Nobody plan to fail, they just fail to plan What a difference having a plan makes With a plan I normally can run this hilly 10k loop in Bandar Sri Damansara at 5'46"/km pace Today I thought of just running by feel and finished in a significantly slower 6'6"/km pace, what a difference 😬 I was running way too fast at the start especially on the first hilly loop where I should have paced myself, as the result I was exhausted in the second half of the run, so that's the negative split out of the window Failure is one of life's best teacher Class dismissed Lesson learned (Oh, btw, that round object in the sky in the above picture is the moon and not the sun) #slowkidsofinstagram #nikefuel #nikeplus #nikerunning #running #runner #instarunners #run

Running have thought that having a plan and with the right discipline and with regular practice I can achieve my physical goals The mind is just like your muscles, it is trainable and it gets better everyday with consistent training This is my next (mental) race, in 4 months time God willing I will ace this online course Wish me luck Love to chat but I gotta go and train Today is intervals (study) session 5 x 25 minutes study with 5 minutes rest in between #nofilter #machinelearning #udacity #investing #trading #study

I've been studying for this online course on coursera.org called "Computational Investing Part 1" for the last 2 months I'm so happy to have scored 100% for it woohoo 🤗 I'm hooked on improving both my mind and my body these days Oh, occasionally I also try to improve my photography 🤓😜 #coursera #computational #investing #study #mentallyslowkidsofinstagram #100%

Interval run 3 x work 3 min in zone 4-5 recover 7 min in zone 3 There's nothing like doing intervals in the morning to start your day Apart from the runner's high, doing intervals also helps with sleep Last week I had the deepest and most refreshing sleep in a long long time on intervals day If it wasn't because of my boss waking me up I'd slept at my desk till it's time to go home #slowkidsofinstagram #running #nikefuel #nikeplus #nikerunning #runner #instarunners

There's one guy I'm following on Instagram who went from being obese to now running the 10K in the low 40 minutes and doing 19 minutes 5Ks Wow, just wow Imagine if he did not decide to take up running to lose weight, he wouldn't have discovered his inner superman It just reminds me of how many of us live our lives without realising our true potential We all have our own reasons for running Some of us run to lose weight, to get fit, to be the best version of themselves or all of the above Me Well I run to find my significance in this world, it's my personal struggle to prove that I'm more than just another pretty face #slowkidsofinstagram #nike #running #nikeplus #nikerunning #morethanjustaprettyface #runningbesideatrain

I dedicate this run to my most loyal followers the untiring staff at the NSA who has been following all my social media posts and then some To their untiring efforts to create a totalitarian surveillance state to keep the general population in control This run is for you #NSA #newworldorder #slowkidsofinstagram #nike #running #nikeplus #nikerunning

I looked up to the sky yesterday morning and saw an amazing sight There on the velvety deep dark blue morning sky were two very bright stars, one above and the other below a brilliant crescent moon My iPhone camera wasn't able to capture the beauty and majesty of the sight The above picture was the best that I could do It turned out that I was wrong because those weren't stars. According to the "Night Sky" app on my iPhone the star above the moon is the planet Jupiter and the one below is the planet Venus Isn't the universe amazing (Oh, BTW if you count any more than the two planets, then that's just dust on your phone screen, gross) #runner #running #slowkidsofinstagram #nike #nikeplus #nikerunning #nouranusjokesplease

I've got an idea for a social running app to help find running buddies You have profile of runners where you swipe right if you like to run with that person or swipe left if you'd rather run away in the other direction I call the app "Runder" #nike #nikeplus #nikerunning #runder #forevereunningalone #slowkidsofinstagram #slowkidsofrunder #running #runner

The above picture was from a few weeks back at the peak of the air pollution from the forest fires in neighbouring Indonesia The air is pretty clear for nearly a week now so let's resume the running I feel like my fitness level have reseted to zero after not running for quite a while It's really consistent work that counts otherwise all that mileage will count to naught with long periods of inactivity Lesson learned #nike #nikeplus #running #run #slowkidsofinstagram #runner

If a tree falls in the forest and there's nobody's there to hear it does it make a sound? If a runner just ran and didn't share his/her run on all the social networks does it count? Don't be silly, the answer is no to both questions So this run is a 5 x 800m intervals with 400m RI with 10 minutes warmup and cool down #slowkidsofinstagram #nikerunning #nikeplus #running #runner

10km long run Started at 11am and it was already hot and humid. Just a good example of how much heat affects performance. My heart was racing even when I jogged slowly. I guess my body was trying to lower my core temperature by pumping more blood. Anyway I saw a TED talk video which says that running can help generate new brain cells. Google: "running brain cells" if you don't believe me So double tap on the photo above if running have made you smarter Thank you genius 😃 #runner #running #nikeplus #nikerunning #slowkidsofinstagram

I laugh hard when I read this email. This is the only time that a race makes me any money. Through a race cancellation. Hehe. Probably I should use the money for another race but there's none which interest me at the moment. I don't run for the bling, I run mainly to be fit #scklm #scklm2015 #race #running #runner

All that hard work really paid off. This is my best HM so far. I felt calm and relaxed the whole way. I had no cramps at all. Amazing! I even felt so full of energy after collecting my medal. Felt like I can continue running another HM. #slowkidsofinstagram #runner #running #nikeplus #scklm #scklm2015 #LIHATLAHDUNIAAAAA

4 x 1200m intervals = runtogasm No more easy runs for me. Running at a comfortable and easy pace trains me to be comfy. I really need to always be uncomfortable, always stretching myself Be comfortable at being uncomfortable Train myself to be at ease with the pain No more easy runs for me Either I go hard or I stay home #running #skoi #slowkidsofinstagram #nikeplus #nikerunning #runner

The good news is that I've achieve another running milestone. 4000km yo' wohoo! The bad news is that my fitness level is obviously decreasing. Just ran a 5K at 2 minutes off my PB and slower that my last year's 10K race pace Horrific! 😢👎 #runner #nikerunning #nikeplus #slowkidsofinstagram #skoi #running

The good news is I got some mileage in today The bad news is, I was supposed to do a 24 km long run today but went to bed very late last night and wasn't feeling too strong this morning. Went out for a run at 9 AM and it was already hot and getting hotter. My lack of discipline is my downfall as usual In another unrelated news, just read that Adidas just purchased Runtastic That should be interesting #running #nike #nikeplus #runtastic #adidas #nikerunning

Nice and easy 6 miles in the morning My frustration with the Nike plus app continues. I'm not exaggerating but it's the least responsive app on my phone by far. Whenever I press a button or make a selection it takes quite some time to do anything At the very least the app could show a busy indicator so at least the user knows that he/she has pressed the button correctly I don't think it's a problem with my iPhone five because all my other apps including Runkeeper works fine This problem has been going on for ages When is Nike going to fix this? Yesterday they said tomorrow Come on Nike, just do it #nikesupport #nikeplus #nikerunning #runkeeper #running #instarunners #justfixit #yesterdayyousaidyoullfixittomorrow

Time for a new pair of shoes. My first pair of running shoes are Nike's Lunarlons. Then I changed to Brooks which give me Plantar Fasciitis. My current pair of of shoes are Adidas and it's giving me blisters due to the narrow toe box. I guess it's time to get back to Nikes again. The Nike+ app is a monumental piece of 💩. It's a good thing that Nike shoes are a lot better that their software. #nikeplus #runner #nikerunning #nike #adidas #brooks #nikeplus #nikesupport
