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

Wow.....the BMAI tokong. EU41 131g

i came late to the adios pro 3 cos it was never discounted.
Grabbed two pairs this past September very heavily discounted
only regret is should have grabbed more

I bought 2 from Tokyo during 2025 CNY . Pro 4 just released during that period and it was pro 3 selling less than $180 over there. Then recently I saw women adios pro 3 on sale at adidas IMM. The women US 9 is the same as the same size as UK 7.5. which is my adios pro 3 men size

my two pairs each 110+ from adidas sg online if i remember correctly. pro 3 are unisex. so i just look at the uk size.. same for men and women's
the current pair i am wearing is manufactured in Jan 2024. the other new in box is from June 2024. so fairly new pairs. will grab another pair if i see good deal.
adidas online sg has a pair in my size... but price is 204 after discount.. so not a good deal.

About 15 years ago, i paid 75 bucks for SCMS FM. Now it is 95 loyalty rate for a HM.


Edit: Pen A selection now requires valid timing proof, imho that is a good move!

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.

The arcoxia damn power. Zero pain zero discomfort.

Now preparing to go sleep for optimal recovery of the wrist injury.

Nice weather, tomorrow 6am wake up go cycling.

96 ml/kg/min
Not too shabby / far from the highest ever recorded (97.5)

Same, also I realised one of the national marathoners ran 2.29 in Beijing at the age of 43!!

Another AI trainer, that has Kipchoge's imprint.

I Tested Eliud Kipchoge’s AI Coaching App, Kotcha. These 3 Features Make It Worth Trying.​

Although the app isn’t perfect (yet), having the GOAT in my back pocket was pretty darn cool.

Have you ever wanted to train like the greatest marathoner of all time? Well, now you can… sort of.

Developers worked alongside two-time Olympic gold medal marathoner Eliud Kipchoge—the first (and so far, only) human to run 26.2 in under two hours—and his NN Running Team to create Kotcha, the newest AI-powered run coaching app, designed to bring world-class support to every runner.

“Running is a team sport,” Kipchoge said in a press release about the app. “Without my coaches and teammates, I would never have pushed human limits. With Kotcha, we wanted to share not just the training structure, but the full support system that made it possible.”

I tested Kotcha for the better part of a month and discovered three unique tidbits that set it apart from other AI coaching apps. Here’s everything you need to know.

Berlin like a lot of Sgrean go. Maybe next year, not your luck for this year.
In a way, I am glad Singapore Marathon didn't get the abbot WMM for this reason. We still can race as long as we register by closing date. Just look at Sydney, immediately requires ballot once they become a WMM, even locals have to ballot.

Stretch or squeeze phase?

Feeling sad for Mike and Jeff. So many months liao, still got youtuber milking their plight. LOL.

Yeah got risks one. Best not to take over 3 days in a stretch if can help it. Usually is 5 days.
Max days for serious cases and after weighing risks/benefits is 2 weeks.
Then those with stomach and colon issues and diseases all cannot take.

But if can take NSAIDs, is really shiok. Arcoxia is even better and more effective than Tramadol for such things like PF, AT, tendon or fascia pain/inflammation. But let the inflammation go on for a day or 2 first, as it kick starts healing, the NSAIDs would then "reset" the inflammation or at least make it more bearable while healing.

Good weather this morning. But I only cleared 5km. The rest of the time did some pull ups
