This kind of route is suicidal. Heng no cars, if not kena hit also dont know what happened.
One triathlete was RIPed in USA a few weeks ago in a similar fashion, forgot what ironman course. Roads were so-called "closed" but in reality it was not sufficiently enforced with resources (cones/barriers, volunteers) and some parts were unlit.

Solution is to run with blinking small light. Runners / cyclists / triathletes sometimes really like to wear all black.
And ultimately also depends, if athlete bonk and delirious already and ran out of course, also LLST.

edit - interesting, some runners in the video really got put on blinkers. Smart. I think got experience before.

Brought my 9U for 5x7 mins interval (4:30 pace) yesterday and just finished 11k easy (target around 6:15 pace).

Several times during the easy run, I inadvertently went faster than the target pace. End up finishing at average of 6 mins pace. Think you're right, the shoe wants you to bounce and go faster

any instability at 6min pace? what's your weight and footstrike?
when i tried in store.. other than the very tall stack height and stiff forefoot. It did not feel wobbly standing and walking.

This type is called self-presevation skills ba.

this is the race I was in, thought I share a part of my city with everyone here. Race start time is at 6:55am ish, 8 degrees celsius, elevation around 1050m

It happened to me at scsm 2025 too. Mine was after half though. Walked the rest of the way. Both legs cramp up until thigh

I had 8km to walk, was kinda thinking how to walk for 8km at this state. You had a bigger problem than me, waseh 21km.... this is the first time I kana cramps like that, I don't usually get it. I thought I will just lose focus and get lazy.

Girls from Lulelemon were cheering for me, I just got nothing in me to start running lol. I end up getting selfie with them.

i saw the facial expression in the early morning watching the replay of the race summary on youtube. Quite hilarious expression but salute to him to give his all. Subsequent videos showed many teammates actively acknowledging his effort either by pouring water over him, patted on his back etc.

Part of the domestique's job also....

I actually walked the last 3.6km of a 10k race (Army half marathon and safra bay run) at around 6 min pace. ITBS triggered at around 6.4k mark or so and i could not even bend my right knee at all, coz someone cut into my line suddenly and i had to jam brake at Bay East Garden part at around 4:00 flat pace. But at least still got below 50 mins.

Heng for around 1.5 years previously before i began running, i was trained in racewalking. Trained until i could racewalk for 2.4k at 12:30 mins which was my goal then, so at least got use.

But even then, with racewalking gait, it was a wee bit painful, so dared not push it to 5:00-5:30 pace, which is my racewalking "race pace" at threshold/VO2max ish. Coz racewalk still need to bend a wee wee bit....that's where the pain is, the bending of the knee.

For elite women, they racewalk at 4:30 pace at 35km distance. A bit lower for 20k distance.

The energy expenditure for racewalking 50km is something like running 2 times full marathon distance.
But nowadays i think no more 50km, they scraped it for various reasons.

That means really slow walk sia.

My 84 year old father fast walks at 8:00+ pace.

I couldn't break 20 mins

Didn't feel any instability. I'm at 79 kg midfoot to heel strike

He said the 9U is unstable according some people. But he himself find it alright.
I have stopped looking at 9U ever since I got the 361 LF SL. AL the bounce of the ecapulated foam, don't really like it from my 6e first experience. But see how in the future as I put more mileage into the 6e, hopefully can get use to the bounce.

I got a 6e as well. Only used twice, once for a test interval session, another for 5k time trial. That one can be a bit unforgiving at slower pace

watch a ton of review of 9u on bilibili this afternoon. highly polarising...
it seems most of the folks that don't like it are forefoot strikers. heel and midfooters seems ok.
I don't really need a max stack or bouncy shoe. It's just that the price has dropped alot and me being a cheap skate .

this morning during run saw a young lady wearing a bright red pair of 6e doing 7" pace.... i hope she was just warming up

i hope they lelong v1... I will go grab
v1 upper is near perfect to me. the main complain against v1 upper was too breathable, fit is too snug (race fit) and not suitable for wear out go kai kai..... all the negatives they list all my positives
they all want LF SL to look like evo sl .....
