I've decided to take it slow and go 50km for janda baik ultra and end the year with 70km malaysia ultra trail festival.

If I survive that then can consider 100km for next year lol.

some questions..

- is there a lot of difference between running say, 42km on road vs trail?
- MUTF got tons of mandatory items including things like first aid kit, emergency blankets, reflective vest, headlamps etc. do all of them really really really need to be brought and is enforced tightly? or is it more of a guideline if ur seriously contending for the top placement and a miss here and there is okay if ur not really competitive despite the warning?
- also do you lug all of the stuff along the race?

i just buy aonijie vest which is less than 100bucks and reuse my gatorade water bottles. survived many ultras dy. #cheapskate  

Don't trust him. That Newton route covers ammah hill. Which can be worse than the niamah hill last Sunday. HAHAHA.

i notice the website says COT is 3h45m which i think i can manage. just trying to get a few HMs under my belt.

i see. didn't have that problem during the borneo marathon. thanks for the heads up

I m using amazfit about one year....... full charge......can last 16-17 hours, tested at Taiwan trail event, BUTM 100KM and Penang ECO.  For event 100km, I charged it at midpoint, usually 12-13hrs after starting (battery still have 30-40% capacity).

For me ......  it is a quite high CP value watch as I m new in trail run.

Regarding GPS....... i did compared with other Brunei participants' Garmin models during BUTM, the distance and elevation quite comparable and more consistent than participants put their Garmin with ultra mod.

The first half was 49.6km (watch) vs 50.5km (official), second half was 51.1km (watch) vs 51.4km (official).

For the elevation part, the first half was 3971m (watch) vs 2650m (official); The second half is 2331m (watch) vs 2360m (official).  I can explain the first half a bit "out of line" was mainly due to the rain/cloud effect.

WTA: Suunto Ambit3 run or Amazfit Pace / Stratos ??

only want to use it for run. not interested of the idea of daily smartwatch.

Like the suunto function that can navigate your way back especially for trail run.

But Amazfit price better with wrist HR. but is it accurate?

Any Amazfit pace / stratos user here?

Hi wanna ask sifuss here,

I have been running for around 4 months plus now.From start i run around 3km per run and now i increase till 6-7km per run ( already 1 month plus) but i still not able to
like keep running non stop till 6km. Everytime I run ,I run like 1km then stop and walk and continue like that till 6-7km . From stamina wise actually i do not really feel very tired but  sometime is my leg a bit more tiring and more important factor keep me stop from running is my mental strength. everytime i run pass 1km or some landmark i set then i will stop to rest although i actually i still can run. how can every sifu here keep running nonstop ? any tips?

thanks.

looking to my schedule, i hope that SCKLM ( KLSCM  what? sorry Mr Mayor    ) will be postponed to ...............

 

let's plane some mind games here

a) ON 
b) cancel, haze is to much. we are doomed till year end with haze 
c) postponed, to a date inside October/bulan sukan negara 

advice needed; never run FM previously, mistakenly join two FM runs within 2 weeks, does one week or less for rest/recover before next run is sufficient?

thanks for all kind advice:
longest distance i did is half, but weekly mileage is 40~50k, after considering all of your words, i decided to go for both, since is first FM, so i only aim to complete within COT, hope everything's fine

guess you are not trying to miss lead him
