Managed to find a even cheaper deal on adidas adios pro 3 at sport depo Shinjuku .cost about 17000++ yen after tax rebate which is about $150. Ended up i bought another pair there.

Sport depo also have Nike alpha fly and vapour fly. Cost range from 32000 to 38000 yen there. I The only "super shoe" that I interested that are not available at the shop is NB fuelcell rebel elite and Saucony endorphin speed 4 pro.

I also tried Asics s4+ yogiri. The older colour is having sale at 14000 yen and unfortunately it didn't have any sizes . Tried The latest colour and my usual size is snug fit and I upsized half size bigger and ended up the shoe too long and so give up buying that

If search hard enough. U could get a novablast 5 less than 15000 yen there.

Probably not the best shoe for heel strikers, many other options out there. Am also a heel striker when i am tired and also with ankle issues, tried running around in the Nike shop for awhile, actually felt ok imo.
My next buy is between this Nike Zoomfly 6 vs BMAI 惊碳3.0Turbo

Happy New Year everyone. May all of us have more fun and enjoyment in our runs and any activities/processes relating to our runs.

A quick share on what i have found out in reddit regarding running shoes brands in China.

BMAI 惊碳3.0 has an ATPU midsole by Shincell (same company that makes midsoles for DNE3, AP3/4, and other high performance racing shoes) with sheet foam. Due to Shincell’s lack of production capacity, BMAI updated the model to 惊碳3.0 Turbo with a PEBA molded foam midsole from Guosheng (same factory as the Endorphin Elite 1).

QIAODAN 飞影Plaid 1/1.5 uses TPEE from a manufacturer known as DMN, who made ASICS FFturbo+ that is used on Metaspeed Edge/Sky Paris and BROOKS DNA Gold on Hyperion MAX PB.

i am still trying to hoot 5 min for the mile (just the last part of his training, but his is 4 min mile)....damn hard to reach.
IIRC 3:06 pace or something. Not for 1 km, but 1.609.

If you want to run 5 min mile, you need to at least be able to run 2.4km in 7:38.

Garmin users here never kenna boot loop issue?
https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2025/01/garmin-watches-are-crashing-when-trying-to-start-gps.html

My Forerunner 265 kenna stuck at triangle screen when turned on this morning as i wanted to go for a run. Garmin official solution is to hard reset the device but if you dont want to do a hard reset(and re-setup), then try this fix to see if works for you.

Hold the light button so it stops rebooting, connect to the pc while holding the start button. Wait for it to show up as a device on your pc (might take a few tries). Open the device via explorer, navigate to Garmin/remoteSW, and remove that folder (backup just in case). Remove the watch, it should boot up and be useable (as long as you don't start activities) without factory resetting etc.

Interesting insight on the supercritical foam used by china branded shoes. TPEE, used by Qiaodan and adidas tends to be firmer than Peba. Apparently they can be tweaked to be softer in the PLaid 1.5 and the new Adios Pro 4 based on reports and reviews.
Think I might add Bmai Turbo into my wish list along with Plaid 2.0 from the 2nd half of the year shopping for race shoes.

Yesterday went to railway corridor for a jog.
Nobody, only see few walkers and cyclists.
Completed 6km at a very slow pace of 9km+ / hr...took 58 min to complete.

Good price for a racing shoes. Waiting to hear your test on them.

He running at 4:15, is just as 'siong' as we doing brisk walking.

If you want to run 5 min mile, you need to at least be able to run 2.4km in 7:38.

Oh ... if based on that yardstick, no wonder still feeling a bit off target.
Anyway it's just for fun.... 1 mile neither here nor there (not short not long)

 

[WussRedXLi]

I think 5 min mile lagi more elusive, even for very very very serious (amateur) local runners.
I am very sure these fellas trained and ran their guts out.
2024 Pocali 2.4

1. Shaun Goh : 6:53.90 2. Pravin Kumar Bohara : 6:54.44 3. Jon Lim Chun Kai : 6:58.47 4. Darren Chong : 7:12.13 5. Najib Mooiz : 7:16.06 6. Kang Meng Heng: 7:18.27 7. Siva Sanker : 7:20.20 8. Joshua Yeow : 7:21.89 9. Aaron Justin Tan : 7:23.20

But the good thing is, if interested, this is a very recoverable event. COz 2.4 already considered not to bash your body out (as per SRY who once said that on a podcast). So can try and try and try many times and pretty often. lol

1 mile used to be the standard for napfa before secondary school. Not sure if it is still the case

waiting for your feedback
by the way, when you buy, did you know there is no removable insole for this shoe?

So far I have never removed insoles other than to wash or when I had plantar and had to put in custom insoles for more stability haha

Yes it is, 1.6k is starting from pri 5 as first real compulsory test. My kid that time even made up excuse and reported sick to PE teacher. (I actually trained actual assisted pull ups for him, to do his incline hang or something)


Anyway, it's wierd that schools still on NAPFA, with standing broad jump and shuttle run etc....while IPPT is only sit ups, push ups and 2.4.
