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.

Check out these running shoes that is offer




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.


What I learn about Running?
Running is a worldwide activities. And since it getting very popular. You will see many free training group pop up. So we runner like to join every single one. In case the training met your timing. You will just go. To occupy your free time better than staying home to decay your body. Running in free running group is great. You can meet many opposite sex that you can gei gei have some 暧昧. Can make you feel like back to school again. Whether this 暧昧 will end where is up to individual. You will see the guy start to pace this girl. You will see them always together. You will start heard gossip. That the fun of running group. Gossip is like newspaper. Without it where got fun. I like running group but I don't go any. Now no time, if go sure can back to school and play 暧昧. But my girlfriend will kill me:D. Tell me lah who don't like 暧昧. It free. Free is good. Free Run Free Drinks Free S........S  Sadine :D. Love Running Group but now no time to go.

How to be Popular in the Running Group?

 If you been running for quite sometimes, you will notice that your Facebook friends will keep getting more. Sometimes in a race event, people that you don't know will smile at you or say hi. It mean you are getting popular. Maybe by the running photo that your friend tag or maybe they always see your face in running event.
But if you run for so many years still no one know you. Mean something wrong.
In Running society, getting popular is not hard. Even you are shy also can become popular. Runners like to make friends. When they see new runners they are happy. Overall runner are all human. Human sometime need attention. 
So I cut it short, how to be popular in the Running community?
There a few ways to do it.
But first are you sure you want to be popular first?
Being popular sometime may not be a good things to you if you are those who don't like attention. I don't mean popular are attentive seeker. but sometime you too well known gossip will start to happen.  And also those who always like to jelly people will make story. So are you ready to be popular? are you?
If you ready please continue to read if not please click on the link here and go watch my Youtube better.

The formula to become Popular in the Running Society

 1, You need join all the race event in Singapore
the more you go to a running race. the more other runner will notice you!

2, You need to join every free running club or groups!
it the same as number 1.

3, Take out you stupid smartphone and start taking wefie with the runners!
Runners really like to take photo. I don't know why but they really like it.

4, Start talking shit to people, talk anything that pop up your mind. a runner meet a runner is very easy to talk. just ask any other race you join?

5, Add other runner in you Facebook! 
so that you go more exposure when other runners start to tag you in their photo

6, Keep commenting their post in Facebook!
another way to get other notice you 

7, If you can afford, Spend them drink!
This I cannot afford it is for those who can

8, Train and run until on day you podium!
If you can do this, all the above matter you no need to do anymore. Podium Runner got this privilege.

9, Open a free running group and invite other to join you for a run.
If you host a running group. oh this more fast to be popular.

10, Go run a Ultra race,
If you can do a 200km sure become popular. I guarantee this

but really to be popular is not so hard. but if you a stuck up and think you are better than other. than forget it. You still will be popular but in the other way.

Funny thing is now i seldom join race cause I am broke so not very popular already. sometime I got free race I go there all new faces. but it like that when you are out you are out. 
Popularity don''t really give you anything. but it just a good feeling that someone do know you. 
Like I always say (Who don't know Kim C?)
long time no write blog so anyhow write one for fun.








I also anyhow write a eBook - How The Fxxk I End Up in YouTube

My First NUS Biathlon 2019

Who so wayang would want to join a Biathlon. Biathlon is just a combination of some different sport.
NUS Biathlon is Swim and Run.
I got the opportunity to got a free entry to this NUS Biathlon in the Novice category. It a 400m Swim plus a 2.5km of Run.
I got this on Wednesday when my Girlfriend ask me say got a free entry to this race. Since I never play this kind of race before, and it free. I say ok. And the Race is on Saturday. I think if for anyone will think you need to prepare for it. But for me it just a race, same like any half, full or Ultra run.
To think a race is just a race than you will not get worried or anxiety about it. Just treat it as something you do it so often than you don't really give a dam about it.
So I got email say my Wave is number 8 and need to be at NUS sport Center at 9.30 am for register. I never been to NUS so I get there early to look for motorbike parking.
Enter the Sport Center can see so many young people. So they did email a pdf booklet on what to do.
1, Register and get your bibs
2, Place you bag in the baggage
( Do take out the stuff you need to put at the transition area)
3, Go the Body Marking
4, Go Safety briefing
5, Flagoff the Swim
6, Go transit prepare your Run
7, Run and don't forget take a rubber band
8, Finish and take your timing chip
9, Give your rubbish band and timing chip to the volunteer to record.
10, Finish you can do whatever you want.









