When are we supposed to open up new thread ? It's over 2200 posts edi...

Another option to what Choi's suggested is Savlon. During my cycling days I used to use it whenever I get into trouble down there.

Micro fibre underwear is good. I'm using the ones from Renoma.

Added on April 8, 2010, 8:18 amWhat do U get for 20 bucks ? Thts 20 bucks per person is it ?

I think the so far this year the Energizer race pack & goodie bag has been the best, with Adidas vest, the headlight & the Salonpas spray.. easily worth more than what we paid... ok la

Or.. dun wear nothing at all.. but only if U wear tights or shorts with built-in briefs la... if not ah.. "it" bouncing around can be problem also...

Woke up late. Started my run only at 7:20, my latest ever I think. Only did 10K at pretty much tempo pace + maybe 30 secs. Elgato.. if we wanna target 2 hrs for SCKLM, target pace shud be 5:40 ok ?

Aiks... how to explain ar.... but it's there la, on the display. When U review Ur data, U can get Avg & Max pace, from the time splits U can get Avg pace + current pace (the current pace when U press the split button).

I'm considering getting the RS800CX from Chin Leong, very cheap I think. If I do then I'll let go my RS300sd.

IINM, the lower end models, like RS300 series & below, the footpod is S1, the heavier, bulkier version. Starting from RS400 U can use the S3 footpod edi, which is way smaller & lighter than S1. But, having used RS300SD with S1 footpod since Sept last year, I dun really feel that bulk is a disadvantage whatsoever, U can't really feel it la, once U put in on Ur shoes. I've changed the footpod battery twice edi, the HR transmitter once. FT80 is more towards cross training la.

Aiyak.....

Choi, will U bring in the Grid Getgo ? Looks interesting...

Whoa... Choi getting really bz with new products almost daily man.... dunno which one to buy also...

Although Kinvara was loosely based on the Nike Lunar foam concept, I hope it won't bear a similar pricetag... & hopefully it will be more durable...

Haih... now I dunno what to buy or when to buy edi.... my Mizuno Wave Aero is nearing 400km, & I'm looking for a lightweight trainer to replace it. My Adizero Ace on the other hand, I've only had around 150k with it (2 half marathons) & it's already showing very obvious signs of wear on the soles. I understand that it's a racer so it's not that durable, thts why I'm only using it for races. I wanted to get either the Grid Sinister or NB 828 as my trainer.... Choi, is the size 10.5 for the Grid Sinister still available ? U only have 2 sizes left rite ?

The tiger ? U mean the FW4 ah ? It's here edi ah ? How much ?

Added on April 19, 2010, 9:27 amYesterday I went to New Balance 1Utama, NB currently is having a shoe rebate promotion, U bring Ur old shoes to their shops & get up to a RM100 rebate on selected shoes. Unfortunately, the model I was aiming for, the NB MR828 wasn't available for the promo. The older model, MR827 however was available with RM80 rebate which bring the price down to RM209. Surprisingly, despite the bigger toebox compared to my current Mizuno & Adidas, I had to take 1/2 a size bigger, I had to use size US11 for NB shoes it seems. & there was no size US11 available for 828 at 1Utama.

But I still want the 828s, so I'ma have to go to Gardens or Sg Wang... haih... had to carry my old Power shoes around yesterday.... in the end have to bring it back home...

RM290 then okay la. Much cheaper compared to my Adizero... hopefully it will be much more durable too... Ini tak.. beli kasut dekat RM400.. tahan 6 bulan je... tak tahan aku... bukan ade sponsor pun...

I got 2 Oakleys, both I got it from sunnies down in Bulk Orders. Much cheaper compared to shops. Example: Livestrong Jawbone at shops is RM1099, from him U can get for around RM700.

From Ryan Hall's blog :



5 pairs of Asics shoes..... I'd be grateful with one pair I can use for a whole year... The advantage of being a pro runner... but of course, to get to where he is now.... years of hard work... & not to mention talent..

Long one or short one ? I saw the short one going for around RM110-120 in Midvalley. The long ones are quite hard to find, maybe U shud try Mizuno. I got ny Mizuno long tights last year for around RM80+ (after discount), normal price around RM120-150 like that. The short ones are around RM80.

Hmm, for short ones, in terms of durability then I dunno la. But I've been using the Mizunos since July/August last year, so far no sign of tearing off or anything. For short ones I use Reebok, which is not exactly made for running. I've had them for years now, used them for everything, swimming, football, hiking, & now running... I dun think U'd have durability problems with tights, no friction anywhere... except for in the crotch section la...

Added on April 21, 2010, 11:58 amHaih... now I really dunno which one I wanna buy edi... NB 828, Grid Sinister or Newtons..... Choi, will U be at Lake Garden this Sunday ? Straightaway go meet U & try la easy...

Another question to Newton users : Newtons are supposed to correct your running form right ? So, if U've been using Newtons, then will there be any problem when U switch back to normal shoes ?

Added on April 21, 2010, 12:00 pmNo wonder U haven't found anything.. U've been looking at the wrong place... but quite surprised U couldn't find any at Midvalley & One Utama though... I've seen New Balance fuel belt at NB Store at Gardens.. & One Utama as well.. but they're nowhere as comfy as my Blaze belt.. or Nathan's...

I think so. Maybe I can join Ur LSD .. what time U guys start ?
Well, I am a forefoot runner, just looking to perfect my technique... I'll put that into consideration. Thanks.

Agree with Elgato... if it's free, sure good one. Well, on another note, maybe not many runners in this thread uses that shoes, hence the lack of review here. U can check out Running Warehouse Blog.. I think I read a review or preview, there.. Personally, I think the idea is there, just that if there's too much cushioning, U'll risk sacrificing other things, like responsiveness & loss of energy la...

Added on April 22, 2010, 11:53 amBecoz it's a revolutionary concept, not unlike the Lunar foam, & it comes from Saucony... that's why

Ur new into running is it ? Some of us here run 10K everyday, although not me. I run like 3-4 days a week, total around 30-35K per week. For some of us here, 3K is just like a warmup... If U just starting to get into running, run on alternate days are good enuff, especially if U've never run before. Then after a month or so, once Ur comfortable, U can do it everyday la... dun worry

Yes I have. & I'm kinda puzzled why they wanna issue that kinda statement, it's kinda stupid actually. Knowing the situation nowadays, surely some parents out there would think 10 times before allowing their kids to participate in cross country or whatever... & the MOE wants to promote sports for all summore... they shud know better before issuing that kinda statement..

Added on April 25, 2010, 10:35 amWell, if Ur not new, & in MSSD summore, what's with the fear issue ? Any athlete shud know that our body needs time to heal/rebuild after an intense sports session.. be it training or competition. If U run everyday, Ur body will not have time to recuperate.. although for most athletes, 3K is like... like I said la.. warm up only.. no offence.
