Thanks for sharing. Damn looks like a good excuse to try back zero drop shoes. I really like NB Minimus last time.

Well, yeah.....and also toe spring + taper one of the causes of the issue. ie current deisgn athletic race type running shoes. Unless you go wide toe box. But im not an expert on all these, but since you/me not spending huge amounts of time in the race type running shoes it shd be alright.

But it's the same, you zero drop it (and nowadays our latest popular running shoes where got super low drop or zero drop one) , you still need to make sure got enough strength overall for the usual muscles. If not it just causes the issue to shift to the achilles.

Moral of the story, for those susceptible due to various reasons, need to do strengthening, and add plyo.

Ya I will work on the strengthening. Thanks for sharing the squat uni video.

60m world indoors finals

Two guys got injured leh

6 x 10 sets of box jumps and drop jumps (3 sets of each). The rest within sets is 15s and between sets is 2 min. >> Took me about 25-26 minutes to complete them all. Possible to do without rest to raise HR up, but legs will probably hurt a lot more the next day.

I was talking to a few colleagues who were ex sprinters. Shorter distances apparently easier to get injured.

thank you for the heads-up. i intend to run on 1st day CNY. Should have bought an Ang Gong Gong red running top just for this.

Actually if u plan to run MBS (where I run almost everyday), just go out a bit earlier, usually even until 6.30 plus also not very crowded

yah, my first run was before the sun came out, less people seen running around MBS.
I guess yesterday was weekend and it was later which is normal that more people were running.
i hope i can sleep early tonight to get out before 6.30am tomorrow

Just go TB and get any of the running t-shirts since you are starting. If you dont mind and have decent arm muscles can try singlets. After that if you think you are really into it then get really branded/better stuff if you require.

I can recommend this, this is my bread n butter workhorse and i must have purchased like more than a dozen total for my whole family as well to use. I wear to office, wear to hawker/NTUC, wear for my workouts...though i must say they are usually not more than 30 mins + i am not a heavy sweater from what i can see out there.
Cheap n good, nothing fancy but quality is more than good enough.
The blue colour is very very nice. White colour also very safe to get, goes well.

If wanna look more "pro" (more just towards the branding) :
Nedao brand is good and extremely popular in China as well and i also see some locals starting to wear this nowadays, but lots of colour OOS now, and you need to change your default addr to a chinese one first before you can add to cart, then change back to SG for direct ship or other options when checking out.
Anyway, is not very expensive also lah.

The baby blue is quite unique to be honest. You dont see this colour often over here in SG.

Nedao fansee spotted.

But nowadays for us here, need to change default addr to CN, then checkout that time change back to SG addr. All these i prefer direct ship, so no troubles fuss free. Last time no need.

I chime in. I wear mostly vented holes singlet. Those western brand are expensive. From Tao bao, I got brands from Qiaodan, UTO, Nedao, Flipbelt. All about similar quality as western brand and they weigh only 45 to 60 gram for L or XL. I have 4 UTO singlets that weight under 30 grams, but I can't find them anymore.. Quick dry and most importantly is they don't hold as much sweat as most generic polyester singlets, very drippy. So end result is they don't get heavy at full sweat saturation, the rest of the sweat just drip down.

Go safra emart buy those SAF unit singlet. Cheap and quality decent. Quickdry effect is ok-ish but i find the sweat tend to get wicked and stays at the bottom of the singlet. If you not BBFA, i recommend searching for this kind of singlet on local or china ecommerce platforms.

Material very thin, comfortable and full of holes for ventilation. Quickdry effect is superb.

is this suitable for home?what do you think for sg hdb context?
