Yeah, Nikes are a lot lighter, but more expensive as well. I bought the Mizunos for RM26.95 after 50% off. I run with Mizuno shoes, so I guess I just wanna keep the theme going. But I run with Nike shorts and cap though.. heheh

Yup, me too. Have been trying to form a team from my company but due to it being held on a long weekend (Aug 31 Mon is a PH) most cannot commit as they'll be away from KL. So if there's still space here for me, I'll be glad to join. tongue.gif

Hey guys,

I just came back from Octagon's office to pick up my medal. Chatted with a staff regarding the marathon. Dug some insider's information wink.gif

All I can reveal are these - they're grossly understaffed (they hv less than 10 staff in Msia), they outsourced most of the event (to DBKL, FTAAA/MAU, vendors etc), put too much trust on said parties to deliver their promises (we all know how it's like in Msia tongue.gif) and most prolly wont change the marathon route in the future.

All Women runners out there,

Rock ur next race with a running skirt. Set the trend and add function and style in your next race. Dress in ur best and also get to look more feminine. Try out the RunningSkirts which are creating waves in USA, Europe and Australia.

Uh Syd has helped me to register Siemens for me edi

Anyway, I saw the form 10KM leh? but anyway, whack only biggrin.gif 1KM more. Thanks bro!


On a side note

DAMN!!!! I got an email from Mindshare group.(And got a phone call to be told about the email =.= sweat.gif ) What the hell, I have to send to them my DRAFT review, wait for approval BEFORE being allowed to publish it.

Where is the freedom of speech? Now i know the difference between being invited directly by Nike =.= Much more interesting even on collection day itself.

Y the double standard. Shoe reviews are meant to be very OPEN and no hidden agenda. If its good or bad, the runners gotta voice it out, otherwise it will send a wrong message to consumers doh.gif

IMHO, it's the gist of the content that matters the most......not Engrund level.....I can live with ahbeng engrund....such as "whooaa......that cushion hor damn shiok lerhhh....when I run, I feel like some small ant carrying my forefoot and heel....sure can run like no marh chai".......... icon_idea.gif

Eh Update....sorry I was out from home after work.

Sorry because I receive another email from the Mindshare person.

I no longer need to send a DRAFT copy to them. I can just blog immediately their client(Nike) said its pointless...just blog!

So ok la..back to normal biggrin.gif

See, it's all that PR company's fault and Nike gets the blame when people thinks that when Nike gives free shoes, they expect a good review.

And tengster, use normal English lar. Your England too powderful until I cannot understand.

it's the same case of SCKLM when one of the PR company staff came to Facebook to say good thing (if any) about the event management and defended like a crying baby.......

thus, manufacturer should tell the PR company off in shrewd manner.....all runners should have freehand to write good, bad, boh soong, excellent feel about the shoe.......but it must be done in fair manner. Credit due must be given. Dont skali one throw in some vest and socks, the review change 360 degree.

I'm a slow runner (read walker). So, I don't mind bringing stuff with me. More of I have to - in case of emergency. Handphone is on my arm, car key is in my shorts pocket. In the SCKLM, I took so long to finish, my keychain became rusty! LOL

Runnerz, do you think it's advisable for me to go for my first full marathon debut at SCSM when the max I can go at my comfortable pace now is only <15km?

It's less than 5 months away but almost another 30 km to gain is the main question that's playing in my head. What do u guys think? Just do it?

You'll be able to run it. Will you be able to recover from it? (especially when you hv such small window from end of puasa month to the marathon day itself)

I ran my first half mara 3 weeks before running my full marathon. I was able to finish it but I'm hving such a hard time recovering from it. The finisher tshirt sucks also. Haih sad.gif

Running half for SG. Aim for sub-2:45 smile.gif

shahwan86, Syd G is right. PBIM and SCSM is just 2 weeks apart, so you might not have enough time to recover. My plan is run BIM (Borneo Int) half, which already reg. Now is the SCSM, still thinking to do half or full.

My friend doing full for both. so, have running partner.

Shah,
4 months shud be sufficient to build up ur endurance. But the only problem for you is the puasa month break, that will disrupt ur training. If u can hack it, then just aim for completion of the run with no timing in mind. Taking into consideration ur endurance level is low ie <15k.

