sfax...what u get from klang pacer race pack?

only give 1 power bar @ gel , and deep heating

ha..ha...cannot expect too much lah.is A237 your number?

Is the shoe out already? =( im keen on getting one.

during runs, power bar/gel/ or normal biscuit is best?

Which one is best to use during runs??

I think its a good shoe, but if you are interested in Saucony too do let me know

See you guys,

I'm leaving for the airport around 8.30pm

Will be arriving at Wimbledon(Heathrow airport) around 5.50am Sunday.

i will update once i'm there with internet connection. I will miss you guys. take care

Alright. xD

ccube: It's a trial session where each runner will be a given a pair to try it on. Later, a post mortem will be held to share among the positive and negative aspects of the shoe. Runners won't get the shoe though. Have to give back. And it's only limited to the trainer, not the racer.

strife01: The Lunars were launched last Monday priced at RM389 for the LunarTrainer+ and RM439 for the LunaRacer+.

metalfreak: Do take care of yourself there and I will see you soon. Remember to run and take photos around there.

metalfreak, enjoy urself and take care. Wimbledon is a nice place too. keep in touch w beautiful pictures

andy: LSD stands for Long Slow Distance meaning running a long distance at a slower pace to build up leg strength and also endurance.

sfax: Congratz! Very good timing for 12KM. Have a good rest.

sfax, very good time indeed. another pia kaki that I can see coming very strong.

sfax-you are fast..

my time is 67 minutes...

and i notice few ladies who are very fast...i counted about 9 ladies overtook me...

the mat salleh lady overtook me even before half of the run ...

my time in klang pacers 12km not so good, about 75min...
the mat salleh lady got what place ah? saw her with quite a big trophy...
sfax: wow the blue shoes really 'shining' leh!

navilink...i think she got number one lah..

Yes! Done my 1st Half Marathon at Borneo International Marathon today.
Finished at 02:05:47, place 77th (total no of participants for Half Marathon around 300++)

Initially i planned to measure the exact distance by using by GPS, but forgot to activate the sensor when the race start. Quite noob, probally too excited for the run. Today i start with very slow run, a bit nervous cos worry if i will pancit half way. It was 01:01:30 when i reached 10k mark, it's too slow if i still want to have sub-2. Thus i try to speed up after 10k, but cos accelerate too much, side stich came to me. Bo bian, then have to reduce the speed, wait the stict gone then baru continue speeding. Run like mad for the final 3k, around 5mins/km, the excessive energy probally come from power-gel, i took 2, at 10km and 16km.

Although today missed my hi-case target of sub-2, but it's very nice to have complete the half marathon without pancit.

Hehe, my 1st medal from runnning:

congratulation toto4d...good time for your 1st half marathon.

i hope to achieve this timing in my 1st half marathon in singapore coming december...btw how is the organising and the turn out in this borneo international marathon?

meatball88 : Thx. I think you can do it la, now ur 12km at 67mins, quite good le. The organizing is quite well done, the web was setup nicely and quite frequent email update. There is a bit excessive of water station, can be seen anywhere. But some water station near finishing line was run out of cup when i passed thru. Hehe, probally becos they lack of experience since this is the 1st Borneo International Marathon. I believe the organizer are trying to do their best.

The total turn out around 1000++, 300++ for full, 300++ for Half, 400++ for 10k. If they do more publicity, i think next year will be more runners joining.

toto4d: Pressure free for the first time racing this distance. Though you miss your sub-2 target, your timing is already remarkable that put some others to shame. Anyway, CONGRATZ on getting your first shiny. 2 more will be coming and then you be certified a marathoner!

Thx ! ya, the mat saleh NO:1 only 1 gal over take me at last 1.5KM ,she carry a backpack with water, today my performance quite bad , last 5KM abit slow , i though can finish in 50-55min sad

Hey all..

the run was..1 word -FANTASTIC it was hwever more then 4km+ mentioned..i checked with one of the runners..it seems its 6km+ coz it starts frm the Bkt Aman carpark (nw i knw where it is ) all the way round lake gardens like u go on to the highway a bit then bk into the taman..up the hills n all past the bird park and all...it be 5+ if an exit was made at the planetarium..but of course the group didn't do that..and erm..i dun tink dey are beginners..a no. wearing "PACE SETTERS" t -shirts and all..a couple of hot young chiqs running/ jogging at a real good pace..

i was edi there at before 7.15am..didn't see a whole bunch of runners till abt 7.35 or so..i saw them as dey ran dwn hill into lake gardens so i followed...keke

o btw..i saw u andy..but didn't hv the balls to say hi or wave saw u..ur gf and ur gf's fren i guess..when the 3 of u met up behind the boat hse and u left them..

*lesson learnt today..nvr say women are slow ...well..at least some aren't

**o btw...is 1 lap around da lake realli like 2+ km? i mean a whole round seems a lot longer nt cutting across the bridge..1 whole round..till the play ground??


