from my limited experience with spikes. spikes also divided into sprint or distance. distance is for 800m upwards and has more cushioning, sprint spikes are a different matter. I see I also scared
have only run in distance spikes and they have a bit more cushioning. you are up on your forefoot but your heel will also "kiss" the ground during the gait cycle.
first few runs takes getting used to and for body to adapt. Can definitely feel in calves, achilles and plantar fascia

quite correct. but even for distance running from 800m onwards, runners use forefoot to run most of the time. Those who are not well trained or getting tired will inevitably have heel contact. In general, those who use forefoot only usually have shorter contact time.

Tongiht if i ride to Sentosa or MBS, i dont think i can get out that easily, be it by pavement and/or road.

Leave till tomorrow morning 6am go ride MBS area and see all the drunkards lying on the floor (usually of South Asian descent). Or those teenager groups who just choose to stay overnight coz trying to get out really is waste time. Coz impossible to clear everyone by MRT after midnight.

Then by 7am can see many more people running for the new year and setting so-called new year running resolutions.

have fun with your new year ride

Not really sure about running. But for my kid, i know his recovery ability is really fast. Sometimes after long distance cycling, i feel fatigue, he feels tired as well. Then evening time or even the next day (eg Sunday) i still fatigue and so my pace for long distance need to slow down to around 26-28kmh if not i really feel that i could injure myself or my muscles or something (or possibly so fatigued by the end of everything that the recovery stage after that is very long and hence unproductive). He still tells me he feels good and fresh and can go another round.
hah....

Young kids, battery recharge very fast one.

Happy new year 2026 .

Did a long run just now after checking wed 4d result! Wanted to do a 30km but in the end. Only 27km. But at least it was 1km more than my previous 26km done 2 weeks ago. I believe I didnt eat enough before that and also didn't consume any gel during the run. Just depend on plain water at 11km, 21km and 25km.

Despite out of 6 weeks due to injury . I still managed to clock almost 1500km in 2025. More than what I ran in 2024. I hope this year I can hit 2000km. Stay injury free and do a full marathon.

Strava year end report. This year major changes is the bicycle rides. All of them are low intensity NEAT activities used for errands. Most of us runners are what they call Active Couch Potato. Basically we are active for the run like 1 hour. But become sedentary for the rest of the day. Increasing NEAT with bike for neighborhood errands is a good way to make the day having more Active hours.

My last minute 2025 year end hoot a pair of Xiaonian and a pair of Feidian 5C for total ~$130. Honestly i have enough shoes to probably last me for the next 3 years so my new years resolution will be to resist the temptation of buying anymore running shoes.

Happy new year everybody and hope everyone stay free from injuries to achieve your fitness goals.

would like to seek advice - will be going for xray and see doc if can remove splint.

if doc gives the ok, then do you all think I should go for the occupational therapy in afternoon since splint can be removed?

feel that this OT is waste money. First meeting charge me $80 plus after subsidy for the scaphoid splint and orthosis fitting / assessment

More on the zoseo shoes.

Weight is 425 grams in size 42

could feel there is some hot spots on the right big toe of the shoe, will try more to see if it can be used for long distance, as i start to have shin splints after 7-10km for most shoes.

Better to go for OT because your injured part(cast or splint) is inactive for a long time.

During army time I had operation and cast. After cast removed, the hand become like frozen.

OT will train you to reactivate and strengthen the injured part.

Also if your work and daily life require specific movement, OT will teach you how to better regain those activities.

425g for size 42 is very heavy

425g for size 42 is very heavy

Ya, I would say shocking heavy. Now with the advancement of supercritical foam shoes, even max cushion shoes at my size 46, 300g I already very reluctant to consider.

Edit, I realized he weighs two shoes together. @Sadisticnoob . Am I seeing your picture correctly? Two shoes at 425g, then it is fine.

good observation. if a pair is 425g, one shoe is less than 215 which is pretty good.

Bro, dont think about it liao. I have nothing to say about 425g EU42. Just buy china shoes can liao.
This one maciam like aleoca road baisikal and you find that you are someone who is performance oriented and you wanna bring it over the causeway to climb Malaysia's hills/mountains.

If dont wanna waste too much money Just go for like 3 sessions to have an idea and ask (indirect) questions on what are they trying to do and achieve. Unfortunately, some of the older more lao jiao esp private ones do not like to do that, conflict of interest, and they know what you are trying to squeeze out. Your leg's tan lines might already be a give away even if you do not explicitly tell them what happened.

Usually, it is pretty easy one, in fact too easy for quite a few of us and we have been doing way tougher/advanced/broader stuff.

Oh chey......then ok lah. I was thinking, there is no way it can be 425g, since TB EVA school shoes costing less than rmb 100 also less than 425g for 1pc nowadays.