Aug - Sept: Base training ie make sure u can clock weekly mileage of 30k-40k. And Sat/Sun will be a longer run of 15k to 20k

Oct - Nov: Your weekly mileage shud be hitting 40k to 50k. Sat/Sun LSD shud be alternating between 25k, 28k and 30k+

This is a very tight program bcos you dont have a base foundation and the puasa month will disrupt ur training. if u think u can hack it, i will draw out a more detail prg for you to follow.

vin_ann: Eh, same time as me. I lazy to go renew for my Macau Marathon trip. Wanna go together ar at Terminal 3?

hanjo55: Just stay at those backpackers inn. Less than SGD50 will get you through a night. Plenty at Bugis area which is a walking distance to the start/finish point. You just need a place to stay and to clean yourself up. If you go commando style, I'm afraid you will regret it eepcially after the race when you be sticky and stinky.

Shah,
4 months shud be sufficient to build up ur endurance.  But the only problem for you is the puasa month break, that will disrupt ur training. If u can hack it, then just aim for completion of the run with no timing in mind.  Taking into consideration ur endurance level is low ie <15k.

Aug - Sept: Base training ie make sure u can clock weekly mileage of 30k-40k.  And Sat/Sun will be a longer run of 15k to 20k

Oct - Nov: Your weekly mileage shud be hitting 40k to 50k.  Sat/Sun LSD shud be alternating between 25k, 28k and 30k+

This is a very tight program bcos you dont have a base foundation and the puasa month will disrupt ur training.  if u think u can hack it, i will draw out a more detail prg for you to follow.
*
Ccube, I think I can hack it. I want to give it a go. I think I can do it.
I'm aware of the one month puasa...it's going to hinder my training regime a little bit but I've made a proper training schedule for Ramadhan. I would to know ur suggested detailed prg though. Thanks smile.gif

yeah, i got the vest as well. i think it's for the early birds la... like 1st 1,000 registration or something like tht. it's pretty much like the SCKLM vest, only tht this time it's sleeveless, not really a running singlet. more like a basketball jersey.. rclxms.gif

Aiya where were you? But at least it's good that you ran anyway and collected the goodie bags etc. Was at BA carpark but I guess you went too early to the clock tower.

The run was prolly one of the best FTAAA run. A lil jam at the water stations but there were plenty of them (and 100 plus too!). Finishing line was organized and goodie bag collection was fast fast fast. The usual loooong queue at the Milo tent turned us off so we went to collect free Nature Valley bars (got 2! one in the bag and one @ the stall biggrin.gif), RM20 Rbk voucher and the Husband got to try a pair of Crocs. Went to see a boy being dunked after that.

Hamstring still recovering (grumble grumble) so I decided to go easy and take it as training for adidas KOTR. Ran with bubbles - her first 10k. She finished within 1:30 rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

I was disappointed with my Siemens Run yesterday sad.gif
I was in the Mens A category.
I was targeting a time of 46 mins for my third running event.
Ended up doing 49 mins.

Multiple frustrations :
1. I felt very heavy (woke up at 450am in the morning and tried to clear my bowels for almost 30 mins but nothing sad.gif
2. My right feet gave in 2km from the end so I had to run that stretch awkward (my right feet landed oni on the outside)
3. I didn't reach my target! sad.gif
4. Was 10 seconds off from getting a medal (102 place)

Lessons learned :
1. Eat a lot of fruits the day before so that it's easier to clear my system the morning of raceday.
2. Go early so that can start at the front (I started at the middle again yesterday although I lapor diri at 705am - you guys so early laa haha)

Comments on race :
1. A lot of water stations. Very very good smile.gif
2. Love the cheering 1 km stretch from the end. Gave me an added boost. flex.gif
3. Can we stop making a mess at Dataran Merdeka? It's not hard to find a trash bin mad.gif Stop Littering!!!

Congrats to those who ran Siemens Run yday. It was indeed a very well organised race especially for the Pom Pom gals who gave me extra booster for the final push.

