tongyam, if u on high mileage then having a 2nd pair of trainer will be ideal for you to interchange the shoe for trng. let me know if u r choosing Saucony again, can give you some recommendation for your next pair.

Added on November 26, 2008, 9:32 pmYour left foot seems to be a bit on the flat side, but anyway I leave it to Frank to give you the recommendation and advise. Saucony shud have the right model for you. You can still have the Fastwitch 3 for competition but not for training.

Good infor. The 2E means the width at the forefoot of the shoe. Std width is D and the widest is 4E. Are you now comfortable w 2E having good toe movement? If Ok then your feet are on the wider side where a normal width shoe will not fit.

Hi all, I will be going for my vacation from tmrw onwards and only back on Dec 8. So to those who is going to pia in Sg Mara, all der best and do enjoy the run. Good Luck.

Hi all,

Ayam back fr my HK makanthon trip. Hv gain 2kg after all the makan makan session. Congrats to those who ran the Sg race. Hv to start burning the rubber again to shed off the weight. Next event is the 12hr walk for me, and holiday again for for me after Xmas till 2009. And then onto GE 30k, hopefully can be fit by then.

i shud hv it but let me reconfirm when i am back home today.

yes, the Ironman watch looks almost like tat.

OK, reserve US8.5 and US9 (Yellow/Black) for you. In case US8.5 dont fit, then US9 shud be OK. Can we meet this Sat 830am at Bkt Aman carpark

will do a 10k and also need to deliver shoes to customers.

Added on December 10, 2008, 11:18 pmanyone gunning for Sundown Marathon next May, heard that KLIM09 is in June. hopefully its true and this two races dun clash. hmmmm 84k or 42k !!!

Will use this Sat Putrajaya 12hr walk to gauge how fast i can walk to cover 42k. if I will to run 84k , then first 42k will run in 6hrs and the balance maybe in 9hrs. Total 15hrs is worst case.

shud be quite safe

running shoes are generally very comfy for walking or for daily wear. u have hit it right. most important is ur budget, how much u willing to pay. a reasonably price running shoes will be around rm200 - rm250. unless u can get some old models like mfg in yr 2005/2006 which i believed can be cheaper.

toto4d,

this is ur tagline, hehehe!!!

Added on December 11, 2008, 5:31 pmI hv not wear PI before but generally the feel of the shoe is pretty hard and rigid. Just got the chance to look see look see some of the models in SG. Moreover is pretty pricey too. If u interested in Saucony let me know.

Adizero series are generally racers which are very light weight and with very little support and cushioning. More for competition / races like 10k and max 21k. Anything more than that, your leg must be make of iron to withstand the pounding.

Sfax, you have Adirzero series, maybe can share ur feedback to devil.

kenken, i am selling Saucony and you may want to consider it. For RM230 u will get a good pair of cushioning shoes model Jazz 12 ~. 2008n model quite a number of forumers here are using it. let me know if ur interested.

if you buy old stocks it all depend on luck as the shoe maybe store at warehouse for a long time ie mfg in 2006 opr 2007. can be even older.

kenken, metalfreak had given some feedback which i do concur, and here is what my advise and comments

1) all brands had their pros and cons. it will come to individual preference and also certain brands are more suitable than others for certain individuals. then the next most important thing is obviously price. Brands like ASICS are a premium. Their entry level shoes start from minimum RM300+. I would said Saucony is price in a range where its pretty affordable, doesnt burns a hole in the pocket for the technology and value you r paying.

2) All my stocks are 2008 model or minimum late 2007 model. I try not to resell old stocks because anything that happen to a shoe that is mfg during 05/06. The sole can be harden and the lifespan of the glue is near to end of life. Moreover is the shoe is store in the warehouse and is not used, its expose to humidity and moisture.

3) Jazz 12 is a cushioning shoe. Saucony have racers and light weight trainers too.

4) Its always good to have another shoe to alternate especially if you are running long distance. This is actually to give your shoe a rest after all the pounding in one running session like 25k - 30k. Also you balance out the wear and tear of the shoe itself.

Hope this helps.

Added on December 15, 2008, 11:19 am Tongyam and Vin_Ann, you guys had done great too. New to running and now new to long distance walking. Walking is a very slow sport (not as fast as running lah for ppl like me) but yet challenging

devil, 2 races that are on the calender ie GE30k (only 20k n 30k) and Sundown Mara (only 42k and 84k).

Syd, thats just a small part that is not common in a marathon. just drag urself up the bridge will do. other than that its a good experience running @ nite

hiyah, pay so much all der way to Sg and run 10k. not very compelling woh. i know in ur heart you love to run the 42k nite marathon, so dont chicken out. come to think of it the bridges r not too bad after all. listen to ur heart and not ur mind. Mind will give u all sorts of -ve thots, u know.
