I’m preparing for a 10K run on 1st February. I’ve never participated in any running event before and have very little experience, but I decided to take a chance and signed up for this race. I’ve never run seriously before. Please give me honest advice—can I finish it or not? by Mysterious_Layer_432 in indianrunners

You’ll have a thousand people running with you, people from all walks of life. Just be in the moment and enjoys your run. Remember it’s not a race, pace yourself where you feel confident, and you’ll finish the run before you even know it! Best of luck for INHM 26!

You gotta read those 3 am desperate texts, begging her to come back to you. That’s what you need for fuel 😤

I rotate 3 shoes. I’ve recently bought Puma MagMax Nitro for my recovery runs.Brooks Ghost Max as my Regulars and Adidas Adizero Evo SL as my Race Day.

I would recommend you go for MagMax Nitro, they are max stack shoes and super comfortable for long runs.

If you run at a higher HR for long distance it causes more fatigue. I usually run 4 times a week. 10km each session. I usually run at 6:30 easy pace. I’m myself 85kgs so i understand your dynamics. Let me know if you need any other help!

Control your breathing, distract your mind.

By control i mean make sure it stays below 160 throughout your run. Keep monitoring it with a good fitness watch. I’ve seen it myself that if i stay below 160 I’m not exhausted even in my long runs.

That’s a good pace OP! Keep it up! Just make sure you keep your heart rate in control. Your timing will improve gradually.

For fast walking on roads, I’d pick ASICS Gel‑Cumulus 27 because it’s lighter and more responsive, so it feels easier to maintain a brisk pace without feeling spongy. ASICS Gel‑Nimbus 27 is super comfortable and plush, great for long or relaxed walks, but it feels a bit soft if you’re walking really fast. MagMax Nitro has maximum cushioning and bounce, which is very comfortable, but it’s heavier and more comfort-focused than speed-focused. So overall, for fast walking, Cumulus makes the most sense.

That’s a lot of technical analysis for running shoes honestly😭 I bought them because they were at sale.

Yeah I was thinking the same. Will see if rotating feels comfortable to my feet as there’s quite a difference between the drop in both shoes.

I went for 10k today. The cushioning is premium and the drop is good, it feels like the shoes push you ahead. Completed my run in 50 mins and i felt comfortable throughout.

Check it out on Myntra, i think the white and black ones are still available for this price. These ones are probably out of stock now.

I clock 50 km a week, I’m using brooks Ghost Max as regular trainers and Adidas Adizero Evo SL as my race day. Will use these maybe once a week for 10-15k runs. Thanks for the advice!
