25th May 2008
Time: 7.15am
Venue: Macritchie Reservoir
Training: Long Slow Run
Timing: 1h 24min
Distance: 16km
Been a while since I last run at Macritchie as well as running a 10 miler and the fact to run with Zhiyong. I managed to achieve a negative split but my gait was rather sluggish towards the last few km; probably due to the fact I have not been running that far for so long.
Anyway it's my Mentor, Uncle Lim Lian Hock 58th birthday today. Together with Zhiyong, we bought him a Goldlion wallet from Metro and celebrated his birthday at AMK Blk 527 Market. I know it sounds a bit off... celebrating birthday at a market but it has been a norm for us.... haha

9th May 2008
Time : 6.20am
Venue: Woodlands Stadium Loop + 5 rounds Track
Training : 34min slow run - approx 7km
Shoe : Nike Air Vomero 2+
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I wanted to try out my Nikeplus wristband on my estimated 3.2km loop. I was so shocked that it only clocked 2.68km and it took me 20.30min ....which means I am doing 7min 38sec/km. That's like super duper slow !
With utter misbelief and feeling unjustified, I jog to the stadium and starting doing loops to check my calibration. I realised that for every 400m I ran, it clocked only 320m, OMG!
If you have been following up my posts, you should know that i have just calibrated it yesterday and it is supposed to be more accurate...
Anyway one possible reason I could think of is the different shoe used. I was wearing a Nike Triax yesterday and Vomero today. Triax is a more responsive shoe that Vomero or should I say Vomero offers much more cushioning that Triax which might have resulted in the difference.

8 May 2008
Venue: Woodlands --Admiralty West Road(Big Loop) & 2 rounds stadium track
Time: 4.30pm
Training: 12km (11.2km + 0.8km) Long Slow Run
Shoe: Nike Air Triax+
Avg HR : 165bpm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I ran my normal long run route with the Nike+ WristBand; interestingly it reflected 12.04km at the end of the run which i feel was overestimated. So I went to the stadium and did a calibration by running 800m. It shown 860m instead anyway which is 93% accuracy with reference to the actual distance. I'm going to try running on track again on my next run to check it's consistency after calibration.
By the way, I did a screen shot of what will be recorded in the Nikeplus.com
(After calibration, the distance should be only around 11.2km)
Cool right! It actually shows the pace I clock every km as well as the total distance, pace, time and calories burned. In addition, I am able to name the run which I did, naming it as (Long Slow Run)
My New Nike+ SportsBand
I attended a talk on Nike+ SportBand in the morning and I've won myself a free set by getting the most answers right in a post presentation review form. (Courtesy of Sacha, Nike)
It is a cool running tool that records my running pace, time and calories burned when i engaged in a run. What sweetens the package is the logging of my runs on their web portal(www.nikeplus.com) and I will be able to track and review the runs I have done over a period of time.
