ooo the seremban 1/2 is this weekend. seremban very far le...imagining waking up so early just to get there.

most likely will phantom the mcd as its like a preview to the siemens. see how la. if can find kaki i dun mind geh.

Honestly Newton's running techinique just another marketing ploy..in the end it what you want and what you can afford, Newton's has a slightly elevated base on the forefoot that helps forefoot strike but yes you have to pay for it...personally I've tried it and nearly got it but thought better keep the money to get a Garmin,

Which brings me to the Garmins...heard lots of bad reviews about Garmin 405 compared to 305 where the bezel has some touch sensetivity issue's..Digital Mall in PJ quoted me ard 1.7k without HRM and 1.2k for 305 without HRM, probably get it in Sim Lim Sq this year end i was quote RM 1.4 without the HRM monitor

btw Metalfreak saw your new Nike's in the Fatso thread..hows it??

Not too bad. but only a short run la..about 5KM.

the cushioning seems nice..especially the forefeet,..can feel it cushioning upon landing..may be because its still new..Alittle springy feeling..just alittle. Heel strike is also being cushioned....hence that design macam layers.

I will try to run more to get a better review. I am using it for my McD run. but..the colour abit ah beng ish...black and super bright orange

Dia ckp dia sudah buat

Well, either staying over or ya.. drive there in the morning

well u cud say so but then again newtons are realli for ppl hu are ALREADY forefoot runners.. this is so as if u dun already run like dat and want to change your running style, your calves are realli going to hurt (i tink ccube mentioned this to me as he has tried these shoes before and will b a distributor of this brand soon) can u imagine 21km or 42km on your forefoot?

this method of running hwever without a doubt helps u run faster (just like sprinters?) and judging base on the elites who wear newtons during international races..

Garmins? hehe check with ccube and marvinct for that

if u decided 2 buy a NEWTON, let me know. Am selling it now.

As for Garmin, just buy the 305. i do hear runners experience those problems u mentioned in 405. i personally uses a 205 for the last 1.5 years, perfectly OK.

lol..he only posted his shoe picture la haha.

cool...the color seems not too bright from the pics..but do u get to keep them?


yeah you're probably rite...running forefoot for 21km damn..unless as you said you're a forefoot striker naturally...wah u driving early morning to Seremban so commited! good luck on the Seremban run man!

wah ccube bringing in Newtons also? hebat! tried the shoes during the Malakoff run in PG, there were resellers here but only for short sprints not for LSD (though i wish i could try), Garmin's so tempting now...i need it to measure the distance i run cant rely on my bike alone.. i drive the route and check on the tripmeter

What do you mean by phantom the McD run?

Added on July 7, 2009, 5:00 pmI need some adivice from all the runnerz here.

I don't feel comfortable wearing shorts anymore while running.

Are there any good below knee length running pants? Tights?
I heard from a guy running at a track once that it's not advisable to run wearing tights? Is that true?

If you guys know any, can you recommend a brand and the price range. I need to find one ASAP. Thanks all.

as in run without bib no.

ccbue and marvinct are users or they selling oso? Will likely drop by Curve this weekend to look-see.

Phantom runner is just someone who is running along side with registered runners for an event.

Pants ah?

New Balance running shorts..if I'm not mistaken RM29.90 for one.

There have normal short pants. and those super sexy short ones HAHHAHA

Owh. I see.
I wanted to do that for the Standard Chartered KLM but the organizers advised me against it as we will be in the way of the registered runners. I almost ran though but decided to run by myself at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa.

he said he posted wet feet before, ccube said normal arch?

haha nt me drive la.. me jz sit in car n sleep
Jz like go setia alam liao reach there around 4? haha

forefoot runners are mostly elites keke
ccube will b bringing loads more stuff soon

Me wear tights.. coz other pants jz dun do it for me especially during long runs when the sweat is a couple of litres
Mine frm Adidas..


Users mate...

oh pai seh brother. i saw that post edi missed that post.

Are your tights below the knee (covers the knee area)? I am only looking for any type of running pants, tights that covers the knee.
And how much? So, from what you said it's more comfortable running with tights? Are there tights made especially for running? Don't you feel 'tight' around your hamstring and you feel no restrictions whatsoever while running?

Sorry for too many Q's. Would appreciate if someone can answer all these questions.

the New Balance one doesn't cover the knee but it is not tight. its very comfortable actually as its running shorts.

got so cheap shorts wan ar at NB? later i go see see...
the material is cotton or those polyester type?
wonder if they have any shorts for women

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!!

polyester got for ladies also.

If I'm not mistaken about Rm29.90 Shouldn't be too expensive

Yeah, I asked the organizers the day before the race and they said that I can't be a phantom runner.
I'm glad I wasn't......pity that guy. (but the mom looks like she has a bib )