*wow...i do hope i'll be able to join the running events asap

Just get my new pair of shoe, will start my first run asap!

toto4D ur speed geng

d3vilzzzz: If you run through Planetarium, then the distance will be around 6KM. They all started as beginners but has hence improved. Some can even take on 10KM double hills and some 20KM Hartamas route. 1 loop around the Lake Gardens is 2.3KM.

sfax: 3 days 2 nights (5 Dec - 7 Dec) travelling by First Coach. What you mean you think you book? Book already or not?

WAZZZUP GUYS!!!

hi phoenix...

can i know more about the double hill?(distance of the climb and estimate gradient of the slope).

mizuno run this weekend involved the double hill right?

i have never run over there and mizuno is my 3rd run after seremban 10km and yesterday klang 12km.so wants to mentally prepared.

thanks a lot

sfax, some of the ladies are fast. can sayur men runners easily. there are a couple out there that is hard to outrun them unless u train kau kau lat. never under estimate lady runners nowadays.

phoenix,

Nike LSD... How 'L' ?

Added on October 13, 2008, 11:25 amGot Mizuno leh next day.. I easy pancit

This post has been edited by Syd G: Oct 13 2008, 11:25 AM

he said should be 20+ wor....i also scare i die next morning on mizuno....

Can the chickens (me and andy especially) go for a 8km run or something?

Tsk tsk tsk... Syd Syd Syd...
Last weekend... Sat 21km world wide challenge... sunday NB klang 12km run... can do one..!! just go slow slow..

finally im back to online.

new thread, new hope, n let's growing together...

Furthest I've ran was 15k. 21k + 10k hilly back-to-back is a tall-order for me

.......deng

syd if we can do the pre-mizuno hill run 10km that should be fine too eh.

yeah can do a pre-Mizuno 10k DH with you all of you on Sat. I am also planning to skip my 25k run to reserve for Sunday. This Sunday is to test my speed again (not that I can run very fast). See how fast I can whack the hills and come back in one piece. If interested we can do it at 6am but the NIKE trial is at 5am, gotta chk with Phoenix and see if he can get NIKE to shift the time.

ahh that is nice then.

anyone can recomend the best shoes for running long disance..

meatball88: I don't really know about the exact gradient as I never measure it before. But it's pretty steep especially for beginners and it all happens around the 5KM mark, normally after a refreshment station. Experience it yourself this Sunday and you will know. As time passes, it get pretty easy.

Syd G & Andy: My standard is 20KM only consider long. You can opt to do your own "LSD" as Nike isn't setting any route. Just make sure you return the shoes after the run. A good option is like what ccube said. Simulate the Mizuno route to help prepare for the next day.

tanling26: Each of us has different preferences for shoes. I myself choose my shoes based on performance and comfort and not the design. You have to do some product research over the internet and also to tryon the shoes yourself to get to know them. If you are interested in Saucony, do let me or ccube know.

This post has been edited by phoenix: Oct 13 2008, 08:27 PM

phoenix,

Cool. In that case, what time should we be there? I dont really know the exact route. Andy you know?

if u love design, nike pwn all.

what u think about asics?

Syd G: There is no fix route. You go and run your own route be it double hills, Carcosa or around Lake Gardens. The meet up will be 5am at Bukit Aman carpark. I'll be running the Mizuno Wave Run reverse route though starting at 6am.

tanling26: Asics is a "legendary" brand. But not matter how good or expensive the shoe is, if it doesn't suit your feet, what's the point.

This post has been edited by phoenix: Oct 13 2008, 09:36 PM

Hehe, i think asiic might be the best, but i have no chance to try it yet. But the PRICE is oso the BEST.....

If you are interested in Saucony let me or phoenix know.

no fixed route then good!!! i'll do 10km then on DH.

Added on October 13, 2008, 9:51 pmsyd you goin? i need kaki to run together, i dun wan to run alone, scary laa.

This post has been edited by andychee81: Oct 13 2008, 09:51 PM

Andy and all,

This Sat I am doing the simulation run of Mizuno Run. Those who want to join me pls be at Bkt Aman carpark at 5.55am. Run will start at 6am.

wokay

so nice...I would train together with you guys if I was back home.

Disappointed not being able to run for Mizuno after training so hard.

I will try running over here soon as possible... Hopefully its not too cold.gotta plan sikit. either I do short runs before work or long runs after work. I'll see how dark and cold it is after work. We normally finish by 5.30pm...depending on work.

No balls to run with u guys yet

i'll keep me training with the "newbies" at 7.30

hi phoenix....

can tell me what is the estimate distance we have to run uphill(for the double hill route)?thanks

Sounds good, not going for the actual Mizuno, but will join you all there. Been a while since I ran around DH route.

woot more ppl coming, nice!!

its a up and down terrain throughout the route. estimate to be at least 30% hilly. you come and join me for this Sat simulation run then u will know.

