Kartono Wihardja’s Post

During yesterday visit to our #ITSECAsia Singapore office by our close partner in security #SOCRadar , I was inspired by the statement in T-shirt worn by my "brother from the different parent", fellow martial artist, and the SOCRadar expert ( Aymete Dilek , thank you Bro :) ) which struck the chord : *"1% Better Every Day"* . This reminds me to get out of too comfortable zone in my running. I have already hit 4+ min pace last week for 5km, but that was with treadmill which was the perfect ideal condition and does not represent a real road race. Thus after reading his tee statement, I resolved to try to improve at least by 1% :) Finally this morning, after careful preparation (using my thinnest vibram five finger, woke up at 4+, find the quietest route without people or bicycle), I hit my old pace of 4:52min/km and recover back my old VO2 Max at 52 plus and recovery heart rate at 52 BPM. I then followed up with 5km recovery run at comfortable zone 2 at 5:50min/km pace and 60 pull-ups and 4 rounds of monkey bars. With this, I dare to declare my early new year resolution which I wrote in earlier LinkedIn post has been reached. The old Kartono, the corporate team running athlete is back :) Same aggressiveness, same competitiveness, better fitness (due to age). Never be satisfied with the plateau. go over it (Bruce Lee) #Beat_Yesterday #Work_Life_Balance #One_Percent_Better_Every_Day
