20240503 13degC Nike Epic React Flyknit
Coros:
12.38km @ 7’07” av (1:28:17) HR 149av 160max +
9.01km @10’09” av (1:31:27) HR 128av 156max
Apple:
21.29km @ 8’27” av (2:59:59) HR 138av 163max

within 6 days, i have ran almost 4 HM. This is the most i have ever ran/walked In a week. Body told me to stop running halfway, ended up walking some 4-5km.

A side note on the Nike Epic React Flyknit, which I have retired for walking purpose after using it for more than 4 years. It is a really nice shoe to run on, but must control within 10km. Feels great to the feet, very decent bounce, a good balance between firm and soft. Super stable and light.

Shiok to run there

So cooling in china

Past few days where i am, weather has quite good (except first 2 days, which was like living in the clouds), Sun + Wind. But cold winds from the north can be punishing. My nose has been super painful due to the wind. Sun+Wind, making skin very dry. Was running on a 8km stretch along a breakwater this morning and the wind was super cold, luckily i was wearing a thick fleece sports outer layer which is breathable. Once I reached inland, i was feeling super warm and I have to remove the outer layer.

Not to say her technique no good but seems like mostly apply to sprinters only. Techniques like hop skipping, butt kicking, how to arm swing by beating the drum I think no apply for long distance.

I was wondering how it was like running there

But I will only land on mid foot. I think it helped to lower the energy cause I am super slow jogger

Actually those foot scanners, after the machine tell you which shoes is suitable for, is it confirmed correct one ?

Can use for warm-up pre-run/race, that's about it.