SHAPE Run, we all from LYN gotta gather together and take a picture, what do u think. Maybe we can park at the carpark next to the Palace Of Justice, and meet at a specific time. Be early so that there is more time for us to lepak and sembang. Deal??

Anyone still giving away or selling SHAPE Run bib (mens), plz let me know.

Hi Everyone! I had a great time at Siemens too. I'm pretty much a newbie runner, but I do try my best wink.gif. Just started running early this year. I did the Dream Run and I'm quite happy that I ran (or shuffled more like it) the whole way, imagine.. i couldnt even last a continous 5 mins on the treadmill 6 months ago. Looking forward to Shape 5K, and fingers crossed, I'm hoping to do my virgin 10K in SG Marathon.

Hey.. don't you guys just lurve the milo vans. I wish I could have a whole tray of those cold milo cups to myself..

Ohhh congrats to bubbles on her 1st 10K. Can't wait for my turn.

SHAPE Run, we all from LYN gotta gather together and take a picture, what do u think.  Maybe we can park at the carpark next to the Palace Of Justice, and meet at a specific time.  Be early so that there is more time for us to lepak and sembang.  Deal??

I think I am a crazy one. Didn't practice ever since SCKLM 22km, then suddenly jump straight to 10km..

I think it's a matter of time until my legs give in

Well done to those who ran the Siemen's Run. I sold off my bib at the last minute to take part in the 160KM KRI Century Ride at Ipoh, my road cycling debut in preparation for dualthon and hopefully triathlon. Spent almost 8 hours on the road and am barbequed now.

There is a big carpark area next to POJ and another one opposite (next to Kompleks Perbadanan Putrajaya) But since there are many runners in SHAPE run better be there early to get a slot. And especially for those not familiar with Putrajaya area. Dont end up rounding the all the Precints

That's great! Yes of course.. let's meetup. If you want to add challenge, you can always do the 5K route twice..heheh. I've registered for penang fun run, 10K for boys and girls only... imagine..

I'd really like to chitchat with y'all before the Shape run, perhaps all LYN runners should wear orange headbands or something? easy to recognise.. ha ha ha..

hey guys, hearing from all of you here, the Siemens run must've been an excellent experience.

I was at the DiGi run in Kuantan that same morning as well, the race was also very well organised with all the right stuff in the right place.

Just wondering if anyone knows of any photographers who were there that day. Most of the usual photographers should be at Siemens, just trying my luck to see if there were any present in Kuantan as well.

Cheers!

The T6 is for neutral or supinator runner
The Green is real striking, create more vibrant to the running scene. U get used to it brader.
It got an Arch Lock so will locked up ur high arch comfortably
Its a cushion shoe and weigh between 11oz-12oz (depend on size.....as reported US9 weigh 11oz)
Width is Normal. U can try 1/2 size up if its too tight.

Note: I have been using the Triumph series since T3. I hv a T4, T5 and shud be using T6 for the second 1/2 of the year till next year as a training shoe. This model have been my faithful training buddy. Fastwitch 3 will still be my race day shoe for its light weight and effectiveness

I am not a serious runner but I do not think sports watches are heavy. On a grown up's hand, it is sometime negligible. You don't even notice it is there. More so if your muscles are used to it being there during runs.


psst: try running with a 1.5ltr bottle. THAT is heavy laugh.gif

Its sales time, so why dont you go to watch shops and get a simple digital watch with stopwatch functions. Timex has both cheap and expensive ones (I think they are also the official timekeepers for numerous marathons and triathlons). PK Time in MidValley and 1utama sells them. And the straps are usually rubbery-plastic things so your sweat wont stick (they're usually water resistant anyway, at least 30M I think). And they're not heavy.

So anyone collected their race pack for Shape Run? How's the Reebok vest? Quality good?

Also is the size same with the SCKLM and Siemens Run (both also Reebok vest), if same means easy no need to open the pack and try.

I just collected my race pack yesterday, Q is OK but very hot weather.... they should put a canopy along the line.

I registered manually and I have receipt, goodies bag collection slip, 1901 Hot Dog redemption slip, and Reebok vest collection slip. No reporting slip.

This bulk is for only the wristwatch. I have contacts in USA that they bought the whole package and don't need the wristwatch. So they are selling it cheaper without the HRM and also Footpod.

