any ipoh runners here?

Ipoh runners reporting in.

Hey, where do you normally run?

Jz started running back. Mostly polo ground as I dun think there are other places suitable for jogging in ipoh.

yay! can you teach me how to run? new to running

i use leg to run

Goggle it la bro...watch youtube...etc.

first and foremost, u will need a god pair of jogging shoes...dun use court shoes..if u alrdy have a pair, then, hit the road... if u haven;t, then can get a beginner Adidas in the range of RM200-RM280..

after u hit the road, try to go at least 5km...use google map to roughly estimate the distance...then time urself how long it takes to do a 5km..improve from then onwards..

for added motivation, join a race...try to schedule smth 4-5 months ahead if u juz started running.. for now, say maybe the Penang International Marathon... attempt the Full Marathon of 42km... U CAN DO IT!!!

Thanks for the tip guys, but currently Im focusing the technique of running, can't seems to run with ease... and trying to learn sprinting too

You'll be having a hard time if you're trying to balance between marathon running and sprinting

Quote from Barney Stinson "the first step, you start running, there's no second step"

rm65 eh? feels a little pricey heh, will have to save up for it haha

where do you guys run and do your weekly LSD?

i just ran 4 rounds at tmn met kepong on saturday, my longest run thus far at 13.8km...legs not used to it man, sore like hell after heh



do you guys use any app to track? i started with endomondo at first, but pisses me off after a while when i couldn't amend the route easily if the GPS goes haywire, on runkeeper then, and now looking at dailymile

technique of running to run faster? or to run longer as your long term sustainable goal?

Sprinting no need to learn, just all out. best if you able to stimulate a fiece dog is chasing you behind, you're naturally will turn into best sprinting form you ever can discover yourself.

it's will automatic come to you without realising. but you wont able to learn ur self concious-ness sprinting technique as you're in panic chasing by dog...

Guess, when small, you never play "police catch thief" games right...

1)Rm65 for me quite ok, now days 1 race aldy cost us rm50+
2)mostly we do LSD at puchong kinrara, cause alot hill, wider road, alot trees...
3)Slowly increase the mileage, always listen to your body...if not it will lead u to injury (true story)
4)Last time i using Micoach, quite nice...but i keep running in same place and i aldy know the distance. So i dint use it anymore...just use my normal digital watch to count my time and my memories to measure my distance, pace and speed, By the way this will help keep my mind fresh all the way

i think every1 know how to run when 2-3yrs old...
by the way when i start my long distance running, im a heelstriker that most people running in this style, but it will damage your shoes faster and it might cost injury to your knee. (what is heelstiker?? GOOGLE IT)
After that i hear alot runner said midfoot running, so i use google and youtube, found a video bout midfoot running, slowly i learn from youtube...and keep practicing till today and i still practicing to make it perfect
Bout sprinting, guess every1 know how to sprint...cause we learn it during 2-3yrs old too
Sprinting is bout how many energy u can put down and how much breath u had...
same as above practice make perfect

any kk runners here?

Mother / teacher holding cane and catch me works better, number of cane mark on my skin determine if my running has improved
