For those that are thinking of applying to schools in China, note that the following are very vital to the success of your application:
1. Transcripts. (Don't waste your money to notarize from lawyers, just walk majestically to the federal or state high court and notarize

family doctor to fill for you. Chinese will still do another test for you when you get here).
4. Letter from professor: this is very vital if the school list it as part of the requirements. If you fails to secure any professor that will supervise your research, don't apply

1/ A tale of 3 #5K runs

This season #halfmarathon training started late. Training has been on/off for multiple reasons.

The first #5k this season was 14th August. I have run two more since then. Each has a story to tell, a lesson to teach and learn.

Let's take a look. Image
2/ For the first 5k my goal was to complete the distance. I had been struggling for 4 weeks to break 5 km but kept on dying at 4k mark.

14th Aug was our first group run post Covid and I thought running together is the only way I can be shamed into finishing the distance.
3/ Here are the splits from the run on 14th Aug.

You can see pace is all over the place. Pushed too hard in beginning, essentially dead by the time we hit 4k.

All downhill from there. But I was happy with a sub 7 finish.

Monthly mileage at this point. 30k a month for 2 months Image

1/ Every year #training is a slog.

As I age it takes longer to get to first #5k of the season where I don't die on the road. It takes even longer for pace to come back.

But nothing like the feeling when you get form back and are on track shaving seconds every week. Image
2/ This year I couldn't train in Ramzan. Work, recovery and injuries reduced mileage and pace in Mar and Apr. It took steady training in Jun, Jul and Aug to get my first comfortable 5 with negative splits this morning. Image
3/ The best part.

I am running on roads of my neighborhood. Something I had never done before. Air quality is fantastic at 6 am. So is the weather.

Even better, this week a group of kids have started running on the same path. Nothing like converting others to road running.
