 8 laps of a standard stadium in 15:58.08 on saturday 18 June 2005.

Running

I like running, but has never been able to run as fast as I would like to since young....how fast can a human run ? Btw 100m world record has just been set 9.77 sec...

Tall buildings

I like tall buildings or rather magnificent buildings tall or short...but mainly tall buildings. Burj Dubai is currently the tallest known under construction building in the world. Approx. 750m.
