| Yesterday, 14Nov2020 was
World’s Diabetes Day. I took part in this inaugural 5km virtual run but ended
up running >6km as I ‘agar-agar’ (estimate) the distance. |
There are no more mass running events during this pandemic. Virtual
runs are now the new norm these days.
Pro: you can run at your own pace and time, no need to rush and jostle with other sweaty runners in close proximities. Some runs even allow you to accumulate your distance clocked over a period of time. Such runs are more eco-friendly with no wastes and zero environmental impact. Also, they cost much less to join.
Con: no fixed route and you wouldn’t know the final distance unless you measure it before your actual run. It’s needed to download and use an app to record your runs. This means you have to carry your bulky phone with you with GPS and data-roaming turned-on throughout your runs. You’re mainly running alone so self-motivation is key to endure the whole workout. Lastly, it’s so easy to cheat-you can ask someone to run for you! Nobody would know. Who really cares!!!
