I was focusing on Adizero & Supernova products, didn't notice Ur shoes there.

U can checkout Jusco stores & the Mizuno outlet at The Gardens.

I've got 2 Mizunos, Crusader 2 (trainer) & Wave Aero 5 (racer). I've been very happy with both. I'm planning to get Adizero Ace, going for 30% at Studio R. Boston was also at 30% off I think. Normal price both the same, RM399. But Ace is slightly lighter than Boston, at 7.4 oz.

I wanna use the Ace as my race shoe la. I saw it in Studio R 1Utama (New Wing).

Finally I hit the road, 2 days short of two months after my motorbike accident, Op-Day+29. It felt good. I did about 30 mins of very light & slow jog, with occasional accelarations, just to see how I feel. I went out about 6.30, about an hour after sahur. My left biceps & triceps have shrunk considerably since my accident so I felt sore on tht part. I also wore a brace to protect my wrist & the broken arm. I still haven't gained full range of motion on my left wrist, I just got the k-wire out on Thursday. I'll start my physio session on 10/9.

Well, it felt good to be back on the road again.

Thx 4 the advice. Of course I'll be careful not to exceed my limits. I dun wanna get back to tht hospital again. Even when doing physio for my arm I've been very careful not to push too much, I dun wanna cause further damage to my arm & wrist.

As for vitamins, I used to take Pharmaton or Ginsana, back in my cycling days. Now tht I've to buy it myself, I take Proviton instead. I drink HL chocolate daily, now I'm taking Anlene as well, for my healing bone. As I've been lifting weights as well, I use ON 100% Whey.

Right after races or long runs, I drink Gatorade, my fave is Grapefruit. Works for me.

There's one product from Abbot's I believe, tht contains all tht in one product. R U using tht one ccube ? Coz I was thinking of getting those as well to help fix my bone. But I'm scared with Anlene + calcium pills, the bone will grow extra long, maybe I can grow Wolverine's claw !!

Added on September 3, 2009, 12:54 pmFolks, hv U read this article in Men's Health about the Tarahumara runners ? They're ultra marathon runners who run barefoot. There was an article about how expensive running shoes is actually ruining our feet in RunnersWorld.com, it was based on this tribe.

U know what model Ur Mizuno is ? Mizuno, like most other good running shoes, makes specific models for specific feet type.

Police station nearby ? It's the headquarters of Royal Malaysian Police for crying out loud !!! Well, whatever la, just be extra careful guys.

Well, according to Mizuno's website, the Wave Elixir 3/4 is for moderate over-pronators. Have U checked Ur feet type by doing the wet test ? The shoe might not be suitable for U, but then again, AFAIK, neutral runners can still run in moderate shoes. Maybe ccube or phoenix can elaborate more on this.

Yups. Mizuno's a bit different. It's support, control & neutral.

Well, actually, Saucony is a branded shoe, just tht not many ppl know it here, & ccube is the sole distributor.

Why not just get both ? Fastwitch for running, T6 for gym ? Still within Ur budget I guess. I'm sure ccube can give more discounts if U buy 2 pairs.

On another note, Nike Free trainers are pretty good too. I have the Nike Free Dynamic TR tht I use primarily for gym sessions & some speedwork & hillsprints. But I wouldn't run more than 5K with it, the inners are just not made for running.

Well, I think it's more like recovery & replenish Ur energy levels. I dun think creatine will work in an endurance sport, but U can always try & share the results here.

Adidas Boost is the one with spring-look cushioning system right ? That shud give U all the cushioning U're gonna need, full length somemore. Just that, it's a little on the heavy side. Similar to Nike's full length Max Air 360, all the cushioning, with heavy weight penalty. I think one shoe with good cushioning but reasonably light weight is the Lunarglide.

Oopss.. My bad. It's not full length Boost, it's only half-length.

I had this problem too. I solve it by eating banana & 2 slices of bread at least 90 mins prior to my 10K races. Works for me so far. For training runs, where I dun have enuff time gap to eat, I just drink some milk, maybe a slice of cheese. Then off I go.

Yup, I'm in. I registered at PACM office before puasa. Now I'm trying to get back to where I was before my motorbike crash, if not better la....

Anybody here using the online training tool Active Trainer ? I registered yesterday & found out that it's a very useful tool to log Ur training, including types of training, mileage, etc. It also provide tools like Ur shoe mileage, BMI, body fat calculator. It can track Ur progress in terms of body fat, total mileage.... I can go on & on. Best of all... it's free !!! Of course, there's a chargeable version which is more powerful. U can purchase online training programmes which will be included in Ur training calendar & U can track Ur progress la. Check it out.

I believe it's the World of Sports store, next to the Toys r Us. But I think that Toys r Us no more edi....

Whoa... so far down edi this topic.. what happened ? Nobody running ah ?

My comeback race preparation has been hampered by a slight injury in the area just above the ankles. I dunno what it's called, my closest guess is tibialis posterior. It's not bruising or whatever, just painful. Part of it I guess it's due to the fact that I got heavier by 2 kg after Raya. But I'm running on treadmill now, I dun seem to feel the pain when running on treadmill. Last Saturday I had to walk home after it got so painful I can't continue my run. So I took Sunday off, & I've been treating the area with ice ever since. Hmm...
