Tampines hub 2.4km Run

Long time no write blog cause after the 160km Virtual run than I go for my third vaccine jab. After the jap I got frozen shoulder and heel pain. For the frozen shoulder took me quite sometime to heal it in a painful way. But the heel pain on my left foot. That I can't solve. So I keep looking for solution watch many YouTube than I find a guy who see many doctor but the heel pain keep coming back in the end he solve it by himself buying those Arch support soles and the running slipper than solve it pain. So I copy. 

This does not really solve it but at least it can heal for days if I don't run or stand too long. 

After a year the gov open up than I saw this Tampines hub got free running event 

so I just register. To me it free so if on that day I heel pain than I just DNS. 

Than I forget about it. As the event date come closer. I received their email than I remember I got register. So I scare I so long never run on the running date I may fail. So I start to try running a 2.4km. the first run it took me 15min to complete and I vomit. The second run it took me 14min to complete. To me it not bad already. My last 2.4km run in the Sport hub is 10min20sec that why never got the T shirt need below 10min. Haha

On the event day. I thought can go there video the participants but the volunteer say cannot go to the running track so I just wait for the time to get my bibs. 

The first run are for the females so after they finish And come back I saw many carry trophy. Than saw my friend Carol and she told me if run below their so call timing will get trophy if over it will get a medal. OMG than I go check what is Master timing. So I must run below 13min45sec to get it. Walau my second training run is 14min leh. Sure cannot get loh. Than my girlfriend ask I can get or not.  I told my girlfriend I try my best. 

Don't forget I got heel pain. So before the race start I drink a can of 100 plus than I go toilet vomit it out. Haha. 

After the briefing by the organiser. He say 1 round is 700m and need to run 3 round plus a 300m to complete. And told us we need to count the rounds ourself. OMG this would be a problem. 

After that we master runner all go to the starting area. Than the organiser just shout start we all master run like the flash. I try to run very fast for my first round so I aim someone that I can chase behind. But after the second round my pace start to slow pochiek but I still try to keep up. Many start overtake me but ok I just keep running don't stop. Heavy breathing try to relax and cool my mind. I cannot sweat that why my head and body get heated up. But just endure after that I forget how many round I run but I remember that guy Infront of me. So if he stop than I stop. 

In the end I finish it but do not know my timing. 

Than my heavy breathing still continue and I follow Steven he say go level 4 see result but we went into a room and wait but I want to vomit so I went to the toilet. Than I from toilet come out go back to the room see something not right. We must have go to the wrong place to see result. So we go out search and it in second lever. Lol. When we walk in the room super long Q. The volunteer ask us to check result. And  I see my bib number OMG I can get trophy 11min20sec. Just lucky. 

After long Q for trophy and photo taking. I went back to look for my girlfriend. 

At first she thought siao loh so long.she saw many runner that run in my start time all come back already. She think I must have pochiek. Lol . But when she saw I got trophy she happy for me. What a sweet girlfriend. 

After that we go for a sweet dinner. And in dinner time she ask me how I feel if see everyone I know get the trophy and I did not? I think I would be sad bah for not training and blame it on the vaccine. Lack of training I cannot expect to be like last time bah. Other runners run every day. I just started. Let me know how you feel ? Lol

Overall trophy not the important things. Important is to meet the old runners. 

And enjoy every moment in your run. And every Moment with my girlfriend. The best thing for this event that it is Free and come with many goodies from NDP. Lol

Now I wear the slipper in my house hope my heel recover again. Second day when I wake up tomorrow sure pain like hell. 

This is a wayang blog. Do not trust everything you read.

Judge by yourself.

My Country Singapore

Singapore, not a easy country to live in. I was not born here but I grow up locally. I school here from kindergarden to Secondary. I serve my country for 2 years and many years of reservist. From the time where big brother handphone till now touch screen smartphone. From the time i watch drama using VHS tapes till now stream for free.  Singapore keep changing and it change fast.

