OMG ah hoo did 52Km in 7:20 and me 70Km in 6


I was at ECP mac at 8.58pm, ah hoo had already finished his first 8 km in less then an hour, that was fast. After having a fillet o' fish, i put on my blades and started hoo hunting. joined by ah chan and ah tan at lagoon hawker centre and we caught up with ah hoo at outward bound school (16km). noticed that he had a new running style that make his run more relax, good for him.

i was plesantly surprised by my much improved stamina- now i can blade at 25km/hr effortlessly. while petroling ECP and provinding logistics supports for the runner, i saw this on a notice board, good lobang must share lah;

Running Tips

START SLOW
begin with a walk or slow jog and gain speed gradually.

WATCH YOUR ARMS
keep your shoulders relaxed, arms at 90 degree angle and avoid excessive arm movement.

BREATHE DEEPLY
Purse your lips as you breath out to help you exhale fullu so that you can take deeper breaths.

RUN TALL
"pull" yourself upright as if you were a puppet on a string. This is the correct running posture

LAND ON YOUR HEEL
running on your toes put excessivepressure on your knees and may lead to injuries.

COOL DOWN
a slow jog at the end of your run will remove any lactic acid that had accumulated in your body

Train Hard, Train Smart