That's great, the more we have the more we can save, eh? I am trying to get it before the next marathon is up, I've already missed Adidas' as well as Shape's so I'm eager to get on the next one.

Well, some people are beginning to question why we are using shoes with thick layers why our feet is perfectly built to handle stress and impact. So many have started to run barefooted (macam our ancestors ler haha), this shoe tries to mimic that feeling, so we are running as natural as possible but with protection against gravel, dirts and such.

Some have claimed it have strengthened their feet and toes, more welcoming on the knees, gets you more stability and balance and many have claimed their running time have improved as a result and being named Time's Best Invention in 2007.

I'm eager to try it out as otherwise I'd be spending the same amount of money on another generic pair of shoes. With this, i can use it for hiking, normal walking and whatnots as it is just so durable.

I think with a couple times of using it, we can get used to it. After all, I still prefer to play football barefooted and as humans, we are naturally built to run/walk/jump or whatever barefooted.

well organised though.....congrats men's health and shape!

Hi guise,
FINALLY got to try em Newtons from ccube. I love love love love it!!. I've never been able to do the heel strike (I prefer barefoot when I was younger) so it was an amazing product for me. But alas, my wide Asian feet are too wide for the shoes. Newton recommends women with duck feet to buy men's model 1.5 size smaller.

RIP toenails.

@yennshin
I felt like giving up @ km6. But I knew I was dehydrated because I didnt start sweating till km7 or so (after drinking 3 cups of water). Putrajaya was warm but at least the drivers were nicer smile.gif

The weather was so warm last night. I stop at every water station including the one at the very beginning. I grabbed a bottle of mineral water from there but I couldn't finish it... Really appreciate they had another water station at the last 2km, I was so thirsty at that time. I really like their goodies back compared to SCKLM!

Fortunately, I managed to finish the journey with 71+ minutes. That was my 2nd run and I see improvement from it... happy~ biggrin.gif

Have anyone heard of the Vibram Five Fingers? It have been getting raves for mimicking barefooted running and it have been said to improve your running experience.

I'm looking to organise a bulk purchase for it as I'm interested in owning a pair just to experience it, anyone else would be in for this?

I've looked at the site. I wonder if you can use it for marathon. Big Walk is fine. I would like to try. But I wonder if the sizing is same like shoes

Dear all,

Red alert here. rclxub.gif I did a stupid mistake on KOTR registration. I register online on MBSA website but i forgotten to pay on time. KOTR said it is not a valid registration. My brother was counting on me on this registration as well. Anyone have 2 bib on 22KM run to offer? I pay back on the full fund. Collection can be done anywhere in klang valley.

Thank in advance.

Hi triple02,

I will try this approach on tomorrow during race pack collection time. Just now i called up Adidas HQ, according to them the registration had been closed. But on other hand i will plan for the worst. If anyone have ragistered and paid please let me know. I will buy from you all.

Just breathe as you would normally?

But then hv heard some comment in regards to using the mouth to breath as it drys the mouth? hence drink lotsa water tongue.gif or via ur nose..
haven heard much talk abt breathing via the chest or tummy?

but when u run enough and at a pace that doesn't realli kill u, there wun b a real diff when u breathe as usual or at that moment when u run.. the huffing n puffing is not that prevalent so to speak laugh.gif

Hi triple02,

I will try this approach on tomorrow during race pack collection time. Just now i called up Adidas HQ, according to them the registration had been closed. But on other hand i will plan for the worst. If anyone have ragistered and paid please let me know. I will buy from you all.

Finally rclxms.gif Just back from Shah Alam stadium collected my vest and bib. For those register online through MBSA website, you just need to pay at the postal counter there. The bib is ready since the information is sync between KOTR and MBSA online registration. I'm paid first then with the receipt i manage to collect my bib which had been pre-allocated. But only cash transaction.

For those last minutes runner, you still can register at the stadium there. But the vest collection and bib will be on friday.

Yeah, orange colour for this year.

So how's the size? I just agak the size since they just hang up the shirt sample, all satisfy with the size you choose? By the way, they doesn’t allow to change the shirt size.

