My name is Bronson, Santa Cruz Bronson.... In black, with the Pike and the Reverb, (27.5 plus would be grand! ) Medium please! Thanks so much! Whooo-hoooooooo!
Disclaimer: I have never run a comrades. That said, a few pages back there was a debate going on about whether the sub 5 hour qualification of a marathon for Comrades was strict enough. That's a minimum entry point. To get to that minimum entry you will need to run a marathon in that time. Using RunnersWorld race predictor I put in some times and training distance to get a race prediction for sub 5. If you can run a 5K in 30 minutes, you will need to have a training plan that has 50k per week in the build up to your marathon to get a race prediction time of 4:59 and 35 seconds. To play with the variables use this link: http://www.runnersworld.com/tools/race-time-predictor I'm currently on a program looking to up the distance and it's remarkable how much the pace tapers with the extra distance! I'm sure one of the more qualified team will add more relevant info! Jackes should be a good commentator having just run his first and a consolidated post from him about the process he followed to get tot he finish this year will be your ticket! (No pressure Jackes... )
Mayweather is the more skilled fighter in terms of boxing standards, has an impeccable record and can slip attacks better than most fighters at this level. Outside of his athletic prowess, I find him the epitome of a douche bag. I will be hoping for this alone that he lays down on the canvas....
Anyone on his instagram who can confirm whether they've done a lift selfie as a couple yet? Just curious about whether he's hitched to the 'right' girl....
Not TT, but this is still the best sounding bike I've heard! (Dude clearly likes the wind through his hair over his safety when he rides the bike though....) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZH7SA6XPuc
Such a lekka little doccie this. Some history on the only 8 cylinder bike ever made and it's heritage to the TT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrS9-4s9Wvg
That was insane! That he had the presence of mind or luck or combination of both to counter steer whilst in the air is the only thing that has saved him! His leathers must need a wash after that!
Come on do it! Log your 5% bottom. In the end you're actually racing yourself more than anyone else here. Get your marker in so we can see how much you improve when something like this next rolls around! That's when the real bragging rights start! Yep elevated heart rate shows your body as being active with tackling something. Do the neck test. If you feel miff above, you're still okish to do something light. If it's below the neck with particularly muscle aches, then rest and recovery only! (Wait till you feel better closer to the end of the month before you tackle the mile challenge...)
Sounds good! I'm in. Should be a mid packer in the internal comp! Obvious that we should only do this on a flat section and not somewhere with major downhill assistance.
Scott, Scott, team management bru! You have to diversify your team and that way when one of them is tapering for an event or recovering after it, you don't have the whole team on the bench! I have a cycling connection, a triathlete buddy, a regular office fitness freak and a running tjom as my team. Getting good returns on their efforts. Only had one week since the team gig that between them two didn't hit their goals! No revs required!
The club will usually host a pre event run for its members so if you join before, you'll still get the chance to do the run and get a result, but just not on the official day of the event.
Plus the IOM TT is a different type of racing to closed circuit racing. Due to the limited space your position on the bike is different. You will notice that no one leans off the bike as that can take up an extra metre and a half of road space requirement with sweeping through a section that has both a left and right in it. Riders stay over the bike more to allow the bike the straightest path through the sections. It's accepted that it takes at least 3 years of participation at the IOM TT to properly memorize the circuit and pick your braking spots and ideal speed through the various sections, with an incremental increase in pace working up to your limit. The older guys will have the experience to stick to this plan way better than the younger hotheads, which is why you will see them up front over time!