Yes no doubt to me Singapore is a great country to stay. In the past Singapore really got nothing to do accept watch movie. and to know someone you ether go community center or go to your religion gathering. Yes you can know many people if you still schooling. but at my age, not interested in learning. than the internet came and everything change. and the pace keep getting faster and faster. 

Singapore said really is a good place to be. Low crime doesn't mean no crime. and not many natural disaster at all. only recently some so call mini Flood. 

Singapore is a place of laws. The Government will constantly change it laws whenever they see necessary or come out new one till you don't even know what is right or wrong anymore. In this Country where in the past you can do or enjoy will be forbidden in the future.

Singapore is constantly changing. If you notice that some part or the road will have rebuild all the times. They can build a road than after a year or sometime few month rebuild the road again.  Build than demolished it than build again. I think this is how to have great economy bah. So that people will have a jobs to do. 

Singapore only like to go up but seldom go down. What I mean is Transport fare will go up, SP bill will go up. Up up up. Whenever there a announcement on GST rise. All business will start to rise their cost. Food and drink price will go up. In our previous GST is 7% and it say will go up to 9%. But it have not start yet and people start to panic. Hello it only rise 2% more but the people will increase whatever unreasonable percentage. Eg. Like a Wanton mee last time is $3 it will increase another 50 cent. It more than 2%. But no choice. Every year inflation rate going up. 

So not easy to be a Singaporean. Either you make more money or you lower your demand. That how you survive here. That why the people here is so stress. A bit a bit will make a big scene. A bit a bit will quarrel with each other. And when people make a big scene. All smartphone will start to aim on them. Than within few minute the video will be in social media. Maybe because Singapore got not much news to report. That why  it seen like small matter will become big news. If not next time you go coffeeshop gather you got nothing to talk about.

Overall Singapore such a small little Dot can become such a strong country also not easy. It all depend on the people here. From the lower class to the upper class all contribute bit by bit. Because Singapore do not have natural resources. If got I think the people here will not be so stress bah. 

Ok write until here bah. Don't think anyone will read.

Stay Safe Stay Wayang.

Kim C 100 Miles Challenge Run Multi Level Method

I have invent a Running routine to run my 100 miles Challenge 2021 by Running Guild (SG) (multiple session) so that I will not get injure and stress out.

 This routine also good for training your endurance and commitment in something you hope to finish it. This routine is for running in multiple session. but if you a elite can go one shot run 100 miles. than this not for you. I been lack of running since pandemic start, so i need to train back my normal running standard and I am getting old. due to too many heart palpitation occur when I try to run fast so i decide not to risk my life and go in my pace. 

This routine is for beginner who want to run longer distance. For runner who stop running for a long time. For people who want to challenge themselves.

I call this a Multi Level Kim C Method Run. another name is Kim C kinder garden Math Run. lol

this is how you do it.

A 100 miles is equal to 160.934 km make it 161 km. You will start by running you first run 5 km than second day 6 km third days 7 km and so on till you reach 18 km and that will get you 161 km. 

5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18 = 161 km

same as if you going for 200 km

5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20 = 200 km

is just that simple. kids also can calculate. that adding up is simple. is the run that is tough. If you long time never run and start to run you will feel how tough it is to even finish a 5km run. That why I try to make this routine or you can call timetable. From short distance slowly increase by 1km per run. I don't say per day cause if you can do continue day by day non stop than it good. But if not you can just run one day and rest one day. 

The benefits of adding 1km per run. First is to get use of running. By add 1km per run you will slowly feel the 5km is nothing by the time you reach 10km. By the time you reach 15km you will feel 10km is nothing. Cause you already get use to it. Second you can know when will injure occur like IT band heel pain leg cramp and etc so that you know when to deal it it. Third you can also test all the running shoes you bought that is it suit your feet for longer distance. For your info after I rarely run. All my running shoes sole came off simply just peel off. So shoe must wear and run if not it will spoil.  Here is some example https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSeFTX4YF/ . than you also know that when will your energy run low. for me I bring two water bottle. one is tailwind endurance fluid drink  to replenish my sodium to prevent me from cramp and another bottle of plain water just to pour on my head to cool me down. I will slow down every 3km walk 100m and run again. I only drink when I slow down. 

