phoenix, so NIKE is giving out the Lunar Trainer again this time.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

tongyam, pls come and you are most welcome to join us. then u can also meet all those in these forum. just come to the bukit aman carpark @ Lake Gardens by 5.55am. we will start the run at 6am, slow slow one dont worry. give me a call if you cant find us when u r there. hope to see you on Saturday.

its was good to meet up with all of you this morning. so we all know the reverse route of Double Hill is a lot easier to run but can be bad for the knees especially those long stretch of downhill. for those running tmrw, all der best and do enjoy the run. seeya.

hi all, i hope you do enjoy the run this morning. as the simulation run show us what is the effect of running Double Hill in the reserve, it was indeed with a lot of downhill (bad for the knees) and a very fast course. i was very surprised with the time I ran and able to sustain that kind of pace throughout. the simulation run on Sat did give me some idea when to push and when to reserve energy for some hill climbs. anyway till the next race !!!!

Grabulasa, if u need another pair of running shoes do let me know as I am selling Saucony. All 2008 models are at 40% discount, anytime better than those offer at the mall (as i believe all those are older models)

meatball,

you can check out the photos here, but not sure you will have access to it or not.

robocop, this year KRI 12k start at Tmn Sri Botani (not in Greentown). so the nearest hotel is Hill City along Jln Gopeng, near all the limestone caves where the temples are.

riq, still hv a lot of time (2.5 mths) to train for it mah. go give it a shot and we can do a simulation run again for those running GE30k !!!!

meatball, wah Sun Tzu ART OR WAR woh!!!!! Good Good Good.

GE30k 1st loop is 10k - you will have to run the Double Hill route (not the reverse like Mizuno Wave last week)

Then the next 20k you will have to run from the junction where JKR is all the way to Hartamas Petronas kiosk and then all the way back to LG Tapak A. This 20k is a hilly route especially at Kompleks Kerajaan and Plaza Damas. Watch out for these hills.

That will complete the 30k run. Hope this helps.

ironrashid aka robocop, how are you doing and hows your training for Pg Mara. hope everything is fine and progressing well.

chin, you have nail down the point so precisely. its mind over body when you are face with challenges in a race. so always think +ve and push on. now i reckon you are much more confident runner after all those experiences that you gain throughout the years of running and racing. keep it up and i salute your motivational factor.

all, no pain no gain & respect the distance. Pain will make you come out stronger.

riq, a group of us will be doing a 30k this Sat in preparation for Pg Marathon. As for the Nike LunaTrainer, it doesnt suits me at all. I dont find the support and stability in the shoe especially when going high speed and at corners. the shoe actually wobbles and the heel-toe transition is not as smooth as i thot. i had pressure pain at my arch after the run. luckily it lasted only 1 day and thats only doing a slow 10k during our simulation run. this shoe is definitely not for me.