Meatball, if you're not working Saturdays, wake up a bit earlier and come lar. At the time you drive, there sure won't be any jam. Haha.

d3vilzzzz: Since you do come for the beginner's program, do introduce yourself to us when you see us. I'm sure you know how I look like.

meatball88: I'm not really sure as I do not check on my sensor when I run. But if I were to estimate it, I guess it will be around 1KM to 1.5KM long. Don't ask the distance, experiencing yourself is the best.

hi ccube,smallbug and phoenix..

thanks for the reply.At least it is not 70% hiily.

I will try this route on sunday lah...

smallbug,i am afraid i can't come on saturday...have to work

Added on October 14, 2008, 1:56 pmanother questions to all the sifu runners....

what you guys usually think of when you guys running...especially alone and doing long distance?

it is a blank mind?...singing motivation songs?...solving problems?...girls? ....etc.

Kindly share with newbie like me...as i find sometime negative toughts come into my mind causing me to easily give up or slow down.(worse when tired and legs in pain).

Thanks for sharing...waiting for your feed back.

This post has been edited by meatball88: Oct 14 2008, 01:56 PM

What I think?

"Oh fck am running. It's only 100m... 200m.... 1km... fck fck fck so many kms to go.. I'd rather go at home sleep under blanket so cozy.. Ok think happy thoughts. Sing with the music. Ok lets sing.. Ssssiiingggg"

Then I'll start lip-synching

meatball, run will finish around 7:30 leh.. can shower and still go to work

what am i thinking? usually completely blank else :

on running events "shiat, again i'm paying to run a freaking long road.!!! KNS!!! the hill so bloody steep!!! $#$#@%$#%" (*all the way till the end)

on normal jogging "i cant belive i woke so freaking early just to run here, hey that gal is cute, must overtake her"

upon finishing both "weeeeeee!!! song ahh!!! can't wait for next week"

I can't help but to burst into laughter after knowing what's on Syd and Andy's mind while running. Haha...
As for me, I sometimes do not know what I think about at times. Just stay positive and I always tell myself that I do not want to regret at the end of the day. Some people says that running is actually mind over body. I have to agree at times.

one mor thing, before you start running, listen to this 'the contender theme song' i'll surely bring your mood up.

I imagine I'm a caveman, and there's an (imaginary) cavewoman in front of me.

Seriously, I do mental intervals.. like..'aim for that next telephone pole', or 'until this small bend in the road'..

Definitely have to think about something.

wahhh a day before competition also run so much ?? not suppost to rest meh??
anyway how you all look like how to know??

We'll all be wearing the same neon green coloured shoes.

Eh phoenix no nid to give size isit?

i think there's a handful of people at 5am. so ealisy can see who they are.

wow...this is what you been thinking ah??!!

anyway...i stay in seremban...can't make it back in time to work if i come to run...anybe one day if i am free on saturday.. thanks.

Do a few rounds at Seremban Lake Gardens lar.

Syd G: I heard that there will be plenty of it. No worries on sizing. Besides, I don't think there will be many female runners around.

hi smallbug...i usually run around S2 and city park.If you come back then can join us lah on sunday.

i will join u guy for the DH this saturday , i forgot how the road look like , 6 years ago i ran with Pacm members there . what time will start for DH ? i weak for hill run

This post has been edited by sfax: Oct 14 2008, 09:36 PM

sfax: I'll be there around 5am for the Nike Lunar Trainer+ trialling. Our doube hill run will start at 6am. Just meet up at the same place where you met us last Saturday. We will be doing the reverse double hill route which I think none of us has done before. See ya!

haiz....damn...too late to register for the mizuno run...any idea i can register now...hope can get it...sob....

I don't mean to spam but ...here are some pics of the hotel i'm at









Just took these tonight(15.10.2008). I'm off to watch some TV before going to sleep. Its was very cold last night...I'll be wearing the long johns to sleep tonight.

sad...i wan to join mizuno's run....T.T

jason991: And so how many times you want to let people know that you are too late to register for Mizuno Wave Run? Twice in 22 hours! Oh that gave you 2 more post counts? SPAMMER!

hahha..."spermer"

anyway..wats the diff run early morning? afternoon? evening? or even at nite?

i find running in the morning you can breath easier.

in the afternoon, too hot to run.

in the evening it's slightly too stuffy feeling.

night........never......takut kena robbed.

if im a spammer....i wun post 2 only.....do u know how to define spam?

d3vil, i never like to run in the afternoon or evening for my workouts. too stuff n hot most of the time, unless it rains an hour or two b4 your run. FYI, i normally do my runs in the morning, the air is fresher and i can run better. the only setback for someone is to wake up earlier. i m used to it, so no effect for me.

This post has been edited by d3vilzzzz: Oct 17 2008, 10:30 AM

i know i would be...syd wanted to go slow too.

Excuse me guys….newbie here…

Might want to join u all for tomorrow…but afraid later my legs don’t have enough rest for Sunday’s Mizuno Wave…

Are you guys will be doing the Nike Lunar Trainer shoe trials and later you guys will do the double hill? Or you guys will be using the Lunar Trainer from the shoe trials for the double hills? I little bit confuse here.

I’ve yet to run there…very afraid for Sunday’s race. That why I want to try first on Saturday…
