With blogger friends' - FoongPC's & Angie's advise, I tried out interval training.
Actually I think I've read about interval training somewhere before.
And in fact, I've seen some other gym goers doing so too. I've seen many times people who run so fast, the slow down much. I knew that that was something I should learn.
Anyway, so I tried it today. I'm not sure if my technique is right, but well I did just that - increasing my speed and then doing some slower ones in between. And I managed to actually run faster a bit - well to 8.4 and then slower to 6.8.
And I think it is working cos it was tiring! I'm surprised cos the average speed would be around the same to what I usually do (7.4-7.6).
On another note, today is my second day going to the gym slightly earlier. I didn't had the full usual workout but I'm glad I managed to squeeze in time for this.
And I think it's paying off - well, losing 0.1 kg is a bonus heh? :)

Sounds good!!
I won't be able to go to the gym for these couple of days as I injured my knee. Will have to take things a bit slower and that means no treadmills for me. :-(
Hi, quachee! Glad you give interval training a try. It's tiring all right. I can tell you honestly, I cannot last more than 20 minutes with this kind of exercise! But it sure beats working out for 1 hour! So much time saved! But you will see the results if you keep at it! : )
Hi.. came here via PPS. :)
Since I am also on the journey to lose weight these days just thought I'd weigh in (pun intended :P) with my 2 sen.
Interval training is really effective. I used HIIT (high intensity interval training) as part of my workout routine all those years ago and lost 25kg of post-partum weight in pretty much record time.
Good luck!
