I bought my running shoes at Al-Ikhsan Alamanda Putrajaya only.

I did not do sub4 like you la, but my training for my FM also is not as powerful as the rest here
I manage to sub5, and personally (and this is a personal opinion) all I did was make sure I train for endurance. FM is an endurance test. You maintain a pace of 7mins per km in your training, then you should be able to do sub5. And my training is usually between 8-10km, 3 times a week (on lazy weeks, only twice haha).

But nowadays I don't run FM anymore. I cannot take the never-ending tarmac

after every 10km. so it pretty much means, ONE.

but if you didn't take before, why you wanna take now? no need laa...

Will go over al ikhsan this weekend to check them out

Thanks. Valuable info

speedwork on weekday... 8x400m or 8x800m
lsd on weekend... 15~20km

i only run twice a week, or the most is 3 times...

but recently less join race and my training also become lesser...

I still unable to do sub4 yet but should be doable next year. (hopefully)
Maintaining at 7min per km is about discipline and self control, i did my 1st sub 5 2 years ago, maintaining at 7 min pace from KM1 till finish. Holding the urge to run faster at the beginning to prevent burn out later.

Nowadays, I prefer trail more than road...

Good luck in finding your new running shoes.

Are you from Putrajaya/Cyberjaya/Bangi area ?

If so, where do you normally go out for a morning run ?

km/pace: 1km/5.16, 5km/5.38, second 5km/6.02, third 5km/6.50 (at 13km pace 7.37) from 10 to 15km up hills,, after that many slow jog, walking, play handphone

No la im in SS2. I usually run around my neighborhood only

Oh, okay. I thought you're staying in either of those areas.

How's the running track in your place ? Which spot can I go for a run over there ?

Theres a taman behind my house but its not that big. I just run in circles or if im lazy to walk over to the taman, i'll just run along the roads

That just too fast for sub 5. Maybe you target much lower then that. The 1st km tells you are in the front of the line.

I always have trouble to get front spot on the start line causing lot of lose time. Not dare to go to the front as im slow. 10k pb barely sub 50 min

Nice shoe. May i know what puma's model you wore before?

Thinking of getting the speed 500 ignite in 1 of my rotation as it really cheap to get now. I need a slightly lighter shoe, would you recommend?

i usually start at back and side area,,which is easy to cross ppl,,i rarely stick at crowded one,,,1 km just sprint to cross as much ppl and far from crowded group of runner,,,next time will control the urge to run fast the in the beningging...

I wore Puma Faas 300 V3 before. The Speed 500 Ignite is not bad too. I saw the red and black one and the price is RM2++ in Al-Ikhsan.

I wear Asics now. It's slightly expensive but it's worth it. It's extremely comfortable and I'm loving it.

Are you currently wearing Puma running shoes ?

I wore Adidas & NB. Looking for lightweight shoes rotation.

They said Asics are the best running shoes.

I think it's already proven.

According to this site RunRepeat, shoes with the top run scores are from Adidas, Brooks, UA, Nike and Ultra.
That is all from experts and customer's feedbacks though.

I don't trust their shoe score.

Just look at the shoes listed. It's a joke..
