What do you think is the best running shoe in the market today

 

You could try Asics or Brooks.

I wonder why we don't have a running thread here. I was supposed to start this thread in health and fitness but wth this should be in the sports board.

So tell me...

1. How long have you been running?

2. What are your running essentials?

3. What's your next race? Current PR?

4. Your running goals.

5. What made you decide to run?

Sorry so many questions. Haha. Feel free to post away runners!

[Guest schinina]

1. I'll be celebrating my first year anniv with running on September and will be celebrating it by shifting to another category 15k!

2. Aside from shoes. Sunblock. Sunvisor. Shuffle.

3. Next race is Rexona Run! Current PR 1hr and 12 min in 10k.

4. Current running goal is to do Half Mary on Condura Run!

5. Not really sporty and athletic at all but I wanted to start getting active, decided to run because in running you just run - no special skills needed, no need to learn this and that but as time goes by you'll eventually learn there's a proper form pala, there's economy running pala etc. etc.

[Guest schinina]

1. Since 1996

2. Running kit, racing flats, and low profile running trainers

3. Next race? heck if I know. 45 min 10K on an ITU distance Tri, I think 38 minutes on a regular 10km run

4. No goals, its just "run forrest, run!"

5. Its the cheapest exercise option available

 

Impressive PR Sir! Hope I can be as good! I don't wanna be running like a girl on a sea of MAMAW guys!

1. How long have you been running?

-1 and a half years

 

2. What are your running essentials?

-less than 15km: running shoes, shorts, shirt, HRM + GPS watch

-more than 15km: all of the above plus water belt

 

3. What's your next race? Current PR?

-none planned yet. Runs are getting expensive, so have to choose which ones to join. Besides, having a GPS watch gives you the freedom to run any course and let it tell you how well you're doing. It tells you the distance covered, time and running pace. No need for marshalls or race organizers. But running in a race with plenty of participants gives you an adrenaline rush and better race results.

-5km: 0:30; 10km: 1:08; 15km 1:49 Still have lots of room for improvement

 

4. Your running goals.

-finish 21km in less than 2:30mins by December 2011.

-go for a full marathon within the next 2 years.

 

5. What made you decide to run?

-Health reasons. Running reduces blood pressure, blood sugar, uric acid and a whole lot of other stuff that if one were sedentary, he'd have to take so much medicine. Running is relatively cheaper than popping pills to keep the body healthy.

1. How long have you been running?

5K- 23m; 10K- 52m

4. Continue to be a serious 10K runner; run a half-marathon before I reach age 45

5. Health and wellness; relieve stress and keep fit/trim

[Guest schinina]

You guys, looking at your PRs making me feel like a loser. Haha.

[togalabz]

+1. No need to rush into things, lest you get injured. Its important to get ur base mileage first, speed will follow. focus on technique. darating din yan. a few intervals and speed workouts wouldn't hurt either..

You improve fast (for a guy that took this hobby/sports for the last 15 months only)...Congrats!

[floppydrive]

Agree with Mach83 and Togalabz!

 

With proper training and discipline, you'll be able to improve your time, if that's what you're targetting. Some people like to do short runs and work on getting faster. Some people want to do ultramarathons and it's a whole lot different from running fast short distances. I'd suggest you set a goal and work towards it.

Thanks Sir! I learned it the hardway early on. I got injured by going for too much too soon. Took me months to recover from ITBS. Recovered slow and took advice from friends and more experienced runners. Now i cross-train (swim and bike) instead of AM/PM runs. haha! I also mix it up with speed workouts and hill training. But more importantly is to just have fun..
