Commitment is the key here 

and btw..

Hi all,

Jz back frm me KL City Run..

I clocked 58:50 inclusive of a near 2 minutes in the kandang doing nothing..
Managed to secure a medal I was number 216(if i rmbr correctly)..

There was pressure all the way frm the start as only the first 300 get medals..
I didn't want to go home without 1..

My first ever 10k (i heard it was 11km+?) and I definitely felt I could hv done better..
There were no markers hence I didn't knw when to accelerate and whether or not my pace was correct I do suppose if there were markers i would have knwn when to accelerate BUT there was also lack of training on my part as i perhaps could have powered on all the way..

I need to train more!!
Nonethless I definitely enjoy the run and I will continue participating in the many more competitions ahead!

KL Towerthon next week! here i come!!

Now u feel the kancheong-ness in getting medal leh and dont feel too bad abt the time as the distance is ard 10.8k (3 GPS kok with slight diff distance ie 10.91k, 10.86k, 10.87k) 58.50 for a 1st timer in a tough 10k route is nothing to be ashame of. try again in next race and you can only get better. anyway i think u be proud of it.

for me i was trying to do a consistent sub5 pace but couldnt sustain it. my fastest lap is Km7 and Km8 where my pace was 4.38k/min and 4.51k/min. Km10 and Km11 is also slight under 5min pace, the rest are just above. anyway am happy with my time of 55.07 (position 49 in Jr Veteran) since its the first 10k race and my speed is reasonable. Shud be able to sustain a faster pace over time.

IMHO, if your shoe have good cushioning you dont need a support insole unless you are using orthotics insole.

Having blisters can caused by 1) the socks create too much friction and 2) your shoes is too tight
maybe can meet at Lake gdns on a Sat to get the injinji.

Actually, for socks, I've been using the running socks I bought from FOS. They have this sports-specific socks for RM10 each I think (or 3 for RM25). So far no prob la. But maybe since I only run twice weekly & my longest run is only about 10K. I forgot the brand edi, but it's only available in FOS outlets. I guess different products works for different ppl, what works for me might not work for other ppl.

hi guys,
i want to lose weight on running/jogging. i know this works for me cuz my brother already tried this and was successful.
my problem is:
-i was oversize when i start university but now i am really fat . (jean size 44/30!)
-and since im foreign student here, i donno malaysia very well
so i have problem finding gear that fit me. (shoe, shorts,etc).
i manage to buy the i shoe i wanted from nike in klcc but i didnt find running shorts that fit me.
i check out nike website and i think i need 3XL nike shorts but max size i find is 2XL in nike/adidas klcc.
----------------
can some1 tell me which nike/adidas/reebok shop... got BIG size running shorts?

Personally, I think you can stick with normal shorts first. You do not to get those branded shorts like the one you mention. Shorts from Forest, Cheetah, etc... will work too. Even those normal shorts from the night market will do. I even sometimes run in cotton shorts, but of course only around my housing area and for a short distance. Save up some money first. When you do get slimmer, then perhaps you can start looking for those branded ones.

thanks for the reply man.where can i get these normal brands u mentioned? any shops outlet u guys know? the sports shops is suria klcc only got 2xl which was too tight for exercise.

by the way i dont really care how much i spend on my sport clothing. you guys probably dont know how much i HAVE TO spend on jeans/shirts that fit me and how much i must again pay to the tailor to fix them...so expensive brand is also ok with me financially. i just wan loose fit so i can do my jogging.

I pm'ed you my hp. please check your incoming message if u receive it.

Guys

I'm planning to practice and training short distance run (100m,200m and 400m) .Anyway im a beginner and never train running since 9 years ago.Im 16 anyway

So what should I do for stamina and speed? and what muscle should i concentrate ?

my personal record for 100m - 11.44s,200m - 26s, 400m 59s

I guess its quite slow for people around my age.

yeah same like me

recently just won a few gold in school hari sukan,thats why i guess i could go further.although running is one of the most thing i hate.seriously.

i never participate any running comp b4 this,even at school.

so what training and workout shud i do now?i have about 3-4 week b4 the state comp.thanks !

I didnt play sports in school - not running, not badminton, not even chess. Nothing.

I started running with 2 mins non-stop. Felt like wanted to die in the gym. Now can run 2hrs non-stop (not even stopping @ water station hehehe).

Train, and just do it

Nice training guide here mate oh btw what LSD? stands for?...i do read thru often but rarely post...so i hope you guys dont mind me joining ya I've been running for a year so far with the sole reason was to loose weight..never thought i would take it seriously...have done 2 half mara's and a few 10K and 5k's..already registered for the Sundown Mara Spore anyone here going?

I think it stands for Long Slow Distance?

Don't be a lurker then. Welcome to post here, except no spamming please. metalfreak got it right. LSD stands for Long Slow Distance. You can wiki about it.
Am going for my second Sundown Marathon this year. You registered for full or ultra? Where you from?

Sometimes boring to jog alone.

Would love a challenge.
