Run -- 6.69k, 45:37

Notes

After several days of heavy tropical rain, finally a dry (but still cloudy, muggy) morning, so got outside again. Ran through the Botanic Gardens, very beautiful and rather hilly so pace was pretty much a crawl between that and the weather. Fly tonight and back early AM, so providing I'm not too stiff from being crammed into economy seats for 13 hours, should be good to hit up My 8 x 3' tmrw.

it definitely felt like a good workout.

nice and easy. lovely morning, if a bit damp. 40F/5C is the perfect temperature.

Solid. Enjoying holiday but SGP+CNY is just an overload of oily foods and meats so I'm missing my light vegetable and whole grain diet a bit

- supportive speed
-- warm up
-- 5 x [1600m @ 90-92% 5k, 400m @ 80% 5k]
-- cool down
well, i'd been complaining about workouts being too easy. this one was a solid RPE 8. nice. reps were right on 4:15-4:16 pace, spot on. a few of the recovery intervals were a little slow, more like 77% (4:48 instead of 4:41), but the last one was right on the money.

my fav style of workout from the nate jenkins school of alternations!

i just bought a pair of red hare 8 pros to replace my evo SL's. sirpoc endorsed, and i've seen a couple other threads where people say they fit the same as evo SL's in the same size (half a US size up from normal). looking forward to them!

if you were planning a trip to the states anytime soon i'd ask you to pick me up a few li-nings in singapore, i bet they're cheaper there  ::)

ETA: did you have a chance to try on any of the other li-nings? specifically, the feidian challengers? just a little worried about width, only reason i haven't pulled the trigger on a pair yet.

Li-Nings are TTS for me (or same as I use for Clifton 8/9, Evo SL and Zoom Fly 6). I did try the Feidian 6 Challenger, yes! Volume-wise, width wasn't an issue, but the midsole felt narrow. Less narrow than, e.g., Puma Deviate Nitro (unwearable for me), but a touch narrower than Evo SLs. I'd say I'd be fine with them as an occasional race shoe but not as a regular training (hence skipping them).

- run 1:11:48, 13.68 km, w/ [8 x 30s @ 5k effort, 2:30 easy] in the middle
felt nice, pace on the surges was all over the place but they were all either uphill or downhill so whatever.

Run
- w/u
- 3 x (10' on / 2' off) [13.7kmh]
- c/d

Total 56 mins

Lift -- Back Extension, Leg Press, OL Calfs, a bit of beach muscle stuff

Notes

Bought a Li-Ning Red Hare 9 Pros. It's like if you took the Evo SL and added the best parts of a Hoka shoes (wide base, nice upper). A++ and half the price of equivalent shoes.
