hello everyone, new runner reporting in here, can i join LYN runners and be number 126?

fairly new to running, only started running regularly and more seriously 3 months back in april, when i signed up for scklm 10km, which was only the 2nd proper event run i've ever been in

still remember my very 1st one, putrajaya night marathon 2011, which i joined for 10k without training at all, thinking playing badminton once a week back then should be enough...only to finish it in a whopping 93mins lol, had to jog/walk/limp my way to the finish line

anyway i'm based in kepong, so would tend to run around that area on weekdays, would be glad to know any kaki here to run together.
however on weekends i do like to venture out a bit and run at different parks, so far i've been to most of the parks around kl, looking for more!

when do you guys usually run? the bigger loop or the smaller one by the lake? how to find you guys? people who wear LYN runner shirts?
i'll be running there tonight at 9pm around the big loop prolly

hello. what do you mean you run as tenno? where do you usually train?

you can join the other AKOTR runs in Indo or Philippines in September haha, i'm most likely gonna join the indo one

i see
ran about 7km last night, zz quite tired even though it's after 3 days' of rest..
how long and how fast do you usually run?

are you the threadstarter and like the leader of this group? how do i join LYN runners and also the fb group?

just learned about this route, looks pretty daunting heh



anyone runs with runners malaysia at lake gardens? thinking of joining them tomorrow morning

hello you gave me the wrong number, it should be 126 instead of 122 that clashes with williamkow, tq
also how does one get the singlet?

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

do you guys still run even if the muscles feel sore? for example 1 or 2 days after a long run, while your muscles still ache and you still have a run

i had a rather long run on saturday (long for my standard, about 14km), and left thigh was sore the next few days, but i still ran lol, some i had to run quite slowly as it was rather painful, some were ok after a while.

wonder if it's a wise thing to do or i should wait until the muscle completely feels fine before the next run

ya i think i'll start doing cross training, swimming ftw! except i suck at swimming =(

eh i'm like 167cm and 60kg too haha, high five!

eh you were there yesterday? me too! who were you?

Added on July 26, 2012, 6:52 pmwell google says a recovery run doesn't really help with recovery, but rather helps build stamina and fitness
i'm just a little concerned with running when the muscle's still sore, but i've been doing it already anyway lol

oh i see haha, think i remember, you were saying it's too dark at the end of the field right
i'm the guy in the stan chart singlet

i run at kiara park quite often too, whenever i have kaki there haha, maybe we can run together some time

about 1.15km for the small loop by the lake, big one i'm not sure
you can always map on google maps or mapmyrun

yo i'll join the group

apparently it's open for students already? a friend has signed up, and it's on 14th october

same here! after running 55mins for SCKLM in June, my time hasn't improved since =(
also mimi89 i've got the same height and weight as you haha

i signed up for PJ Half Marathon too! will be my very first half marathon, was planning to leave the first time till PBIM but i guess i'll take this as a trial HM heh.

you run 10km in 52mins boleh finish HM in sub 2hrs ke? what is your HM time? can serve as guidance to me heh

been running despite the haze, but it isn't as bad as the week before SCKLM so not too bad, i even ran during then, tried running with the mask on but took it off after being out of breath lol

where in PJ SS1 do you run? got park there ah?

lowyat runners.
i'm running 16.8k!

are you Stanley?
think you're the second fastest LYN runner after Karsten

i got a Lunarglide 3 from the Nike warehouse sale, it was cheap, and so far so good in using it.
then again i'm not pro enough to even differentiate the difference between various shoes lol.

i run at kiara park quite often, jom let's run there this saturday.

you can always measure the distance using Google Maps, just turn on the labs function of measuring tool.


i ran KOTR 16.8km and i didn't stop at all for any water, it's my first time running so far in a race heh, guess i just find it too hard to drink or even sip while running, and too kiasu to stop lol.

you're fast, are you in the LYNR fb group?

i remember my very first run was a 7.5min pace for less than 5km, lol damn unfit back then, and that was 5 months ago.
i never really did all the interval trainings or hill repeats or whatnot, all i did was pushed myself each time i ran, whatever the route was, whether flat or hilly, i think on average in the past 5 months i ran about 3-4 times each week, with an average distance of 5-6km each time, i'm pretty sure with this amount of training you will improve your time to 6min pace, the keyword here is you have to PUSH yourself in your runs.

my 2 cents, others probably have better and more structured training plans, i'm just too lazy to follow those haha.

i haven't run a HM or FM yet .
first one will be PJ half marathon, will take it easy, first proper major one will be PBIM!

800m uphill not that tough? lol 800m sounds bloody long to me.

i've pretty much joined runs on every weekend from September till November, assuming i join the Bkt Damansara fun run or whatever event that pops up for that weekend.

SCKLM has by far the worst goodie bag i've seen, it's the biggest running event in Malaysia and all you get is a bag with a Colgate toothpaste, Salonpas patch and a Titan watch catalogue -__-

if it's side stitches i've been told it's all about your breathing, the pain originates from diaphragm spasm, breathing in and out deep and with a rhythm might help.

there already is a file of members list in the fb group, just gotta look for it and edit, but it's outdated.

well a lot of the members in the FB group ain't LYN users, ya i suggest keeping the membership stuff to LYNR FB, and keep only active members hehe, whereas this thread is free for all.

normal armbands aren't water resistant, the first one i bought was a normal one from a shop (pricey stuff...bought in a rush), and it basically becomes wet after every run...but so far iphone still ok despite getting damp each time.

now i'm using armpocket and it's water resistant, slightly bulkier but can put more stuff in it like cards or keys, got it at rm100 but it's worth it i think.

that's a lot of household products lol

looks pretty hardcore heh, where to buy? doesn't seem to be able to buy on the page?

i am! don't know who else is though, let me create a file in the FB group

i got it at the Gardens 2XU shop when it was having sale, still cost about rm100.
think it's about USD30 not including shipping on their website.
