    VFF KMDSports replacement

    Hi! I'm looking to replace my VFF KMDSports as they are getting near the end of their life. These shoes fit me like a glove and I have never had any issues with them. I would like to know which other VFF shoes are built on the same last, or are the successor to them. I tried on a some V-Trails...

    The Great Singapore Loop

    I am very grateful to all the support from my running group doing this! And special thanks to my awesome girlfriend who had to listen to a blow-by-blow account every night of a 50k run, and endure the smells! I have learnt so much about how my body reacts to doing this amount of running. I felt...

    The Great Singapore Loop

    Day 4 I had to wake up early this day as had to meet friends at 6AM and 10km's of running to get there, and I was just not sure how my legs and feet were going to feel today. The first km I took it slow and as everything warmed up, I picked up speed. Then I started pushing 6:00/km speeds with...

    The Great Singapore Loop

    Day 3 This was my dreaded day! I was originally going to start at at dawn to hit the first 16km of no verge, truck heavy road with daylight but woke up at 3AM knowing I was not going back to sleep. Caught a taxi back to Sungei Buloh, the taxi driver being fascinated about what I was up to...

    The Great Singapore Loop

    Day 2 I woke up feeling much better than I went to sleep and super excited that Mark was going to join me again for the first bit. And I get a bonus lift in his car back to Changi Point! Once again hitting the deserted streets at 5AM, my legs felt good and I had to reign myself back because I...

    The Great Singapore Loop

    Day 1 I was pretty excited when I got up. Today was going to be the most fun day with lots of support along the way, going through lots of parks and I knew most of the route. A perfect way to start! I met up with Mark at 05:10 at Labrador Park MRT, and got going. We had to keep time as he had...

    Flow Your Way to Happiness

    Back to topic- At what point of running do you experience flow? For me it is usually after 90 minutes, but can be a lot less in nature.

    Flow Your Way to Happiness

    Exactly the same! I once shared a flat with a guy who had a freediving world record and we dived a lot together but my nerves weren't up to those crazy depths.

    Flow Your Way to Happiness

    When a big shark charges you in 5m visibility water, you hit whatever you can! My uncle was attacked on 2 separate occasions. http://sharkattackfile.net/spreadsheets/pdf_directory/1983.08.20.a-Louw.pdf But I stopped this as i got out of my 20's and matured abit (LOL). Out of my circle of dive...

    Flow Your Way to Happiness

    Yeah, there are a lot of sharks in our seas, and sometimes they get up really close fast. Couple of mates have even had to punch Great Whites, or as we call them Great Frights! My uncle is one of the very few people to have had two Great White attacks. Hope this does not go off topic, but when...

    Flow Your Way to Happiness

    A great article! I miss that state I used to get from spearfishing at a high level in my 20's in South Africa. Many dives thinking am I going to make it out in one piece?, punching sharks, rough sea conditions. Now I only get it from running if I am going into mountains or pushing my limits.
