kk welcome you... rclxms.gif well considering it's the only running event in east malaysia, you can't ask for more in terms of registration fees.. plus eventhough this was the 5th year that BIM has been held but it was actually a reboot as it was handle by a whole new organising team.

Hi i am also new here too. Fairly new to running started last year in Putrajaya night marathon 2011, i run as tenno.  Nice to meet you.
As far as i know BIM 2013 is still in planning stage, next year i hope they keep the route. Nice to run, although i haven't booked my just ticket just yet. Might do some driving from KK to Sandakan or Tawau next year.

as far as i know they won't change much in terms on the route and on the stated date of 5th May 2013.. i'm pretty sure it will be the same for next year. so do book your ticket early... thumbup.gif

Damn, I think I heel-strike too from all your descriptions. I guess it must be hard to correct after so many years of running

well, i think most beginner will have this problem, it's just second nature.. if you think like this is how normally people will walk that is they will land on their heel first..

Hmm heel strike is actually not a nature. Have you seen small babies who heel strike. Forefoot is actually the nature of how we run.

learn from small babies, look at how they breath. All the way til diaphragm, what you put your hand on their tummy, it's moving up and down.

Look at them how they run, always forefoot and so naturally.

Look at how they fall, they would climb up and run again.

can you forefoot walk? I tried many ways it's not really possible..

that's wat i'm trying to say, people who just started to run long distances will tend to use the way they walk to land on.. so most newbies will tend to heelstrike at first.. which including me.. tongue.gif

i think the best way to learn how to midfoot strike is to run barefoot on grass field.. then try to do the same thing with a heelstrike and i'm sure everyone will feel the pain of heelstriking... lol biggrin.gif of course before you do tat do make sure there are no "batu batu" on the grass field.. laugh.gif
