Found the case to my runner’s diarrhea (Runner’s trot)

No that's not a picture of me shitting in my pants, but had abit of the runner's trot yesterday (therefore the article in my previous blog entry). Now I finally come to realize that my previous past sudden flatulence and diarrhea problems which strangely always comes and go occasionally or every 3 months or so, was due to the...

Runner’s Trots (loose stools or diarrhea after a long run)

With alot more people being ore active these days and considering that most Asians, particularly Singaporeans have a high percentage of people with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), this bowel related problem might be of particular interest. Ever went for a long run only to find lots of flatulence thereafter? Or worse, a strong urge to visit the toilet quite occasionally?...

Best way to evade credit card cold calls, Collected Swissotel VM goodie bag

Got quite a few calls from few reputable banks over the last week asking to apply for their credit and platinum credit cards. Do not know where do they get my contacts from. But I always have the heck of getting such calls and most people would usually simply slam down on them. For me, knowing that these poor...

New Balance Realrun (NBRR) 2007 Runner’s Post-race Comments

The New Balance real run 2007 had just ended and this puts one more race this year being held in the East (and so to the dismay of my people living in the west but to the joy for those in the east). It's so given the usual centralised Realrun event venue (gateway carpark in Sentosa) being permanently closed...

IVP Day 2 At Gombak Stadium, FYP On track

Today is the IVP day 2 held at Gombak stadium, the highlight event today would have to be the 10,000m run. Darius and Alvin was in representing SP and Darius came in 4th overall and Alvin11th. I remembered my race in 2005 and it was not easy especially running in the overglare of the setting evening sun. Good thing...

Solved my Polar S1 Footpod problem

First off, sorry for not updating for about a week. It had been a very very busy week with projects and doing 8-5 in the school project center. That took quite alot of time away from blogging, or just say I've not actually got into the regular habit or doing it with this new timetable, despite being in front...

Polar S1 footpod calibration blues and problem

Brought out my RS400sd for a calibration run last Wednesday and it came out rather interesting distances, infact rather different from the distances I measured from google earth. Before my footpod days, I used to use google earth and pacing to gauge distances. However the thing with satellite images is that they are all flattened images, so distance measurements...

Got my new Polar RS400sd!

Popped by Peninsula Plaza this evening to purchase my new Polar RS400sd, which I managed to get a "damned-good" lobang from a friend. Ahha! my first polar watch and a suitable successor to my Oakley O-matter sports watch. The functions and menus need some time to get accustomised to, but once using it for about 30mins, navigating the menus...

Viral Runs and more SP gyming out!

I was down with a slight cough over late last week, a viral infection possibly caught from my mum who is ironically gotten less hindered by it now contrary to me, but I kept it at bay with lots of fluids and that not as much rest. Nevertheless caught up with the runs this week, with nice scenic runs...

Mizuno Creation 8 – Heavy! Considering Polar RS400SD

Did another short 15km run yesterday evening with my old Asics DS trainers. This time it actually felt easier to run with the lighter shoes- the Mizuno is too packed with so much technology inside it simply just too heavy for running (>more than 300g). True the Mizuno have much better cushioning than my almost- disfunct DS trainers, but...

Bumping the runs and gadgets!

The holidays had been on for about 2 weeks already and come to think about it I had not blogged anything under the sun yada yada yada lately, so why not? Health and Fitness Noticeably, with the exception of the recent Sheares bridge run, you may know that I had not been running regularly these days. Not to mention not attending...

Alexandra/Tanglin Park Connector Running Route

Alexandra/Tanglin Park Connector One of my favorite central urban running routes to date, this route brings you through the breathtaking and calming estates of Alexandra and Prince Charles road alongside a canal in a straight forward closed (and no-brainer) route. The track was opened by Mr Lee Kuan Yew around 2006 and is often frequented by the residents around the...

The place started off as left over land from a sewage plant only to converted...

Sheares Bridge Run 2007 Thoughts

:mrgreen: Done with the main report, here is the more personal report: Looking back on the half-marathon today my target timing was a sub 2hour which I barely hit which a gun time of about 2hours 8mins so the nett time will be below 1hour 55mins.
