Hoka shoes are weird. But it look fast & conformable though. Don't mind to try if it available here

Hellooo there sifus, surely been answered a lot but I need some advice.

Just started running ever since mco. But my pace is extremely slow.. 11”-10”
but coming in for the 5th month where I struggle to run non stop to Even 1km, I manage to do per run at 5km and last night I managed to do a 10km runs For the second time in my life. But it took me 1h:40min

I know I’m slow, but if I pushed on pace on my runs I can see my watch telling my heart rate will jump to zone 4&5 and I could last only a few 2-3Kms only and would be painting heavily after.

if u ask what’s my objective, well I’ve been losing a lot weight with these constant running. From 83kg to 78kg now. But running it’s fun. But Im starting to feel bored Running for more than 1hr 30mins just to get to 10km.

1) Should I just keep running the way I am, keeping my heart rate lower and keep running more frequently and wait for my pace getting better slowly or go for short runs less than 5km but run faster to let me body get used to faster pace?

2) is it weird after when I started running months ago my whole body aches but nowadays after every run only my left betis and sometime right betis as well je yang Akan sore after every run, whereas my friends when they run they complain their knees hurts instead. Is landing feet for my running stride is wrong?

Hi all sifu here, pls recommend an essential supplements for quicker tendon and muscle recovery. I think I have a flexor hallucis brevis, discomfort during runs! Thank you!

U can start at Zone 2 Training and increase your milage gradually. U might also want to check running apps like 5k Trainer. It will guide you how to achieve the target within few weeks of running. I used this app on threadmill running. At first I only managed to run only 1km non stop. But if you have budget,there are few running classes out there you can join. For me I don't have budget so I run as per the app recommendation and do other training like Interval as well. So far in a year of training, my biggest achievement was be a Finisher at 42km trail run

Pavilion KL.

They have a Running Lab here and the Hoka Clifton Edge is available here - They also have a treadmill for you to try on.

The mall has a lot of different enthusiast running shoes - Royal Sporting House has the Saucony Endorphin Speed you were looking for previously. A lot of the latest shoes are available here including carbon plated ones like the asics metaracer and adizero pro.

If you're struggling to complete 1k i would recommend doing a couch to 5k programme. The whole idea behind such a programme is to get you used to running 5k or 30mins+ continously. Don't worry about zones - just take it easy and run+walk your way to 5k - 10min/km Is not a speed i would consider as running.

What the hell is a right and left betis? Running correctly nothing should hurt. A main cause of hurting knees is usually caused by people trying to run too fast and overstriding - although there can be many reasons.

I have this niggling discomfort to my right inner foot that doesn't go away for months. Normally it flares up after some km on a treadmill. I am looking for some supplements to aid my recovery but have no idea. I thought I can get some recommendations base on others experiences. Seems i have no luck.

Now I have another question, do you all recommend me to consult a Chiropractor or other specialists? Need to see the right ones.

All this while,
I have tried to get some answers from the YouTube channel. Learned a few physio therapy exercise which I did with some results. But its still bothering me therefore I think I should get some professional help before it's too late.

Thank you senior here!

See a real doctor - preferably a podiatrist. There is a lot of crap medical advice based on quack science on these forums in particular and there is not enough information to diagnose what you have based on the limited information you have given us is. It's like the story of the 3 blind men trying to describe an elephant.

No supplements will work. The best thing for healing connective tissue is sleep, rest and having a balanced diet.

Thank you for the advice. I think I will book an appointment.

Did you follow any running plan? Whats the mileage per week?

I have to say With hill training and interval training, I improved a lot

Try to download Nike Run Club apps and follow the training plan. Last time I shed 30minutes for PB haha.

Have fun with running. Do some drills too. See @runrx on instagram.

*Asking for opinion
Recently i did a 10K run and I found that my heart rate is consistently at Zone 5 w/ avg HR of 180. I dont feel particularly 'too tired' throughout the run but I'm wondering if it's bad if i keep train like this 2/3 times a wekk.

How old are you? How are your zones calculated? Is your Heart Rate monitor chest strap or wrist based? What's your mileage per week?

Whenever I hear about people running at 180bpm, my first reaction is that HRM is cadence locked - that means your HRM is confusing the number of steps you're taking a minute with your heart rate.

If your data can't be relied on there's nothing wrong with running by feel - and most running should be done at an easy pace.

I'm 33, using Garmin watch to track my HR. I guess my HR zones are calculated based on 220-age. I'm doing about 20-25km/week but not really consistent throughout the month.
Based on the data, my avg cadence is 172, somewhat closed to my avg HR. Do you mean that HRM from watch is not really accurate?

I seriously doubt your HR is averaging 180 on a 10k run especially at 33yrs (I'm not trying to make assumptions about your ability). IF I was 33 and I'm not - that would be higher than my LTHR and i would expect that HR for VO2max intervals. 95% of my max HR is damn tough...

My suspicion is that the HRM from your watch is not accurate - maybe the solution is that its not tight enough.

Got it. Will try to tighten up the next time i run and monitor. Thanks

Do update us the outcome.

What garmin model you are using?

My heart rate is high too even measured using chest strap hrm. So, there is a chance you are the same
