Has anyone had experience with cheap insoles? Do they actually work?

Saw this video as well. These girls and guys damn solid.

Recently I enjoy running like how they breakup their runs.

Eg.

2km easy
2km x 1 fast
1km x 2 fast
300m x 4 faster
80m x 4 sprint

Results not bad at all. Couple weeks back when there's cool weather, did 10km at 5.30 pace. Fastest 10k in recent years.

Some more is controlled at moderate Zone 3. Not tired.

Did not notice average pace near the end. Otherwise would have chiong last km below 4.40 to bring down timing.

Gonna continue with such runs. Feels more shiok.

They are still missing the runner's PB/SB times and also recovery time. I realised Tempo doesn't always go into this, so it makes it harder to breakup their runs. This kind of data is important because it allows you to extrapolate their workouts into your training based on your current fitness. Track All Access usually does this for each of their videos, so it's easier to understand how fast to execute the workouts.

Maybe can just try fartleks then.

It'd probably work to make the shoe feel better for longer walking during shopping/tours.

 

[WussRedXLi]

do we have support for such sports school?

I think higher chance for exemplarary performance is self funded well-to-do ASK who has the iron in him/her.
Then do specific high quality coaching esp from overseas. Self funded.

Then the mind must be a bit sot sot one and very set in what he/she wants. Not the normal kind of thinking.
Even gotta have a stubborn mentality if you will, in a good way.

See Valecia Tan below. She was eating wind at the front for the last 4 rounds, if not she just might have enough ATP to sprint more and get gold. Serious accident already and parental say to cut it she still continued.

I bought several insoles and switched insoles from other shoes.

These cheaper insoles are okay for walking or slow runs. Usually very thick so when slotted into shoe, not much space left. Become tight fitting.

I prefer Qiaodan Plaid 2 insole. Thin, bouncy and cost less than SG$10.

DAWN RUN
previously felt abit discomfort on one of my left toes when i ran long distance. Today did a slow 20km and one of the left toes bled in my 小鲶. Have to use a thinner socks. Despite this, shoe felt very good cruising in slow runs for long durations.
2 days ago also did a 6km with a range of speed from 8min/km to 3:30min/km and the 小鲶 responded very well. Walking after the run also felt good. Will try a long distance run when i am back in SG during CNY to know better in warmer conditions.

Heh.....not sure who would think Everesting would be an ok endurance race challenge to try.

The amt of calories for a 70kg is probably around 5 times that of a full marathon.
So basically if you are using gels, you'd need to prep 5 times the amount of gels / bananas (and probably at least 1 or 2 light sized real meal, eg 1 decent sized soba or instant noodles).
Havent even touched on the mental aspect.

小鲶 outsole wearing off after 90km due to my supination issues. Left is worse than right, which the former is totally flattened and the midsole foam has been worn off slightly.

For sharing. Nike alphafly 3 is available at IMM and eligible for discount. 2 for 50% off.

My pair of 361 eleos already seeing some wear and tear around the out sole after clocking around 100km on it. Kinda surprised as i been using it only for slower paced runs.

Probably going to hoot 1 more pair of china shoes before year end and considering between Li-ning 飞电5 Challenger and Bmai 惊碳Fly Plus. Any users of these 2 shoes can comment? Dynafish 小鲶 is quite readily available now in all sizes and colorways at their taobao official store but cant ship outside of china(the change to china address and change back to sg address trick doesnt work) so have to use 3rd party forwarder.
