Reading wiki, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual_physical_proficiency_test

When National Service was first introduced in Singapore in 1967, the physical fitness test included a 4.8 km (3.0 mi) run to be completed within 30 minutes, and the completion of a 9.6 km (6.0 mi) run within 70 minutes while wearing the skeletal battle order (a type of load-bearing equipment). In 1979, this test was replaced by the IPPT, which consisted of five stations: push-up, sit-up, chin-up, half-knee bend and a 2.4 km (1.5 mi) run. The half-knee bend component was removed in 1981.

wah when first intro, so shiong

Hui's review for the Xtep 2000km 5.0 and Pro. His biggest critique for the Pro is the lack of energy return. Think i will give this a pass.


Sidenote, seen some price drop for Lining Feidian 6E and Redhare 9U on TB and PDD. Will hoot Redhare 9U if it drops to sub 500rmb.

赤兔9U sounds like a good shoe for cruising pace long runs based on review from jogoncrago.

Richard Heng isn't a fast twitch guy, but it's impressive how he managed to get 4th best marathon time and later go on to represent SEA games for marathon.

Most folks in Sg don't specialise in marathon and run as much mileage as him.

IVP Track & Field Championships 2026 - Men 10000 Meter Run​

Institute-Varsity-Polytechnic (IVP) Games Track & Field Championships 2026

Ah yeah, Jon Lim is back in action. He is 1 min off his PB for the 10k and about 30s off for the 5k.

赤兔9U sounds like a good shoe for cruising pace long runs based on review from jogoncrago.

Think the biggest worry is how durable the layer of wrap is and whether damage or pichak means whole shoe GG. Current price of around 600-630rmb still kinda steep so wait and see for a couple more months.

PDD gave me a buy 399rmb free GST promo. Want to hoot the Redhare but scared buy fake.

 

[rECKleSSfElla]

PDD gave me a buy 399rmb free GST promo. Want to hoot the Redhare but scared buy fake.

I also receive the same promo but only valid for 1 week duration meaning after placing order seller must ship out and item must reach consolidation warehouse within that 1 week. Wanted to get the 9U back then but i holding firm for price to drop to sub 500 or lower within couple of months. Also CNY soon so logistics operations winding down liao so if you order now probably will only receive way after CNY when they resume.

Indeed this is the last week to make a purchase before they go off for CNY.

Those stores selling around 700RMB should be real. Just not keeping to suggested retail price. Still scared haha.

Think I might buy from Taobao and use air shipping. But quite chor the price.

Hoping the high stack cushion + bounce will help my plantar pain.

Sidenote. I figured how to run 6 to 6.15 pace with the Feidian 6E. Very smooth and bouncy cruising. But abit wasteful.

yah, am also waiting for 9U to drop below RMB500. At the moment I have enough shoes to play around, hence no hurry, can wait till mid yr 66 promotion or later. The only thing that is bothering me is the lack of ready made options in TB for the self adhesive rear outsole for Xiaonian. My left rear outer side has worn down to the midsole material.

If Jon wasn't injured, I wonder if Soh would have stuck to marathon and let Jon do 10k or still let Richard do marathon haha

Taobao currently got $10 off $65 and $4 off shipping coupon on the english interface. For my usual size 45, after $4 off still need to pay another $6-7 for air shipping thats why nowadays i lean towards PDD for free shipping.

what item is this?

 

[rECKleSSfElla]

what item is this?

Any shoe you buy on taobao. Larger the size more expensive the shipping will be. I feel like i am getting punished for having large sized feet

赤兔9U sounds like a good shoe for cruising pace long runs based on review from jogoncrago.

But the weight of 9u puts me off. I am good with Xiaonian, 赤兔 8 pro and QD Strong Winds 3 TR.

Waiting of local Anta zone 2 review here.
