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?

hello phoenix

i registered for the full marathon, i suppose you're on the ultra? heard that its pretty though with the run on concrete rather than asphalt and ya by the way im from Penang

and oh my current Asics is super worn out now need to get a proper cushioned shoe, No more Asics as the current lines are somewhat bit to heavy for my liking Saucony, Brooks seems to be ok but none of them sells in Penang

you're really doing the ultra! salute you man i dont know if i could last the distance as this will be my first marathon and the next one i hope to complete is at my own backyard Penang Bridge of course, our running season starts only after August its kinda bummed up to get motivated, had to register myself for runs in KL cos of this

Asics DS Series are for racing if im not mistaken, something like Adizero for Adidas..got one pair as well just that im in dire need of a training shoes

thanks CCube for the link ill take a look at it

haha.....the mere thought of running for 84km is just crazy and you're taking part in it! of course must salute you! and yea i managed to get a pair Asics Kayano 15 yesterday to replace my current trainers

just ran about 5km ytd and it really helps with the pronation cant wait to clock in more mileage in it

oh no didnt get it in Qbay but rather at their distro in Komtar. got if off for RM 470 after 20% disc, Asics are known for their cushioning and stability hence their weight but its not too bad la its lighter from what i compared to the earlier Kayano series, unfortunately cant have the best of both of worlds i barely felt pain after i finished the 5k though you might wana compare for urself though the diff between this and the earlier series

hey phoenix...not all Asics are expensive, other Asic lines like Asic GT-Series, Cumulus, Nimbus,Fortitude all are priced reasonably well though but of course to each their own, i wanted to try other brands before i got my current trainer but better stick with a brand that i know works well with me feet i sound so like a Asics fanboy...

Fastwitch 3 is a racer isnt it? hope it provides enough cushioning for your ultra though and ya what trainers ure using currently?

ccube tragically im in Penang...if not i'd definitely try on those pair of Saucony's you're selling...still having small issue's in breaking into the current Asics, i ran just about under 10k on my old trainers yesterday but i barely reached 5k today on the new ones....bad bad bad and still not fully prepared for the marathon will be hitting the gym later from some hard-core workouts

KL Mara is up for reg cant believe my eyes when i saw the site..though still not sure if im gonna run 21k or 42k...its about 1 month to be exact from Sundown Mara

hey guys about the penang bridge run...if worse case scenario if there are no counters open in KL for registration, or if the online registration does'nt go thru i can help to register directly over the counter when it opens here in penang...

hey scoop youre' from penang? awesome

want to go running in Botanicals?

try looking for brooks, they do have a shop in The Curve..but if style is what youre looking for then Nike or Adidas is the way to go...how much is your budget btw?

hey metalfreak just saw ur blog that you posted in your workout journal....awesome! too bad im in penang if not ill definitely be joining you guys for the run on weekends...and tragically i have to run alone everytime yes that includes the LSD in the morning's ..no kaki here in penang and even my friends arent into running.


Navilink, did you manage to get your NIKE?

nice! started on your training already?

hey scoop! wah USM so near my place normally tuesday's are my speedwork , followed by Thursday and either Sat or Sun for long runs....i normally start from Botanicals, hey wait do you happen to be a member to Priority Fitness in Bukit Gambir? talk further in PM

@dmm9394

your feet type seems to be normal looks like your left feet pronates outward..but you can only tell for sure if you go for a foot scan can be done in Gardens or Pavillion KL other places im not too sure, shoe's wise yes please get proper trainers first before moving onto racers since you have the voucher try testing the Brooks GTS 9

and guys i was just wondering whats your resting period after you LSD days say for example u do a 20KM on saturday, how soon after that you guys for for next run? and yes it would be helpful it any post could let tell what's your post running meal ? complex carbs like rice?

I normally take a banana post running and half cup of Oats and thats it, i normally run evening on the weekdays so i do take pretty heavy lunch to compensate ( rice, chicken, egg, vege) the normal ecomony rice stuffs...

Brooks are more known and popular in the States i did use brooks once, friends one that is... just to test it out, pretty responsive but i feel the sole is somewhat harder than the others that ive ran on Asics Adidas NB, and if you ask me why its so popular i honestly dont have a clue, ill take Asics over Brooks any day

damn Hardcore you man! I cycle 13K on my non running days already can feel my thighs tighten the next day for my run...although its a nice feeling to have cant imagine doing 120 and running the day after are you training for some triathlon?

couple of months back yea rite dont be so modest...even of your brick days your workout seems to be detailed, cannot run long distance everyday also are you going for the NB 15k?

hey guys!

great news!

Malakoff 26Km Penang is confirmed on 7th June 09!

anyone coming up?

Frank aka phoenix our threadstarter rite? i wonder where is he he rarely posts in here anymore i could understand the disbanding of the club but did he quit the forum too?
