Did 13km in 1:21hr on treadmill


Did 13km in 1:21hr on the treadmill in SCC gym. First 10km in 63 minutes and next 3km in 18 minutes. Still feeling strong and can go further but need to wash up and go home for dinner with family.

 

Still turn on the SprintGPS software on the iPhone to track the time and event. Since it is on the treadmill, the GPS will not measure any distance. So the result is random on the map within a small area.

 

Looking forward to run with friends in this Sunday 21km SAFRA AHM event.

iPhone4 carrying arm-band

Saw this in Hong Kong International Airport. Likes it and was thinking of buying it. But a bit expensive at HK$249. Looks like good quality built and most likely will buy it if cannot find cheaper one of similar good quality.

Did 10.3km in 1:05:53hr around Seletar housing area

Wanted to join Hot-Runners at UPR for the Tuesday weekly run today but was not able to make it on time. Went ahead and run alone instead around Seletar housing estate.

Target to do 10km or 1hr run. Ended up meeting both target. Complete 10.3km run in 1:05:53hr, an average speed of 9.38km/hr. Was covering all the small roads to ensure sufficient distance coverage. Was running at moderate speed trying to cover long distance. Surprising felt very tired today, could be due to lack of sleep or not drinking enough water today. Lower back and legs felt tired. But was glad to complete the 10km and 1hr target.

Was recording the run info using SprintGPS on my iPhone. Wonderful software. I set it to announce Running Speed and Distance Covered every minute. Pretty cool. After the run, the full detail including map was automatically uploaded to the SpringGPS website. Really cool. This software can be downloaded from the App store for US$2.99 (the free version can record 3 runs).

Enjoyed my run with the VFI runners, it has been quite some time since we last ran together.

ChunHian and myself both trying out the SprintGPS software on iPhone. It works great.

Did 10.37km in 1:07:26hr

Ran around the Seletar housing area at around 6pm. Did 10.37 km in 1:07:26 hr, an average speed of 9.22 kmph or 6:30 min/km. A bit tired but very glad that I have crossed 10km today. Need to start clocking in about 20km per week now in preparation of the 12-Sept Annual Half Marathon event organised by SAFRA.
Ran with my iPhone with the SprintGPS software on to track the distance, speed and map! It took longer than expected to upload to the web site and to email to me. Still waiting so that I can take a look at the route cover in the map !!

Did 6.4km 27-Jul in UPR


Ran at UPR for 6.4km in 40:31 minutes. An average speed of 6:20min per km. More than 10 hot-runners turned up today. Had a good run today. Was pacing Margaret in some sections of the run.

Trying out SprintGPS free apps for iPhone for the first time. Looks pretty cool. It track the distance, speed and google mapping on the route covered. It works really great. Only problem is how best to carry the iPhone while running. Great apps though. I like it.

Did 10km in 59:45 minutes in the gym

Was driving to Upper Pierce Reservoir after office hour to join the hot-runners for the Tuesday weekly run. Along the way, there was light rain and drizzling. Heard from radio there was a fallen tree along Yio Chu Kang road. So decided to go to SCC gym instead to avoid the rain and traffic jam.

Did 10km in 59:45 minutes. Very happy with the result as I have not been running more than 7km for quite some time. Need to start building up stamina to 15km and then 21km soon.

Found out that 5 of the hot-runners went ahead and run in UPR despite the rain. All of us are die-hard runners!!