At the Race what I learn. I think for this kind of race, swimming will be the one many runners will get worried. Cause runners run often but not many swim often. Even it a race in the swimming pool it also very tough for some runners. My swim is 400m mean I need to swim 8 time of the 50m pool. So it flag off and I take my time relax relax slowly use my breaststroke. I can see many swim very fast get a head of me cause all swim freestyle. But who care. Just relax let the volunteer wait and sun tan there. The volunteer will place a colour water bottle into the pool to let me know I got last two laps. No doubt I am the last to come up. But at least I come up. The swim even I relax, after few laps my throat very thirsty. And I feel like spitting. The pool also make me want to pee. Don't worry I never pee in the pool. So I come up and go the transit area I wear my sock and shoe. Clip my waist pouch that my handphone inside. But when I wear my singlet it stuck halfway. Might be because it too tight and I am wet. But never care so I was like wear a bra take a cup of H2O drink it and start to run. At the run I slowly adjust my singlet to roll down if not many will think I am a female runner with beard.
The Run is not easy. Many slopes. As I run I can see many who are Infront me started to walk. So I overtake one by one. Not sure what pace I run but I never stop. Than took a cup of water and the rubber band. Rush back to the finishing line. Even though I don't know the route, the volunteers there are very helpful. You will not get lost.
At the finishing I get my timing chip and give it to the volunteer. The volunteer say after a week than will know the timing. So I take my 100plus and walk walk see see that weflie.
I think this Biathlon most tough is the swimming bah. Cause human is more confident on the ground. In the water like a no man kand that anytime you will just sink in the water. Those who swim in open water, I mean the sea really need to train for that. Swimming is no joke.

Why I run 5km everyday?

Wayang Quote
My Running Spark Joy in Life

Why I run 5km everyday?
I been slacking and getting fat this year. Even Siu's mom also say I fat. So I committed to go back my old school training. The daily 5km run. 


In the past is daily 10km run, but 10km will take about an hour so I don't have that kind of spare time. 5km is just nice. 30 min finish it and can do my other stuff. (sorry I do't have time to go group run. Old already no time to wait for others)
Running a 5km in the morning or in the night will get different effects. 

In the morning, after you run. You feel energetic and alive. After all the washing up and ready to go work to fight for your future that you might not have one. But once it reach lunch time. You will feel very very tired and sleepy. All the dumb energetic energy battery gone flat. So sleepy till you wish you already dead.






As for running in the night. It more cooling and less zombie running. You may think ghost will appear but please I been alive for so long. Ghost fart also never smell before. You think too much.
Running in the night is great, cause after run and wash up. Your energy level still high. Even you will feel tiredness cause it time to sleep but in the sleep the heat is still burning in your body. That why we feel hot even after a cool bath. I need to turn on the fans to cool myself. In your sleep it still burning your calorie. But do not eat before you go to sleep. This will make you fat again. But when you wake up in the morning will feel very very thirsty. 






When you run. Do be aware of your running pose. The swing of your arms. Think if I butt kick higher will I go faster. Think if I swing my arms this way will I go faster. Think to use cadence or strike length. Think if I run this way can I sustain it to 5km more. Think If I breath like that more efficient. Think my friend Think. Don't just simply run like a fool. You yourself know your body well not me. If I train you. You be like a dog. Cause I can torture you whatever I want. It is not my body. I don't give a shit.


The benefits of run 5km daily is
1, 5km is just balance distance to keep fit
2, It only take you - fast 25min slow an hour.
3, You burn more calories cause you run daily
4, You don't have excuses not to run cause it a daily habits
5, Short and sharp finish it fast and go back do other things
6, Cause I say so. If you disagree I don't care.
7, Don't need preparation just wear you attire and run.
8, Run daily will correct your running pose
9, You will shit better. The Durian will come out easily.

