something like this ?

Agree looping the waterfront till bored I think I tried the stretch in front of the church (based on google maps) few months ago and there is this burning smell there so I avoid that part afterwards. Have you experience that during your run before? If not, maybe will try your route next time.

maybe beside church got bangla burning stuff ? haha
so far so good running at night was bit cooling at that path

My shin splint is still very bad. Will forgo my PBIM next weekend. Anyone interested in taking my place can pm me (42km)

Hi runners, need some recommendation on running shoes.

I haven't been running for a few years now after my 2 kids were born. Even in my earlier days, I was just running around 10-12 km a week.
Recently there was a 3km fun run which my whole family took part, including my kids. They had a good time running, and I see some potential in my eldest. Hence thought of re-starting my running engine. Bad news was during that 3km run, my shoes broke (not the first time). I think it was the first generation Mizuno Wave Prophecy, back then it was quite pricy, but I liked the "bounce" effect it had. Now the plastics of the sole is broken, and I don't think its fixable. And since it has been more than 5 years old (mostly on the shelf), I think it's time to get a new pair of shoes.

Naturally, I looked up the newer versions of the Mizuno Wave Prophecy... and it cost 4 figures, and the reviews were not as good.

So I cam across this site that rates Running shoes based on consumer reviews (https://runrepeat.com/ Not sure if the reviews can be trusted?

This time round I have a little lesser budget, Domestic Finance Minister had only granted a fund of RM 500
Going through the site, here are some of the ones I'm interested:

1. Brookes Ghost 10 - cost a bit over RM 500, but has some good reviews. haven't tried it yet.
2. Pegasus 34 - Within budget. Had a good feel when I tried them on at Nike.
3. UA Charged Bandit 3 - cost a bit over RM 500, had a good feel when I tried them on at UA. Didn't run much with it though (cos my preferred color no size).
4. NB Fresh Foam Cruz - Saw these at NB, didn't try them out, but only cost RM 280 after discount. Promoter said its running shoe, but looks more like the Adidas NMDs type of daily shoes. RunRepeat did categorize them as running shoes as well tempted to get these cos they are cheaper and looks nice.
5. NB Vazee Rush 2 - Not available in Malaysia yet, perhaps next month.

Or are there any other recommendations? I would only be using them for daily running less than 5km (at least for the next 1 year), neutral arch, would prefer something with "energy return" aka boost kinda feel to it, for beginners

go find brooks voucher. get extra discount RM180.
heard SAUCONY new everun midsole feels like adidas boost. but i never try them.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Brooks voucher there are 2 from what I can google... RM 180 rebate is only for selected types (excluding Ghosts). The other one is for RM 160 also mentions selected international shoes > Rm 400.. so will need to call up to ask.

Anyone has the RM 160 voucher to let go in Klang valley?

On the Saucony, I think the Freedom ISO has the everun soles, might give it a try if I see them on the shelf.

My advise try go visit Key Power as they have year end sales for now

Thanks, will check them out this weekend.

actually most saucony shoes got everun now. it is a thin layer under the insole. but only Freedom ISO is 100% everun midsole.

I have the voucher. I can just give it to you. I won't need it anyway.

Hi all, thanks for the generous offer. I've actually received multiple PMs on the free voucher, this is good proof that people here are really generous kudos!
However, I have not tried on Brooks shoes yet, so not sure if they are what I'm looking for yet. On another note, Key Power has up to 30% sales on Brooks, which is calculated to more or less RM 160 discount as well for a pair of Brooks Ghost 10. So will try them out first, hopefully this weekend.

In the meantime, I've tried out Saucony Freedom ISO, Pegasus 34, Adidas Supernova, NB Fresh Foam Cruz, and ON Cloudflow today

And I tend to lean toward ON Cloudflow for their CouldTec (kinda similar to my old Mizuno Prophecy), and I love the energy return it gives and the lightweight of that shoe. Anyone has any feedback/experience on this ON shoe?

Unfortunately, the price seems to be on the higher side, can get it slightly under RM 500 if I manage to get 2 other items at Running Lab. Yet to try Brook's Ghost 10, so let's see how they compare.

I have been using CloudFlow on and off since Sept. Very comfortable and got a 'bounce' to the step.
You are right about the weight, much lighter than the other shoes that i have.
The shoe might not last you a few years, depending on your mileage.
I have done bout 100+ km in it, can already see some wearing on the sole.
Maybe my running style ?? Not sure bout this.

I got it for 500+ during a 20% sale from Running Lab.

Hi everyone,

Anyone going to Penang Bridge Marathon next week?
I would like to ask any male want to trade their HM for my FM?

Decided on the ON Cloudflow, together with wife so we each got a pair!
Manage to get it at RM 495 based on the 20% from running lab as well.

Hi, is there any good sports shops around Putrajaya/Subang Jaya/Shah Alam that have promotion on Asics running shoes?

Now you can run more...

Great , still within your budget too ..
Run on Cloud feeling yo

In Penang, there is a store-wide 20% on Asics outlet.
