It's always great exploring cities through running. Here are some run routes that I'd been to during my last visit in Taiwan! 🇹🇼

*I run at these spots mainly because it's closer and more accessible to where I was staying.

Taipei - Zhongzheng Memorial Park (outer loop)
- 2 km loop around the park, with wide enough pavement.
- It's in the city, so the roads get quite busy on working days.
- This spot is good for easy runs and some touring after run as it's a tourist spot!

Taipei - Zhongzheng Memorial Park (outer loop)

Taipei - Along the riverside routes
- One of my favourite spots to run here
- Dedicated run and bike paths along the river side
- The route length could easily stretch over 25km around the city
- Well lit for the most part, with a beautiful night view of the city
- This spot is good for any kind of run, especially long runs!

Taipei - Along the riverside routes

Taichung - WenHsin First Park
- 1km loop around the park
- Easy access by train and public facilities and marts around
- Some parts of the route may feel narrow as it gets crowded on weekend mornings
- Not the best spot for longer runs, but good if you are looking for somewhere accessible by train.

Taichung - WenHsin First Park

Taichung - Central Park
- A HUGE park with multiple routes to run, running outer loop can go up to ~5km
- Accessible public toilets all around the park.
- Wide path for runners and bicycles.
- Mostly locals visit this park.
- One downside is that it's not directly accessible by train
- The closest train station is ~1.5km away, and it's not too pedestrian friendly
- Still my fav spot in Taichung to run!

Impressed by the number of basketball and volleyball courts they have in the park.

They have a visitor center with all information as well! taken in Taiwan by @johan_1

"Raya Runner" HM: 1:43:10 (Chip time)

It wasn't the number I was chasing but PB nonetheless!

The final 1km of KLSCM has always been the BEST part of the race with people cheering on all runners. 🥳

Next up... Shanghai Marathon + Hyrox KL!

Retest session with @johan_1 - Hyrox athlete🌟
Did a VO₂max and lactate threshold test at ULTRA lab @ultralab.my 🏃  Combine VO₂max and lactate threshold test reveal far more than most athletes expect ✅ 
Most training plans are built on feel or generic zone charts. Testing replaces that with your own actual physiology🫁 
➡️ VO₂max testing measures his true aerobic ceiling and identifies where his current limitation lies — is it cardiac limitation, utilization of VO2max, or something else holding output back
➡️ LT1 and LT2 mark the two key intensity shifts in his system — LT1 is where effort starts becoming less purely aerobic, LT2 is where it tips into unsustainable
➡️ Fuel utilization data shows how much fat versus carbohydrate his body relies on at each intensity.
➡️ Together, these results build individualized training zones — specific to his physiology, not a percentage of estimated max heart rate 
In a hybrid endurance sport, knowing exactly where these thresholds sit, what’s limiting performance, and how the body fuels itself at race is what separates data-driven training from guessing ✨ 
📲WhatsApp us to book the test if you want to know where your numbers stand.

First race of the year did not go as planned, but at least my quads look ripped 🦵🏼

Crossing the line slower than last year is demotivating, and self doubt starts creeping in: was my effort in training not enough, was it the programming, was it just an off day etc.

But that's the thing about race preps, the results are never guaranteed, and the best thing you can do is to learn from the mistakes and put in the effort for the next one.

Now that I've shaken off the rust, I'm fired up for the coming months!

Weekly recap
- Only easy mileage for maintenance
- Milk drunk faces, at this point my photo album is full of his face 😅
- Practice audition for next year CNY MV

The current aim is to recover fully and be pain free, and the only way to do so is to take a step back and focus on the important things.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to let go of your ego and do what's right.

Move the needle in the right direction...

Weekly Recap
- Full moon head shave, bro is chill
- Squeezing in workouts whenever possible
- 24 hour gym is the way to go
- Trainee baby masseur
- KLSCM pacer assessment, pace not followed

It's been a tiring week, balancing family, work and fitness is just TOUGH. Admittedly, I'm not doing a good enough job so far. The process of improving goes on, no excuses
