Think i would have bought this 2000km V5 Pro instead of the Xiaonian if i had known about it earlier. The Xiaonians are a great pair of shoes dont get me wrong. Done a couple of runs in them. The feeling i get is anything slower than sub 6min, the shoes are okay-ish and nothing too special. But once you pick up the pace, they are an entire different beast. Thats where i feel the 2000km V5 Pro are likely more versatile and better suited for a bigger variety of paces.

probably so, am still enjoyable my xiaonian at paces at 6min or slower. Indeed does feel better when one picks up the pace or apply more power to it. Very good shoe for long distance tempo runs.

sharing a list of running shoes (25/26)major Chinese & other major brands from Western & Japan, which I compiled while I am trying to make sense amongst across the brands. It is by no means complete. Just a simple compilation to begin with.
This will help those who are looking to buy running shoes but doesn't know where to start from.
Can download the excel file from the following link.

Recommendation, mutton curry. Both Aladdin Kopi House and the Singapore Nasi Kandar stores along Lor 10. Cyclist can also access via Guillemard side from Lor 12 and then Talma rd.
After that can go hoot Geylang PCN, BEG, MBS etc.

Aladdin i think $8 or something, SG Nasi Kandar $7. Mutton Curry with rice.
SG Nasi Kandar store can try the others like butter chicken also.

Open 23 hours, hardcore runners and cyclists early hours all also can go.

Not a new vid but quite interesting

How can secondary sch students run this fast. That's basically like a 7 min few seconds 2.4, not PB but training.

Anyone train for zone 2? Very difficult to maintain the speed to be consistently in zone 2.

for some zone 2 could be your walking pace, eg. me now. One's body needs to be conditioned via low intensity high mileage accumulation and high intensity trainings to establish a clearer zone 2.
In short, need to train to achieve such fitness conditions.
my advice is just start running and try to use fully nasal breathing or run with someone and chit chat along the way. If can maintain throughout, then in principle, around zone 2 liao.
no expert, just sharing my experience and opinion.

I use hr to determine . Most of the time , I use mouth to breathe . Not sure accurate or not . Cannot sustain the same pace for 1 hour run . 2nd half , pace will drift up 7 percent

Context matters. If you are starting out in running or low mileaege type, dont go by heart rate. Go by RPE instead. I feel like Z2 running sucks the joy out of beginner

I going Japan in March, should I take this this chance to hoot an asics? Got a lot cheaper that sg price boh

Weak yen + tax refund. Can save quite a bit depending on how much and what you buy
