anywhere else?

Roger! I'll wait

wat time is good for u, i am going to KLCC ard noon tmrw, maybe u can wait outside Wisma MCA, no need park car

I'm running on the track this Sunday, 10,000m. I know that running on track is different from running on the road. I wonder shud I invest on a pair of spikes ? It's more like a one-off event, I'll be running on the track maybe only once a year, for my ministry's sports carnival. Any sifus here can give me advice, whether it's okay to run using road shoes on the track ?

I've asked Mizuno Gardens, they do stock Mizuno Tempo LD spikes, RM299, after 20% less it's RM250+ like that... More expensive than my two pairs of road shoes !!! Hahah...

You can tighten the string around the seams.. Reebok and Puma..

hey ccube do you have a shop or something that I can visit?

my shop is under renovation now. we cann meet at a specific location like Lake Gdns on a Sat mornign after my run from 0830 - 0930. U can test try the shoe there.

Well if the spikes are cheap y nt?
O.. btw i knw a place near "Jaya One" dey are selling ASICS spikes for oni RM200, there are oso of course one which are more exp.
Mebbe after the event u cud use it for speed training?

Road shoes on the track?
Well if ur running against season athletes, u b loosing out on a lot as just like racers, spikes have bare minimal (0 i tink) cushioning hence realli light.. as opposed to ur conventional shoes.. with the spikes, you go around the corners way easier

But if its just a "for fun" run, competitors dun train as hard as u (hv u been training )
Nth to loose with ur norm shoes..

And besides.. the real deal is ur stamina and leg strength..


Nop he has no shp..
Come to LG for a see see of his stock else check with him and see if he can meet u up somewhere..

Well... I'm still considering all options. The Mizuno Tempo LD is for long distance track runs (hence the "LD"). There are cheaper ones of course, I went to GS Gill on Saturday, there was this Line 7 spikes for RM69.90 !

My other option is to buy another road racer, I have the Mizuno Wave Aero currently. I was considering buying the Wave Ronin. I can't find the Wave Universe (at 100g/pair, proly the lightest road racer in the market today). New Balance have got a really light racer I saw in their store @ Gardens, not too expensive too. Haih...

Training ? Hahah.. I've been running as usual la, after the SCKLM. Did hillsprints, tempo, etc. Next week it's gonna be the Siemens Run. My first back-to-back race this year.

As for the competitors, I've been told there's one established runner who used to run for BSN (which is also under my ministry). So I guess he's gonna be the favorite, unless I can suddenly run a sub-5:00/km pace. My goal would be to break the hour. That first, anything more will be a bonus.

chk out the Saucony Type A2 or Fastwitch 3 if RM260 is within ur budget.

well considering the cheap spikes? jz buy one and use frm time to time during training?
spikes can be kept longer too considering the lack of technology and cushioning..

but investing in a pair of racers does seem like a more practical buy.. considering u b running more often on the road?

training as usual? good to hear wat is ur training pace btw for 10km? under 5.00/km pace mebbe difficult if norm u dun train at 5.15 or 5.30
oni one tough nut ?? no worries.. hope to hear u securing the 1st runner up medal..

10KM race rite? can la sure no problem u can break into the below the hour mark....looking at your training hillsprints , tempo should be ok i normally dont even do that...unless i force myself

as for spike's we can advice but ask yourself, where do you see yourself running often in future, more on the roads or the tracks? and sure as heck you cant be using spikes on treadmill..

Yeah, tht's the thing la. I'ma race on the track maybe a maximum of once or twice a year only, whereas the bulk of my races would be on the road la. Might as well buy myself new race shoes.

I'll go to the track this afternoon, c how it goes la. If not that much difference (& I'm betting tht'd be the case) & I can still run a decent race with my road shoes, I'll just stick to my current shoes la. BTW, I'll be running on the track at UKM.

another new pair of running shoes for you! interesting UKM allows non-students to use their facilities, here in Penang the only track here is the USM tracks and that also strictly for students only...i tend to use if once in a while but often they'll ask if im a student. just give them a bs that im from the marine research faculty no point bringing badge during exercise

ah i see from your sig that you're running for the KOTR too...

Added on July 9, 2009, 1:11 pmWell, my ministry rented the whole place out for this weekend for our sports carnival. & we have the track for ourselves for training since Monday. &.. I'm ex-UKM anyway..

KOTR, yeah.. registered @ Gardens a couple weeks back. I'm focusing on 10K, but next year I'd like to do some half marathons as well...

if u have committment to run on track frequently then no harm getting 1.

im planning to train speed at the kg pandan sport complex track...

hi all, did my SCKLM 10K run, and after the run i felt pain on my left thigh, overuse of muscle. since the pain was gone after a week, i tried running on last Sunday, and the pain came back. I have difficulty walking down the steps. It is gone 2 days ago, and I ran for 2K, and the pain came back. I wonder how long should i rest. Any idea anyone?

Hi,

hv u seen a doc? are u sure it is overuse of the muscle?
are u stretching? wat abt running just 1km?

coz considering u rested a week after 10km run, it shud more then sufficient?
do u normally run? u play other sports?

based on review Type A3 had better cushioning, and able to take on a marathon for heavier runners. its not available here as yet, so i am still selling the A2 which is RED in color. My recommendation is A2 is best for short races and max is a 21k. Its is pretty flat and have very little cushioning.

i have not seen a doctor yet, maybe i should. i am a regular runner. started running last year, each week at least 2 to 3 runs, each run 5 - 9k. use to play futsal, but have stop.
