Training

Today's training was in school.
Our warm-up was 1 round of the 3km route then the second round we had to take our timing.
My timing for the 3km route was 14.47.22mins.
An improvement from the last one.
After that, we did 5 times of 60m run.
We did all out as there is nothing else to do after that.
I didn't take the timing though.
During the run...i didn't get to try the vacumn thing because i couldn't catch up to the front person.But carolyn says it works.I hope to be able to try it out the next training...and hopefully run faster.

Training

Todays training was at bishan and it was raining...
so we didn't do track work. We did staircase running 3 sets of 7 min.
It was very tiring especially the last few ones and my knees were aching.
In fact they are still aching this minute.When climbing down the stairs, it was quite scary so i went quite slow but i pick up the pace when going up.
After the staircase running we did jumping exercises.We had to hop up a flight of tall steps and it was pretty scary.I basically had to stop after each step.
But worst of all was the single-legged hop.My feet barely grazed pass the step... and i did trip once.We did this exercise a few times and then did cool down and that's it for training.
I hope to be able to pick up my speed when running up the stairs in the future.

Training

Todays training was in school as the new sec1s are here...
We started off with a 17min warm-up round outside of school...the 3km route.
Once done, we did stretching and then some hurdle work.
We did 5sets of walking over the hurdles each leg.
Then we did sort of lunges 5sets.
Next is the two-legged jump.
We started off using 15cm then 17cm then 21cm then 24cm.
I had trouble jumping over the hurdles as i was afarid that i would fall.
The toughest of all was the 24cm jumping.
I had to pause after every hurdle then continue.
After that,we worked on how to turn corners.
We ran about 80m then u-turn back.
I didn't do quite well as it was very slippery...we did that many times then cooled down and went home. I hope that now i will be able to turn corners better so as to improve my timing.

Training

Todays training was in school and surprise surprise...it had jus rain through the night.
It was still a little cold.
Our schedule was to run from here along the canal to the overhead bridge and back.
No idea how many kilometres it is but my timing was 32.58mins.
Much better than my old timing.
That was not all...we did 3 times of 150m and then step-ups.
3 sets of 20 each leg. The schedule was quite heavy but we completed it.
I hope to be able to keep up with the faster runners and by so improve on my stamina.

Training

Today's post concerns yesterday's training.
Training was in the morning and it had just stop raining and it was pretty cold outdoors.
We ran the usual 6 rounds for warm-up then stretching.
Our schedule was 4 times of 600m and then a short run along the canal till we reach the overhead bridge then back again.The weather was very cold even when we were running.
I tried to pushed myself to go faster and here's mine timing...
1) 2.25min
2) 2.21min
3) 2.22min
4) 2.26min
The track was quite slippery but fortunately... we didn't fall down.
My legs were pretty stiff while i was doing the long run(short run should i say).
I hope to be able to increase my stamina and become a better runner.

Training

Today's training was at Monkey haven...Mac Ritchie.
As it was in the morning the 4.8km time trail's trail was quite slippery.
Not saying muddy too. By the time i finished my run...my whole shoe was
covered in mud. Mr Tay gave us each a powergel.
It was my first time tasting a powergel and i had the fortune to get chocolate flavour.
Which i totally hate. I swallowed the whole gel (with the help of a lot of water).
Mine group was to start first then after another minute another group will start.
I finished for a time of 24.28mins...better than my first trail but a lot short of my expected time.
The powergel did help me i think. I hope i can do better the next time trail...let me set a target of 23.30mins.I hope to beat that time.

Training

Today's training was at bishan stadium.
We did 6 rounds of jogging for warm-up outside the stadium.
After doing drills, We did 3 times of 1km.
Rest between intervals is 8 mins.
The approximate timing was 4.30min.
On my first run...my timing was 4.25min.
Not far off from the apx. time. I tried to improve but couldn't.
My timing for the second time was 4.33mins.
Even though it was just a few secs slower i told myself to continue and perservere.
The last set was to be done together as a group.
I started out quite slow as it was quite squeezy and i couldn't get to be in the front.
My timing was very slow.4.37mins.
Not the best but i tried.My total timing for all was 13.35mins.
If thats the pace for 4.8km...my timing at mac ritchie time trail would have been 21.36mins.
So here i am setting a target for this friday's trail.My target is 23mins.
Hope i can improve...

Training

Today's training was in school at 8.30.
We did 10mins warm up,stretch and then we went out for a run.
We ran to the 'garden' and upon reaching there...
We did 40secs of striding,60secs,80secs,100secs,80secs,60secs,40secs.
After that we just ran back to school.
I find the run quite ok... i wasn't very tired.
After the run, we rested for 5 mins and continued with some exercises.
Sit-ups,Lunging(don't know whether correct spelling),step-ups and back-raiser.
2 sets of 20.The training today was quite easy. I like training at 8.30 !

Training

Today"s training was at Mac Ritchie in the afternoon.
We had a time trail but not on the same trail.
This time it was a 4.3km run and my timing was 24.07 mins.
If my calculations are right...i was slower today.
The trail was very slippery and steep at parts that is why i went slow on the down slope.
The trail was full of obstacles. The mud, the wet floor and the stones and bricks.
I nearly had a fall.When we ran beside the main road...i was already quite tired.
I hope to improve my timing the next time trail.
