Kuat drama ni. Confirm.

Okay already la. Now watch your pace and do some speed training.

Maybe my body cannot get familiar to it. So my humble opinion is, gel does not necessarily work for everyone and that is the point I want to put across.

Actually it counts leh if you want to PB

I do it when I feel like I'm about to hit the 'wall'. Haha.

But yea, can take the night before or the morning before race.

So what is everyone's next event? Mine is Tuba Trail Run in Langkawi.

Fuhh. Good luck ya!

I see the pattern here

I am not a fast runner but I've completed an FM before (sub 6). What I did at that time was ensuring I run 10km x 3 times a week. I think I did that for about 4 weeks leading towards the race. Back then, I didn't know what was the right training method. Just hentam only. I know many will say go do LSD! But I didn't. Well at least my method did work for me.

And can you run outdoor instead? 1 hour on treadmill is not equivalent to 1 hour on road.

All the best!!

You just need to know which one is open, the distance and approximate time that it will take to arrive at Masjid Jamek. The key is to park at an LRT station, so you could as well drive further from your house (and nearer to race venue), then take the LRT.

- is there a lot of difference between running say, 42km on road vs trail?
A LOT. Typically, trail has higher elevation gain (JBU was approx 1900m last year). Some trails are single, technical trails, some are wide logging trails. Also a lot of trail run happens in a mix of sand, gravel, tarmac environment- your choice of shoe can make a difference if you are prone to injury.

- 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?
Mandatory items are compulsory to show to them when you want to collect your bib. I do believe for reflective vest depends on your hydration bag - some bags are already well-reflected. Or you can just add reflective tapes to the bag.

- also do you lug all of the stuff along the race?
Yes, but i minimize my first aid kit and sweater/poncho depends on weather.

Most mandatory items may not seem essential. E.g. headlamp. You think you are only running during the day because flag off is 7am and COT is 7pm. So why bother carrying a headlamp, right? Please change the way we think of mandatory items. They become essential items if we get lost in the trail and have to spend extra hours in the trail. Then your emergency blanket becomes necessary when the night gets cold. You know, along that line.

Jom Kemensah trail this weekend!

which info difference are you referring to? there are 2 ways of tracking time on strava - moving time/elapsed time - so depending on what you're seeing. if you are referring to elevation gain, it is because their algorithm is slightly different but the difference should not be huge as you mention. i'll always refer to strava though, for consistency.

nope, not joining. nowadays i prefer run trail

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

Early morning runs. 7am/730am. KDCF, Kemensah trail or Setia Alam trail. I heard Salomon is having a running session at Kemensah on the 15th. You should go try run there.

My friend ran Gopeng 50k with the RM10 bag bought at Decathlon. Epic sia

Dragon back road. I think I'll pass

Activity time depends on what you set on Strava as the Run Type. By default, the Run Type is set as RUN, and it gives you MOVING TIME. If you set it as RACE, it gives you ELAPSED TIME. Quite dumb la, because even not race also, I would rather see Elapsed Time. But that's just how Strava is.

it's taper week. and if you are worried of injury, you should rest from now till race day.

I haven't figure out my training ground for the weekend haha.

Salomon - running event. And just found out BUFF is also doing Kemensah trail on the same day. But they going further distance (higher elevation).

Nak TT jugak haha

why the cramp on saturday, though?

yup, very gatal.

I'm so impressed.

Memang misteripunyaolang. No intro what race, where, suddenly asking for collection service.
