for many frens around me, i was usually viewed as the 'healthy' one... mainly due to my frequent gym work out sessions. In truth, I exercise 3-4 times a week on the average. Also in truth, I'm not as fit as many would think i am.
Recently went for my IPPT on Saturday. I've been training on my running for the past 2 months. Well, i wasnt afraid of my 2.4km run.. i usually do quite well even with very little training. My greatest fear is standing broad jump.
For the first time since i started passing my IPPT, i failed my SBJ. i jumped a miserably 207cm, just 5cm short of passing mark. I tried at least 8-10 times of jumps until I really could not jump any further. It was so disappointing. And of cos, it affected my 2.4km run which follows... my timing of 11.04min could have been faster if my legs were not extremely tired due to the many jumps. But it was good enuff for a B grade.
Lucky thing is, I only need to retake my SBJ the next time. and the next time will be nex Wed during my ICT! Need to start training asap... But my whole body is now in great pain! I've not experienced severe muslce ache for a few years. I've always been working out here and there to prevent such a scenario from happening. However, this time was different. I was experiencing pain almost immediately upon completing my 2.4km run! and the pain was excruciating the next day, my entire leg (calves, trunk, tighs etc). Lasting from Saturday until today, and potentially will extend a couple of days more, this is my most severe pain for sure, especially I was already well toned b4 the IPPT!
Looks like i'm not as fit as I tot I was.. haiz. better start training harder!

Try to work on the co-ordination of legs and swinging of arms action.
If u do well, you could jump an extra 10-15 cm! Gambate!
