sfax, Adi very der expensive lah, unless u buy old models and catch them when there is a store wide discount, else all their shoes are easily RM350 - RM500, cinya expensive. My Saucony Paramount which is top of the range with climate adaptability only cost RM430. The most expensive running shoes is still Asics Kinsei which is RM800 but this model is a failure. Too much technology in it tat so much so it made the shoe so heavy, hard and bulky

devil, no worries. i will maintain the current price to be competitive unless the RM devalued so much then no choice liao. Saucony will continue to be a value for Money performance running shoes, Just Watch It.

Hello! I actually concur that Kinsei is a failure. I was considering buying that shoe before settling for Nike Equalon.

Kinsei is actually more comfortable and less chunky than let say Kayano. In terms of design and comfort from wearing the shoe
initially, it seems like a very good shoe. Only thing is that it's expensive!

any LSD run this saturday morning ?

chin, i am not running. resting my knee and tapering for Pg mara. Gotta chk with Frank

ok, good luck to u for the penang marathon. any target?

By the way fellow runners... if anybody is interested to get Newton running shoes (as worn/endorsed by 2008 KONA Ironman world champion Craig Alexander), can get in touch with me... interested please check out www.newtonrunning.com for more details / technology / models

Newton shoes help guide you to run with forefoot landing and pushoff, which is the most natural and efficient way to run... Lots of patents and research in these shoes... so they dun come cheap...

The racers and trainers are going for RM525 nett. Cheerz!

berukberak, Newton have some good models. no doubt about it but its very new to the market. i only heard abt it last two yrs, also during the Kona Ironman time. Are you marketing it directly urself??

ccube: I didn't get the distributorship... just helping my buddy out.. mainly deal in triathlon stuff.. but you're right, newton is relatively 'new' in the running world and also interms of media coverage, but the shoes are good... i'm using it myself also..

hehe good to hear..u'll hv a faithful customer if the prices dun go up (well a bit its still okies la )

hw do shoes like adizero compare to normal trainers..dey hv less cushioning??..more contact with the ground?? can b used in long distance?

GUYS! I can't wait. 2 more weeks before I return home to Malaysia.

Sigh, I doubt I have enough time to train for my 1st half marathon. I plan to run this weekend as I'm not going any where at Wimbledon. I just pray that it won't drizzle and won't be too cold.

Can't wait to be back and resume my usual running training for any future runs.

Till then, I'll bulk with more budweisers, Stella Artois, sandwiches and pasta.

Good luck to everyone that is running in the IOI community run this weekend

devil, adizero series are racers. this type of shoe are very flat ie thin, low profile and very little cushioning and stability support. the key advantage is its very light. generally for those who run fast in a short race like 5k, 10k and max 21k. a normal trainer will have better cushioning and stability support for longer distance running to prevent any injury. so the conclusion is if you are new to running dont invest in a racer first until u are comfortable running fast. newbies shud just stick to trainers for any distance during trainings.

Dear all sifus..

i wud like an opnion on me training..i wud like to add more mileage and incorprate HIIT
i m aiming towards running half marathon by next yr

Currently
Monday = Rest
Tuesday = 5km (fast paced)
Wednesday = 6km (fast paced)
Thursday = 7km (moderately paced)
Friday = Rest
Saturday = 10km (relaxed paced)
Sunday = Rest

Planning to
Monday = HIIT
Tuesday = 8km (moderately paced)
Wednesday = 8km (moderately paced)
Thursday = 8km (moderately paced)
Friday = HIIT
Saturday = 10 -15km (relaxed paced)
Sunday = Rest

*Paces will gradually increase as well as the mileage, meebe 2km per increase

what do u guys tink?

Do your HIIT on Wednesday instead. Let your body recover on Friday before hitting it on Saturday. Rest is part of your training also. As for Monday, do a relax 5KM run instead. Else, everything is fine.

HIIT then once a week oni?
y a 5k instead of HIIT?
and...
though HIIT is intense but its like 30mins max...safer nt to move at all on friday?

thanks do appreciate the feedback
