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

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!)

just now i help my friend bought a pair of saucony kinvara 6 UK 7.5 with 60% discount due to off season shoes at KLCC stadium

Saucony offer

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?

I have Polar RCX5, yes it's bang for buck too.

Now I own Garmin VivoSmart HR+ and I'm enjoy it more than my Polar as it can auto sync to starva which Polar can't last time. Hope they can now. Ya, all new Garmin model uses optional sensor!

There is reason why almost everyone here uses Garmin, ops... There are some Sunnto users here...

One more is Polar customer service is not strong as Garmin. Previously Polar Malaysia distributor closed down all service need send to SG, not sure now got new distributor appointed o not.

Can't view the link bro..

Looks like Nike Free RN OC to me...

Zoom Victory Elite is track shoes

Thanks for the information. DavisStore is selling only RM672 for this, 40% cheaper than 35 (RM990)!

Any fault needs to sent back to DavisStore - that may be the downside if Polar service center is not available in Malaysia....

Well my 310xt still using Ant+ stick transfer, so I am ok with the lack of auto sync etc, lol

Before you proceed with Davis, perhaps you need to check his reputation in LYN forum .. just my 2cent

i'm going to check out marathonshop sales and rsh for saucony this week 
oh...found their fb page already. looks like there are promotions for other saucony models as well.

how much was the kinvara 6?

sound like scary story!

if tape 1 layer no confidence, tape 2 layers then!

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

serious bro. one ultramarathoner woman sugges to her not need to wear bra and just wear compression top,. so she did that for her CULTRA.
end of the race, basuh compression top keluar warna merah..badan all calar balar.
what you mean by-do away? do without bra or with bra?
please dont suggest to me don't wear bra 

i did run with my mizuno..but it is just base layer since i need the uv protection.
i try to minimize everything.
after long break i will try run for my first full marathon.
last time ran for my HM 2015 haha.
now try getting back the ideal weight back and fitness level too.

i bought my ambit3 peak sapphire with him last year. and few things with him few years ago too.
his price is quite competitive but you have to bear with his attitude.
make sure you do all your homework before purchasing things from him, as he wont entertain your questions at all.

Meaning going braless. Compression top and the the outer running t on the outside.

How long have this issue troubles you? Since the beginning?

I had problem with chaffed nipple last time. Tried vaseline la, body glide la still painful albeit not as painful as before. Now am wearing the compression top and no more issue. Maybe ladies issue is different compared to guys.

i think can put on petroleum jelly around the strap to avoid the chaffing, can try it for LSD to see it helps or not

petroleum jelly?never know this item..i will try your suggestion. hope i can get a solution for this matter..
if not ok, maybe can just go with short distance then.... 

is vaseline you may need it .. or at sport shop just look for body glide
