Siemens Run 2009 10KM, some Shoryuken and 1 sad news

Wazzup everyone? Didja miss me? :P I was busy la...pai seh. Busy with work and workout. Haven't been running for the past 1 week after Siemens Run. As I ran McDonald run a week before Siemens Run, the route was pretty much the same except for the ending; Instead of turning into Kompleks Pertama, we had to run alittle further till we come across Wisma Cycle And Carriage to make the "U-turn" point.

I felt stronger this time. I manage to maintain pace during all the uphills and side stitch wasn't a problem this time around. I ran slightly faster as I was pacing with my friend, David earlier into the run but his pace was very much faster...so I told him to run first because If I were to follow his pace, I would pancit even faster.

My timing was 01:10:13 for the run. My previous best was 01:11:48 or something...can't recall but that was during Men's Health Run 2008. I won't say its a magical thing to do with the shoe but I guess the McDonald run did do some good as training before Siemens Run.

The Route for Siemens Ron 2009

Now for some words regarding my thoughts on the LunarGlide+ during the run. The shoe feels alot better after more running in it and I could feel the cushioning really well this time. I guess their new technology Dynamic Support System really makes a difference this time as it is said to make the shoe adapt to a runner's feet without compromising performance. Although I mentioned that the shoe could use a little head room for the toes, this doesn't seem to bother me any more during the run.

Did you guys notice the "wires" on the shoe(The silver looking lines)? That is Nike's Flywire Technology which allows Nike to remove unnecessary weight WITHOUT compromising support and stability.

Although I haven't been able to try the LunaRacer, but the Lunarlite cushioning system is fantastic.

Taken from Nike Biz:

LunarLite System
Nike first introduced LunarLite in the summer of 2008 in Beijing as the mid-sole cushioning system in the Nike LunaRacer+ and Nike LunarTrainer+ running shoes. Traditional cushioning systems only absorb energy upon impact. LunarLite has proven to provide superior cushioning and significant energy return. The LunarLite System in the Nike LunarGlide+ creates a trampoline effect as the softer foam core is contained by the firmer foam carrier upon impact.

I'm not trying to exaggerate, but indeed, I felt some sort of bounce feeling upon landing. Hence, feeling all the technology coming into place for the cushioning work. Once again, it ain't a magical shoe or high-end-sophisticated-technology which helps improve your running by tenfold.

Nevertheless, the shoe is amazing for its lightness and size(small)!

Next up, my cam whoring sessions!

The venue is some private gym called Anabolic Gym...sounds gay or hardcore? You decide. I'm just going there to check out the peeps, share some infro and tips on working out.

This is the requirement. Buy an Animal tshirt and you're in.
