Running Kits

This week I'm going to share the gadgets/equipments that I basically used for my running, the food/supplements that I ate/drinks, the songs that I listened to when I'm doing my run.....etc

Nike Air Structure Triax 10+ (blue) bought it January 2008 and the Nike Air Structure Triax 9 bought it in 2007. The shoes are just right for my feet coz my I'm a 'flat foot' runners or in other words overpronates


Garmin Forerunner 301 with GPS and a heart rate monitor. It has a speed, distance and time measurements. I used to have Garmin Forerunner 305 but somehow it wasn't built for swimming. Luckily I didn't sell my 301....

My fuel belt and of course it should be Nike - The Number One Fan. I wear it for my long run. Three bottles - 2 fill with sport drink and 1 bottle of water.

Ipod Nano 4GB with Nike+ plus. With Nike+ plus, I can listen to the music and at the same time keep track of the distance, speed and time of my running. The red round thing is the pod sensor where you put it inside your running shoes - the Nike+ shoes like my Nike Air Structure Triax 10+ or if you don't have a Nike+ shoes, you can buy its shoe pouch and tie it together with your favourite shoes.

For my running playlist, refer to the bottom of the page........

My morning drinks. It has Vitamins B1(15mg), B2 (15mg), B5 (25mg), B6(10mg), B8 (150mcg), B12 (10mcg), C (500mg), Nicotinamide (50mg), Folic Acid (400mcg), Calcium (100mg), Magnesium (100mg) and Zinc (10mg). Word of advice - After drinking this, your urine will turn deeper yellow. This is due to Vitamin B2 being excreted from the body. This is harmless and will last 3 to 4 hours.

Taking Berocca constantly will significantly improve concentration, tension, tiredness and the same time alleviate the negative psychological (mood) and pyhsical (fitness) symptoms associate with stress. Interested.........Find it at Guardian - (one box cost around $18)

My snack bar. This is my last two bars. It's not sold here in Brunei. Have to buy from Miri or KL.

My Powerbar GEL. The orange package is Tangerine flavour with 2x caffeine and the other package if Chocolate with 1X caffeine. Word of advice - After taking this, make sure it is being used up by the body or face the consequences of hyper energetic, cannot sleep and this is all due to the Caffeine. So used it wisely........Only for long runs or short fast pace runs


My energy drink. I usually drink it before, during and after the run eventhough it is recommended during the activity. Other than this I drink 100plus, Gatorade and H2O.
