Thinking about the KL Marathon in March and knowing that there will not be the heavenly SGRunners 30km support table at that race, I knew that i will have to carry everything i need with me, right from the start. Based on experience from Stanchart Singapore Marathon last year, i figured i will need about 5 packs of powergels and probably a pack of deep heat rub. I do not want to rely on the organisers for these 2 essentials as i knew that these things may run out by the time i need them.
So i have been actively searching for anything that i can place these items in, and be comfortable running. A trip to RunningLab at Velocity last evening and i think i may have found the solution.
Cosmic was on duty when i stepped into the shop. I immediately saw what i was looking for. Near the entrance of the shop, a number of Nathan pouches were hung. Some could hold water bottles while others looked like waist wallets. Though tempted to get the water bottle pouches, i zoomed in on the waist wallet kind, knowing that if i want to carry water i can just use my under-utilised Nathan hydration belt.
The waist wallet comes in 2 sizes. I tried the smaller one, even putting some packs of powergels in them. Feeling that the smaller one could carry only about 3-4 packs of gel, i made up my mind and bought the bigger wallet.
I have been suffering from sore fore-feet after every run, ever since i went for my first 30km training run for SCSM last October. Tried getting shoes with maximum cushioning but couldn't solve the problem. I spotted what looked like cushioning gel which is to be placed under the forefeet area, and decided to get a pair to test. Actually, i have seen the gel just before SCSM, but didn't get around to buy one. My plan is to try it on my NB1060 during CBD run come Tuesday.
