'This should put less strain on the heart and body, while giving the runners some time to warm up and ready their bodies for the run in a less gruelling manner,' Mr Lim said.This is a rather dumb reason
.. correction; it is not a Reason, it's an Excuse... a lame one as you so put it...Originally posted by eagle:This is a rather dumb reason
It depends on body type and genes. There are pple who will actually drop in weight.Originally posted by googoomuck:Besidesphysical health, one factor the older boys must consider is their weight. At 18 yo, they might have weighed 60-65 kgs. At 30-45 yo, their weight might have increased to 75-85 kgs - extra 15-18 kgs to carry along.![]()
Sometimes it is worth thinkingOriginally posted by reddressman:JUST HAVE 1 THING TO SAY :
EVERYONE IS BUILT DIFFERENTLY.
NOT ALL LIVE TO THE SAME AGE BEFORE THEY DIE OR RETIRE.
CONGRATS EVERYONE.
U DESERVE TO BE CONGRATULATED.
That is considered bodyweight exercises. More of a gauge of your strength relative to your bodyweight.Originally posted by kopiosatu:if we're all different then why are the standards for IPPT the same?
a heavy guy requires a lot of muscle to do a pull up
a skinny boy can do it easily
Somehow I was like that too last timeOriginally posted by casshern:i easily clock full points for the stations, but i have this nasal defect which allows me to breath through only one nostril. so i always struggle with cardiovascular activites, eg 2.4km run.
I have been reading that most of the fatality in IPPT is caused by the 2.4 km run instead of other sation. Any idea?Originally posted by eagle:Somehow I was like that too last time
But nowadays, after I did more training by myself, the problem is almost gone. However, it was a long process.
Regarding bone heavy and not being able to do chin ups is just an excuse. If people can easily train up to do chin ups with an extra 10kg or more weight, I don't see how your friend is not able to do it with 'heavy' bone. How much heavier can it be compared to normal people?
many fatalities are also caused during marathons or longer distance running... There's a thread in pumping iron on this.Originally posted by will4:I have been reading that most of the fatality in IPPT is caused by the 2.4 km run instead of other sation. Any idea?
i'm on consistant trainings, both running and swimming. but unfortunately i just cant breath properly. anyway my unit always want us to go for gold, but nothing less than a silverOriginally posted by eagle:Somehow I was like that too last time

cos the 2.4km run is the one that really push ur body if u are not well trained for this run.Originally posted by will4:I have been reading that most of the fatality in IPPT is caused by the 2.4 km run instead of other sation. Any idea?
How many people actually bother to do their own proper training before complaining?Originally posted by casshern:cos the 2.4km run is the one that really push ur body if u are not well trained for this run.
it involves heavy cardio activities and without proper training and heart problems, you might be lying 6 feet under after tat
You are making wrong comparisons.Originally posted by casshern:i'm on consistant trainings, both running and swimming. but unfortunately i just cant breath properly. anyway my unit always want us to go for gold, but nothing less than a silver![]()

we must know that each person have different physical capabilities and limitations. of cos u can say that if u never test ur limit u will never know ur max. well, how many of us wan to test that limit and risk losing our lives? like those who collapsed trying to clock a better timing in their runs. i rather play safe and stop when i know i cant go any further. just my 2 cents worth
Not always true ... me and many of my friends .. still in good shape .. in fact much better shape when we were active .. not 37 still doing much better than those in their early twenties ..Originally posted by googoomuck:Besidesphysical health, one factor the older boys must consider is their weight.
