what I mean for running not for leisure..so normal running + breathable windproof jacket settle?
should I go for a cheap one https://www.decathlon.sg/p/men-s-ki...trail-running-jacket-blue-kiprun-8926413.html since I seldom use?

For running, srsly the windproof jacket more than sufficient esp if you are doing fast workouts.

I always strength train in my server room with my bands at 18 deg C, no issue.......but not for longer periods.

What's your thoughts for windproof vs rainproof for the jacket for my use case , running whole travelling at temperate climate . Still just get windproof with best breathability which can withstand light rain of heavy rain don't run. Correct?

Stretch or squeeze phase?

Actually just get the cheapest and with quality you can tahan can already. That probably means the usual windproof, be it decathalon or uniglo can already.

Srsly for me, i'd just hoot TB if it's cheap and be done with it...... but i am the type that i buay hiam. (coz mid 50s already). Since this is not a critical use or safety thingy. Decent quality of coz.

i was in europe.. low single digit temperature
they just wear shorts and hoodie jacket..
for the hoodie jacket should have a base or just 1 top and bottom down?
can tahan ah and apply to us?

my question:
if say for around 15C. just a windproof jacket enough? I want to get a jacket during BF sales.. what to look out for? Tks

15 deg just normal t shirt and pants possible. I did that many times even recently in Tokyo. Was in Spain where morning is slightly less than ten then I will wear long sleeve and Uniqlo thermal wear pants but don’t get extra warm

I did mount fuji marathon last year , temperature around 3-9 degrees, ran around 5 hour 45 mins .

Depends on how long you running for , above 3 hours recommended to wear thicker

Top layer
one t shirt , one jacket

bottom layer
underwear, long pants and pants

So basically for 15deg, normal plus windproof jacket as backup ?

Your Spain run with jacket is it comfy? Got condensation?

I never run with jacket. Is just normal wear .. but Europe I will wear those meant for inner wear for layering. Actually I saw a lot just wear long sleeves for around 10 degrees…..

I ran 4 marathons and never trained enough. All the timing above 5 hours plus . The longest run I did is 30km. Personally I feel need to run at least 2 x 32-35km long run .

Better to have gotten a confirmed diagnosis. Rest well in the meantime

Grabbed two pairs this past September very heavily discounted
only regret is should have grabbed more

just tried the LINING 飞电6 Elite at 上海体博会Shanghai Sports & Fitness Exhibition that held in conjunction with the 2025 Shanghai Marathon which will be this Sunday.
Super soft yet bouncy and responsive midsole.
BMAI supershoe is so damn light.
Many shoes to try, unfortunately some are only available to marathon participants. eg. Salomon Phantasm 3. Many running gears, supplements to get as well.
Super poisonous place

Just sharing. 100% true story.

The power of deep wave sleep (SWS) for recovery is really is true. (in addition to NSAIDs to "reset" of coz)

Past 3 days wrist/forearm outer tendon a bit painful when i twist my arm around. Should have overpulled something via dips, one arm deadhang or bicep curl, more so on the last 2 exercises.
Possibly the shrugs (resistance bands) but not so sure abt this one coz not the most demanding on grip strength.

Anyway, a bit pain for 3 days when twisting around and decided that total rest is not the way. Hooted 90mg arcoxia in the morning and felt it improving throughout the day. Last night at 11pm 50% as painful as in the morning, so pain is still there but got improvement. Night time got a bit of allergic rhinitis and hooted a chloropheniramine, the drowsy yellow tablet. Zzzzz nicely.

Now woke up and zero pain, as in really zero. Will it come back in the afternoon, later post again.
Not sure if it is arcoxia 90mg (just 1 pc only) or arcoxia + sleep though.

Still a bit pain after 28hrs (medication shd wear off from 22-24th hr), but definitely significantly better than yesterday before the first round of NSAID. Now hooting another round of arcoxia, and tonight need to sleep another round of 8.5hrs min (ie early dinner plus good sleep hygiene from 8pm so that i can feel sleepy by 9pm). Heng only drank coffee at 10am and no afternoon coffee at 2-3pm

Think tomorrow probably need 1 more round, and then sleep....... hopefully have minimal pain on Sunday afternoon/night.
