The top four stories of the blog
From the statistics, the top of the list for the most popular post was on 'Man Dies in Singapore Standard Chartered Marathon'. I believe that it is important to take care of ourselves when we compete in any race. There is a fine line to compete and to go beyond our capacity. If we feel disoriented when we run a race, at any point, it is important to stop during the race.
The second position of the most popular read article goes to 'How to improve Standing Broad Jump'. I think that basically, people from all walks of life would like to improve in this item, especially between the age of 6 and 40 years. After 40, I would suggest one not to try Standing Broad Jump as one might injure one's meniscus or tear a ligament. After 40, one goes through a geriatric stage where one's body is going through deterioration. One can retard the aging process through exercise but jumping and hopping activity should be done with caution.
The third most-read article is on Ashley Liew's frustration as an aspiring runner. We just hope that one will run races where the distance marker is placed properly. Till now, races like Great Eastern in Singapore has been organised properly. Race organisers should treat this with care or an athlete is just wasting one's money through running a not measured race and run for fun instead of progressing oneself in running performance. A runner cannot pace set oneself because of this.
The fourth most popular article was on 'How to train from scratch'. This shows that people are interested in marathons. At first, this article was not the top ten of the chart. Over a period, it landed in top 10 and now has attained the fourth position.
I would wish all Chinese readers a Happy and prosperous Lunar New Year of the Dragon.
