Hope the haze did not last thru out the week. Last week is almost perfect

I think all my stuff will get cancelled as well.....i better not put too much hope, what to do....just solo and then wear KF94 do easy if really bad conditions, but low chance of that tho.
They are very strict. Even a hint of band 2 also will cancel, either that or 24hr PSI (ie it could be band 1 and low PM2.5 levels even, but still cancel).
Then next Sat got a major group event also.

Everything still being blown towards us. Yeah we can have showers here and there clear the air then, but it's not gonna help in the grand scheme of things.

I'm at KL for the weekend. The air here better than in Singapore.

Hopefully can last till klscm finish at least

High chance A-ok good to go. If the ESE and E winds hold up.

@GlassDoor
Got new colorway in my size and it's cheaper on TB, even with air freight. Now crossing my fingers it gets on the plane before 1st October, else going to be a long delay.

Nice. Want to buy but for some reason 45 is always out of stock.

For Miro SL 1.5, I sized up from usual 44 to 45. Turns out a good decision otherwise the waist part would be too narrow.

Just in........ started about 1-3 hours ago depending on which part of kalimantan you are looking at.

Will be subdued for the next few day or two at least.....maybe even more.

This adds to the favourable wind directions.

Heng, think esp my next weekend major group ride outing looking much better now.

Yesterday I did a 10km and really feel like dying.. probably it was the weather ..it felt like 33 to 34 Deg. After 5 km onwards. My HR was elevated about 175 for most of the time. When I finished the 10km . I wanted to collapse on the floor already .

But for today . I see the weather so good so song so cooling . Although I didn't sign up for the half marathon decathlon . I did a HM just now anyway . Definitely a much better weather to run just now !

 

[sph777]

U paid the price to race 21.1km and ended up got a PB that went below 40 mins for 10km ! Still Very worth it .

If U attempted 21.1km just now . Your Sub 40 mins 10km target still have to wait

Swee lah....great, at least managed to squeeze out something positive from this episode!

Kuching cancelled tho.......i really dont know for what reason whatsoever.

But how come the title so funny one, 10KM HAZE.

Congrats bro. Welcome to the Sub 40 club haha

Thanks! @Tudo88 Wanted to join the sub 1:30 half club but will settle for this haha.

Saturday 7 plus pm vs yesterday of coz day and night difference.


But bro, next time......touching my heart when saying this......please dont do things like this, for both your own sake and your family's.
It's more like risky and damaging rather than healthy or improving your fitness.


Hot temps (think it reached 41 deg C heat index earlier in the afternoon) and hazy weather, 10km @ 5:26 161bpm probably just somewhat sub-threshold at your just under age 50.

Though the airgradient stations are a bit over-reading, still there is absolutely no way the real time PSI levels then were under 100, most probably not under PSI 130 neither.
AQI 195 is like PSI 190 after conversion, coz AQI 200 = PSI 200 and AQI 150 = PS 100.
And anyway, Central region NEA 1hr did peak like AQI 190+ after conversion as well, so the airgradient stations aint tooooo far off or totally cannot be trusted.

Tho i think generally the haze season is looking much better now.

Yeah. When I ran at Saturday. I didn't smell of the haze . That why I didn't feel I need to stop at 5km despite feeling not so great .

My last run before that was on 23 sept and ran 12km at a very relaxed pace . After rested on 24 and 25 sept without any run .All I wanted was to make my running exercise worthwhile on Saturday.

Hey guys, looking for a new pair of casual running shoes. What are the popular China brands and models currently? Budget is not more than $100.
TIA!

Can consider Leili2, around $60. YouTube have many reviews.

 

[sph777]

got any nice chinese recovery shoes to recommend? cheap and good?

I think many ppl here can recommend @Ender @Tudo88 @xllms @sales69

For me I just saw kipride max below 100

Recovery shoes for beat up legs that are still sore from yesterday long run or some back to back mid distance run?
So far only in my arsenal is the Qiaodan 强风3TR. Very soft midsole that sinks in and absorbs shock, gentle on sore legs. Before that it was my Asics Novablast 2.
I would think those Y-sandals like the 母子鳄鱼 makes good recovery footwear and can run, coz they seem to be the same rubber compound as Croc.

I totally skipped the LEili hype. Don't like the clunky look, machiam like the Hoka Clifton

Thanks. Is Li Ning red hare 9 pro still recommended?

Same here. I'm prioritizing ground feel, lower stack, crisp responsive bounce now. Some softness is a bonus.

Getting back the running feeling after months of fiddling around. Cadence improved from 172spm to 177~180spm. The ground feel helps a lot.

But recently stopped running for a week. First run after that went back to old ways again, 174spm.

Second run 176spm. Still a work in progress.

Sidenote: watched a Chinese reviewer CarlosMa said Leili2 GT is suitable for slow runs. And the forefoot can be compressed during running for ground feel. So tempted again.

yah, 强风3TR (RMB160) can be a good option, so is the Novablast 5. I also like to use my BMAI 惊碳3.0 Turbo (RMb565) for recovery slow pace due to lightness, most natural feel with not aggressive carbon plated design. It's controversial but it works for me and feels good on my feet.
Nowadays I also use my 小鲶 (RMB499) & 9Ultra (<RMB400) for slow runs (7-8min/km pace)
