guys, currently i'm following a training plan and i need to do speedwork (8x400m, 9x400m and so on in 5k pace). i don't really understand how should i carry out this workout. do i need to run 400m, rest, and run again? or just run 8x400m (3.2km) non-stop?

It mean ask you to run at faster pace for 400m and then run at slower pace for certain time or until you recover and repeat it 8 times.

Hi guys,

Please suggest a good beginner level of running watch? Medium budget around rm4 to 6 hundreds, if possible to install few running music too.

Browse on9 and found out tomtom spark fill my request, but i need to hear from running pro here.

And if it make any different, im buying it for my wife.

Tq....

i see. for example, run 400m at fast pace, then run like 200m slow pace for recovery then do the next rep. correct?

Have u tried compression top? Meaning do away with the bra and wear running tee outside the compression top.

Correct.

thank you very much for the info bro

Looks like Nike Free RN OC to me...

Zoom Victory Elite is track shoes

Tomtom spark with music rm1k++ bro

I do have a pair of Asics Patriod 7. which i retired after a few months using it back in 2015
to me, don't just go for looks. try to read around on those shoes. plus, u should know your foot/Arch type.

a Neutral Pronator
b Over Pronator
c Under Pronator (Supinator)

Garmin used to have a budget GPS watch for beginner but sadly already stopped productions.

The cheapest GPS in the market for now will be Polar M200 Fitness GPS sport watch but no build-in music player
Price about Rm739 at www.bigbigplace.com

I think I might pass on the Adidas ones.. The outsoles look like I'll slip on a rainy day..

Dunno what's my pronation so I guess I'll go for one of the Asics.. Will be trying them out this Friday..

i do feel "proper" running shoes should be at least RM400++ @ USD100++ and mesti ade review at Runnersworld.
never try all those model. i usually buy last year model with discount.

some people are on a budget

ADIDAS Men´s Supernova Glide Boost 7 Running Shoes (B33384) Discounted Price would be around RM 241.00 ce usha..

haha.. not prepared to fork out that much yet... 1. i'm a poor college student 2. just started from a couch potato... no running experiences previously or whatsoever..

o.O where to find these on a discount? i went to sportsdirect in midvalley.. dont recall that model.. need to look for them in warehouse sales?

Still using this. Very good shoe for me.

You may try Themarathon shop at Sunway pyramid or Lot 10 they would like plenty of good choices running shoes at great price tag

hmm... cool.. there's a sale running on as well. i guess i'll check it out this friday thanks for enlightening me guys!

Yup, actually i can raise it till rm1.5k, but still looking for a medium budget watch

If tomtom spark review is good enough, might justgo for it, if i have no other option.


Any personal review for that particular model?

Need to ask my wife if the music part is really necessary

I am looking for an upgrade from my faithful Garmin 310XT, main reason is the need of HRM. Originally I was thinking of the Garmin Premium HRM strap but after some researches, surprisingly know that Optical HRM has already matured and several new GPS watches with Optical HRM have came out.

As my budget is sub 1000, I narrowed down to Forerunner 35 vs Polar M200.

It seems like Polar is the bang for buck. Although there's many reviews, I dont see much forumers discuss about it. May I know if it's worth to get?

Seriously tempting!

p/s: and yeah, chest strap is annoying (I used a few times during my Suunto era many years back, and don't quite like it. So since now there's matured wrist HRM option, may as well go for that - I can live with the slightly reading offset for the comfort!)
