Hi 266K,

Noticed your running calendar, my rest of the year running event same as your

MPSP Green Run 21km ( ), Taiping IM 21km( ), Penang BIM 21km ( )


If you need me to collect the Green Run Bib, just let me know, I stay around there only

HI 266K,

Nope, I'm not going to the Chungling run (didn't know until now) and have plan already. Have a great run!

I stay 5 min drive from MPSP office, in Taman Pauh Jaya.

I still yet to register for PBIM, will do it before 15 Sep.

Heavy haze, cannot go for a run : - (

, no choice, guess more time to do core training (which is the part I am very lazy on)

also, Nike+ and MiCoach

Northern runners: Rock to Rock Run 2012 open for registration.

I also run in morning, especially in weekend for my LSD. As I'm a slow runner, I start early, sometime 5am. Before that always got excuse no time, with family commitment etc ... only choice is early morning.

Start running since May 2012, and finally join mine first race last week, MPSP Green Run HM with 2H23minute

During my run in morning:
1) I always wear white t-shirt
2) Road ID
3) Hydration belt with a blinking light
4) Face traffic
2) Don't carry any valuble item (eg handphone, wallet)

Added on August 30, 2012, 1:35 pmI also listen to music, using Ipod Nano with Nike+ sensor (to measure my distant). Have no problem with outside sound, make sure headphone not those insert into the ear canal type / noise canceling type. and like Tenno say - not too loud

My powersong is - All American Reject - Move Along

Thanks! By complete the half, I felt great sense of achievement (as just start running seriously a bit). Overall, the route is very flat, weather is nice. In my training, I have confident with a slow pace at around 7:20mins/km. So, my strategy is don't rush out of starting line, and actually try follow some lady gang , keep my pace above 7:00mins/km till 11km. After that, feel still strong (own self also surpise), then pick up my pace to around 6:50mins/km till around the end. However, struggle around 18km but carry on and manage to complete it!!!!

what work:
1) Hydration
2) take 1 gel in half way
3) start slow
4) knee support work

what not work
1) iPod keep falling out - never happened in LSD. Strange

Next month, will try the Taiping IM, also HM. Any advice, cause I think there are hills. All my training in my taman very flat, and no chance / have time to go other area to run. Should I go slower?

Added on August 30, 2012, 9:27 pmThanks for the advice , look good too, will try it. Original and a sport version from Philips already KO. Found that I can't run without music, especially in LSD

266K,

I also plan to go there on race day, from Butterworth (I stay) to Taiping should not be that far.

All,

Anyone run Taiping before, is it really hilly? And asking all sifu, do we need hill training?

My main concern in PBIM in Nov, there are 2 big "hill" in the middle of the bridge.

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.

Just confirmed with the organizer, Taiping IM can collect on 14 September 2012 1.00PM-7.00PM
15 September 2012 10.00AM-9.00PM. I'm going to collect on 14 Sep.

Thanks for the tips, after Taiping, will prepare for FM.

Added on September 5, 2012, 4:16 pmOk, thanks for the advice. Will try LSD to 30km

I'm using iPod nano with Nike + to track my run, quite accurate, and I like listen to music. A cheap solution for me as I got the iPod, and just buy Nike +. However, if you want to go this direction, do wait til 12 sept as apple going to launch new one. I'm hoping something extreme like Motoactv, with GPS, Bluetooth and can hook up to many type of sensor.
I was going to buyMotoactv after the price drop but rumor say that google going t to discontinue it.

If VFF is good for 10km, and you feel great about it. It should be no problem to go with HM. Enjoy and do feedback after that (cause I am looking for my next pair of shoe)

---

Added on September 11, 2012, 8:25 amif you have a iPod, you just need to purchase the nike + kit (a receiver and a foot sensor). The receiver to be plug to the iPod, the sensor should be attach to the shoe. By your running motion, the sensor able to detect and measure distant and speed for you.

Note:
1) I don't use Nike shoe ( ), you can DIY or purchase a simply attachment to your shoe
2) Accuracy - good. Compare to my friend Garmin, over 21km, I got 20.9km
3) Cheapest solution to measure distant or speed (till I get a GPS gadget)
4) It don't use GPS or internet

Google will help you with more answer or just go to Apple / Nike website
