My first run at PJ Half Marathon yesterday. Took 7km, but managed to clock 45mins without training. Is it good? Didn't wear my specs so I missed all the water stations lol!

It was quite a fun experience but my lower thigh hurts now.

But had to search for water and was wondering around in the stadium, not knowing water are outside. sad.gif

I feel like doing proper training for future marathons now. biggrin.gif Will be joining Nike 10km, but not sure if I can make it.
*
. I finished about the same time too. I was the only person who was wearing a jacket (brown color).

And you may see me again in Nike 10km run as well.

Hello, anyone here already collected Nike We Run KL 10K race pack at The Curve?
*
Collected. It was a little crowded when I went there at about 11:30 (mainly students collecting). They also have some other events happening there.

The route map, start line, finish line etc (all info regarding the race) will be given with your kit.

You can park around the starting line there is a shuttle bus from the finish line to take you back there  laugh.gif

Too bad the shuttle bus service only starts at 7:30pm. Usually I will go back once I am done with running. Now have to wait for about 1 hour after the run.

I'm noob runner too, and almost wanted to buy a HRM/GPS watch. But then I found an alternative (till at least I make sure I really take running seriously and not hangat).

If your phone supports GPS and is smartphone (Android/iPhone), you can try install this free app
http://runkeeper.com

It helps you track your pace, distance, duration, route, etc. I now train by knowing my limit of avg pace. My body can take pace of 6min range, but when goes 5min range then I loose breath fast. So I know I'm not strong enough to stay too long that speed.

You probably can give the app a try before spending money on the HRM/GPS watch cause not cheap smile.gif
*
Few phone apps that I have tried :

1) Endomondo (Available for Android, iOS, WP7, BlackBerry and some Symbian phones)
- nice app, and suitable for those who do more than just running (walking, cycling, hills etc). I am currently using this. Limited functionality in free version (can't set time goal and

2) Nike+ (available for Android and iOS only)
- only for running. This is the only app which still tracks your distance etc even though there is no GPS coverage. My 2nd choice. However, Fb sharing and web statistics are very poor compared to Endomondo. I can't really access some of my running stats.

3) Sports Tracker (Available for Android, iOS, WP7 and Symbian phones)
- nice app but I seldom use this because when I tried on WP7 and Symbian, there is no voice feedback (saying how many KMs you have done etc). But it is a nice app for multi-activities.

4) Adidas MiCoach (So far seen on Android and iOS. Not sure on other phones)
- Similar to Nike+ but the stats are far worse (phone and also web). Only used once and I did not use it after that. Nice app though. Unfortunately, I need more details about my run which this one couldn't provide.

Actually, which one is the wristband? The one attached together with the D-tag?

Damn, I think my wristband is missing. It is not in my goodie bag.

Yup, realised that after looking at some photos in the internet. Looks like mine was not in the bag sad.gif

Just back home after Nike 10K Run. Finished in 1 hour 12mins. Too bad, I started from right behind and my 1st KM took me 12minutes.

Didn't really enjoy the race. The track was a little challenging and nice, but most of the participants are fun runners who were walking all the way and they occupied the front areas (starting line). I was running zig zag all the way until the finish line.
