Strength training by lifting weights. Not only it makes you stronger, but it helps condition the body thus looking better.

nowsaday its too hot to jog comfortably in evening even at 7pm...

sometime can even feel the heat wave from the ground when bypass some area.

last time when i did weight training for leg, sure cant jog for a while..huhu..

Just thought if u guys wanna know the tshirt fot Ipoh's Larian Selebriti Anti Rasuah looks like..


Attached thumbnail(s)

nice green t....

btw...how u guys able to measure d distance u jog? i only manage to measure d duration...

n bkt aman sounds too far....but heard that they usually trained for 22km

Normally that will only happen to those who seldom or hasn't been working out as the muscle is very stiff due to that. If you workout regularly, there shouldn't be any complaints.

The Bukit Aman training, they have 7km, 10km and 21km course. That's what I heard from Pacesetters when I went to their office the other day.

Yeah... Used my KLIM Adidas RM50 voucher just now and bought 2 new running shorts and 1 running vest.

i still haven't use d voucher yet...coz it stated tat i need to buy a minimum of RM250 item...(1 item only)

how much is ur short n vest?

Yahlor. The salesgirl said I must buy a pair of shoes. But my shoes is new, only 2 months old when I bought it for KLIM. So I think she thinks that I might walk away without buying anything, so she called her supervisor to ask whether can I buy other things or not, and he said can. So I got myself shorts and vest. The running shorts costs RM99.90 each and vest costs RM69.90. So total amount is RM269.70. Damage after discount is RM219.70. YEAH... More running apparel to my wardrobe.

then is lucky of u...which adidas shop u go?

i usually dun invest on shorts...i'm interested in buying vest onli...n last week i edi bought a reebok running vest for 50% discount... .....

btw...i saw nike vest is Rm99....n reebok vest Rm69..b4 discount...so adidas is cheaper?? i tot adidas is d most expensive among other brand

I went to the one at Mid Valley. I wanted to go KLCC cause I know the people there and it's their flagship store (they get new stuff faster as they are direct Adidas). But too far. Adidas is the world 2nd largest sports chain. 1st is Nike. But for me, I'm a Adidas guy. From head to toe, everything also Adidas. I just love the 3 stripes. And besides, from my point of view, Nike's stuff are overpriced and their running shoes aren't as comfortable compared to Adidas.

I'm going to the gym now to workout again. Will post pictures of the shorts and vest later tonight to share share. Take care.

my sis alwiz claim tat if i wear adidas, ppl wil said that's imitation...n girls suits nike better...so all my stuff r mostly nike..or reebok, if i'm out of cash...

i shld gv adidas a try next time if i wanted to buy a running shoe..

Erm, i always did squat (barbell and hack), leg press and leg extension

As promised, here are the pictures of my running vest and shorts I purchased this morning. There are from the Adidas Response series.




And also not forgetting my running shoe, the Adidas Supernova Cushion 6. Bought this around 2 months ago when it first arrived. But I actually had booked it since December 2006. That is why I said, I prefer Adidas KLCC. This shoe costs me RM369 and it's the second best Adidas running shoe in their line up now after the Adidas Adistar that costs RM529. I really love this shoe. So light and comfy.



Hmmm... It depends how you see it sometimes. I gotta admit that Nike have some really nice designs sometimes. And some people likes the 3 stripes that Adidas has. So, it's more like a Love and Hate thingy. As for you saying that you will like to give Adidas running shoes a try, feel free to try them first before purchasing. You feet might like them or hate them. So make the correct choice before spending. Shoes nowadays aren't cheap.



Good for you! But I'm still suprised that you complain of soreness. You know lunges? Try doing that. You feel it almost immediately, but it's really good for your legs and also your bums. If you can do it properly, you can skip extension. As for squats, continue with it. Besides these, you should do upper body strength training too. Running isn't everything about the legs you know. After all these, you will feel the pain, but always remember, pain is your friend. You will wake up the next day feeling even better. Trust me.

i was caught twice for running instead of walk, there are field marshall along the way. just that there isnt enough people to keep an eye on the whole route.

feel uncomfortable since it required to limit your pace throughout the event. just join once in 2003 and no intention to take part anymore.

I'll give the walk a miss this year. After Larian Mesra Polis, BHP Orange Run and Power Run, I think I'll give my body a break before going for the NB Pacesetters 15KM Run.

Just now i joined the runners beginner program by runnersmalaysia.com.my at tasek perdana. ok lah, at least jog with a bunch of ppl. Tomorrow got pacesetter's practice run for 10k, starts at 0630, same place, Bukit Aman Car Park.

I wish I can join you but I just surrendered my car yesterday night to the new owner. New car haven't arrive so I won't be able to go for the Pacesetters training every Sunday morning till I get it.
