New Balance 1210v2 2nd Trail Running Tested

2nd trail running test with New Balance Leadville1210v2 (2D size) Yesterday, tested at Kiara technical trail.. Today with LSD pace, uphill & downhill trail. Completed 11.55km. Still not enough to write a review & feedback on it. What can I say so far.. this shoe is awesome in terms of cushioning & support..The outsole was great.. the forward facing lugs give me a traction when I tackling uphill, as I transition from the midfoot and back to the heel, I can break going downhill with excellent traction. However, if you are a minimalist lover.. I dont think you might like this kind of shoe..haha.. The weight is 310 gram.. compare to minimalist shoe weight range about less than that. The shoe insole stated "Leadville 100 Miles" which we assume can go up to ultra distance.. I havent try to that distance yet.. but Im excited to try it out with 50km as a start.

Great taste & still maintain the quality of food as before..!! Rasa macam nak tambah order lagi satu je.. Haha..Cukupla satu pinggan.. later ade dessert pulak... A good place to have lunch/dinner with friends & family. How much it cost me per plate? RM9.80.

New Shoe in my shoe rack...

Salomon Ultra Sense 3 HG (Left) & New Balance Leadville 1210v2

Which one you prefer..Tough for you to decide right?? I just had NB Leadville 1210v2 two days ago & tested today morning with a short trail run (8km) at Kiara Trail. Review will be out soon.. Not to short since I'm going to test more soon with longer distance..

From hiking to road running.... To try out what what is the best for myself & my passion.. Never estimate yourself in exploring in new things

Okay.. Lets see what I do once I came back from Gunung Kinabalu..

Can you imagine from hiker to road runner?? Its totally different type of sports... Nevermind dont estimate yourself to explore a new things.. Advised by a friend of mine, if I want to start running buy a pair of cheap shoe first. So there you go... my first road running shoe "Puma Faas" which I bought at al-Ikhsan cost RM150.. consider cheap though compare to other brand like Brooks, Asics & Nike.. Run.... run.. & run... 3 times a week without using any apps tracker/any gps watch...yeah. I'm a newbie in running so why should I need that.... until to the extend was recommended a Nike+ running apps. So play around the apps, turning on the handphone gps & start running. My first distance recorded was 5km completed in 45 minutes.. very slow.. very slow.. very slow.. "I need to improve my timing"!!. So I google in internet & look for more info & study on how to improve my timing.... It took me about a month to improve my timing for 5km in 30 minutes.. Since I started an outdoor activities in hiking, I also need to track my hiking activities in handphone apps.. Changed from Nike++ to Endomondo tracker..What else I change after that.. Yeah.. a new shoes.. "Brooks Purecadence 3" cost me RM350 at Brooks, The Curve. I bought this shoe for my preparation "Securities Commission Charity Run 2014, Energizer Night Run 2014 (15km) & TM Fan Run 2014 (15km). Till today.. "Pure Cadence 3" still in my shoe rack....
