Regulus: Variety is the key here. Managing to chat while jogging or running isn't a bad thing. Train base on different heart rate levels and you will see the benefit as time passes. Different zones produces different results. Therefore, it doesn't mean that you aren't working hard enough if you are sitll able to chat. Remember to train smart, not hard.

guys,

not sure how to ask bout this, click this link http://www.sportspodiatry.co.uk/images/feet%20copy.jpg

is it possible for my foot to change from supinated to normal type form?

last time i checked which is last 2 years i think,it was supinated but now my foot form a normal type.is it possible?

running with proper form changed my foot type?

thx

how old are u afiqfaisal

Yeah2... if Ur still young... & growing... maybe there's a possibility... Foot types .. I dun think Ur born with it.. more like.. posture thingy..

Well, maybe for some, they were born with certain foot types la...

i'm 24 this year.i've been changing the way i run for the last 4 months.

If you are changing the way you run, try to achieve mid/forefoot running gait, This is the most efficient running gait which results in less pounding and injury to the heel and more energy for the run. With this the Newton shoes will be ideal in this case.

That's how im trying to achieve at the moment. I'm actually looking at Newton shoes to replace my current shoes but not really sure which 1 is suited for me. M also tempted to try barefoot running just for a short distance maybe between 3-5k for a start.

if u r doing transition fr heel strike to forefoot running then the Sir Isaac will be ideal. Once you have convert yourself to be a forefoot runner, then go for the Newton Classic.

PM me if interested in Newton as I am selling it. The Sir Isaac is having a promo till end of Feb selling at RM380. Its getting a very good response from the runners and its a good deal for a highly technical shoe.

How does it fare for long distance run,15km and above?
i'm so accustomed to asics up till now

Sir Isaac are trainers that can take u for a 42k ride. No worries abt the cushion & stability support

I went for a run yesterday, just to see how my injury's recovering & it got worse !! I'm putting ice on it like 3-4 times a day, hopefully I can recover by Saturday. Saturday morning is going to be my last chance la... if still hurts, then I guess I'ma have to pass on this one. Maybe I shud just skip this one & give myself more time to recover, rather than risk further injury to myself. Haih..... been looking forward to this Saturday... haih.....

never put yourself into a higher risk of worsening your injury. sometimes we runners got to know when to rest and when to run. the problem is a lot of runners dont hence their injury become worst and therefore shorten their running lifespan.

True that ... this is what I wanna avoid. Just that, it's frustrating not to know what went wrong... haih....

Wah bro tenno, better rest 1st. Hope you get well soon.

u mean u not sure wats ur injury and caused of it?

I know which part's injured alright... I just dunno what caused it.. I mean.. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary for the past 4 weeks... It's not muscle cramp.. definitely not.

I started when I was doing intervals last week. I did 5 x 800m & during the last rep I began to feel a slight pull on my left calf, the outer part. Luckily it was during my last rep, & during the warm down I just jog slowly so I didn't really felt it. I didn't put my calf sleeve on during the workout.

Then on Sunday, I wanted to do one last long run before the race this week, but I haven't even completed my 1st km when I felt the injury coming back & this time it got worse, I mean, more painful. So I walked back to my starting point & just went home. So, for 2 days I kept putting ice on it, RICE. Then yesterday I just wanted to see how it felt. It was still there.

Between the interval (Tuesday) & Sunday last week, I did a full body workout at the gym, with light weights & no lower body specific workout. I'm guessing that the gym session & the fact that I didn't use my calf sleeve proly contributed to the injury.

I know I shud be tapering with 2 weeks to go... but then I didn't run much for the 2 weeks prior to the injury, was busy with moving house. Haih.... I dun wanna rush, dun want the injury to get worse... but very frustrating if I can't run this Saturday....
