my knee got old injury, not due to running but car accident. Since start running recently, I really need to be careful about it, wearing knee support and go slow (good excuse for slow runner    ) do prevent injury.  And my running pace is much slower than you all.

Also going to Taiping for HM. So far, very little info about it, still not yet sort out how to collect my BIB    , on website start 14-15 but on print out form only 15th Sep. Anyone have clue?

Year end, I also going to PBIM - FM. I am worry about it too. As said, I only start running last few month, completed 1 HM, Taiping will be next, then Oct will join Rock to Rock (10.3km only). I really lack of running experience beyond HM.

My Question :How to train for FM, do I need to run 42.195km in LSD  ?

Now, my LSD max is 21km, which already took 2.5 hours, not sure how I can find time allocation to do full distant(estimate 5 + hours). All feedback is appreciate.

I'm very sure everyone's got their own bikes. I for one, would never compete on borrowed/rented bikes. I understand that U might have problem transporting bikes to the event venue. There are several workarounds:
1. Buy a bike carrier (not rack)
2. Transport Ur bike using express bus. Me & several of my teammates have done this before, so it can be done.
3. Find friends with cars + bike racks & go with them
4. Join a club.
5. Ride to the race venue
6. Find races close enuff so that U dun have to do any of the above. Once U have driving license, hv Ur own car + rack, then U can fulfill Ur dream.

Unless I can find a bike with similar make/size/brand with my own, I would think many2 times before competing on a borrowed/rented bike. Not saying it can't be done though. Triathletes/duathletes would've to train before they compete rite, so naturally they will have to have their own bikes.

Good luck.

currently using sport tracker, i do use endomodo be4, but use to sport tracker so continue use, if i open both sport tracker n endomondo, i found out both km is the same, like sport tracker show me 10k, endomondo only 9k, so i choose sport tracker, hahahahha

Going Taiping, but will run normal LSD pace, still recovering from ankle injury, lesson learnt for me, don't push myself too hard to get faster timing.

U worry about finishing FM or ur timing. FM do more LSD, time do interval, it helps.

  good advice there. alrite. noted.

Will take note of that. I'm fr East Malaysia and very unfortunately we dun have any triathlon here.

so was tinking to try out the decathlon  (Powerman) in Perak. But the issue of bike bugs me. if the event is available locally, the the rack would b great.

21Km for 2.5Hours is a good result ... no doubt if you do more LSD like 25KM/30KM then Full Marathon should bnot be any issue for you ..

haha why i feel so worthless run 21k @ 2.5hrs T_T every seems to do sub 2 nowadays

haha .. join us more often @ Ammah hill or BA surely can sayur HM with sub2 result .. like that day at Petronas Sri Hartmas back to BA you were quite good with the speed .. it took me sometime to catch up .. 

Wah, bro. Why so late to tell? please mention U want 10k or 16.8k?

Taiping, think my fren going collect on 15th, a day before race.

If u google it, u can see Marathon training doesn't require u to run any FM distance during ur training but weekly mileage shud be preferable > 50km if possible. some training even just required 3 day run per week.

21Km for 2.5Hours is a good result ... no doubt if you do more LSD like 25KM/30KM then Full Marathon should bnot be any issue for you ..

just run 30km in 3:20-3:30, no need run a 42.195km.
how to allocation time??, this teach by old uncle. HM time x 2 + 10% = +-5%time, quite accurate too if u dint had any cramp 

Ok, thanks for the advice. Will try LSD to 30km

Looks like this will be the the design of the Nike Run Tee for this year.

Any comments on it?? Personally, I think it's ok...hopefully there's still some design/pattern on the back.

Powerman is not decathlon, it's duathlon. Decathlon is an athletics discipline with 10 events. No bike required.  Just run, jump & throw.

If Ur from East Malaysia then bike bag is the thing for U (provided that U do have a bike already la). But it can cost quite a lot. A cheaper alternative would be the normal box from Ur bike shop, but it offers little protection. National team riders used to do it all the time, transporting their bikes in bike boxes to races all over the world.

For Nike Run, I have 2 questions:

1) Is this run open for runners below 18 years old; and
2) For 1+1 Buddy registration, must they be of the same gender?

Thank you.
