A good running, jogging, walking shoes will hv the impact on your running, jogging or walking?

Especially speed n distances that will not make your feet n toes uncomfortable in the long distance?

If the toes feel uncomfortable. Probably the shoe width is too narrow or u have to change to a thinner sock.

for long walks and hikes, would recommend wearing waterproof shoes...

Unfortunately. There is not much GTX shoes in singapore. Went to Japan this year and saw this asics pulse 15 gtx and bought it .

I bought this gel pulse gtx mainly for walking only. Cost less than $120. I find gtx running shoes is better and lighter to walk rather than GTX hiking shoes. Hiking shoes are even HARDER to find a wide width shoe.

I suggest u can take a look at asics Nimbus where it comes with extra wide or super wide width.

I am a bit more than casual type of runner . Don't mind pay a bit more of suitable shoe for walking and running.

Sifan VTEC spoil

Or more likely she didnt realise Chebet and Kipyegon this time got bring VTEC also.

Sifan still has to consider her 10km and FM coming up. Podium is good enough.

I "train" 20+ hrs also........but note the quotes. Mostly junk miles junk hours i believe.

Anyway my belief is that train that much with slowly ramping it up and progressive loading getting used to it is fine.
Only issue is, can recover enough or not, in which non-pros with a day job and home-office-home commute duration simply would not be able to, with the limited non-working hours......
(that's also why i use commuting as part of my training)

These top level pros literally have everything set up for them......they just do the program can liao, no time and effort wasting overheads.

@Kuudere His mental quite power. I also pei fu him. If he can recover good enough, he can go far.

Actually beginning to like 1500m more and more.

Maybe can try a bit more this distance in time to come.

just went jogging today, first time in like 15 years.

Jog for 1.4km, took 10+ mins and I almost died.

Felt giddy and my hands abit numb, had to stop.

I think jogging not suitable for me...

Toe injury again after yesterday speed session. This is like the 3rd time since 2022 SCSM I first experience turf toe injury. Checking with image on internet, the location could be nearer to the joint at the metatarsal first joint.

Got to skip today's long run and see tomorrow how is it, if can proceed with easy run.

1st time after 15 years like that is expected. Body need to adapt gradually over a time period of weeks or months, then you won't have all these symptoms. Just don't push too hard in the beginning.
