#10MinsChallenge
Run the Furthest in 10-mins to win a pair of MetaRacer at a Treadmill
Friend shared this news with me on Thursday and I decided to give it a try. Sign up straightaway and choose the first slot of the day 11am-12pm (finish it and can go back home), continue for a session later in the evening.
I had made a phone call to the ASICS Outlet at Pavilion on the day before to find out the maximum speed of the treadmill, but no one pick up. 😅
I woke up early to have some breakfast and load up a short of @beetitsportmy 90 minutes before 11am. I reached there early to find out the maximum speed of the treadmill. Knowing that it is 20kph, so it should be fine to hold all the way to the end. if it is a much higher speed like 23 - 25 kph or even more, I have to do some calculations and come out with different strategy.
Then I went to Starbucks and load up caffeine since I am quite tire at that moment. Did an imagination session on my own of running at 20kph on my mind before doing the real challenge.
I then went to the shop at around 11.10am after unload at toilet and suit up calves and quads compression from @bauerfeindsportsmalaysia
As there are 3 participants in every hour slot, and glad that both of them complete it before 11.30am, I have the 30 minutes for just myself.
Had a 4-5 min warm up run on the treadmill, gradually increasing the speed. You need a longer warm up as you are running indoor, where the environment is cold due to the air-conditioning.
Did some quick drills and striding at 20kph on the treadmill just to get the feeling and engaging all the muscles required to fire for 10 min continuously later.
Set up metronome at 185 bpm, put on one side of my @jaybirdmalaysia Jaybird Vista, set up the GoPro to record the whole session.
Challenge Begin... Thanks Melissa for quickly tune it up to 20 kph once the 10 min time is set.
To be continue...