The KOTR vest is tight fitting. i took size L and ngam ngam for me. luckily didnt take size M. this is the original Adi ClimaCool vest, not those make locally. For once Adi is giving out ori vest like Sg mara.

hi..want to ask.. do they acknowledge the date of online registration for the entry fees..? as i register it during the normal period..but when i went to Adidas The Garden last 2 weeks to make payment, they said i have to register again and pay for late entry fees.. so how is it going for you..? and what do u mean by paying at postal counter..?

thanks..

Hey guys

Quick question. How do you guys feel abt online run registration. Register online, pay online, pay around rm10 extra for courier service for vest, bib, reporting card.

Just show up on running day and have a good time.

For me, collecting the bib personally is part of the fun for the run biggrin.gif that is, if the time and location isnt too demanding.
Registering online and paying online is convenient, but i'd try to do away with the extra $ for courier services if i can help it.

How about outstation races? The GE Women 10k @SG organizer actually asked me to pickup my stuff 2 weeks earlier. No courier service. How lah sad.gif

Personally, I agree with dmm. Picking the stuff is part of the enjoyment to me (and my photo collection). But for outstation cases, which I never experience, maybe it would be good to have the courier service. Anyways I'm all for online registration and payment.

Wow, so fast you 'officially open' the shirt! ha... I agreed this year's design is tight fitting, I din took part in last year's AKOTR but from the archive pics I saw, it should be loose fitting.

I wanted to go for L but end up with M coz when I compare the size (without put on), it's almost the same. M for me is just ngam ngam. Nice quality!

I was there on Saturday biggrin.gif Was in line for an hour waiting for the booths to open, but was among the first 10 people to collect .
The line behind me was madness though. I hate crowds, so me and my mates were there early haha, albeit the wait was inevitable.
Heard Friday was a disaster wasnt it? With the rain and all

Singapore races no choice, I had to get my friend to help collect on my behalf.

I've registered for the Penang marathon and i think i used the courier option. that's cause the run itself is RM40 (half mara) and i got charged RM10 extra which i assume is for the delivery because i can't remember whether it opted for that option now. doh.gif

To the rest who still wants to register for Women 10k - use promo code GEPH (GE Policy Holder brows.gif) and get 10% discount. It's perfectly legal since the policy holders were asked to 'distribute the code to family n frens'.

for me, it's did not necessary to opt for the courier.

since the collection is until Sat, the day before race, go to QB mall collect and familiar with the environment.

Why organiser of running events can't do things properly??

Adidas KOTR..they said no more XL size vest.

I was given L vest...which squeeze tightly around my body.

Maybe it is a sign of more problems to come during race day...as usual..

If you do run... then get a proper running shoe, the flat hard shoes i guess ur referring to are badminton or court type of shoes, use the shoe for its intended purpose

if u want to do both then get a cross trainer, no point of u complaining your legs and feet ache when you couldnt care less to protect it properly in the first place!

2 ways to go abt it..
i guess erm u haven been running long? u need to run longer coz at the moment ur core muscles/ abs or nt strong enough..
once u run longer, ur core muscles will get stronger..
on top of that, try ab exercises like crunches? leg raises? hip twists?

i dun do da ab exercises though (blush.gif nt practicing wat i preach)
but i do run on a regular basis tongue.gif

Guys,

Currently when running, I'm feeling pain on the inner side of my left foot. Below the ankle. Kinda like sprain feeling but the pain is felt when I'm lifting the foot off the ground.

user posted image

If based on this graph, it is at the area of Deltoid ligament and Tibialis Posterior Tendon but more to the latter. What is causing the pain? What can I do to relieve it? What shall I do to prevent it from happening again?

hey hanjo,

none of us here are doctors sad.gif it may be best to seek professional advice frm a certified profesional..
but judging from ur pain and where it is.. a guess would be ur shoes dun hv enuff ankle support?

when did it start happening? were u doing anything out of the ordinary?
were u trying a diff running style? happens maybe say when oni running uphill or dwnhill?

Dear runners:

I'm in the market for a pedometer (it's going to be a present for a friend), but I know next to nothing about where to get 'em here or what brand/model to go for, since I'm too fat and too lazy to run in a tropical climate. Does anyone have any recommendations?

