Heard if using something with rubber soles like Salomon Speedcross on the road, the soles will wear out very quickly. Going for hybrids like Hoka One One Challenger might work best. I've got Asics Venture 6 and it seems to work fine on road too.

ooohhh orsm! which category u take?

im so sad i have to cancel my year end 70km MUTF because it clash with Spartan.

have to resume my ultra journey next year 

hello guys, wonder if this is the place i seek for opinion on gps watch. Am doing more hiking/trekking than road running actually.

My budget is sub 1.5k
-GPS batt life up to 24hour is more than sufficient. More than dayhike means multi-day with camp allowing me to charge it back in the evening
-Map feature is quite needed
-HR tracker will be optional, weather feature optional but good to have as well
-Android compatible

Am eyeing some models on Suunto too. Especially statistics provided by Movescount is very useful for me

Ambit3 Peak seem to be all rounder just nice, just lacking valencell wrist heart rate sensor of which Spartan Trainer/Sport has.

Anyway how long does the charging takes up to ?

anyone going Buff trail run? how do i prepare for trail run? my first time trail, dont know what to expect.

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.

just every week run 5K on weekends at park. normal running shoes can run trail too right? i guess i can continue jog to train stamina? 

guys lately i start to feel minor pain in my right knees when running.

it's not too serious but i worry it might turn worse in the future. i noticed i have this when i start to increase my pace, from average of 8 min/km to gradually lower it down to 6 min/km.

more recently i tried landing more on my forefoot to minimize direct impact to the knees and it helped a little bit. but now i start to feel pain on my shins while the knee pain still come up every now and then.

just wondering you guys' experience with such injuries and how you deal with it. will it simply go away after a while? should i ease back on the pace or alternate between intense and relaxed session? eat more calcium?

usually i run twice a day on morning and evening for about 3km each session from monday to friday. i generally try to push for a better pace each session.

any tips will be appreciated!

hopefully will adapt. because i have a friend who ady retired because his doc said his knees are busted ady and need to stop. so im a bit scared i'll end up like him lol. also this knee thing has been going on for weeks ady and altho nothing severe i dunno if have long term effect.

for now i slow down a bit and do heel strikes and it does feel better. i try to improve the pace using that form and managed to maintain a 7-ish pace. paid a bit extra attention in "soft landings" on the heel and rolling it forward especially when going up and down curbs. for me the point is experimenting with different forms to find which feels right. when i go about not thinking of forms i ended up using the forefeet and that's when the problem starts. if i use back midfoot strike im comfy with when i was using my previous shoes i'll hurt my midfoot section. hence, going heel strike for now.

anyone here familiar with trail running?
berminat nak join trail running tapi stamina sama ke dengan road running?

yeah but it's not easy changing shoes everytime lol. im thinking of getting a pair of trainers, prolly brooks ravenna for daily runs and save the current one for events. maybe next month. so sad my fav pureconnect is discontinued ady 

tula. baru nk berjinak-jinak. selalu hiking takde pace,jalan je.

well said boss, need to deal with pacat also. rule of thumb 10km on road timing will be doubled when doing trail

Hobby hiking stay bermalam. 2-5 hari.join member utk complete G7 katanya .trip santai

Guys. I never run trails (not even in training). For total beginner like me which trail events in Malaysia u all recommend. Maybe try next year

I'm also suffering from muscle pain in both legs(one month already and probably need another month to rest) after jogging few times a week with sprints session.

Taking medicine to help reduce the pain. Now walking or standing still pain also

I'm thinking to get new running shoes.
Adidas supernova boost or
Nike air zoom span

What do you guys think?

Usually doctor only advice to rest more and let it heal by itself over time.
the medicine given was just painkiller that stop the pain temporary.

I think I over exercise...127km including walking and I also did jumping jacks, sprints and futsal in one month. Rookie numbers for you guys but for unfit guy like me probably too much my body can handle.

My current running shoes is from 2013 with minimal cushioning.

New shoes is for my running and also I'm traveling soon and will walk a lot.

Thanks.
Went to see doc and was given pain killers.
Suspected Achilles tendon tear. Besides surgery what else can be done?
Anyone experienced this? Online, not much info besides rice method, pain killers and surgery
