Congrats to those who finished KUL Marathon yesterday !

Yeah man! Was so excited this morning for the "first run"... thought my muscles will still have the memory of running a few years back, so did a quick run after some simple stretching session...
bottom of my foot started to ache around 1.5km into the run, perhaps a little too intense for my feet after a long break, or could be the shoes

Guess my engine need to start a bit slowly after the super loooong years of break read somewhere when picking up running again, majority of the first few session had to be more on walking to get muscles back into the form and some short runs in between.

Yikes. Was going to suggest Skechers. A bit more affordable. Anyway, it's a personal preference.

Is there any recommendation for running shoes within RM200 nowadays? Seems like can't find any.

How about RM250 which I think is the best I can go for? Any recommendation across that price range?

I've got friends running with Kalenji shoes that you can buy from Decathlon at affordable price. You can also try looking out for good value shoes in Sports Direct (older stocks, value price). I personally find affordable Skechers shoes (Big Skechers fan here!) at their Mitsui outlet - their GORun models are good and discounted. Anyway, price should not be the benchmark for your performance.

How much gain achieved when running in those RM300++ shoes (above mentioned) compared to those ~RM60?

You are right.

You will feel it when you are ready to do more run later.

Be real careful & enjoy your run.

If you are doing more run. The 60 shoes will give you a lot of trouble later on.

You want to focus enjoying your run not trouble yourself with footwear.

For recreational run, its fine

hmm.. average running ~21km per week, trouble mentioned here is referring to injuries related to leg?

I.m old school..i run with puma cabana racer..rm100++
Flat, light and soft..i used to this design..
.
Can share what 60 shoes u using

Tia

Mainly injuries.

But there is other thing that will bother you like the shoe get hot (not enough ventilation), blister, not enough grip in several surface (low quality outsole), not enough cushions etc etc. Like i said it keep bothering you. Soon you will be thinking to get a better one. It's already a waste of money.

All this will lead to injuries if you run a lot or run hard actually.

I take it as consistent 21km every week. You better invest in properly designed shoes for running. 21km/week is enough to get you injuries unless you are experienced runner which mean you already have an efficient stride.

All the best for those joining coming weekend Penang bridge marathon !

Thank you. You not joining this race?

Tried

2am is not my kind of race

Wait for the annual Brooks warehouse sale. Earlier this year I got a Brooks Launch 2 for RM120. Yes it is a 2-year old model. Launch 4 is the latest model. But it doesn’t matter. The shoes are of good quality.

Launch 3 was selling RM150 or RM190 cannot remember during the HSN21 race pack collection recently in Puchong. This is a good pair of running shoe. Launch 4 was selling at RM 230/250 then

When was it held? Normally end year? I need one before end Dec.

I saw running lab yesterday at Pavillion, the cheapest also about RM450

Even Asics getting more expensive.

Yes, consistently, I have a tight budget, any recommended shoes for runner like me. Estimated the shoe can last for.

There is a lot of sales now as mentioned here. You can get a good running shoes with the price slightly over RM200 or even less.

Take note to this, are you overpronator, neutral, or underpronator? Do you have wide or narrow toe? What is your bmi? Have you experienced any injuries from running before?

A proper running shoes will last very long, unlike those RM60 shoes.
