THanks navilink for giving me the brooks voucher unconditionally. This coming Saturday, I am heading to the shop to get one that suits me the most ......teng-kiu

dmm9394: why not go check out the shoe advisor in www.brooksrunning.com.....they look at runner size, arch, movement, etc.......

I am getting a gts9 later......

dmm: I am a rookie who know nuts about running and shoes. But I just know that I need a good one to cushion my weight, arch and movement (my outer sole tend to wear out faster). You may read some of the reviews in the net to get a good grasp of it. Otherwise, you can check with the boutique (an uncle) in the Curve. He can give good advice too.

Of course, the fella runners here can give you more valuable insights.

Try out the Saucony Hurricane 10 before making a decision if you are willing to make a comparison. Do let me know.

Mind pm me more details including the price and URL to know more about Saucony H10. Thanks.

eugene: Are you aware of the Setia Alam Fun Run in June 09 (4.8km).

Is Xterra (in Kuantan) something like Tri? I know someone who just signed up.

opsss....I didnt know Klang Pacer is co-organiser....I got the note from MPP Zon21 of Setia Alam Resident.

vishagan: I am a begineer runner but I just bought a pair of shoe. I think Brooks, Saucony, Asics, etc are within your range if you know where to get them. NEVER pay full price.

I just bought Brooks Adrenaline GTS9 (about RM300). I will look at Saucony Hurricane 10 (slightly more tan RM300) in near future as spare/alternative shoe. I was advised that the running shoe needs to rest and breathe as well.

Just google them out for their reviews.....Their website have this shoe advisor to help you to make an informed decision. Try www.brooksrunning.com. There is even an video to explain your running stride, etc.....

Good luck in your search......

ccube will be the suitable guy to answer this query.......

I am not a runner yet. i supposed 10k run is pretty much a battle against yourself......it's all in your mind plus training of course...hehehe....Believe in yourself and you will suceed in doing so.....

yeah...one day...(2-3months later) i will do the same.......

I had tough time looking for NB BB Plaza...it's located on lower ground floor, near the entrace facing the Jln BB. Look for Albert.

Navi - try do a search on this forum. They post beautiful photo of all sort of events.....Terry Fox, Ironman, Thaipusam, Marathon, etc.........

the shoe is great. GTS9 gives me a good fit and hold my feet firmly (for supinator). Been running 4-6-8k....still damn new. I am only a hamster runner (i.e. on treadmill)...yet to see the real world.

I will for sure join you guys one day...must learn from the sifoo.....

I cant tell. I dunnoe how to differentiate.....tell me how to 'feel' the brokening. I have clocked 70-80km on the shoes already.

triple: thanks for sharing. That was pretty enlightening.......

devil/triple/cube/navil/marvin/etc. - let say, we are doing normal 10k run, do we land on the heel OR land flat on the shoe?

what is the lifespan of your shoe? I read in phoenix blog that he only decided to retire his Nike sumthing after like close to 800km.....

Zeist – I think you got it wrong. Shoe is like tyre, it has lifespan. Typically running shoe lifespan is about 500km depending on weight, stride and also surface condition. Moreover, if a runner run everydays, it’s good to rest the shoe so that it has a chance to recuperate.

If one runs 25km per week, to hit 500km, he/she needs 5month….let say got cheat day he/she pontent joggin, lifespan of the shoe should be just 6months.

I am still trying to land on flat. Being a supinator, I have to do it consciously. Hopefully, it become a habit later.....

Cow dung should get you two high and run faster........

hmmm.....below is the video posted by someone earlier....on running and how to land.....

will just stick to landing flat......heel is definitely a no no as it will be playing the role as a brake.
