I am in my 40s, but I have ruled out osteoarthritis, as the pain lessen by a lot when I changed my trainers to more branded ones. Ones that are intended for running (Previously, I was using those casual, buy-at-random) that are meant for casual wear

The color usually can be indicative of the batch.
Each batch usually have some differences.

For what it's worth I have attached the soles which I shoes that I have access in my house lol
Arranged it by how the width fit into my widest part of my foot; I have blob like footshape which widest part is in the middle; so YMMV.

Asics GT2000 3 4E > Puma Deviate Nitro2 > Rebook Floadride 3 > New balance 880v11 4E > Saucony Guide 15 Woman Wide (should be D; same like male) > Asics GT 1000 9 GS Kids version > Hoka Bondi X > Weinbrenner (free from bata) > Adios 5 > online insole

Surprisingly the width of deviate nitro 2 was almost as wide as my personal all time favorite shoes: Asics GT 2000 4E which also the widest shoes I had access that time.
Maybe I am just lucky to get the wide version of the Deviate Nitro 2?

Adidas adios 5 have very strange shape; which no wonder rubs the bottom of my feet.
The last one was trying to get insole online, intentionally getting oversized but it just longer not wider, unfortunately.

As you mentioned could be slipping, whether on the heel or on the midfoot.

For Deviate Nitro 2 I always use runners knot and have to skip the first lace hole, because that's the part where my foot is the widest. Same goes with most normal D sized shoes.

Out of curiosity. when getting black toes, did you run on slope / downhill?

Flat road.

Anybody knows any photographer pages for the recent Merapoh Rainforest Trail run?

shutter sports

Just that one?

hey guys like to ask where can get the new balance minimus shoes? It used to be in our market years ago but i found none nowadays.

Like to use it for training due to the flat and minimal sole

Was all set to go for my first ever official run - Black Rose Semi Marathon at MATRADE.
Collected race pack yesterday (15 Jul) afternoon.

Showed up this morning at 3am and the guard told me event postponed and to check Facebook.
They announced on Facebook at 8pm or so last night that event was postponed - no email or SMS.

For 4am flag-off, I would think most participants would be sleeping or resting at that time to prep and try to be fresh.
And not everyone checks Facebook all day everyday.

They even sent a mail couple of days ago requesting for donation to support under-privileged kids to join the run.
Yet no email was sent about this postponement.
What a massive disappointment and anti-climax for my debut run.

Luckily I live in KL so didn't have to travel too far.
And it's also just a practice run for my upcoming marathon, so I just went out and did my own run instead.
But it's highly irresponsible of the organisers and they are only willing to refund a portion of the registration fees (some said 30% but I haven't verified).

It's unlikely I'll ever participate in any future events by Black Rose.
Sharing so others are aware.

Bro, many ppl have hv made a police report on this organiser already, perhaps you wanna make one too. You can chk the comments on their FB page.

hi all, I am looking at 2XU compression tights.. any idea what is the difference between their Force Compression and Light Speed Compression ? They both seems to belong to the MCS compression type

I shared the sentiment as currently most running are high stacked.
For the minimalist shoes now I am using cheap Chinese water sport shoes bough online from Lazada.

Hope I posted in the right place.

I used to jog and run a lot in my younger days. Doing so in my adulthood now, my knee kinda hurt.

The question is, does running or jogging damage knee? Or it's some other factors?

Knee must expose under the sun for better recovery. Long hours of jogging doesn't strengthening the knees, it make balls/Uterus sagging

Balls drops too low, will effect male s hormone
Male's hormone levels drops, will lose all muscles
Small muscles can't grow big anymore

Study said, he is a No.1 runner

wow first time hearing about the balls story

I do admit sometimes I will go commando

But for such (hardcore) exercise, need to prepare myself more

Thanks for the input!

Hey guys,

Recently I do some running with smart watches for tracking purpose (with GPS).

I noticed my hand wrist feels tingling sensation whenever I enable the tracking.
Anyone feel the same as well and how to alleviate it?

only for that one particular arm or did you try switching the watch to another arm to see if there's similar effects?

Only tested on one arm, not used to the other side.

I think the GPS radiowave is quite strong, too much for my body to take

Just want to see if anyone else faces the same case and if there is any method to alleviate it.

GPS wave very low, is kryptonite magnet make u feels tingling sensation