Over all most important is to make it a habit. Once it a habit. You can change how to run this 5km.
For example

Monday - 5km speedwork
Tuesday - 5km Tempo
Wednesday - 5km easy run
Thursday - 5km negative split
Friday - 5km cadence run
Saturday - 5km Park Run
Sunday - 5km Walk and Run

5km you can train many many style. No need Dumb Dumb just only run one pattern. Anyway running 5km will not promise you will be slim. but got exercise better than sitting at home wait to die.

The best is everyday you run. You in your own world. Listen to your mp3 song. Enjoy every moment you are alive. It can relieve stress and also get endorphins high. No need to buy drug so Dumb.
This is my thoughts of running 5km daily. If you disagree you think I care. I don't. Every runners got their own opinion. You can have yours but don't put your opinion in my blog. You so clever you go write your own blog. 

The last thing I going to say is don't get injure. Be Brave Be Wayang be a Dumb ass who run 5km daily.
This is a Wayang blog, if you believe in the things I say here. Please go see a doctor. Your brain need help. You think I want to run 5km daily forever meh. You must be crazy.

Have You Did Your Best?

Wayang Qoute
One Hair Long Sure Got Other Hair Longer!!

I was lucky to have the opportunity to run for Westin. Even I always got free bib but this time is different. Since This race is to represent Westin so to not play play. I decided to run seriously. When I run serious you all better watch out, Satan Kim is coming to town.


I try to register for Pen B but the web site ask for proof. I dun have cause I always run with free bib. So I put Pen C. But too bad SCSM put me to the last second Pen when I collect my bib. The Pen F. Mean you are Fxxk. 
That a 45 min late to start Pen. And it a great challenge. Since there will be many Zombie Runners walking I would need to do many zig zag running the 凌波微步 to over take one by one. 这是一个上上层的武功.
I give myself a goal to complete 21km in 2hrs time. So that next year I got proof.  But in the end I did a 2hr 03min official time. Another 03min more.
Because of this 3min I need to refresh myself what have I did wrong. Have I stop too much from wetting myself to cool my body or is it the cramp that slow me down.

Many will think not need to be so serious, but for SCSM it a serious race to me. I ever said. If you never run a Stand-chart. You are not a runner.


All runners are competitive. To me.
One mountain sure got another mountain higher, one banana sure got another banana longer.
The real question is that have you really try your best?
We always give ourselves excuses to sign for a race and we also give excuses give up a race sometimes. When race day come all the anxiety rise. here pain there not feeling well.
and many times when I am in a race I would ask myself. Do I want to really run this? Really go all out? or just relax relax and look back and say I should have try to run this.

It not about podium or not, cause to podium is the Kenyan jobs. They run to make a living. 
As for runner like us. we run is to satisfied our-self, to have a sense of achievement that I have really earn that medal. (but I also ask other to give me their medals)







Now I seldom sign up for race partly because I am broke and second is because not every race I will my best. You can't every race also join. it is bad for you. The more race you sign the more you will not try your best. cause it is too much.

And the race that I never put effort is always the race I felt bad.
Yes you can enjoy running by walking or taking many photo to show that you are there. But to me running a race is a race. I see running as a race. To compete, even may not be the fastest. But it the effort that you need to make. The challenge against yourself. The target you want to meet. The goal you wish to succeed.
Next time when you complete a race, do ask yourself. Have you did your best? Have you?

But if a free bib not my name, than I anyhow run. No point put effort to get myself injure.
I dunno what the hell I am writing. Seating in the toilet. Do my first shit after SCSM run. Anyway. I think that race I only put 90% effort cause 10% in my heart I scare cramp too early. Last time I always congrats all my running friends in Facebook. But now too many so I just Congrats here.
Congrats all Runners who attend #SCSM2018 it is a good race.
Got free bib don't forget to find me.


I don't review races. If you want a long air blog that review  #SCSM2018.
