just rest, and try not to take antibiotics. it will weaken ur body tremendously. i still remember last yr Pg mara, i was on medication for 2 weeks b4 race day. on theday, whole body lemah and was really struggling fr 25k onwards.

Now I am carrying a sprain knee ligament into Pg mara. I think cramp my training into 2 months and dont have enuf rest in between. Hopefully it gets better towards the week, else have to think of a way to overcome the pain to endure a 42k run.

sfax, we will only arrive ard noon time. our bus is 8am in the morning. staying at Krystal Suites. If you wanna come and lepak let us know. wont want to walk too much and overeat. only do it after my run. just normal consumption of food will do for me.

anyway there isnt much time to sleep especially for those doing the 42k as the race start at 3am. almost very similar to running Sundown Marathon.

sweet, come and join us on Sat for 20k runs, if the distance is OK with you. our runs normally starts at 6am at Lake Gardens, Bukit Aman carpark. Else if you want to run shorter distance of around 5k to start of with the you can you the Runners Malaysia Beginners Prg which start at 7.30am the same place. Note: Most of us will be downin Penang this weekend for Penang Marathon so no running this Sat. We resume after one week or so. keep in touch at this forum.

cas2you,
Thx for the infor. i know Quick-Sport. The guy running the business is Yong, selling mostly Tri stuff. I am not interested in Newton as I am marketing Saucony right now. I believe Saucony had the price advantage and value for money in terms of performance and technology. But again every brand had its pros and cons in terms of what it offer and also individual preference.

Let me know if you are interested in Saucony running shoes as well as Tri tops and bottoms.

teoanne, i dont resell 2XU, only Saucony. Even for tri tops and bottom, currently i only have the mens version.

wah the bib so BIG one arhh !!!!!

wah 2 x Powergel for 25k!!!!, i scare overdose oredi.

sfax, u seems like very der kancheong woh. first time running Pg Bridge?? cool down, cool down. marn man lai !!! and also dont get intimitated by those crazy runners who sprint out very fast, most of them sure KONG one before reaching the mid-span of the bridge. You want effective carbo-load, just walk into KFC and buy a tub of mesh potato and whack it kau2. sure got power the next morning. tats my secret recipe during my younger days of running.

wei, mash potato only, NO chicken okay !!!! Not good for health.

Chin, Thx. PB pr no PB, I would think this will be a good race to run. Yee Hah !!!!

Hi all, back from Pg. Was happy with my run and timing. Nothing to complain with only 2 mths of trng coupled with low mileage !!!! Anyway will definitely be back next year at least for the Makanthon with CK and Phoenix!!!!

sfax, no go for me even though i love to run at my home town. will be in HK for my family vacation. hv to give it a miss. join us to hv some fun at the Putrajaya 12hr walk, got a sizable group there.

looks like u need an Anti Blister System Socks to solve ur blister problem. something like WrightSocks http://www.wrightsock.com/anti-blister.html

I will be bringing this brand into Malaysia soil.

try to move urself up to 15k, that will be a lot easier when u run the 20k race come Jan.

teoanne, US6.5 is not available from my new stocks as distributor in Sg didnt order it. The smallest I got is US7. Maybe you can try it out first. As for the price, there is an increase to the new stock (08 summer models), and now its selling at RM260. Let me know what do you think.

Added on November 21, 2008, 10:16 amtongyam, the price had increase to RM260 due to higher exchange rate of USD and SGD vs Ringgit Malaysia. Nothing that I can control. In fact the weakening of RM will see the price of US goods increase significantly as most of the running shoes are from USA.

Added on November 21, 2008, 4:15 pmSaucony Spring 2009 Release http://forums.runnersworld.com/eve/forums/...77/m/2211091945

These models are only release in US come Jan 2009, we probably have to wait minimum one to two months beofre it reaches Malaysia soil. But this is to give you an indication what to lookout for. The new model that was introduce was Echelon, the rest are generally color updates.

meatball, depend on how GUNG-HO you are. Some do one or two 21k and head towards 42k, some run 21k forever and never got the guts to do 42k. some their first race is 42k, cinya salute. Dunno how to write the word DIE. IMHO, i think if you have done 3 to 4 21k races, you shud be ready to training for a 42k. And dont expect too much from your maiden 42k, its just to go out enjoy the run and experience it. after that you can analysis where your strength and weakness are and work on it.

sfax, good target with ur speed / endurance / age ~ plus its ur maiden marathon. most important thing is dun get too pressure on race day.
