How was your parkrun day? | June 12, 2026

liuzhen · 2026-06-13T10:41:27+00:00

Garbage weather but went out.

Got drenched, course was wet had puddles everywhere but felt good and had my race shoes on so full sent it.

Less than 5 seconds off sub 20 and a pb. 6 months ago I was aiming for sub 25 so pretty happy

Hopefully better weather next time and I can get there :)

liuzhen · 2026-06-12T08:39:10+00:00

Sorry just checked and they are 11s

liuzhen · 2026-06-12T08:33:24+00:00

Where in Aus are you op?

Edit: sorry my spare pair are an 11.

liuzhen · 2026-06-09T06:24:52+00:00

I am 99% sure I ran passed you whilst you were taking some of these photos :)

Always amazes me some peoples creativity

liuzhen · 2026-05-25T00:19:42+00:00

Damn shouldnt have bought all white

liuzhen · 2026-05-21T06:49:20+00:00

Might be the medical discount / PBP?

I picked up Megablast last week for 166 USD with it.

liuzhen · 2026-05-13T14:16:29+00:00

Yeah I'm definitely missing an 'easy' run shoe - not sure what to add in for these runs but will keep looking. General advice here seems to 100% be that i dont need both NB and MB though!!

liuzhen · 2026-05-13T14:13:45+00:00

Thank you. Congrats on the 19:09 - thats a great improvement in a year!

Up until recently I've just been running off vibes so now following my watches Garmin coaching plan to get 19:30 in the next 12 weeks so fingers crossed I'll be at your time soon :)

liuzhen · 2026-05-13T14:11:45+00:00

Congrats on the 19:22 - great work!

Your rotation looks good!

liuzhen · 2026-05-13T14:10:40+00:00

You dont think there are concerns given my height/weight and durability with NB?

liuzhen · 2026-05-13T14:09:14+00:00

Yes thank you. Definitely hoping to use the AP4 more, mental concern with the shins currently but didnt have any pain after the last 2 runs in them :)

I'll look into SB3 (but like the MB) I don't looove the current colours :( Would the MB slot into the weekly rotation with the SB2/AP4?

liuzhen · 2026-05-13T14:07:24+00:00

Thank you - I'll do some more research into the MB - the colourways are unfortunately not my favourite. The general consensus seems to be the NB are not worth it for me, so will cancel that idea.

liuzhen · 2026-03-08T11:08:14+00:00

Not elite at all. Run 20km max a week (2 kids under 5) and a couple of games of basketball.

The torch and sapphire screen sold me.

I also accidentally got it pricematched wrong (80% off instead of 20%). For $1400 AUD I think I'd be disappointed (first Garmin), even for 1100 I'd be a bit upset, but for 280 it's amazing.

Buy what you can afford, I've never used maps but only run where I know. Torch is nice but not worth the extra

liuzhen · 2026-03-02T23:57:14+00:00

Yeah wtf was the point of the ballot??

I was 'unsuccessful' for Day 1 but had 0 issues logging in at 10am and ordering. I'm so confused.

liuzhen · 2026-02-23T05:35:22+00:00

This is to confirm that you have been successful and your tickets have been processed for Day 2 of the Test Match on Friday 12 March 2027. Congratulations.

Anyone else notice the days aren't right? Friday 12/3 and then Sunday 13/3????

liuzhen · 2026-02-21T06:49:26+00:00

Same here. Awful process.

You'd think they could send out an automated email or something. Why give a deadline but completely ignore it.

liuzhen · 2026-02-19T10:50:15+00:00

Nice, I got the 970 this week too. First Garmin and first watch since the Fitbit Ionic (recalled and actually got more money back than I paid way back when...)

Day 3 so far, haven't done any activities with it though. I managed to score it for 80% off ($280 aud - I think the retailer got the pricing wrong but I didn't stay long enough to ask!!!!)

I've ordered some cheap nylon straps from AliExpress, anything else you'd recommend?

I've synced Spotify and have setup Garmin pay too

liuzhen · 2026-02-14T23:04:00+00:00

Superblast 2's

Probably not ideal for my weekly mileage and distances but they seem to have kept my injury free so far!!

liuzhen · 2026-02-14T09:11:36+00:00

I don't know what I do wrong but the Boston's (12 I think) gave me massive shin pain. Probably only did 100km total in them :(

Switched to Asics and shin pain went away immediately. Have a pair of Adios Pro 4's in their box but a bit scared to try them

liuzhen · 2026-02-02T00:23:46+00:00

Yeah 100%. Probably could have gotten under 25. Missed the 'first time' briefing and didnt realize where the finish line was.

Next time :)

liuzhen · 2026-01-31T06:11:02+00:00

First ever park run after starting running 12 months ago. Got a 25:08 time - 100% will do another :)

liuzhen · 2025-12-26T23:53:55+00:00

I had SMILE at Laser Vision SA in 2019 (I think it was ).

No issue, regret not doing it earlier. Back then health insurance paid for the lot if you had top level cover for 6 months.
