sifus, any recommended doctors to go checking on the feet?

Been feeling a pain at the top if i press my feet against the floor. with scklm so close, dun wan to risk anything.

the pain is not on the toe.
hmmm its at the centre. i dont know call what area.

don't think its the cushioning.

not sure what is it. i press top of foot and heel also cannot feel pain.

But if i stand up and press hard and twist around a bit then will feel pain.

seeing a specialist tomorrow to check it out.

maybe its the shoe lace, cos i have been trying to tighten it as much possible since i visited a podiatrist who advice me to do so.... hahah bad advice?

first time heard of lock laces. looks interesting.

let me check out my porblem with the specialist first.
but the lsd last saturday really very harsh. dun even have stamina to do my usual run today. 2km have to knock out liao

U r rite, with injury dun even think can start marathon....sigh..that would be a huge dissapointment!

after the insane training and suffering haha.

just hope its nothing serious.

doctor gave me an x ray...confirm nothing wrong with the bones.
suspect could be due to ligament tear.....
best part is he said i could continue running, and if problem persist then only go back see him hahahahaha

though i am still not sure what is causing this mild pain, but its a huge relieve to me.....at least still can run! so dun care liao, after scklm can rest 99 then sure can recover.

ccube: the pain been there even before last week lsd actually. started off with a minor sprain which has since recovered, which somewut revolved into this top midfoot pain. ......anyway since i know its nothing serious, i am satisfied!

weather expected to become more hot and hazy!!! as if this is already not bad enough!!!

Hehe considering the route was overdistanced..

i KNOW my stand chart run would be in the 1'40s but yea the usual..TRAIN MORE!
Good to hear


that is a blistering pace!!!
i targetting 5 hr for scklm nia.....initially was 4 hr then 4'30 then now 5 hahaha.
the more i train the more impossible i feel to achieve hahaha.

i hope got pacers this scklm.
when i run alone during lsd, i try to go slower hoping can do longer distance without much suffering, but end up suffer and cannot go longer than usual lsd also. hahaha so it seems fast and slow no diff.

really hope dun hit the wall!!! but if cramp then how ah? immediately take gu gel can help ?

choi: how many km u doing tomorrow? still doing bird park at 530?

nice.....then i'll see you guys tomorrow. hope can wake up haha

hehe me never do double hill before.
just want to ask, i know there are a lot of advocaters and pro's out there saying we should taper during the last 2 week before the big day.
Is it mainly to avoid injury or to conserve energy and allow our body and legs to heal???
either reason it still make sense to taper.....but i also have an alternative thinking.

assuming you are training for a ultra marathon......you would be probably doing 42k's as weekly training and 42k becomes an easy distance to cover...suffering only starts beyond that distance

now using the same principle, suppose we don't taper off this weekend, and continue to run high 35k's and then next week run 42k (take race day as training prequel to something bigger). 1 week is enough to recover and restore all the energy back to our body, no?

icic...thanks for enlightening me ccube!

issit advisable to do a fast 20km this sat?? feel like testing my limit if i do a fast pace. meaning to run at a pace i feel reasonably hard, where i feel just able to sustain. just so i know how far to push during the race and yet be able to sustain the distance.

ccube: forgot to ask, are you targetting any timing for scklm?

that would be great for my virgin marathon timing hahaha.
dun know got strength to pace together with you or not haha... we can just follow the 4:30 pacer....but then maybe have to go a bit faster taking into consideration resting time in between to take the gels.
i m thinking 5 min stop at 15km, 5 min stop at 30km and another 3 min stop at 35km.
