6th Week HM Training

It's Thursday on the 6th week into the half marathon training. Another 3 weeks to go before ripping the results of what supposed to be a proper trained half marathon. I am supposed to run an 8k this morning but I felt tired upon waking up. There's this lethargic feeling and heavy headed. Though I thought I had an 8 hours sleep last night, probably the other 2 late night sleeps eventually caught up on me. That is the most obvious reasons.

I decided to skip this run and take a 2 days rest, which include tomorrow as scheduled. A good rest and recovery is inevitable to prepare for the coming Saturday 10K race simulation. 

Work on the other hand is consistently coming in. I owe 2 design jobs till the weekend. Hence this morning is the perfect time to wrap up both jobs.

My plantar fasciitis is mild nowadays. Probably from the longer and consistent post run stretching and the alkali drink. The anti-oxidant content helps relieve the inflammation.

I am thinking to squeeze in one or two strength/interval training this coming weeks. Objectively to help with getting faster.

June Part 2

Dah masuk minggu kedua Jun. Rasa macam dah lama since last posting aku padahal awal Jun hari tu. Hahaha! Raya haji 17-Jun, lagi 3 hari. Aku bz print baju sukarelawan korban surau. 100 helai. Aku ambil masa 4 hari. Pagi aku print batch by batch. Petang aku lipat. Mujur cuma artwork kecik print kat dada kiri so pantas la jugak & tak perlu nak setting beriya sangat untuk make sure tegak dll. Kalau artwork besar memang leceh sikit & sensitif apatah lagi bila senget. Dah jadi kat beberapa job, mujur tak obvious sangat tapi knowing aku yang cerewet dengan kualiti kerja memang rasa sedikit tak puas hati. Polo Microfiber Untung job baju korban sebenarnya dah habis aku guna untuk bayar bil. TNB, Air Selangor, Unifi, Digi, Bil TNB & Air Selangor memang tinggi sikit 1-2 bulan lepas sebab rumah penuh. Tambah pulak ada paip bocor selepas meter. Hmmm...so basically angan-angan aku nak ada extra sikit dari untung job korban ke angin lalu je. Even, hasrat untuk sign-up ScoreRun 1OK pun dah

June Final Part ...kot

Semalam aku came across kat @threads (dulunya panggil Twitter) ada sorang runner yang training lari lebih kurang macam aku walaupun dia baru 32 tahun. HM PB dia 2:02. Basically yang sama sebab dia guided by COROS training load approach. Bila training intensity/load tinggi, hence ada fitness improvement. So dia cuma lari 2-3 kali seminggu termasuk 1 long run on weekends & 1 interval training.  Aku memang ke arah training method macam tu juga sebab lately aku kurang berlari setiap hari & bila ada peluang, aku akan lari ikut feel, effort & sambil-sambil monitor heart rate. Aku tak ikut heart rate zones sangat. So far base pada past experience, training yang easy resulted to slow progress. Walaupun orang kata kena sabar & trust the process tapi kadang-kadang masa & peluang untuk aku bukan satu luxury. Apatah lagi bila badan rasa sendu dari aktiviti lain selain berlatih. Probably aku akan guna pakai method ni buat masa ni dulu & see how it goes bila aku dapat sign up

Sigma - Alpha

Quite some time ago aku ada find out peoples' characters. Google sana sini. Basically more kepada nak determine myself. Siapa aku? Who am I? How do I fit in the social hierarchy? Unfortunately or shall I say, relieved , hierarchy dari Alpha sampai ke Omega ke bawah, Sigma is not anywhere in between. In fact Sigma sama level dengan Aplha dan tidak langsung berada dalam social hierarchy. He's outside the circle/pyramid, on his own doing whatever independantly. Aku ada most of the Sigma karakter. That's why kadang-kadang aku lebih prefer untuk avoid & leave whatever benda or situasi yang mengarut especially dari seorang alpha yang palatao. To me, he's totally fake & full of crap. His moral compass require calibration. Aku boleh bertahan up to certain level. When I'm done, I'll leave. The wisest thing to do. Itu yang pernah aku buat masa aku resign from my latest job a few years back. Bila CEO dah mula palatao & ada simptom nak scam aku, aku terus tender
