I wonder how you guys walk with the rocker geometry and high stack. Everytime I walked to my starting point is not a thing I can get used to. But then I only wear them once or twice a week for the higher intensity workouts. Most time it's the non plated shoes.

I see those china brand shoes mentioned here mostly are plated racers. Any recommendations for non-plated daily trainers? Think its high time to retire my Asics NB5. Never keep track but most probably clocked more than 1000km on them and the foam has lost its "pop" or bounciness a long time ago. Currently its feels no different from wearing $30 army emart shoe.

Reminded me during my walk in pcn overheard people donating 15buck each and traveling 1hr from jurong to punggol to walk 3km in an event
Last time a decade ago, I used to go these runs 5km 10km, some runs like passion run, ntuc income run, Jurong Lake Run, and standard chartered marathon run. Realised after a few years, its just a waste of money when I can simply run these on my own around the Lake or pcn. Save the money, buy better running kit than special running singlet and be walking advertisements.

I would not mind if the 10k is a proper race on proper roads (or majority is road). Coz the feel is there.

But most times is just put some cones at the usual MBS/Stadium areas/routes


Nicoll highway and extending to some parts of Durian head/merlion/1 marina blvd is a MUST for such races. So basically AHM or SCSM

Bobian. A lot of logistics and clearence just to block off an entire stretch of road just for running. Reckon only the bigger races like 2XU and Standchart can do that.

QD PB 5.0 - 10/5
Evo SL - 24/5
Novablast 5 - 4/6

Average 70km per week. Think another 2 pairs of shoes will be good for my rotation. Can last for another 2 x 12 weeks training cycle.

If you like NB5, think you have to look at those with extra cushioning.

I find NB5 to be too clunky for me but as an easy day shoe,just got to ride it out till the end haha.

Another consideration is Mizuno Sky Wave 8.

I bought during 6.6 for $120 after voucher and coins discount on Lazada.

But I still like Evo SL the best hahaha.

Very all rounder shoe. Easy,tempo and long run. Not sure whether can handle threshold at around 4.15-4.20km/min pace.

安踏旅步2(PG7) & 乔丹强风3TR could be appropriate. Both are available at around RMB200.
