Thanks for the sizing feedback. I took the leap of faith, as the poison was too much. LOL. Ordered 45 and it's on the way via sea.

Good luck. Hope 45 size fits you.

Mine arrived today just before 5.30pm run. Just nice!

First impression after 7km + 4 x 300m + 2 x 80m sprint.

Roomy forefoot and toebox. Feels like wide version of US brands.

Size 44 length is really like 44.5 of other brands. @Ender size 45 might just be enough for you.

Non plated, feels pretty natural.

Natural rocker effect. More pronounced if body tilt forward.

Naturally encourage me to go faster. Doesn't feel forced.

More firm than soft. If Plaid 1 is 9/10 soft, Xiaonian is 4/10 soft.

Good energy return. Every step of effort responds very well in return.

6min to 5min pace no problem.

Ran 4 x 300 at 4.10s pace. No problem.

Sprint 80m at 3.30 pace. Great. Can feel every step unlike soft cushioned shoes like Plaid 1/1.5.

Overall very pleased with the first run.

Also ran with Dowin 神行者3 couple days back. First impression not as good. Does remind me of Saucony Endorphin Speed 3.

Need more runs to test.

nice! looks like it can take on different pace..

potentially a replacement for evo sl..

can't wait to try mine.. should be arriving next week..

Good luck. Hope 45 size fits you.

Anyway buying shoes online always have a little bit of faith. But this time is a little more faith than usual. LOL.

yes, many reviewers in xhs had mentioned 小鲶 can accommodate a wide range of paces.

My pair will still take another week to arrive while my Leili another 2 more weeks.

With these 2 pairs,current shoes rotation 8 pairs already. Think need to stop my urge to buy anymore shoes but everytime see some new release,will have the urge to buy

Went on a chan brothers east us and canada tour. Went to Toronto, quebec and montreal. I think Toronto is just like any major city but Montreal and Quebec are very chill and beautiful places with the mix of french and english architecture. Quebec wall also still in tact!

Next time try West canada, it’s really pretty

Anyone ever tried such facilities to boost recovery?

I see the prices beings mentioned in the article, think i am better off making ice cubes and boiling hot water at my own home to soak my feet.

Got use, but this is like 3rd tier.

First tier is sleep. Sufficient and good quality/long enough Slow Sleep Wave (Deep wave) sleep.
For the past what.....4 years since Covid period, i have been placing the most emphasis on this, of coz not possible every day every week, but i dare say 90-95% of the time.

The others are icing on the cake, good to have, but take care of sleep first and foremost.

I mean raw carbon as in unpainted. I kinda like the concept of unpainted bike..... like no nonsense bike for performance and racing like that.

Next time try West canada, it’s really pretty

Yeah would want to plan a seattle then to vancouver/rockies trip

Vigorous exercise found to be at least 4 times, possibly up to 9X. (time efficiency). wrt health factors
Thanks to wearable devices nowadays.
(ok, not a super recent study, but still not old at all, in 2022)

Quite a large scale study too.

This might be important info for those very time crunched folks who are not into racing / events / structured training.

Bonus - dont forget your SIT, that is damn good icing on the cake if done properly/safely....trust me. Only issue is it is not for beginners and the mistakes are not forgiving. But it is not impossible reaching, i dont consider myself to be an athlete and for sure this did not screw up my body, simply coz the volume is so small. (just dont kena acute stuff like hamstring tear can liao, do your S&C folks)
I already knew this has got to be quite impactful, coz when i first got into running properly, i also surprised myself when i did my first time trial (short distance). Coz there are also factors like neuromuscular (motor units) as well.


Bonus : if talking about say brisk walking (not racewalking / power walking), we are approaching a factor of 100 times. Im not dissing brisk walking, some folks like fully retired folks can afford the time and wanna smell the flowers along rail corridor that is fine nothing wrong at all with spending 2-4 hrs out there daily, but you gotta be mindful of this info as well.
eg

Note : Of coz if you are racing in any endurance events (even 5k, it is technically long distance and already quite aerobic based), you cannot forgo the base / volume. This is also bo bian.
You definitely aint racing even a 5k parkrun with SIT training alone. lol.

not about this. its not officially on sale yet. There are some colors

this is probably closest to what you are looking for, but probably not raw unpainted. maybe can contact them and customized based on raw unpainted frame.

Actually come to think of it, havent come across Incolor here in real life before. Not even in the shops.
Quick Pro becoming not super rare already, can see them in the bike shops / local youtuber vids

Last time i played cars that time i also dig sleeper builds, debadge etc.

There is one more nowadays too, Evolve Cima, but Tay Junction bringing in, and it's bloody expensive. (ie anything that local retail touch one, becomes $$$ like gold)