(Also, I need to buy this within the next week at the latest, so speedy replies are much appreciated.)

Side stitch is caused by a things the first as pointed out by Devilzzz, your abs/core muscles are weak secondly your breathing technique is wrong

Try incorporating more core workouts if you really plan to run, google up and check in youtube for core excercises, planks, sideplanks , bird dogs just to name a few core workouts that you can try

as for your breathing technique try to run at a comfortable pace 1st and figure out you breathing technique then notch it up higher slowly

I do not remember a specific occurrence when it happened. It is kind of built up bit by bit. Then only I'm feeling the pain. I'm feeling it since SCKLM. I can feel after a certain time. If running, I feel it like after 3km. Even walking for a long time can give me the pain too.

for god sake, just get a decent pair of running shoes for running. dont have to pay so much if your mileage is extremely low. just go and look out for those sales. else i can tell u, u regret for the rest of your life when ur knee give way at older age. trust me cos i have seen lotsa of similar incidents like you cry.gif

tested out the Adi KOTR vest for the 2nd time this morning on a 10k run. Chafing, chafing, chafing. The armpit opening is too tight and small, hence causes chafing. Not a good vest to use for long distance running (at least for me). the cutting is tight even though i go for Size L.

There are running specific brands like Fuel Belt and Ultimate Directions. Google their brand and you find them. I'm able to help you get them should you be interested. Pricey yes, but it does its job really well. There's another brand call Nathan which ccube is carrying but you gotta to be creative enough to add additional pouch or something as it's design only to carry gels and your race-id.

The Nike waist bag that was mentioned, unless it's the music pouch designed for ipod which costs about RM89.90, the others are just too big and bulky for running.

It is not the music pouch, and definitely it is big. Have some reservations about buying it at first. But after going through traumatic experience during the SCKLM, realized that i need to have one as well. Oh, the price is RM55 btw.

went to see Adidas KOTR today (didn't run, leg injured), saw some bad stuffs..

nearing the finish line, going into the tunnel, there are SOOOOOOO many ppl walking opposite the running line, causing some runners blocked by them! there's 2 road there, and somehow all ppl that have finished the run walked on the running line shocking.gif

and another one is my fren complained there's no water at finish after about 8.45am.. doh.gif

for god sake, just get a decent pair of running shoes for running.  dont have to pay so much if your mileage is extremely low.  just go and look out for those sales.  else i can tell u, u regret for the rest of your life when ur knee give way at older age.  trust me cos i have seen lotsa of similar incidents like you cry.gif

Read somewhere in the blog that some motorists verbally abused the runners for causing road block in Shah Alam. Can they blame runners?

There was a carnival thingy going on beside the stadium also what. Shah Alam drivers arent used to hving traffic jam... ahh.. boohoo.

Had a torturing run. But towards the end after entering stadium entrance, my husband saw me from afar and grabbed my hand. We ran towards the finish line together. He finished a few mins earlier and was already wearing his selipar. He's such a doll I tell you wink.gif

Hi all,

Did y'all hv a good run? tongue.gif

I had quite a good one despite seeing 2'00 on me watch pass by.. finished in 2'09
It has been sum time since I last saw the 2hr mark appraching blush.gif a humbling experience I feel..considering also me first 20km was completed in 2hrs
I haven been doing me LSDs for I think 2 weeks due to me injury smile.gif
To top things off, did a hard brick training yest (80km bike + 8km run) causing me thighs to burn as I ran today tongue.gif
I think needless to say me semi dislocated arm was paining throughout the run sad.gif

Tried to pace marvinct initially but wasn't able to follow him, he dropped me hmm.gif after 10km mebbe?
i ran the race cadence style + walking sad.gif
a few of me pcaemaker peeps passed me and I was encouraged to follow them, thank GOD for them else I would have never finished under qualifying time..

this was I tink me most talkative race of the year as I had lotsa uncles and all whom encouraged me to pace with them smile.gif

I though the traffic control was terrible though..

