I wrote one piece about Open Water. So far all my open water trainings are in Sentosa, must say that this place is a safer location than other Open waters in Singapore. As I continue on my open water journey, I began to discover more about Sentosa and the places where you can swim which is almost unreachable to others by foot.
So I thought of writing something about this Covid 19 ( short form for the coronavirus 2019), since we are now in the middle of the circuit breaker.
Well if you are not in Singapore, you will not know that Covid 19 lockdown name for Singapore is called the circuit breaker, they hope to “Break” this circuit by making everyone stay at home.
Many runners believe that just going to sports massages and some physio therapy will be enough for them to cure their running injuries and ailments. But actually the best way to have a sustainable way to prevent your injuries and such is through proper stretches, and rest times.
So there are times where you cannot exactly run or possibly just too tired of running. I started to think about those years where I can do like 7 marathons a year. In fact, last year was quite a crazy year for me. The three ultras that I did really killed my body badly and coupled with bad nutrition.
Coming back to race in this event was because my friend, Alice invited me to go along. We are kinda like “loner” runners and prefer to go around alone. But we somehow managed for this race. Although some hiccups of not really knowing where I left my race belt, I decided to go ahead with the long never used Camelback hydration pack.
The Year just passed me fast without realizing that I had already done 3 marathons and 3 ultra distances. In between, some other runs and 1 triathlon.
Actually this took place before the Great Eastern Women Run. Only managed to get the photos done up recently.
Swim for Hope is an annual activity to raise funds for the beneficiaries through swimming laps in the pool. Every lap swam is contributed to the funds beneficiaries such as APSN, Singapore Children’s Society and also the SAF care fund. Participants will pick one of the slots in the respective SAFRA Club House and swim as many laps as possible.
After my fall last year, my running alignment has been greatly affected and has not been able to get back to a good form. Although I do practice yoga once a while but never thought that it can actually help to improve my back condition. Actually practicing yoga helps not only with your body alignment and increase flexibility, it is also good for better posture and breathing.
Here are some of the Yoga poses which I found was really useful to alleviate your back pain, especially so for the modern office workers.
Been a long while since I experience serious pain from running. Been trying a lot on short distance speed running lately. The first strain came when I was doing speed work just last week at the tracks. Doing the Pyramids ( 400m , 800m, 1200m at maximum effort ) and coming down. I broke around the fourth set. The pain is something really new to me as I had always been very careful not to over exert, even during longer races, I had hardly experience such form of pain.
