Depending on your feet bio-mechanics, then u choose the right shoe for yourself. In general in falls into the following category: 1) Neutral 2) Mild and Over Pronation and 3) Motion Control. Most runners falls under category 1 and 2. Saucony have models that catered for category 1 and 2. The best thing is for you to do a wet test first and I can take a look at your foot imprint to determine if you are normal or high arch, or even flat footed.

Added on April 13, 2009, 10:00 pmMy experience in NB trail shoes is its darn hard, not so flexible. But is cheap as you said. Salomon is definitely one of the best. IMHO i will not be penny wise pound foolish when buying a trail shoes. we need good grip, flexible and good cushioning in more rugged terrain.

125mins is acceptable lah. so no worries. the training is not abt whose first or last. the most important and inspiring moment is for everyone to start together and run our own pace. u will definitely find someone to pace with. no matter wat there is always fast and slow runners. just come and join us.

You sure can, and if you feel comfortable before the 2 months, just increase ur mileage gradually by 1k to 2k.

dont think KLCC had any registering counter. U can goto NB shop in Bkt Bintang Plaza and submit there. Look for Albert.

Everyone plus yourself can train for a 1/2 marathon. From the current 4.5k that you are running, try to increase the distance gradually. 1k to 2k will be just nice and stick to it for a 1-2 weeks until your body get use to it. Then do the same thing till u hit 10km. Stay at 10k for 1 to 2 months or even longer till u r comfortable running it. By now you can increase your next level to 15k and then 20k. You may experience muscle pain along the way. Dont worry too much as its normal bcos your muscle is strengthening. And hopefully by then you are ready to run a 1/2 marathon race.

Very important thing to remember is dont rush into it. Listen to your body, else you will easily injure yourself especially the heels, the knees and ankles.

Note: If you experience muscle pain and its not too serious, you can still run but lower mileage.

I dont think is Orange Run as it was last Sunday. If its in June most probably is the StanChart Marathon on June 28. But its only 2 months to train for a 1/2 marathon race and I think its a bit rush. You have not even do a 10k run before. Maybe instead of 21k, go and do the 10k run instead. That will give u an indication how well you had train for 2 months.

As for the muscle pain, just use some creams to rub on the affected part. As for me I normally go for a recovery drink (Endurox) to help ease muscle stiffness or soreness, and that is only when I run 25k and above.

We park at the Bukit Aman carpark in Lake Gdns....and nearer towards the public toilet. The 20k route from Bkt Aman will have a break at the Petronas station at Hartamas. And all of us do our refueling there. Just bring along some $$$ thats enuf for ur own drinks.

Added on April 17, 2009, 9:58 amTry to run in a group. That will give up better motivation vs running alone. Dont worry about the distance. Just run to your comfort level first. Else you can always adopt a run-walk technic in the beginning.

Lotsa of ppl think we are Siao Lang waking up so early on a weekend just to torture ourselves. But for runners like us its just a weekend routine. On a normal Sat/Sun, i wake up at 5am to prepare for my run at 6am. And If i am doing a 30k+, then i wake up even earlier like 4am as we normally start a long run at either 5am or 6am. To us its more tiring if we sleep late, awake late. The reverse is better.

Let me try and check for you. Need some insider help for this, no commitment. will update if they are willing to accept.

this Sat most of the runners will not as Bidor 1/2 marathon is on Sunday.

pls check message.

Wat shoe size (US) you are wearing?

welcome to the forum

i shud have Size M (white) and KP 1/2 mara you can goto NB shop @ Bkt Bintang Plaza, Gardens, 1 Utama, & Jusco Bkt Tinggi

Paiseh, i also forgot how u look like liao. 1st may I wont be at the Pacemakers Circuit Run 1. Maybe another Sat after that week.

chk this out http://klang-pacers.blogspot.com/2009/03/o...e-7th-june.html

Just start with 5k. If u oredi can do 5k, then increase it to either 7k or 8k. Try to run at least 3x a week. Stick to the distance for 1 to 2 weeks. Then move onto 10k for your weekend run.

From now on ur weekdays run shud be between 6k to 8k, while ur weekend run shud be 10k. Stay with this mileage for at least a month (2 months if needed) and then start to do a longer run on your weekend ie 12k or 13k. Just slowly condition your body so that you will allow it to adapt to the increase in mileage. Do not try to do short cut and increase mileage from 10k to 15k, as you may suffer from injury.

Follow this and you shud be able to increase your stamina and endurance.

Hi all,
Am back from my Mt Kinabalu trip. I guess I have missed quite a number of your posting. Anyway life starts all over again in the busy busy and stressfull Kuala Lumpur.

Yes, we have perfect weather and blue sky. Managed to get sunrise view at the summit too.
