Day 123: Cardio (6.33km in 27:30min) |

I took a rest yesterday as my right ankle still ain’t feeling ‘right’. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Today’s workout aside from wearing an ankle guard, I tried to run on the grass patches beside the cement pavement.
It’s much more forgiving to my ankle as the impact is lesser. Kinda like my grass running when I was in recovery phase when sprinting.
The pace today was 4:20 minute per km. I could have gone faster but I was targeting my aerobic zone. It’s been awhile since I did heart rate training.
I was able to do so today as my Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor from Amazon finally arrived today.
I ordered it on the 8th of August, and it took about 10 days to deliver to where I’m staying, Singapore.
The package comes with a chest strap that measures your heartbeat and the watch itself. This model has a well rated ratings at Amazon by users, that’s why I bought it.
It’s pretty simple to use, I didn’t even need to use the manual to do the settings such as stopwatch, alarm, HB upper and lower limit. I just experimented and played around with it
It’s the very basic of heart rate watch and I like it. Nothing too fancy.
It works by beeping if I go beyond or below my targeted heart rate of 70-80%, which is the aerobic zone.
I just slow down or speed up accordingly to follow the beeping feedback. It was pretty fun, very much like doing fartlek.
Aside from the running, I did the usual abs, core and upper body. It seems my left forearm has this slight niggling feeling. I don’t like it. It has been there for the past week. Hmmm indeed I’m getting old, I’ll need to recover more either by diet or rest.

Hey, I’ve tried accessing the Amazon page for Omron HR-100c through your link, but they don’t ship to my Singapore address. Did u have such an issue? Also, how much did u get yours for?
Thanks.
Hi Hui Min,
When ordering from Amazon or any USA based stores, use http://www.VPOST.com.sg.
Basically it works by providing a given US address via VPOST to deliver your package.
Upon arrival in US address, the package will be sent to Singapore next.
SingPost will then deliver to your home.
Takes about minimum 12 days to arrive Singapore for normal package of Amazon Free Super Shipping for me.
It’s cheaper too using VPOST, especially combining multiple Amazon orders into one shipment.
That’s really helpful, thank you!
