as part of my marathon training, i racewalked to my office in the morning. since i am allowed to slip into casual clothings on fridays, it is a convenient day for a morning workout.
i left my clothes in office the day before so that my hands and back were free for the training session.
i took my usual driving route which brings me to office via boundary road, paya lebar road, geylang road, guillemard road, nicoll highway. the distance calculated by mapmyrun.com is 14km while my heart rate monitor indicates 13km. bearing in mind that the calculations do not include elevations and detours, my rough estimation of the entire journey is approximately 14.5km - 15km.
commuters on the paya lebar road will know its atrocity during peak hours and the erp pricing at the entrance of nicoll highway is steep. so there i was, walking past stationary cars with clear reflections of my style which provided a comprehensive feedback on my technique. if you are puzzled by my actions, i often use surrounding objects (such as reflective billboards and cars) to check on my walking technique. since i train alone, i have to improvise certain things to accomplish my day's objectives.
the best part of the morning's workout was being able to walk through a jam and an erp gantry without the annoying beep from my iu unit.
