Besides weekday running session, do one LSD, Long Slow Distance run at weekend, don't worry about the speed. This may improve your distance gradually.

I heard there's hamster loop around Puchong , what's about? where's exactly and when?

hi, i'm looking for a replacement for my Virrata 2.

Any recommendations that's similar to Virrata 2?

Disappointed with the demise of Virrata 2...

Perhaps you can try Merrell Bare Access?

Nope, everyone foot is difference and foot pronation, better test it yourself. Since you are looking for zero-drop , this could be close.

100K.....wanna to find a reliable headlamp

how much was your budget ?

Below RM200. I already search from net/FB, Black Diamond/Fenix (mid range) quite attractive, any comments about this two brands?

I saw from lazada, Energizer 150lumen is below RM70....... is it reliable?

I'm almost certain you can already achieve 20km. just sign up for a hm, you can do it.

I been to Cultra 100k and with my experience i can tell you , without 150lumens above specs headlight you most likely will get lost in the Berembun sections.. at that forest at night time was pitch black, so high lumens headlight will help you find your way out from there also to save your time to avoid going to the wrong junction
what i can recommend on the Black diamond were Spot & storm series and Fenix HL55

For energizer you can use it but be prepared to spare more battery in your pocket

Thank you very much for your information. I also talked to my Sabahan friend just now and he did point out the same issue, he recommended me to get at least 200 lumen.

I saw my FB fren : Choi CC, promotion for black diamond cosmo (160lumen), and Sam Law Fenix HL15. I think I need to revise my budget for higher lumen headlamp.

actually you need to put in the considerations of the battery life as well .

looking at the both headlights specs i feel that Black Diamond Cosmo can give you a long hour usage compared to Fenix HL15 as fenix only holds 2 x AAA battery while Cosmo needs 3 x AAA which more lasting usage.
Anyhow be ready more battery as you may start at early as 3:45am so running in the dark most likely will kill alot of battery tho.

So for this... it can be really super slow but as long as go super distance? Hmm.. I never think of this before... I also trying now to increase from 5km to 8km now ...

Hmm.. not too much too soon to prevent unnecessary injury, 10% increment (conservative) as many have said. You know your body better.

You can start off with weekend LSD 10km since you have run 8km , try weekly LSD run for a month, then following month increase LSD to 12-15km; subsequent month - 15-18km , and so forth. If can't progress to the distance, maintain the same LSD distance for a month. No hurry, knowing your body well and you will be there at 21km sooner or later.

Thank you again for your input, I will spare batteries into my backpack.
Just bought 8+4 Energizer battery for this coming event.

so have you bought your headlights ?

If you haven't buy then i got good offer to offer you ... 200lumens Black Diamond Spot only RM155 with free shipping ..
