How much did you get it for? Ship to China?

bought in China, not cheap (close to S$200) but its probably the last few pairs of the colors i like and want in my size in the entire China stocks
if buy in overseas ship into China too troublesome and will be taxed. not worth the trouble and wait unless getting really unique design and have convenient return policies.

out of curiosity, what is the lowest possible price in SG?

800m warm up

10 x 400m track

20.01.64

800m warm down

Got stitch and heart ache again. Not so sure if it's because running with my watch and feeling the pressure of the time. Might run w/o a watch and see how it pens out.

Heartache?? play it safe.

Not running......but i find it still interesting to see how others pace and strategise

For SG price, got to wait til PRO and speed 4 to release, than the 3 series might have good discount during one of those 11.11, 12.12, 6:18..etc sales. Also by then, colorways and sizes will be limited. Lucky for me, I really don't care about colorways. Thats why my shoes some are bright colors and some dull and dark colors. There's no consistency in the colors of my shoes if one would like to guess my taste for colors.

I saw 231 before, colours and size depends but still ok around 2 - 3 months ago at that price. Online laz price. Not sure abt retail clearance outlets tho. I got it for 243 i think, before it dropped to 231 a week after.

But if given a chance again, i'll just get the PLAID instead of Pro 3. If want Saucony shoes then get the Speed 3.
I put on Speed 3 and Pro 3 on 1 leg each and run, the difference is rather small, though i think you'd prefer the upper of the Pro 3 during Summer months. For me no diff.

For walking and cycling, strength training..... 155 bpm

re. 乔丹, i did a comparison between Plaid and pb3.0, still prefer pb3.0 for its firmer ride
on saucony, tried both speed 3 and pro 3 when i was in SG in june, didn't like the extended plate on the outer side which feels awkward on my left feet. then i was thinking of buying speed 3 to replace my original speed with worn out heel.

am super particular on colorways and matching. bo bian
if wait till 12.12 sale, most likely cannot get the colorway and size.

For the last week SCSM, I saw at least 3 runners wearing QD Plaids. QD does have a decent size of users here in SG.

Yeah....that explains it. For me i gravitate towards softer feeling ones.

Wah...really got people buy/wear for races. Notch bad. Tot too obscure a brand, esp here in very brand conscious SG.

But to those who have worn it, it's basically pretty similar to an Alphafly, but minus the weight. (Plaid is very close to 200g for say US10).

Haven't told you I saw two runners wearing QD singlet with ventilated holes.

I wore the UTO ultra light singlet. This is better race singlet than the Asics one. But I don't think it's durable.

i wish i can enjoy softer midsoles but my weak right ankle says NO

yes i think qiaodan Plaid and pb3.0 are really value for money. Good to know plaid is similar to alphafly and to me pb3.0 is somewhere in between aap3 and takumi sen 9

If your hands itchy, can try out Rocket X 2 in the stores. Softer than Endorphin Pro 3, and more energy return. Quite similar in rocker geometry. I wore it @ AHM.

Only issue is that it's too bloody expensive without a special sale. That time i only got it @ 40% disc, if not wont get. (also need to purchase its bloody expensive running top @ 82 original price iirc, but got 40% disc so it went down to $50.....but that top is very good, super fast dry among all my stuff coz it's pretty thin, and yet comfy /smooth enough....so very very good cooling effect)
