Wohoo~!! Nice nice! Sama-sama lari-lari cari makan!

We might all be sadistic bit.. can sleep more in the morning but don't want, wake up super early than work for morning runs; can have aircon and goyang kaki at home during noon/ evening but don't want, go out run, run half way suddenly rain also nevermind; can rest at home after work but don't want, go out for night runs..

I just got myself a pair of Pureflow after the ENR and just ran in them on wed as well as today. I'm liking the cushions and comfort~ However, my calf muscle started to have a slight pulling feel or sore after 10-15 mins run in them and I'm wondering whether my muscles are not fully recovered from ENR yet or is it the shoes itself which I'll have to adapt to as well as strengthening my calf muscle. Any similar experience as mine?

Gave me different feel compared to my adizero which has stiffer cushioning, liking it thus far but i think i'll need to have full recovery first before putting in more mileage into them. Been rushing my runs I guess, felt the pull and sore in my calf muscle during wed's run and told myself to have a week's break but went back into running again this evening and thus, the discomfort came back. I wana blame that dog on wed who chased me though! hehe...

Me too, 10 sec person..but started to change to 30 secs after reading before my run just now.. Thanks for the advice tenno..

For those who might be interested in fitness books, I've came across this book about stretching at MPH last night which I then bought it upon interest..glance through it just a minute ago and, as also stated by tenno, hold 30 secs or longer while 10 secs is just minimal.. Basically the book briefly explains stretching for specific spots...

The one I've gotten is in mandarin and I think there's an english version called the anatomy of stretching by Brad Walker.

Happy stretching and running


Tempting me to get one too~!! Just don't want it to bounceee..

Thanks for sharing tenno, gona look up that book at the stores...while still nursing my calf muscles, did a full body stretch accordingly last night and felt "loose" throughout after that..it's been some time since doing so except focusing only on the leg before a run...

Bro, the book in english version is this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Anatomy-Stretc...r/dp/1905367031
But I'm not sure whether MPH has it as I so happened to stumble across the mandarin version.

Else there's another 1 shared by tenno as follow.

I do both pre and post-run stretching. Pre-run stretching i normally do from head to toe, focusing and holding more from waist down to feet especially hamstrings, glutes and calves. And not forgetting dynamic stretching as well as warm ups like light running. Post-run i then just focus on hamstrings, glutes and calves, no more head to toe. After that, makan kuat-kuat!

Ennn..I've read alot on heel striking causes more injury~kekeke...

On the side note, there's divided opinions between landing styles but I personally think "do not fix what isn't broken", so if landing on your midfoot is what you're doing all the while without injuries or discomfort, you probably could stick and do with it. As like seng said, I too think that everyone has their own style so what is suitable for them might not be suitable to you. Though no harm trying likewise but if it's still giving you problems/ messing with your comfortable rhythm then it's time to stick back to your usual. Shift your focus more to improving your endurance or speed work if you're comfortable with your landing and breathing.

Alot of kenyan pace here!!
5+ more weeks to my first HM in june..wait till my neck long d coz looking forward to it.. but..i no kenyan pace..

Hentam first, hentam saje!! though never had that urge for FM yet, my first HM is like that, no second thought, register first then think how to die for it after. worry not, still got half a year to work on it and make it through the end.

Wa! so many amendments? I was not aware of that except the starting time change for 21km from 7am to 6am. I wonder if they'll at least block one side of the road since they're running it big this time. If no road block for safety purposes then really

Based on my recent experience and what I read is that going uphill would be try to maintain your pose as on flat surface, not to lean too much to the front or back and, shorter stride with faster/ shorter arm swinging to help pull you up. Better not try to tackle the hill as hard (fast) as you can else pamcit later.

While going downhill would be pretty much the same too, slight forward lean but with shorter stride too. Better not sprint while overstriding downhill.

I'm still learning too on hills and gotta hear from sifu sekalian.

Aw, hopefully it'll be well arranged and not turn out to be a mess on race day. But I'm really glad that at least running events are starting to gather popularity here and I'm hoping it'll keep going.

Yep, I've already paid..they called to inform that they've rescheduled to 15th july...so i ma see u there?

And remember to save energy going up and downhills especially at foochow road and batu lintang there then potong them thereafter...
Yep, i saw that they added the finisher tee to 10km... and don't forget, race pack collection will be starting this coming Friday..

I take oat cereal/ milo + toasted wholemeal bread with hazelnut spread & butter...pizza + 100 plus = treat after run...
