Frank and another of his mate hv been doing full marathons on Sats ..

me tomolo start at 6am ..
maybe having another fren or two coming over..

anyone know of a 10k in Sunshine / Bayan baru area this weekend?

I started to train myself for the stanChart run in June. Normally I just run for 30 minutes on treadmill, but today I run for 52 minutes. The total distance that I had completed is 7.45KM... Then I feel quite tired.

I started worry whether I can finish 10KM with the time limit of 90minutes... All the experts here, what do you think?

the shoe is great. GTS9 gives me a good fit and hold my feet firmly (for supinator). Been running 4-6-8k....still damn new. I am only a hamster runner (i.e. on treadmill)...yet to see the real world.

I cant tell. I dunnoe how to differentiate.....tell me how to 'feel' the brokening. I have clocked 70-80km on the shoes already.

devil/triple/cube/navil/marvin/etc. - let say, we are doing normal 10k run, do we land on the heel OR land flat on the shoe?

what is the lifespan of your shoe? I read in phoenix blog that he only decided to retire his Nike sumthing after like close to 800km.....

not so good luck in bidor run.. stayed at the hall for the night, really don't have a good sleep coz of the hard surface.. before run stomach stirring, wanted to go toilet but the queue is longer than waiting bus so no choice had to run in deep sh*t.. literally..

after ran, get the medal and cert and gift pack, but when put aside on the corridor and go car took something, my medal and cert and gift pack gone damm my first 21km and no medal.. sien

the only good news is that managed to clock about 2hr10min in the run, beyond my expectation, given my target about 2hr30min and lack of sleep... and given the damm hilly route going towards the waterfall...

sorry i am quite new to running, can i actually ask how do you breath when you run? through your mouth or nose or both? both on exhaling and inhaling.

I am not sure if it is posted before, just started to run recently

wont you feel very dry throat from inhaling and exhaling too much?

srsly i didn't expect that time.. i managed to run first 7km non-stop which is my best achievement.. awesome i stopped a lot along the run.. i saw no one stopped.. man i also don't want lose face so force to run run run...haha..
next run is nb 15km.. next 21km are klang and stanchart.. i'm aiming high for stanchart.. can i break the impossible <2h mark?

I just found that the qualifying time for 10KM run in KOTR is 50 minutes! I doubt I can finish it within this time...

Well, yeah, the 10K route I'm doing now near my home includes some good climbs, there's one about 400m long & at about 8-9% incline I reckoned. & the 5K route I'm doing in Putrajaya is a rolling terrain, near Wisma Putra there. & I'm doing some hillsprints as well, heard that the PACM NB route is quite hilly...

I watched the London Marathon repeat yesterday, boy, Sammy Wanjiru... towards the end, like mile 24-25, he was still doing 4:50/mile pace. Damn !!

This is a question to all you guys doing runs of 20km+/day.....

What's your diet like? You take in lots of carbs?
What's your estimated daily calorie intake?

well..i asked this ques before
and was answered at that time by phoenix "It is not recomended"
reason being when you do your LSD it is a relatively longer distance then your usual training so give ur muscles rest; at least a day before your LSD
it is nt too say nt possible as sometimes i do it because some days me nt free to run so no choice end up running on the day before me LSD..
sometimes i do 10km, sometimes 12km, 14km...
i do suppose HOWEVER if u hv been resting 2 days before then u run fri, then LSD sat..it is nt too bad...
BUT like me if it is a tues, thurs, fri then LSD on Sat or Wed, Thurs, Fri then LSD on sat..ur legs would definitely feel fatigue..i knw mine did
hence nw i try to put make fri a rest day before me LSD..no point running if your form is crap

if u feel good on a friday, there is no harm doing a short run b4 the LSD on the next day.  I normally do that.  doesnt really affect my performance on LSD day.

no worries
no la..seldom edi la unless work schdule is hectic..
i dun 1 2 feel like crap when i m doing me LSD..

aiks y training going into overdrive?

keke ..
i knw u wun b the oni 1..

i wish u all g.luck ..no running for me tomorrow..mother dun let
she say MUZ celebrate with her

o btw..in regards to me injury and too anyone else who is experiencing something similar especially in the hamstring department, here is an interesting article

May I know who posted a comment in my running blog under the name Anonymous in my "Fighting A Losing Battle" entry? Thank you for identifying yourself.

Updates on Polar watches

I went to the official distributor for Polar watches yest (yes there is an official distributor unlike what was stated by Davis) and was told this;

1. The new FT series is nt replacing the RS, RS -SD model
2. Via this shop/ official distributor purchases can be made for any polar watches
    available on the official polar website

3. Support/ troubleshooting is also provided for all watches so long as they are available on the official polar website

Thank you Phoenix for correcting me

Ps. To all the runners in this thread I just want to inform you guys that if you need my help in purchasing or sending your watches for a repair
plz let me knw as the place is kinda dwn the road for me, at no extra costs of course.

I do have a Casio 2984 model which can measure too. Its got a build in accelerator sensor to measure the distance and pace but unfortunately i don't have the manual. So don't how to use it.

BTW tomorrow who will be running at 5.30 AM?

Bad for me...really bad. My cramps was the worst one ever experienced so far.

I couldn't move, quickly sat down. Basket no one stopped to help even though they ran by but Thank God, 1 good Samaritan helped me (the foot bending thingy).

Both my legs......my calves just went inwards like a pond...or whatever u describe it. f***ing painful. That was just like 100 meters before the finishing funnel.

The photographer, Jason Lee came over to take our pictures    "Relax relax, smile....relax awhile..don't worry almost finishing *clicks camera* "

I made my way slowly towards the line with that guy and of course, lari sikit sikit for the finishing pose. 
So my question is, how to overcome cramps? Training? 1 Uncle said take 2 bananas before the run because potassium helps us to be able to run longer.
