Running

I coach on a voluntary basis—anywhere from the 1500m up to the 10km distance. Of course, I'm not officially (IAAF) recognized, this is more of a side hobby. In high school, I used to run competitively for Raffles Institution (800m/ cross country).

My training philosophy (as with most things in life): consistency pays. Train smart, consistently and sustainably. Know your body and practise intensity control.

I read up on sports science research papers in my free time, so feel free to contact me if you want to bounce ideas. I have a working list of ideas that I'm thinking about here.

Running Now

Completed a 2.4km training block that reduced ~20s on effective run time through Jan Hoff's 4 x 4'/3' protocol. Analysis to come later.

Ideas include: building data visualisers from Strava data, integrating ML for analysis.
