ENDURANCE TRAINING TALK

yest we had an endurance training talk from coach. It was at Geylang Serai Community Club... relatively difficult to find. But thanks to Sukaimi from SG runners for helping us to source out for the venue..
it has been really great help...
another person to thank is Peishan who has painstakingly helped out in the event...it was hard work gal... great job!the talk began with people strolling in and stopping at the main entrance to pay the event fee $7.50...
we provided drinks and cakes from polar for them... i guess its just something to keep their stomachs not aching so much from the hunger.

after all the waiting, the talk finally started at about 742p.m...
coach went through a video on kenyas running and focussed on the posture.. he then went thru tips to strengthen core muscles and also the need to do those exercises..

the talk also included the MUST, SHOULD and COULD... three key components...
the videos were interesting! we did not realised that the videos he took of us actually went into the presentation! sneaky coach!

after some detailed explanation, he went on to explain the different training methods... he also talked about the watch I was wearing which could track the pace I was running and the distance I covered... the NIKE PLUS.... it is a good watch....

coach was teaching the endurance runners how to run their long runs at their target race pace... and to separate them.. however, it would be great to have a watch like NIKE PLUS...

the talk then went on to tempo runs, VO2 MAx, lactate threshold...
and a lot more... it was a little too much..
coach informed me that the info was supposed to be covered in 2 talks and not one...however, he tried to make the best use of the time to cover as much as he could...

after the talk, feedback was great!many were impressed! some wanted to go training under coach, however, coach is very focussed about his 15 athletes... and not really willing to accept more..

but he is considering of having a practical session as a workshop or a 3 months leading to a race training programme...
not much details are finalised yet..

if people out there are interested please feel free to email me at : crazy_sumiko@yahoo.com

anyway ERIC whom i know from MR 25... came down to help promote some NIKE products...
the shoes are great! I was introducing the Volmero series to SHU!... hope she buys them as a great use...

SHU and me went to rebond our hair together today.. thanks babe... it was great! and she asked me to go back to cut more of my fringe because my fringe looks kinda weird with so little cut...she is persuading me to get a bob!!! oh no!

and shu bought me a nice top from Holland.. she refused to tell me which shop she bought from... the next time i go shopping i wont bring her along... will get her something super nice!and here is my new rebonded hair!
