On the 1st day of February 2010, I decided that my running needs to kick start for my long distance runs in May 2010. After I stopped running and training for about 2 months since the Singapore Marathon 2009 in December, it was back to zero or square one again for me, I reset my training and running mileage clock back to zero, starting fresh again for a new target.<\/p>\n

Looking for Jack Lan<\/span><\/a> and he asked me to go Power Physical Training (PT) Running first with Brian Lam<\/span><\/a> and catch up after that. Since it had been a long time since I went through Power PT and quite some time since I went running, I thought, why not ? Returning from work, packing up some stuff and went off to meet the runners to Telok Blangah Hill Park.<\/p>\n

Power PT Running today was running the uphill road followed by downhill road, a loop around the summit of Telok Blangah Hill Park. The time target was 2min 30s for every loop with rest time of 3 minutes, repeating over 5 times. Being an unfit person as of now & a slight age gap, I think my timing was between 3 mins to 3mins 22s for every run.<\/p>\n

Whether I am training for sprints, short distance, medium distance or long distance running, Power PT Running does have its place in a physical training regime and must be part of any sports training regime. Reflecting back the time when I learned the techniques of Power PT, the training runs were like 4 rounds of 100m run and 4 rounds of 400m run, within a stipulated time frame, aerobic training<\/a><\/span><\/strong> and anaerobic training<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A return of (Mini) Power PT Running, I used to be a much fitter person, as age catches up, we have to train harder to maintain the level of fitness that we desire when we were younger. I confess that I have to train more and harder than my younger counterparts, I will push myself, improve my own fitness and I run my own race !<\/p>\n

My training philosophy is to train together for a common target – Run Your Own Race and I am NOT here to race against people.<\/p>\n

Let this be a start of my regular training runs towards my May 2010 running goal !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
