well, considering ur quite a regular runner, running 10km shudn't b a prb..
and ur body is already conditioned to running..

u hv pulled something? seeing the doc maybe ur best option?
where exactly is the pain? left thigh.. up dwn middle bk frnt?...
can u continue running with the pain?

How many of ya'll runnerz here participating in this weekend olympic day run? Wondering if someone could share a ride with me? We can split the toll/parking/gas/whatever costs.
This seems farfetched, but I'll just take my chance asking u guys here. lol

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

LOL.....I didn't write it down?!
I'm at UNITEN, Bangi and have no transport.
Male/23

hw do u normally come to LG then?

When I go to LG, I drive using my dad's car. I don't have a car.
I only go there on Sats or Suns IF I am at my house (Setiawangsa).
But now, since classes have started, I'm back in campus. So, yeah...bummer
I can't find the time to go there frequently anymore.

sorry guys, i am not sure why did i type thigh, when i know that i suppose to be calf.

The pain was from back of the knee and down for 4 inches. I still can run and walk when the pain occur. After rubbing with deepheat, i don't feel the pain the next day.

Hey guys!~

I have a question here. When running, do you sway your shoulder side by side OR you keep it still and swing your hand forward and back?

I really have never concentrated on that, but i swing my shoulder moderately...cant see myself running with flailing arms though

most long distance runners dont swing their shoulder too much, unlike a walker. Moderately like wat triple02 said is pretty common.

Siemens tutup kedai dy? So fast

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 of running per week?

Cheers.

saturday mornings are a bit.... zzz

but this saturday is a no no anyway.

i'll let you know?

With the right motivation, the right attitude, well balanced diet, consistent.....1 month or less should do.
That's how long it took me to run 10 km.

When is the nearest running event? Interested to join.

I just developed some interest in running. I usually run in Kiara Park, but I dont know how to gauge my performance since I dont know the distance of the track. I just run for the fun of it.

i think the next 3 Sunday races in July are either fully registered or registration closed liao.

I went to UKM to run on the track this afternoon. It rained briefly, but other than that it was okay, made fun with lotsa chicks around. I did half lap+half lap at my planned race pace, for like 3 laps, then it was 1 lap + 1 lap also at race pace, for 4 laps, then I finished with 9 laps. This is what I learned from my first time running on a synthetic track:

1. For long distance races, i.e. 5000m & 10,000m, it's okay to use Ur road shoes. Grip is not an issue when running long distances. At least for me la.
2. It's pretty hard to pace myself, unlike on the road, where U have uphills, downhills, flats, false flats. On the track of course it's flat all the way. So I have to really be careful on how I pace myself or else I'ma burn out to early.
3. I found it pretty hard to focus & to motivate myself, coz I was running in circles (obviously). Unlike road racing where U run from point A to point B.
4. It is possible to run a little bit faster that I normally do on the road, becoz of the flat surface. But then again, I've to be careful as there won't be any water station, so I really have to gauge when to pull away or pull back.

Well, hopefully I can do well this Sunday.

OoOOo..
Even if me was going u wud need to at least get to an lrt station near by PJ area

so it's the calf?
okies..so with deepheat.. hw is it like running mebbe a km or two?

Pretty soon if u run 3/4 times a week..
But yea.. less then a month.. a month or so..

round and round you go ..mental strength
another thing.. when u say no issues with traction ..hv u tried a pair of spikes on the track? just experiment and see?

Well there are numerous styles from numerous runners..
Some do it sprint style.. like shoulders dun move but your arms move ->recommended when going uphill according to some sources
then there are those who dun move at all ->hands, arms and all are kept to the side, finger kept near the hip area/ some in the ab region.. helps with aerodynamics and saves energy.. lotsa runners run like that if u observe..

and in terms of motion the arms shud be like moving bk and forward rather then side to side..

Lotsa sources over the internet to read abt this.. search for "arms when running" or "where to place arms when running"... sorry i can't list the sources out.. way too many
