jogging and motivation thread

DNF my run this morning. maybe its the heat.. maybe it's just mental fatigue. stopped at merlion less than 10k into run. got a drink and sat at merlion steps for quite a while looking at the world go by and then took bus home.
as they say 明天会更好

Sunday also, easy 2 hours but 1.5 hours in I was like dying liao due to heat or what. I slogged the last 30 mins but HR was alarming for the pace haha

I run in the morning.. so its almost always like 85+% upwards
the bright side is that most if not all of the regular runners here are all heat and humidity acclimatized. Low risk of heat stress related injuries

@sph777

BTW, Tokyo also relatively warm this year. Not really good to PB......... I mean, since it's gonna be like 2k SGD+ that one is gonna spend for overseas FM.

1155h reached 17 and 1255h reached 18 deg C. Start 0910h. RH% i cant find but i think shd be 40-50% range.

Bruh stop with the price drop already........lucky quota sold out before i decide to get a backup pair even before my 1st pair left china port......heart pain price drop by around SGD$20 in a matter of one week.

Could see below 400rmb by 6.18...........

Wow. Can consider buy as walking shoe. Sounds crazy but I enjoy wearing Redhare for walking over running.

But atm, I self poison myself with this Runsifly shoe. PEBA midsole, soft, bouncy, fast.

If Redhare 9U drops below 400rmb then its well worth getting a backup pair. Li Ning SG store still selling at $199 and their shopee store $239........at that price can buy Feidian 6E online with spare change. My main worry is sizing because i have a pair of Feidian 5C and the length of the shoe and the toe box is noticeably smaller than other chinese brands.

Ya hope drop more then I will get as backup.

Sizing should be fine as long as your feet are not overly wide like 4E.

Western brands I wear size 10 2E or 10.5/11D. Mostly buy size 44 for China shoes.

This Redhare at 44 has ample width and length. Not tight.

For muslim women in this thread........

Can be done.
No excuses.

Did another 12k easy run this morning... cloudy but can still feel the heat and humidity. Personally the hardest part is stepping out the door to run. Can always shorten or slow your pace.

edit - but tbh bloody dangerous on the treadmill (for the bottom part)
I think just safer to run @ PCN or track.

Is this legit? I always buy from official store at a premium. I know of stores offering at a discount but a bit wary haha

yeah, I ran slower but the hr went up by a lot even with the slower pace. Now just need to get used to the humidity again.

Cant say with 100% certainty. All these listings are stated as "涂码和取芯片" which translate to removal of labels or tracking chips. Essentially, Li Ning enforces strict price control on their authorized resellers. These resellers, in order to sell at lower than allowed prices and not be caught, will remove any labels containing sku or batch codes which can tracked back to the sellers themselves.

Heres where it gets kinda murky. Some unscrupulous sellers might use high quality fakes and claim them to be authentic but 涂码和取芯片 stock. Risk factor will be there if you want to buy at cheaper than rrp enforced by Li Ning. Previously i got my pair of Feidian 5C from a reseller on taobao which state "涂码和取芯片" but what i received was with all the labels intact. At worst, if really suay suay receive a pair of fakes then just file for refund on the respective apps.

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

Just to add on, can watch this video and decide whether worth the risk or not

Supposedly the tracking chip is well hidden and removal might affect how the whole shoe feels. Scare tactics or not.....up to ownself to decide.

KLSCM anyone? Didn’t know it’s so popular among their locals. Compared to our own SCSM haha

Wah scary. Thanks for sharing.

Think my next Feidian 6E will buy direct from LiNing.

Few days ago on Lazada, can get the price to $229 with coins.
