Thanks for SIC. Did you buy the Xtep 2000km 5.0 pro? Can PDD ship direct to SG easily?

Never order. PDD got free consolidated sea shipping as long for orders above 99rmb applicable to most listings. Look out for listings with the "SG99yuan包邮" label. So basically first you pay the cart out price + admin fee, then seller ship to consolidation warehouse where you pay another sum for GST. Base on my past purchase experience on PDD, delivery lead time is around 2-3 weeks.

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

What is your pace in zone 2?

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

Btw today is official release day for the Xtep 2000km 5.0 pro(was on pre-order previously). Cheaper on PDD than on TB by around 50rmb.

i had this mindset before i went to Sapporo last september/oct. Ended up with a Novablast 5, which i only wear it for cold conditions. Now that China has so many good non-plated running shoes, Asics has been elevated to a premium price level.

too soft and unresponsive in SG weather condition. For me, midsole starts feeling good when temp goes below mid 10s degC. Now running at single digit temp is just nice.
for the money, i would rather use it to buy a pair of xiaonian and a pair of xtep 2000km v5 Pro.

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

Your max HR configured correctly ? Don't use the generic formula. Its not accurate.

If just started running, you will get better as you keep running.

What is your pace in zone 2?

Selling like hotcakes. Most sizes and colorways sold out for Xtep official store on both PDD and TB. Also notice 3rd party sellers upping their prices closer to 400rmb. I am in no rush to get this pair. Will decide when Hui and western youtubers get their reviews in as i am no inclined to fully trust PRC reviews.
