jogging and motivation thread

Actually ECP B1 parkrun would be good training for me. 11km bike to there, go gun 5K (no need to register etc, just hoot at 7.40?), then finish straight away cycle back.
$178 cheap foldie provides decent resistance for training.

Rinse and repeat. Keep track of timing later on......now gain experience and train up base, LT etc.

See how. I haven't tried this kind of running distance yet in conjunction with cycling.

i read from a running group in WA, that Runrio is refunding those who signed up early last year. I guess you might have received an email regarding the refund.

Now don't know will there be a Sundown in the middle of the year? Likely not. Guess it'll only be one FM road race this year for us.

Yes received the email. I thought would want to do sundown as compensation for last year but yeah likely only one FM

Come come need alternate long distance race to replace Sundown in the middle of the year.

So far there's a UTSG somewhere in June, but it's 50km, and potentially have trails. Making it a lot tougher than Sundown. If road race I might consider as replacement for Sundown.

Freak. Why they make it like Novablast?

Rebel 1-3 was always about freedom. Kind of like Saucony Freedom 1-2, which got destroyed after that as a lifestyle shoe...

Derek Li is our own Singapore Elite runner. His view on the Rebel 4. The less rocker feel, more flexibility may be suitable for me, since I kenne toe injury with the stiff plated Saucony Endorphin/speed 2. But I will wait til this become past season first before I start looking.

Derek: I’ve put the Rebel through a series of short intervals, moderate intensity runs and a longer easy run. It handles all the paces very well. There is no plate here, so don’t expect any special rocker effect with this shoe, and it still performs in a more traditional fashion at workout paces.



What you get is a moderate amount of springiness that is very perceptible in mid- and forefoot, when then compresses into a firmer and more stable base.



The forefoot rocker is still quite flexible and not particularly aggressive, making it very smooth at easier paces. When I first ran in the shoe, the first comparison that came to mind was the ASICS Superblast. Very similar sort of mild compression and rebound with a very stable base. The Rebel 4 is a bit nimbler though, because it is less shoe and significantly lighter than the Superblast.



I think the Rebel is a great daily trainer / uptempo trainer for neutral runners and runners needing a bit more heel stability. The shoe is relatively snug at midfoot but should still work fine for most feet.



Anyone who wants a slightly more traditional flexing shoe with a superfoam feel will definitely want to consider the Rebel 4. For me, the shoe does everything that I could want in a non-plated trainer, and my only wish was that the foam was a tad softer. This is purely a personal preference as I also find e.g. ASICS Superblast to be a little too firm, especially for longer runs.

Derek’s Score: 9.75 / 10

Ride (50%): 9.5 Fit (30%): 10 Value (15%): 10 Style (5%): 10

Smiles Score: 1/2

On course to average 30 MVPA minutes per day this month. The most ever since I started wearing this HPB steps tracker.

Tomorow last day for Loyalty or Early bird. I am not joining this, even the early bird is too high for me. But for Race singlet and Tee are among the better quality and nicer design compare to other races.
