Untitled by StanZ at Garmin Connect - Details

Today, I finally can carried out the workout as my plan.

I start of real slow and it seem like raining at KM 2.

Today I found my sweet spot for running is after KM 5, I start to get into the runner high. Heart Rate is high, but not feeling very uncomfortable, I Finished this long run at 1hour 6 minutes.

A little set back today was my right tendon is start to feeling the paint again, need to do a real message for it, wash my shoe which getting wet on yesterday run, and do some carbo load before the race.


ALL the best to you Stanley..

Today I plan to do a tempo run to keep my heart really beaten up. end up with the result of 31.30 minutes for 5km, a result that I can simply run and feel easy.

In today run, my heart rate is more than 200 reach around KM 4, is look like harder than my speed interval. This should be related to my running break for around 3 weeks.

today my leg and ankle felt great, no discomfort feeling for my ankle, hamstring nor any other part of my body.
although breathing very hard, but feel great, the joy of running is finally come back to me.


As a lesson, never increase your weekly mileage too soon too fast. this will harm you in the end.

Look for a better weekend run, KOTR, I'm coming.

Come Back run after 3 weeks off

Untitled by StanZ at Garmin Connect - Details

Today is the 1st run of my long break, due to the tendon Achilles.

Is not getting fully recover, but some massage can release my pain and feel better.

Plan to start a relax and real easy run after the long break, targeting at 5km with a low heart rate.

KM 1 - although I plan to start slow, but it seem still hard for me, my leg is feeling uneasy. due to overprotective of my right leg, i think i landed a little bit hard for my left leg. My hamstring is feeling fatigue and uneasy

KM 2 - thought will going to be better when getting into my second KM, the feeling is still the same. can't believe with around 7 minutes/km will keep me working so hard. is start to halving and puffing now. and look at my watch, my heart rate is shoot up incredibly to a 185 at this pace. 7 minutes/km

KM 3 - getting into the feel now, the feeling is getting easy(or my body get use to it?) look at the watch, still going around 7 minutes/km. keep up and start thinking if i can get 1km going faster

KM 4 - start to picking up the speed from here, raising my pace and stride, although my hamstring give me some hard time, but i felt great and the good feeling of running is coming back, not as the harder feeling that i thought it will came. feeling superb now.

KM 5 -  slow down for recovery run, at the last 500 meter, did an easy sprint to finish off the run. my left knee feel sloppy, hamstring feel uneasy, end 5km with around 33 minutes

looking forward for my second run, Adidas King of the Road is 9th sept, what i wish here is i can finish it within 1 hours and 50 minutes.
