getting out of the house in your jogging/exercise gears is a good start.

any of you have shoe recommendations for wide feet ? have already busted holes in two consecutive pairs of SAF emart NB running shoes within 9 months each, the latest one a wide variant...

- hole always on the right shoe, where the little toe is
- 5 to 8km each run, either on treadmill or outdoor PCN/pavement
- at least four runs a week
- BMI around 24

Since the hole is in the upper, and it's a small hole, the structure of the upper still holds. I still think you can carry on running in that shoes.

Actually what causes heat rashes? I never had this all this problem so didn't research much.
If it cause my abrasion, like groin or nipple, which I had kenna before, I will rub some petroleum jelly on the affected area before the run.
If cause by heat, can consider those light weight singlet with ventilated holes. Asics series is the Actibreeze, Nike is Aeroswift. I have a few Asics Actibreeze cause I sweat alot and need breathable singlet. Very light weight.

Cheaper option is to wait for 6:18, 11.11, 12.12 or whatever tao bao sales and get from Qiaodan, Nedao, UTO.

I still don't know if the above will solve your heat rash. I had them or different reason, i.e. light weight and high breathability.

Heat rash develops when a duct that leads from a sweat gland to the surface of the skin is blocked or inflamed. This then blocks the opening of the sweat duct on the surface of the skin (sweat pore). Instead of evaporating, sweat is trapped beneath the skin, causing irritation and bumps on the skin.

That's what i read from above. I suspect I had it because I was too heated during my threshold run. the singlet didn't manage to wick the sweat away (?) and i didn't bathe immediately after cooldown (?). Another cause that I read is friction which honestly the new SAF Armor singlet - black one (that's my formation) is not the most comfortable material. It makes my skin itch some times when I get too warm. I prefer the old white Armor singlet but it's not longer in e-mart.

I have it all over back, groin and thigh area. I have some on armpits, arm and knee too but it's the back that is irritating me the most.

Thanks for the tip, i will buy like one or two and see if it works for me.

Think try any wide size pair of shoes. ASICS has wide sizes, eg 2E. Even 4E but that is very wide.

If not can aim ASICS Novablast 3.....even normal 2D is decently wide. Not sure if current Novablast 4 in 2D size is decently wide but most likely it is. ASCIS cutting mostly decently wide one, maybe except their racers.

Last year CNY eve, CNY 1 and CNY 2 my wife and kid and I all walking/running.

This year will be same, but i think i will go cycle on the roads at 5am. With lots of lights, no less. Shd be safe enough + no drunks. After that then go visiting.
Actually i am contemplating to cycle from my place to Tampines for 1 visitation (uncle's). Just that will be in dry fit attire (just wear red lol)

Same for Xmas eve, XMAS and NY morning. But that time i did not do road cycling. And just that the Xmas eve a bit regret coz stuck in the crowds and really gave my core a workout (balancing at super slow speeds)

Zero excuses. Just no life.

Kipchoge wants to have a word with you. Lucky I listen to the master and gotten my easy runs for the last three days.

If you have clocked enough runs during the hot spell of the year, you will appreciate the weather we have for these last two months.

Isn't this the Tg pagar incident where three guys were burnt to death. Then one of the girlfriend tried to safe them, but kenna burnt herself.
