go cheap gym to cross train, can, but cycling is resources intensive and i think i will injure myself if i do cycling due to my previous addict in speed...not going into this.

You've said it..... im also addicted to speed one.

I don't know how to cycle for long because my back will pain, arms go numb and the nut cannot take it.

That's why folks go for bike fitting. If for foldable bikes, then LL, can do some stuff like riser bar to adjust reach but that's about it. There's no bike frame size to choose one.
Only thing can do is train upper body and back muscles esp the erector spinae muscle (so-called lower back pain which others always complain about) , which i am doing right this very moment.
Coz their core is bloody weak. Actually for runners too, is good.

Hemce, since last year Sep when i started cycling, i never had any neck pain arm pain back pain, zero episodes. Even tho i spend so many hours (approx 20 hrs) on the bike per week. Nothnig of that sort has bothered me, coz before i started cycling i have already started strength training in many areas.


Actually i train strength daily, but alternate days is hit different muscle groups.....once in a while i take 1 off day.
No sweat one, esp for 1 day the push-ups i do in server room (cold mah),
Leg muscles more sparsely, like once or at most twice a week with bands and in conjunction with plyo (single leg pogo mostly), but mostly calfs, glutes and hamstrings only. Calfs i try to do in server room too, the single leg weighted calf raises and single leg pogo jumps.

Now listening to this while training..... shiok.

For me i just read and i do. Not a scientific pro or in this field.......i agree that some may otherwise disagree......but i just know it cannot be bad i dont give excuses here. And REALLY can feel it in cycling, i can 100% guarantee you this.
This experience in cycling really affirms that it can help in running too.....

But there is 1 thing bad about cycling if you get hooked on it.

You really can neglect work and family one.

Know some folks who take half day / MC to go cycling, 4.45-5AM starto liao, 4AM wake up. 9AM at clinic. WTF.
Need to be early coz of road conditions.

Overseas trip they not talking about going with family to Japan, Korea, Europe etc. Is go with cycling kakis to Malaysia, Batam or even Thailand, some are Europe for well-heeled.

edit - heng thing is that my kid also into this...... like tmr, 4-5 hrs in the morning. Evening we go MBS/padang hoot NDP NE1, prob 3 hours. Still trying to get my wife hooked. lol

Looks like normal wear and tear. Just abit too prematurely, considering this is a new shoes. What's the mileage of these shoes?

I think I had ran about 200Km since brought in April

Some more I am more of a mid foot striker.

Durability for outsole is below average in that case. But it's not severe yet, still can run another roughly 100km -200km more. If can use up to 400km for super shoes, is worth it, as they are not known to be super durable.

I think I tried to run with my 1080 V13 next time.

If next time got big discounts for Elite V4 can buy another pair.

Interesting video on sleep and how it affects running by a run coach

I am currently not sleep optimised since ideally should sleep earlier and about 7-8 hours. I did my PBs back in the day where I slept at 12 and wake up at 7.30. Of course, the best is sleep at 10 and wake up at 6.

Trying to adjust my sleep schedule now from 2am > 1am. If possible, perhaps sleep at 12.

When I reached my age, I find myself usually awake by 4 to 5 hours of sleep. Tried supplement like melatonin and magnesium，not helping to get that 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Guess this comes with age as you see those old folks, usually wake up very early in the morning.

just wondering if you all run in the rain and how do you dress for that weather?