Less than 10 mins after qualifying time. No medal is expected but no water, no 100 plus or milo is disheartening. I guess I'm used to this 'anak angkat' feeling after SCKLM. Meh.

just need to rest and ice it up to prevent inflammation.
if pain still persist after few days then only see doctor lo

KOTR is my most exchaustive run to date. Felt like fainting after cross finish line. Vision turn black n white with bright dots...

Is too much pressure on forefeet the main reason?
i don't understand why i got it. I didnt change my running pattern, shoe or running surface.
definitely didnt increase my milleage as well as i have reduced my milleage by a third since scklm.

Well, not sure if its the same. For me, I tested with the treadmill pressure thingy at Schein Orthopaedic at The Curve(Opps Johnson Fitness )

My forefeet landing properly but I didnt utilize my heel(for landing and push off). so most of the pressure was on my forefeet. They will show you the result in what they called the "Butterfly" effect. Imagine a horizontal 8 which shows your feet pattern for landing and push up.

After resting for abotu 2 weeks and corrected my landing/push up, okay liao.

before I had sharp pains at times on my right leg, below the knee... It got better after 2 weeks of resting.


May be you can give it a go when you are free? they are pretty friendly, didnt push for their product as well.

Keep us updated k

Octagon was really really lucky not to hv this kind of cases happening during the SCKLM. Adidas KOTR .. only third water station ran out of water but when I arrived @ all the stations, no 100 plus - not sure ran out or not supplied. Finish line even worse.

Hills + haze + heat = KOTR

Hey all, KOTR was pretty humid and hazy shakehead.gif pretty satisfied with my run, didnt know it was going to be a such a hilly run in the first place! last 700 metres was bad with all the 11km runners clogging up the entire road! had to wade through them and the water fiasco, the 100 plus dudes were shouting for the people to get in line..funny

good to meet ccube and the others during the run! biggrin.gif


Kinda shocked to hear about the news on Gary, I hope they'll find the cause of this death soon..

RIP Gary

Okay, I think it was my mistake also. Didn't train at all after the Siemens Run and then I go straight for the KOTR 22km. Maybe that's why.

pre scklm my lsd is 30k ma, so plus weekday 30k =60k lo. still under distance la, but my goal is to simply complete the distance without much difficulty only. not going for timing.

now back to 40k per week should be comfortable for a half marathon rite?

But now injured, have to recover first.

Marvin,

Take ur time to rest and make a strong comeback for training. i shhud resume my training by next week or week after next. will clock in the miles again in preparation for my TNF 100k DUO, then PBIM and the FINALE will be the Putrajaya 12hr walk. I m not sure if there are any races in between but will always be good to do some races in between our training.

Note: I m planning Gold Coast Mara in 2010. This will be early part of July. If u r keen, do let me know.

I want to ask this from you guys (those that are not the winner type). Have you been to those races or take part in categories that are without timing chip? Normally the small scale race and also the short distance (10km). If you do, I'm sure you know how the finishing line is right? Full of people.

My question is, when do you stop your time? It is a long queue till the finishing line. Do you wait till you really cross the line? which will definitely take longer time. Or do you stop the time as you reach at the back of the queue? which is technically not the finishing line yet. In my opinion, both do not give you the real time. Then, how?

Had a torturing run. But towards the end after entering stadium entrance, my husband saw me from afar and grabbed my hand. We ran towards the finish line together. He finished a few mins earlier and was already wearing his selipar. He's such a doll I tell you wink.gif

Hi all,

Had my surgery on the 31/7 to insert metal plates for my left radius. A K-wire was also inserted into my left wrist, I guess to immobilize the wrist while allowing the bone to fuse. After the the surgery I woke up earlier than I shud have (I was on GA so I was unconscious) so I was in great pain after tht. They gave me a 50-day MC, so I'm now at home. I guess I can start my running again once they've removed the K-wire & my stitch wounds have healed completely. I plan to make the Mizuno Wave Run my comeback race, so I've got 2 months .. Really itching to get out & do something... rclxms.gif

Just wondering, do you guys ever have any jabbing knee pain after running for a while? To make it worse, the pain just stays on for 10-15 minutes... My friends told me to stop running but I enjoy running and it is sort of my preferred way to stay healthy.
