The journey started near the beginning of the year, and progress had been good for a few months. All it took was 4 weeks of inactivity and Miles’ fitness had dropped back to square one. It wasn’t just the lack of exercise and the work travels, but also the bouts of illness that had weaken his constitution… and in someways, his mental toughness.

Easy 140 bpm average HR, easy pace at 8:31mins/km. As miles laid in bed to rest at the end of the day, he didn’t feel like he ran in the morning.

History tends to repeat itself. Again, the weather has other plans for Miles. After completing his Monday cross-training swim, Miles had to skip the next two days of running. The body seems to adapt quite well. Last week’s swim was broken into 4 intervals of 200m as Miles’ body was screaming for help. The swim session this week was much improved as Miles managed to complete the 900m swim non stop. Miles smiled to himself “I’m back!!!” So this week was worst than last week, in that Miles had to skip two days of running […] - [A Field Guide to the Wild Creatures of Our Running Community](https://runningshots.sg/a-field-guide-to-the-wild-creatures-of-our-running-community/): In the concrete jungle of Singapore (where it's always hot, humid, and sometimes extremely wet), runners of all shapes and sizes and paces roam free.  From East Coast Park to MacRitchie, from Marina Bay to Bedok Reservoir, thousands of runners emerge before sunrise every weekend be it for a casual run, a social run or a race. While scientists classify humans into one species (Homo sapiens), runners like our early cousin, Hominoidea can be classified into different sub-species.

After missing 2 workout sessions in Week 2, Miles was determined not to miss any more session in Week 3. Miles started Monday with a morning swim as cross training. It has been a few years since he last swam and the body was complaining almost immediately. Not only were his arms tired, his breath was also labored. He had to take a break every 200m, and it ended up as a 4 x200m swim, with a rest break in between sets. Body was aching, but the mind was determined.

First week of the program went without a hitch. Except for missing out on the Cross Training on Monday, the rest of the runs were completed at an easy pace. At the start of Week 2, blame it on his busy schedule, or just his laziness, Miles decided to skip Monday’s cross training again.

Even when we’re out running in a group – we mostly chit chat before running – or does the dash to the toilet count as warm-up? For those who do some semblance of a warm up – it is usually a couple of stretches and that’s about it. Question is – do we really need to do any warm-up before running?

With the 21km Intermediate-1 training program, they now have a 12-weeks plan, which is 50% more than the previous 8-weeks 10km program. Even though there’s runway for a gradual increase to the long run distances, it still looks daunting to the Trio.

A loud fart louder than the cockerel crowning away escapes. You’d like to think it’s your body’s turbo kicking in, but your running kakis beside you immediately go, “Eeeeee!” and suddenly discover sprinting speed they didn’t know they posses as they dash away from the toxic cloud.

It was a hectic 3 weeks (Week 6-8) leading to the final 10km “Race”. Unfortunately, Murphy’s Law has to get in the way. As what Mike Tyson said ““Everybody has a plan until they get hit.” Miles had to travel for 2 out of the 3 weeks, disrupting his training program. On top of that, he foolishly joined his friends for a hike which he was barely trained for, leaving him exhausted for days. The two weeks travel proved the downfall of Mile’s 10km training, missing out on a total of 4 runs, including the last Long Run of 12.8km. Nevertheless, Miles still […] - [What to Watch - Marathon and Triathlon movies](https://runningshots.sg/what-to-watch-marathon-and-triathlon-movies/): It’s the school holidays, the World Cup is on, and outside it’s raining cats and dogs every other day.

Miles felt good throughout week 5 of the 10km Intermediate Training program. After the fast paced 5km Time Trial last weekend, he felt that the runs this week was a lot easier than before.

Everyone was feeling good after last week’s 5km Trial Run. It was tough, but definitely worth the effort. It was indeed a feel-good run for the Trio. This week marks the start of the second half for the 10km Intermediate training program. Miles is looking forward to the next four weeks, but at the same time feeling a bit uneasy. Workload from the office has started to increase and he foresee that his work may take precedence over his training. “It’s all about adaptation” Miles consoled himself, thinking he should be able to adjust his schedule around […] - [PAL Run 2026 Singapore](https://photos.runningshots.sg/galleries/pal-run-2026-singapore) - [Journey to Fitness Chapter #13: Battle of Midway](https://runningshots.sg/journey-to-fitness-chapter-13-battle-of-midway/): Midway Battle with a 5km Trial Run Finally, we have reached the half way point of the 10km Intermediate Training Program.

