as in run without bib no.

Did Octagon said that? Take a look here... there were so many mothers bringing their strollers out into the finishing path (the area at the end of Jln TAR).. that they are become road hazards to the marathoners who are running towards the finishing line.. 

Look at this poor runner trying to squeeze between a "walking" finisher and the strollers!!

i used to wear shorts and run for donkey years.  abt 3 years ago i switch to tights.  i felt that it absorb sweat better and dont soak my shoe too early in a race.  i will probably be trying out 2XU compression knee length tights once i get hold of it.

Shah, depending on wat tights u looking for and some of ur Q were being answered.  Compression tights are totally different from normal ones (and for obvious reasons cost more).  They are supposed to increase proper blood circulation during runs and hence reduce the build up of lactic acid which can results in cramps.

Shahwan, why don't you get 3/4 sports pants? Bought them a few years back, and I can assure you they didn't cost more than RM50 (after discount) a pair on sale at RSH.

Er bro, you didnt tell us where you are from? LOL

hw do u normally come to LG then?

Hey guys I'm new here. Wishing to join this runnerz thread. 

Anyway, I've started running yesterday, it was VERY hard! Consider that It's after 3 months of not doing any running.

Btw I think I've only just ran 3 laps which is 600m only + 2 laps of walking to cooldown and warm up.

When do you think I can run up to 8km straight if I train consistently?

Let's say I do 4-5 days or running per week? 

Cheers.