The routine is not a competition. You can take your time. The main goal is to finish what you start. If today is to run 15km. No matter how tired just finish it. For every target km you complete. You will feel a sense of achievement. That you done it. By yourself. That a single great accomplish. Yes no medal no t shirt but you have make a difference. You will feel different. 

Lol but for me. I got medal and t shirt cause I pay for it. I join this 100 miles Challenge so that I will not get lazy. I mostly run in circle at my block. 

But after I complete the race. I will get back to my lazy self again. Until my next race. 

To prevent injury you can do some warm-up before you start. Click the video for example 

Do share and like if it help you. Don't keep this to yourself. Help other find their inner strength.

5 Good Reasons to Run Slow

In the running society, runners metamope fast is consider elite runner. But there a new force of elites is growing. The runners who run near the cut off time.

What I mean by running near a cut off time. So if a full marathon cut off time is 8 hrs and you manage to complete at 7hrs 59min. That a real real super elite.

Running a slow pace near like walking pace is really really a hard things to do. If you don't believe go ask a fast runner that run a sub 3 or sub 4 to run a sub 8. He or she will die. Fast runner got no patience. They run fast cause they want faster finish faster go back. faster get all the goodies. as for slower runner by the time you finish the race, the event organizer already pack up. 

Slow running need lot of patience. You can see runners keep overtake you and panic that you can't compete. You need to be very calm. So calm till you can enjoy the scenery. Slow runner also have a mental that if cannot be in time. Just finish already a accomplishment. Finding balance in their life. 

The disadvantages of slow elite is that by the time they complete. Mostly all the goodies, food or drink already finish. Another things is that if they go to race with a group of friends. Those faster have to be patience too to wait for them to finish. But that what friends are for. For good times and bad times. 

But you be surprise there a marathon for Slow runner, it is call Slow Marathon. one tak eplace in  North East of Scotland and one in Japan ECO Slow Marathon INBA. The purpose of this kind of race is to let you enjoy the landscape of the country and the last who finish will be the winner

When we start to age. Some of us will begin to run slow. Like me last time like to run fast and very competitive. Now pon cik already after this 2 years covid scare to go outside. Slow running also got it benefit. 

1, You will not easily get injure

2, You can enjoy the scenery more

3, You got less anxiety 

4, If you in group you can chit chat more.

5, You can take your time to shit if you got to go

Life is so stress now I think it time to slow down. But whenever you feel like to be competitive again. can just train back. only it will take years. lol

So Be Brave Be Slow. 

What I learn From Running? Part Two

What I learn from running?
Running create many elites. Elites are not elites in the beginning and many just become well known after few years of running.

Elites can be sort in different types.
The first types are the real elites. I call it the Fast One. This kind of elites will train their heart out and win a race. They are very competitive toward any race. But thats human. Human are competitive in many ways. May not be running but competitiveness in many forms. I have give up to be competitive in running after this covid start. Now more of a slow runner. Healthy can be gain by just simple run. 

Second type of Elites I call it the Fashion elites. Some are fast runners and some just run more for photo taking for their social media. A good thing about Fashion runners is that if they get enough following. They might get a sponsorship or become a ambassador of some running event. They can get free stuff from sport brands. To the brand it a win win situation. More awareness more sales. 

The third type are the Ultra Elites. Those who run so long distance till they forget how to go home. The distance so long that they like don't have to work at all. Distance that take days to complete. Distance that some time no time to eat or sleep. The Ultra Elites many are we so call Nuts. But they enjoy every moment of their run. Ultra Elites mostly after many road run will turn to trail run. Trail I mean nature. 

Last the Weird Elites. The Elites that run long distance but wear slippers or flipflops. Elites that wear a costume. Running barefoot. To many runners it may seem normal already by now but I still think it wired and hard to run in flipflop for long distance.

Anything write here are not true. It just a silly thinking of a silly guy like me. 

Be Brave Be Wayang and Be Safe

Life still need to go on no matter what come ahead. 

