im not alone

I trust the regular LYN runners

Wow. That's quite an achievement bro. I never run such distance. The farthest I can run is 15 km.

Nevertheless, congratulations and best of luck for your future runs.

I am doing LSD, but wanted to add some elevation to my routine. Mostly just running on flat ground

Me too, i run Putrajaya Night Marathon for my first FM. Finished in 5h25m, those flyovers n hills really draining me out

Hi all, i am a beginner runner 5k 2-3/weekdays and 10k/long run weekend. Training for HM next year. I cycle 20k for 2/week. Taking full rest days Mon and Thursdays (fasting).

Currently using a xiaomi sports bt headphones with a nokia 3310 for music and emergency purposes. I use a feature phone for outdoors activity since a previous smart phone fell in river (with its master) during jungle trekking.

I am bored with the nokia 3310 and looking to upgrade to possibly a lighter feature phone with mp3, bt, and microsd. I need it to be small, light, able to withstand sweat (sweaty tight pockets) and some splashes due to rain. My smart phone is an LG G6, which I seldom bring out for sports.

Any recommended feature phones? Thanks in advance.

for me train longer hours also will train the muscle to endure long running period, but of cause basic weekdays mileage must build up before you can attempt on the LSD
FM you need more than 40km per week , so you have some idea how to put into your weekly training.

if you have a car then everywhere is possible .. as i don't see any MRT/LRT lead to a good hill training ground

I have shin splints since 1 week ago. Cannot run at all and 42km is just 3 weeks away..Dayum!

Hello guys. Would like to ask about lightweight shoes for tempo speed training. Has anyone wear Hoka Tracer before? Is it a good investment or i should look for other brand & model instead?

All my current shoes are heavy shoes mainly use to log mile. Now i wanted to lower my fm time, thinking to invest in something that more suitable for a bit of speed training

there's a lot of shoes are suit for tempo speed training ..
what is your budget ?

Shin splints need more rest and light massage on the shin part will help reducing the pain .
i use this cream to temporary cure on the shin splints

What your recommendations for below 450? The less the better.

If you have a pair of neutral feet then these two shoe are good
Brooks Launch 4, Saucony Kinvara 8

Yes I have a neutral feet. Im running on supernova glide 8 at the moment. Do you think the kinvara 8 is a good rotation for speed training or go for launch 4?

Honestly, I am not exactly sure if mine is shin splints. It's around the calf muscle to ankle. It's worst upon waking up but goes away during the day

for me Kinvara 8 was good at everything
for training or into marathons .. price tag is pocket friendly, if you still able to get on kinvara 7 price might be interesting to own a pair
launch series was bit too stiff at the toe box area but shoe sole are lasting compared to kinvara 8

Shin Splints pain occur at the below pic

so you need to identified the area of pain to determine the injuries that you have there

me also finish 5h25minit..
last year 5h3minute

Thanks a lot for being helpful



for myself it usually in the inner side of leg like the left leg of the picture above. I have been out from running almost a year last time just because of this. Now I have been more careful every time i feel something in that part. Usually I will slow down my pace, take smaller stride, and gentle landing on every run it will go away eventually without putting me out from running.

Dear members,

I just started running recently (a beginner). Could you please recommend running groups for beginners that I can join/participate?

Much appreciated.
