Did 2:39 for my VHM at SCKLM last weekend. The last few KMs with killer slopes was tough.

There is this pain near the start of the big toe on my right foot every time I run 10km or more. Shoe problem?

Hmm... Will go back home and check tonight. My Kinvara 6 got quite a roomy toe box though. Hopefully is nothing serious so I can start running back next week.

Edit:
Shoe have enough room. I think I said it wrongly. It is actually here that pains.

I do over-pronate and my left foot over over-pronates according to the uncle at the running lab tropicana city mall

Will try to run to night to see if it still hurts. Finger crossed.

Wow. That is pretty bad. Can fight with that badly organized Energizer Night Run 2011 (I think)

The weirdest thing happen after my PNM half marathon run. My left foot plantar fasciitis healed after the run. Is that even possible?

If that's the case, need to add more bukit training since I usually just run the DPC loop around the waterfront. Gonna venture up to the higher part of DPC then.

Yea, the PNM HM route is a torture fest of going up, then down and a bit flat before going up again.

Nice!

Wah! Elite efficient runner.

Just checked my shoes. Around 450km, my Kinvara left shoe already ini macam. Surprisingly, the right shoe is still quite ok. Probably the cause of my plantar fascia problem. Sifu sifu sekalian, boleh help analyze my shoe wear pattern.

Attached thumbnail(s)

Mostly asphalt and concrete? (not sure what kind of surface those walkway are ). Same same with me where my left shoe always wears out way faster than the right shoe. Maybe my left leg get tired earlier and my running form out of whack afterwards. Anyway, bought Skechers GoRun4 to replace my Kinvara. Initial impression is that the it weights much lighter and cushioning also lesser and also don't think can last anyway near the Kinvaras.

You can ask for analysis at the Running Lab in Tropicana City Mall.

10km run is not a marathon.

PJ can try Taman Lembah Kiara in TTDI. For other location or road route, need to wait all the sifu sifu here to reply.

And there is another option to choose. The cheaper new Garmin fr35

Will the lack of GLONASS affect the accuracy of the GPS? Also is Garmin Connect IQ that good to not miss it?

Ran too excited yesterday at a faster than my usual pace and KOed before half way through my usual distance LOL

Go try a pair of shoes recommended and go let me consider my options

Go to a shop and try and feel which suit your feet the most as each revision usually will have some changes that might or might not work for you. The Running Lab at Tropicana City Mall have a treadmill you can test run with the shoe.

10 days to SCKLM.

Just recovered from shin splint and under train. Luckily only running half marathon. Hopefully it won't come back and haunt me again during
the run

Lots of foam rolling and stretching. Extra advise need to wait sifu to reply dy.

Take extra care not to develop into something serious.

Not sure. It might help as a temporary fix but not on long term. Best to form roll and stretch if tight calves muscle is the cause IMO.

All the best to all SCKLM runners tomorrow!

I better go and get some sleep now

I think can MRT to TTDI and run up bukit kiara maybe? Is it still open?

Those elite marathoners have that kind of body because of the way they train and also because having a bigger heavier muscle mass is a disadvantage for them.

I'm also targeting my first full marathon next year during SCKLM. Register first regret later?

Near my place, but they run too early. So I usually just run alone

I just loop the waterfront 2.2km only. Sometime cover Arkadia area. Need more hill training but the run up Park City Heights is hellish

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.
