So sorry to hear that tenno
I hope for your fast recovery....I've been there before. Left me inactive over a month.

Ccube, I'm pretty much interested also in the Newton shoes that you are bringing in. I've read ur blog and you noted down that it is not suitable for wide feet like mine.
There really is no Newton shoes for wide feet?

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?

Gonna do the half at the PBIM. Want to go a step further for SCSM.

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

I was disappointed with my Siemens Run yesterday
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
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!
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
2. Love the cheering 1 km stretch from the end. Gave me an added boost.
3. Can we stop making a mess at Dataran Merdeka? It's not hard to find a trash bin Stop Littering!!!

Good idea! I second that.

A small request : Can we all meet up around 750pm to give way for muslim prayers?

Gary Leon Robert was a UNITEN student at Bangi campus.
He was in one of my classes this semester.
He was a very nice guy. He will be sorely missed

Wow!!! Congrats dude on ur mighty effort to quit smoking! I know it must be hard since I was a smoker too!
Kudos man! Kudos!

I'm desperately looking for a Mizuno Wave Run (mens) bib.

shahwan_bobo21@yahoo.com

I'm definitely going to join that one!

I've also thought that it would be nice to climb up Mount Kinabalu as well as tht is one of the things tht I've always wanted to do.
Anybody here have any experiences???
And better still, anybody here care to join me???
A show of hands here....the more the merrier

Hi everyone!
Do you guys know where I can do a 'sole test' or whatever u call it, here in KL?
I want to know what exactly is my foot type. And what shoes to buy to suit my foot type and also my running style.
I run landing on the balls of my foot aka 'POSE Technique'.
I'm planning to get a new pair of shoes next week and I'm willing to spend around RM 350. Any brand I don't mind.
Thank you.

P.S have anyone tried registering for Borneo Marathon yet??? It said on it's website that registration commences on 1st February. I've tried but nothing came out.

Thank you CCube. I'll go to Gardens then. If anything, I'll give u an sms.

Anyone want to sell their Adidas Sundown Marathon Singapore running bibs :
1. Full marathon (men)
2. Half marathon (men)

Really really want to run the race.

toto4d,
read a lil bit of ur training log.
what's ur condition now???
i plan to climb mount kinabalu 1-2 days after borneo marathon. u wanna join?

Yeay!!!
I managed to register for the Penang Bridge Marathon (full) this november.
This will be my first full marathon ever!!!!! Woohoo super excited!

Training must go on! Impossible is nothing!

Try a 1:2 ratio, Jamis.
For example : 20 seconds sprint, 40 seconds jog;
What I do is 2:3 ratio but with a shorter sprint interval.....i.e I do 15 secs sprint (70% full effort) and 25 secs jog (5:00 min/km). I find that this interval training improved my performance substantially...probably u can try this out.
