I'm actually pretty happy with my Kobe's they're not heavy at all and lowtop, comparable to my running shoes .. the only problem is, and this is a deal breaker ... is that they're not flexible on the top so i dont get much dorsiflexion (?). if i can find a pair of shoes that have that as well i'll be super happy for a dunking shoe (and general basketball).

i've never had kobe's.. and i'm still tempted. I think I need to get a stronger shoe for MAX EFFORT slrvj... i can submax in my flats but, max effort, might be risking it a bit.. I just don't want to F up my heel.

pc!

Neither, it's my first pair and i normally wudnt get a name shoe, just dont care about that stuff. KDs stuff looked good to me but i cant be bothered paying the premium for a name. Anyway about the Kobes, i didn't get the highend pair Kobe 12 or whatever they're up to now. But i do wanna know if theyre better in the regard of flexibility up top. Lemme know if you find a good pair - i think Kobe's are close if only for the inflexibilty up top.

I jump in Puma biowebs.  I had a deal with them where I got them for nothing and I have 30 pairs.  They are in all my dunk videos.  Highly recommended.

30 pairs!? 
Wow it must have been some deal.

the high temp in DC today was 96, the high humidity was 88%. currently it's 4:30, 94 degrees and 39% humidity.

i do seriously think about moving to LA or somewhere else when i come back from pakistan.

Well.... The only positive is you do run faster and jump longer in a humid climate... So there is that... But beyond the weather Los Angeles is one of the most pleasant cities in the country... None of that east coast old money racism, less nepotism, everything except driving...  But it is now possible to live in DTLA without a car which I have been successfully pulling off since I totaled mine...

California or anywhere in los angeles, sounds like a nice place to live by the looks of it.

Try 35'C + 70% humidity, it's a nightmare, all you want to/can do is hide indoors with A/C at full blast!

Comment
It was a nice day, the sprints felt good and the strides felt long at the beginning, but I think that I probably dont transition well to upright, where the knee dont come as high as they did at the start, I think I bring the knees straight away to the level required for running upright, so will need to fix that just by coming up gradually. I also was on a hunt lol, for someone to race, the guy I wanted to race wasn't there, another guy, was doing 400s, another guy was running endurance circuit and the training group were doing 400s as well. Also one guy I would wait to race after I finish running, but he would go inside to the gym and when I run he would come out do his endurace running, I would finish wait for him then he would go again lol. I dont think he knows my plan. After I went to gym, did SLRDL first as it makes the BSS easier after, when I did 1 set of BSS, someone wanted to use the bench so I said I will do 2 more sets, so with only a minute or so rest, I did it again and waited 2 min rest and finished it off to let him on. After my forearms were very sore, so had to wait 10-15min to let it settle down, then did the sprint arm swings and then finally my first time doing woodchopper, it was difficult but managed to pull it off effectively, my left side is weaker then my right side due to difficulty more on the left side.  Then finished off session.

Rating: 7.5/10

sucks about the heat.

running distance in the heat absolutely sucks. i've come to hate it tbh.. I don't think I mind short sprints in the heat though.


as for the bus.. you had to walk all the way home?

Wait til winter comes and you'll be missing the heat. I'd prefer to run in hot and dry weather than cold and wet.

def True, but for me I don't like high temps for both sides (very hot or very cold). But I agree I also prefer hot over cold. But it just becomes difficult to cope. But during nights I def prefer cold over hot, because it is harder to cool yourself down when hot at night then it is to warm yourself up at night if cold. The bus i was riding still had the heaters lol.

Condition: 30-31 degrees celsius, 40% humidity, very hot and sunny and dry track. little breeze every now and again not very frequent.

Here 30-31 is considered a very mild summer day. If you use 'very hot' and it is below 40 people will laugh at you. When it's very hot it doesn't drop under 30 all night, you see stuff like 32 at midnight. But at least it is dry when it is that hot. Worse is when we get south winds, bringing humidity from the sea. It chills a bit, so mid 30s, but humidity goes to 60-70. Try 35'C + 70% humidity, it's a nightmare, all you want to/can do is hide indoors with A/C at full blast!

haha if you look at the pictures of 25 degrees celsius in UK, you will see people in the beach with hardly anything on trying to survive or getting a tan. I remember when I was in school and we were told what temperature it was outside (in year 4-5) I didn't know about temperatures I just thought it was from 0-100 from cold to hot weather, so it was windy and a little cold and I guessed 25 degrees celsius, lol, ofc wrong and when doing maths with the same teacher in the text book it showed people on the beach, very hot and it was written 25 degrees and she reminded me of what I said and that this is what 25 degrees is like. lol

mid 30s is the weather chilling a bit?! lol. I would run inside too if it was like that or maybe suffer heat stroke before I get a chance to run inside. The gym we have doesn't have AC, only small fans on the wall and a big fan on the floor, which I would stand in front of, but over time the fan starts blowing warm air, you have to sweat in order for the fan to make you cool lol.

Errol spence knocked out bundu severely to get the win. It generated 6mil viewers and 4.35m approx stayed for the whole fight.
I didnt watch it just this hightlight and knockout was brutal and bundu came out fast but uneffective towards the end.

I had to walk 20-25min to the town centre where all the buses go and catch that bus home, there is a bus near the gym to the town centre, but it never came so i had to walk it to the town centre.

Then in the bus it was like an oven, wow so much sweat I've never experienced before, every second sweat gathers on my forehead.
