yeah...RJM, plan to run at 5-6hr

will bring my sony point-shoot camera, she can handle rain and water easily

me. I'm using SPI belt. very comfortable if u want to carry some small items, car keys, gel, etc.
no bounce.

i normally put handphone & car key. so far has been serving me so well.
bought it from Choi.

it wont bounce if u didnt put much heavy stuff, i did try before to stuff in many things, it did bounce actually. that time i put car key, BB phone, gel and coin some more 
other than that, you  can try running wallet, but quite small compartment.

got another one you can strap on your arm, bigger size than those attach to shoelace.

something like this.

you can find it for other brand too, like NB

I owe two of those Nike Arm band .. working fine but only need rinse it after a run .. 

haha .. both of them was on right arm coz left already got Iphone arm band ... 
Looks bulky on it 

Yes, curl bros who neglect lower body exercises that would otherwise provide them with explosive power/strength are unsightly.

Squats and deadlift are really fulfilling exercises, everyone should incorporate this into their routine.

All you regs here are just way too nice sometimes, haha!

I woulda given him hell for that initial comment..

As far as racing flats go, the NB1400 is not the lightest nor is it the flattest of flats...  What distance U plan to use the shoes for ? I've been using Asics Gel Hyperspeed 3 (the latest one is Hyperspeed 5) for over a year now & it's the lightest shoe I've got in my stable now (not including spikes). However the issue is durability & being a pretty big guy, I only use the shoes for 10K races, 12K max.

If Ur a light runner (60kg below) with efficient strides, U can use the NB for half marathons or even marathons. I bet it's much more durable than Asics too. U might also wanna check out Adizero Hagio. Adizeros have this thing called the Torsion plate right in the middle of the sole, U can really feel it working. I plan to switch to that once my Asics have worn out, which is not that long now... maybe after Larian Bomba... 

I used to weigh 84kg, yet I used Adizero Ace for 2 half marathons back in 2010. But the cushioning was like gone after halfway la.. after that I switched to Newtons for HM, currently happy with the Brooks Pure Cadence... But I think for 10K or less it's still okay... 60-65kg considered light wat... not like me.. like a rhinoceros... 

Work on Ur running economy, try to get a faster turnover & try as much as possible to land light... the higher Ur turnover, the lighter Ur feet will become, meaning U'll only make minimal contact with the road becoz Ur legs are turning faster...

Adizero Boston is quite well cushioned, there's no Adizero Ace Pro, but there's Adizero Ace & there's Adizero Pro. The Pro is being replaced by the Hagio. If Ur lucky U can still find some around... Adizero Pro is the lightest Adizero...

Faster turnover = higher cadence (number of strides per feet per minute). Of course U have to land on midfoot/forefoot to be able to achieve that. If Ur a heel striker, work on achieving faster switch from heel (landing) to toe off (take off).. eventually this will lead to midfoot/forefoot striking...

Check out the Saucony Kinvara 2 just ard 7.3oz.  Light enuf to be a racer and a marathon shoe.  4mm drop and just abt the right cushioning and support.  Durability - easily last u 400k.  One may get better mileage if u are light footed and not on the heavy side (60-70kg)  Price wise RM280 for LYN Runners.  And if u really want a flat racing shoe, the Newton MV2 had proven itself.  Just over  5oz.  I hv seen runners taking it for a 42k race but i think its more suitable for 5, 10k and 15k

Added on May 2, 2012, 10:57 pmIMHO and not doubting the capabilities of others, unless one can do a 10k in 40-50mins then a racing flats is important bcos of the fast turnover.  you just need speed and as less weight as possible.  slightly heavier shoe will slow you down. Else a light weight trainer weighing abt 7oz will be good enuf

Actually i m preparing for year end Penang Bridge FM. I am looking to upgrade my gear also.
Currently i m using kayano 17 for training. Just wondering wat kind of use u all prefer for HM or FM ?

Hi, I checked last year, medal only 100#. So you must run atleast 55min and below.
