Due to the COVID19, all races have been cancelled, not just in Singapore, but worldwide.
At the same time, I noticed a few of the runners that I followed on Strava, who used to cover higher mileage monthly than me, have substantially reduced their mileage and number of runs. Obviously for them without any races to train for, there is no need to keep pushing, or perhaps they decided it is time for their bodies to take a rest during this period.
As for me, I am still following the rough plan that I have set out. Hit at least 200km monthly, and try to increase the total distance compared to last month. I have mostly stopped running races before this period anyway, for it was getting boring with the same routes, and the increasing prices of the running events. Besides, from the very beginning till now, my motivation to run is to stay healthy and lose weight. At my age, I am not going to win any events, nor I am going to beat most runners, who are half my age.
Still, I am quietly hoping I can complete either my first full marathon or ultramarathon this year. If not, at least I have a healthier and leaner body out of it.