Virtual Run? Is it worth it?

Virtual Race 

When the first time I heard virtual race is created by I think 42 race. In my mind I don't think this business will work cause at that time there still many running events going on. Virtual Running Race is a race that you pay to join a race but you run yourself in any location. It simply say that you pay to run yourself. And when you complete the run. You just upload your record to their web site and they check you not cheating ( but even you cheat they also don't care) and they mail you your Finisher T shirt and medal. WTH. It simply you are just buying something you don't need. 

Than came the Covid. All running race need to cancel or postpone. This give the organizers of virtual race a big big opportunity push and it became so popular that every runners get use to it. 

After two years of this Covid situation. More and more race organizers need to run their business so no choice need to go into Virtual race. This pandemic kill many business but also make many not so high demand business bloom out of a sudden. Same like the app Zoom. Due to many Work From Home. Zoom apps became popular overnight.

back to this Virtual Race. not all you need to pay. the organizer sometime will create virtual race that is free. you just need to sign up and run. and once you complete the run you get a virtual image medal. for shiok only and can share and tell the world you got run. The free race is just a gimmick it like a free sample for you to try. so when you hook on it, or love the medal or t shirt design you will sign up AND PAY FOR IT. It also free so that the organizer can get your details and also spam your email with many other virtual races.

For me I only sign up the Free one. sometime even I sign up I don't even run for it. Free one it like you happy than run loh . but if you pay mean you must die die go out and run. if not you waste your money for nothing. 

I did sign up payed Virtual race from Running Guild  other than that I almost never do any virtual race at all. Util recently my girlfriend sign up some CC virtual race for me. Now I seldom even run. mostly walking. old already heart not getting stronger.

I think if you love running you don't need a virtual race to push you to go out and run. If you are hardcore runner you simply will just run day and night consistently. But if you need a force to make you run. than no choice go and pay for the virtual race.  This will force you to get out of your sofa and run. 

For me, I will save up util the Real Running Race return. That where you meet new friend and old one. that where you gather together for a purpose run. that where you find yourself still competitive. that where you get all your running photo taken. that where real social life is. that where Real things happen. 

In the end, Virtual Race is just a motivational race for you to move your feet. There not good or bad in it. it just up to individual. you like it you will love it. you hate it you will hate it.

So be Happy Be Brave and Be Wayang.

What I learn From Running?

What I learn about Running? Part One

What I learn about Running?
Running is hard. It is never easy. Weather you slow or fast runner. It take effort determination to finish a race. Even a short distance one. Running make you high. If I never run for month my body will always feel tired. But once I start run in the morning, the whole day feel energetic. Like battery just been recharge. It a funny feeling only runner know. If you don't believe go run a 5km in the morning and the rest of the day you feel fresh.

What I learn about Running?
Running give you lot of friends. So many that you sometime don't know who is who. And every time you been to a race. Your Facebook will start to generate new friends. Many friends request will keep poping up. But many you don't even know them.  some you accept their friend request. They will unfollow you or unfriend you straight away. I never unfollow anyone. It is rude. If you want to be friend be friend if not don't request just to show off your Facebook got many friends. It is very very rude to me. It like you want me to see your everyday posting but you don't want to see mine. What a selfish person. In Facebook I only see. If got time i will use my dirty finger and press a like. If no time I just browsing. I don't really concentrate on Facebook. It just a social platforms to mingle around.

What I learn about Running?
Running got many chat group. Mostly in Whatapp. If you in one or multiple. You will discover different group in the chat need to say different things. For those serious group you only can chat about training. If you start to chat about other things. Someone will ask you don't spam leh. This kind of serious group if I see I will leave and don't even want to go their weekly training. Not every runner want to run like a elite. I am not applying for national team so don't need seriousness in chat. Life is stress enough.
Chat group I like those that can say anything. Any rubbish you say also can. But in every chat group sure got one take things very seriously. Every things you type he or she will get offended. This kind of person please go solo. You don't need chat group. You need a doctor. In chat group everything there is not true don't have to believe what others type. You are a fool if you believe in everything.
