I usually run around the neighborhood during my weekday run. The typical loop is around Striling View & Queenstown stadium with about 3.3km in distance.
I run through it many many times. A year ago, my typical time will be 25 minutes, maybe 23 minutes if I push hard. This year, I have made progress. In Aug, I had the best time of 20 minutes, around 10km/h pace. However, I haven't made any improvement after that even with attempt to make a personal best. Until today, with the increased confidence from the better than expected timing in MacRitchie run, I try harder this time. And I get my personal best of 18:36, averaged 10.9km/h!
Today, I also attended a running clinic session organised by the company. When I chat with the speaker about my training progress, he gave the comment that even I have a LSD, my overall weekly mileage is too low for a full marathon. He suggest that I need to increase it to 5 runnings a week! I know that I am "cutting corner" by only focusing on the weekend LSD and not pushing my weekly mileage. My weekly mileage is only at 35km which is really not sufficient. Well, with two more months to go, I will need to make a final push to 50km weekly.
