If you have a Nike+ sportsband, you dont need an iPod. iPod is only needed if you're buying the cheaper Nike+ sportskit.

What about the timex ironman series?
Seem to be among the cheapest running watches out there, just did a google.

But I guess I should get shoes first. My knees hurt a little already...I run almost everyday nowadays.
Saw the Adidas Cumulus for about rm180. But still gotta save up for it.
Oh I'm 27 but am still studying lol, in case u guys are wondering y this 27 yr old cannot afford a pair of shoes haha.
Doing my postgrad in UPM.

yes...i bet timex got cheap model. just get one coz u need to know ur lap time and improve from there. if you can afford polar, garmin or suunto. go ahead. shoes...go call up ccube and get ur self cheap and good saucony. have more money buy asics or newton. enjoy ur run bro...bet at upm got many chicks running rite?

thanks for the good wishes. Hmmm, the stadium didn't have many chicks but the lake where I run adalah sometimes.
They're an inspiration.
That reminds me, gotta embolden myself to go ask for numbers...

i can start u off with a value for $$$$ Saucony. Just PM me. anyway which lake are you refering too?

tenno has a timex, you could check with him for a review,
but i tink over time, this thread(and the previous version) has seen some comments nt to the advantage of timex watches

the basic ones from suunto, polar, garmin aren't too pricy and can relay loads of info..
if you talking abt ones without heart rate, calories burned etc. you may want to consider g -shock, less than RM200 and its realli durable
i had one and i didn't hv to change even the batt in 5 yrs, its of coz KO -ed now

damn it, i went to 1 Utama and Subang Parade to register for the Mizuno Run at the WOS...mana tau they said takde...

better go now.....
Closing date is 12 October 2009 (or 4000 entries whicever comes first).

Erm, do you know flat ikan? It's the lake close by. I think it's the only lake in Sri Serdang. K pm-ing u after this.

d3vilzzzz: Yeah was thinking of the G-shock also cuz i it might suffice for now. But its either shoes or a watch. Lol, anyone wants to buy batteries? To contribute to my shoe tabung. hahahaha.

Ok, noted.

go for shoes....watch later...u can ask those chicks for time and also their no.
hehehehe

Timex is my favorite watch. Currently I have 4 of them (I've used a total of 6 Timex watches). But the question U shud ask Urself is what feature U want from a sportswatch. Only the Timex HRM models is equipped with the footpod U need to measure distance. & I haven't seen any store in Malaysia that sells the Timex with the footpod.

Before I purchased my Polar RS300x SD (last Friday, from Phoenix), I was using Timex Fitness HRM. Coming from a renowned sportswatch manufacturer, the watch feature is all there (1/100th stopwatch, 23 lap memory, etc), but the HRM feature is a bit lacking. & even though U can replace the heart rate transmitter battery Urself, it began to give out erratic heart rate reading after U changed it (well, at least in my case).

If U need just a watch to store lap time, any digital chronograph will do la. Maybe with Timex U can store more lap times. But if U need a watch that can measure distance as well, then U're gonna need something else. One of the model U can search for is the Ironman Triathlon Bodylink. But basically, U need a footpod or a pedometer to measure distance.

hmm i guess a nomal watch with lap times would be sufficient. Or i'll use my handphone for now lol. Thought of getting something to measure distance so that I can just hantam run anywhere instead of round and round a track. K shoes first, girls hp numbers and then some...

Added on October 12, 2009, 7:15 pmJust came back and I really timed myself this time.
27min 15sec for the 5K. Ran like a madman at the last 400m, is it advisable to do so?
Darn...the uni track is way easier to run and my knees don't hurt as much. I'm imagining the comfort of well cushioned shoes...ah well...

Hmmm, been searching online but can't seem to find what is a good time for the 5K. Anyone?

Added on October 12, 2009, 7:42 pmhuh...?
mud hill 5km at 18mins?...
Malaysian record at the track is 16mon 18secs.
Road should be a little bit more.
Hilly muddy area at 18min means u must be at least a state runner I think.
