Thanks. I barely made the COT (10 minutes to cut off) but I made it nonetheless lol.

The HM time is my PB so far just a little bit over 3 hours. I think if i went about it the usual way i prolly won't make it by the 30th KM. Walk breaks prevents losing breath and blisters which i get a lot in my previous runs.

I started with 2 min run and 1 minute walk but i got super pancit after 25 km plus and my running started to deteriorate so i switched to 1 min run 1 min walk. I managed to keep that up until the finish line with few stops to eat and pain relief.

It was raining mid race which sucks but not long after i reached the telur goyang station and the hot softboiled egg on top of bread is godsent in that cold and wet situation. Not many ppl in exclusive FM routes but it gets a little crowded on shared routes. They give bananas along the way but rly not enough. I brought a snicker bar and a couple of small 5 stars bars and they really helped.

I think sprinting is running at your maximum capacity and speed. Normal run can vary from slow run, fast run etc. Usually you do sprinting in set intervals - sprint for short bursts, then rest while walking and repeat.

dude, same. but spartan is super expensive wei. 1 spartan can almost join 2 vipers. i only register 1 to try see 1st. i think this year imma mix and match a bit. viper tunnel challenge seems quite interesting. also they started giving out under armour shirts which will hopefully improve the quality of their shirts.

oh have you been through one already? but quite strict right? one failed attempt and straight away have to do 30 burpees

i see. they don't have lots of water station? haizz i wish they at least give u try until u give up then can do burpees.

oh really? i think i read somewhere saying for spear throw for example, only one throw is allowed and if its a miss then its straight to burpee. ah gloomy days arethe best. not as annoying as raining and not as torturous as a sunny day.

hmm been using endomondo for a while now and a bit reluctant to change because of all the records and everything in there ady. but my new phone (redmi 4x) have some stupid gps issue. the app cant access gps if the screen is locked. was wondering if using other app will solve it.

it's the first thing i tried. didn't work

2nd thing i did, turn off battery saver. still no go.

i end up turning off sleep mode and run it with the screen unlocked, randomly buttdialing people along the way.

i have trouble finding time to dedicate for runs too. what i did is to incorporate runs into daily commute. instead of just driving to work take a combination of public transportation and some walking routes where i can run a little to and from work.

I'm thinking of buying those chapalang imitation compression tights (around rm40-60) online.

Don't expect them to be as good as original 2xu or under armour or something but wondering how good they are.

Anybody got experience using those? Does the compression even work at all? Got suggestions?

I see. Yea the way Im seeing it for the price can prevent chafing and looking cool is good enough if compression is working would be bonus. maybe placebo effect at least lol.

There's also those partial compressions (calf sleeves etc) which is cheaper. Anybody here a big believer in compressions?

I see. Do you get those branded expensive ones ranging in the hundreds?

Oooh bundle? How much did u get it for?

Haha yeah sure can try first

Aah not bad. Thanks for sharing!

lol true. i thought of using paintball elbow/knee guard at one time as they're quite rugged.

Tesla got compression oso aa i tot electric car only lol.

I guess i know ady what to expect performance-wise from chapalang brand compression which is not much lol.

Was a little bit worried if badly done compression can actually hinder performance as they deal with blood flow and stuff. If this is not the case then shud be okay la.

Anyone joining KL Towerthon?

Got any idea if they open surau on certain2 floor?

haha decided not to join ady. they only give finisher tee to the first 100 finisher in just open men category. what kind of kedekut organizer lidat.

Wha dekathlon shoes i really doubt the quality. Last time buy for my kid not 2 weeks fall apart already.

My go-to budget shoes are Power shoes from bata la. Don't have specific model to suggest but usually can go nearest bata and try the ones u think looks good. If it feels good as well then just take those. Around RM50 to 90 can usually find a decent pair.

Completed the uitm ultra marathon this morning. The hills are no joke +_+

Anyone here join as well?
