badly organised, started 20mins late, start line was a mess, and most importantly traffic wasn't managed well and was dangerous as cars crossed path with runners.

Tmn Metropolitan Kepong, KLCC Park, partially at Lake Gardens, Tmn Tasik Permaisuri, partially at Tmn Tasik Titiwangsa.
if i remember correctly.

Tmn Bandaran Kelana Jaya tak ada.

10km isn't a marathon

some say breathing in through the nose is better, but i breathe in with my mouth most of the time as i'm always out of breath heh, aside from drying mouth, no major issue for me.

prolly better if you run in proper running shoes, might injure yourself otherwise.

if you're out of breath, you'll slow down; if you push on, which i haven't tried before to the extreme, ya i guess you'll faint lol.

indian lady was sheela, her time was 1hr27mins, always see her getting first in all the races lol.

i complained on their fb page about most of the points you raised.
but can't really expect much cheering crowd la

isn't the running t-shirt the same as other dri-fit shirts, felt the same to me

i always like to correct people when they misquote Adidas's tagline heh, it's "Impossible is Nothing", not nothing is impossible, there's a crucial difference heh

i've never really run on treadmill before, but i think one advantage of treadmill is you can set it at a constant pace, so you can set the level of effort you wanna exert and it's a good way to control and pace yourself, plus you can add inclination.

having said that, i don't run on treadmills since i don't have one and do not go to the gym heh.

lol "standard" guy.

for me i generally do not eat much prior to a race, but i do feel hungry in the morning hence will take in a mug of milo mixed with cereals and a bun perhaps, which was what i had prior to PJ half, just to get rid of the hungry feeling.
for 10k i imagine even if you don't take anything before it'd be fine.

but i've never run a full marathon before, fairly sure you'd need to stock up some food in you for that.

running lab at tropicana city mall.
but i doubt their accuracy, it's hard to see what kind of pronation you have when you're running without like some slow-motion high speed camera.

but the way the uncle checked my gait didn't really give me much confidence, he just looked at my feet from sideway while i walked, didn't check the wear & tear of my shoes nor did he look from behind.

precisely, tell me about it.

i've never run that bigger route at DPC before, maybe can try, however this doesn't run up the hill right? wonder if we can just run up the hill.

if you can run everyday like that you're well on track to hit your targets. and i'd say if you feel alright and your legs feel fine just keep doing it and slowly up your mileage.

nope, you have to factor in not just the traffic, road closures, but also parking and walking, plus there'll be lotsa people too.
unless you don't mind starting from behind lol, then not a problem.

nah i think the elevation isn't accurate, it tends to exaggerate the height, DPC's big route is pretty much flat, just have to compare both sides to the water level of the lake then you'll see.

feels pretty flat to me heh

i use runkeeper too, and it basically shows the elevation of the route, doesn't give stats like elevation gained etc.

shoes cannot just increase your pace by 1.5min/km in less than a week! that's a hugeeee difference, if ada kasut macam tu please intro lol. you prolly are already that fast la.

from the map monorail seems to be slightly nearer to zouk leh.

argh so it is cancelled eh... i have yet to receive the notice =(.
was looking forward to the Melaka trip... those people who booked hotel rooms how ah.

i recall someone wearing that tight shorts all the time leh

not everyone as high mileage as you la

i just checked out your runkeeper logs, pretty good for someone who just started man, also you run at DPC almost every morning, maybe i'll join you instead of going all the way to KLCC park sometimes haha.

anyway Nike run is about 10.6km i believe, i mapped it out, which pisses me off since if it's stated 10km so why add that 600m which is a huge difference . so to achieve sub-1hr you need an average pace of 5min39sec, good luck with that!

lol yes i see them all the time...the gap between no.1 and 2 is pretty huge, almost 6mins!

you sure you quoted the right person? he top 100 finisher leh.
maybe he was running his 2nd round liao lol.

i am =)

tell me about it man, i spent half an hour driving around Putrajaya looking for the LYNR booth -___-.
but mainly because i was fed the wrong location lol, zz.
