  • Gym Stories

    There’s the girl who puts the treadmill stubbornly at 10kph but can only manage to run at that pace for less than 30 seconds. Then, she holds onto the rails of the treadmill for 30 seconds, stomping away, until she runs again for another 30 seconds. There are the girls who put shirts or jackets…

  • Couples’ Running Rules

    Image by Interact Dataset Run together if possible. Run at your own pace. Take your music. Never stop and wait. Double back whenever you’re too far apart. Wait for your partner when you finish your run.

  • One Month In Training

    Image via Triathlon Training I started working out about a month ago, when I joined a nearby fitness center. It’s basically the kind of place that I had been looking for, unsuccessfully, for years. It’s one MRT station away, at Xinpu, brand new, and has everything that I need. It’s cheap, because it’s a government…

  • Klean Kanteen Vacuum Insulated Tumbler 16 Oz Review

    Hydration hasn’t really been an obsession, but it’s nice to have a nice water bottle, and to use it daily.

  • Week 2 & 3 In Training

    The weather is finally getting better, and I’m feeling quite good when it comes time to run. Instead of going for more runs, I’ve upped the mileage. It’s just because of my lack of organization. I’m going to try a few different things next week, so I should be able to go out for 4…

  • First Week Back In Training

    It’s been a while since I last went on training runs. Last year, I lost quite a bit of weight, but had trouble finding the time to train. I had also reached a plateau when it came to weight loss and fitness, meaning that I absolutely needed to run or train in order to lose…