Yah we don’t want to look stupid right? Don’t worry—you’re not alone. Running has its own language, but once you understand the basics, everything from training to race day suddenly makes a lot more sense (and you won’t feel blur like sotong during post-run kopi chats).

The new program demanded a lot more discipline and determination from Miles, Wade and Gallop. The tempo run in the first week was an unknown, but at least it was a gradual increase in pace till the peak and a gradual decrease. At the start of the 2nd week, Miles could feel the body taking a toll. Monday is a constant 4.8km every week, a good warm up for the rest of the week. Tuesday’s run sees an increase in 800m (half a mile) every week. It will gradually get more and more difficult.

The first four consecutive runs was a big change from the Novice Training Program. Miles had to keep reminding himself not to push too hard for these 4 runs.

But are you familiar with plogging? Many runners may not have heard of it, or perhaps have even practised it subconsciously without realising. So, what exactly is plogging? Plogging began in Sweden around 2016 as an organised activity to combat plastic pollution, and it gained global popularity by 2018. In simple terms, it is the act of running while picking up litter.

He had completed countless of race before with distances ranging from 5km to the Marathon, and […] - [Run Safe - Watch out for Traffic](https://runningshots.sg/run-safe-watch-out-for-traffic/): Recently, I was standing at a traffic light waiting for it to turn green so I could cross. To my shock, a lady jogger ran past me and straight onto the road. Fortunately, the approaching car managed to stop in time. Incidents like this are not uncommon, as frequently seen on social media platforms such as Roads.sg and SGRV. The whole purpose of jogging, running, cycling, or any form of exercise is to stay fit and not end up in a hospital.

This caused a major disruption to his original 10km Novice Training program. Miles quickly adjusted the scheduling by bringing forward the 1hr Cross Training to Friday, and push the weekend long run to Sunday. All 5 activities are still intact, albeit re-arranged to suit his travel plans. As his work week winds down on Friday evening, it was the perfect opportunity for Miles to take a 1 hour walk in Central Bangkok, exploring the vibrant mix […] - [Why We’re at Some Races… and Not Others](https://runningshots.sg/why-were-at-some-races-and-not-others/): Ever wondered why you see us snapping away at some races… but not others?

Time for Miles and the buddies to go for their long run in their Week 5 program. They decided to do their long run early to avoid the heat from the sun.

Time for Miles and the buddies to go for their long run in their Week 5 program. As Miles did his 3.2km run the day before instead of resting due to work commitments, he’s not sure if the body will be conditioned for the long run. They decided to do their long run early to avoid the heat from the sun. True enough, Miles started to feel the fatigue and had to struggle to complete the second half of the run.

Into the second half of the program. Miles has been training consistently for the past 4 weeks, following the program as closely as possible. But as Mike Tyson once said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”. The best of plan may still need adjustments. Due to work commitments, Miles had to work late into the night (Morning to be exact) on Wednesday, and thus had to skip the Thursday morning run.

Fresh air, endorphins, quality time, maybe even a nice coffee after. What could possibly go wrong? Plenty, as it turns out. Many runners who convince their spouse or partner to join them soon discover that couple running has its own unique… challenges. Nothing serious of course, but enough to make even the most loving relationship test its pacing strategy. 1. The Pace Problem This is the classic. One partner sets off thinking it’s a relaxed run.

How would we communicate? How would we scroll TikTok or catch up on Instagram? In the same way, many runners today probably can’t imagine running properly without a GPS watch and a phone. How else would we know our pace, distance, heart rate, cadence, elevation, sleep score, stress score—and probably our life purpose? But not too long ago, runners survived just fine without all that tech. In fact, gear like GPS watches, smartphones, and even compression wear were unheard of. So what did runners rely on back then?

However, Miles made one minor change to the plan, opting to start from Week 2 of the first Micro Plan of 10km (Novice) schedule since the long run of 4.8km in week 1 seems easily achievable for the three of them.

And if there’s one thing we love more than eating… it’s queuing to eat. Ask any runner why they run and the honest answer is: “So I can eat.” We don’t just plan races.
