    Have CSA published their YE2016 account yet? They don't appear on the CSA website with the previous years accounts and based on previous years, their YE was August - 9 months ago!

    Got that part.just wondering abt the protocol of the following. A normal commute would be around 18km, but what if I did my normal training ride of 40-50km and then went straight to work without going back home. Would the whole distance be considered a commute?

    also just started the cycling commute (thrice so far). Am going to try do it on most Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays. Only takes me 30-35 min to get to work which may be quicker than driving, certainly less stress, but 50-55 min to get home.

    Dracs, Still a long way to go and another 6 weeks of decent training can certainly get you there. You are 100% right in that Comrades is a mind game. Everyone hurts at 60K, it's just telling your legs and body to keep going.

    easily, oceans is an easy marathon and 14k of a little vasbyt. will also be running on a wing & a prayer.

    can't comment on the compression socks as I've never used them. Get in a few physio sessions and do the strengthening exercises. Plenty of time still to train for a qualifier and comrades so don't rush back, If you aggravate it to a grade 2 it could be months instead of weeks. When you do come back start small and increase the milage slowly, maybe only running every second day and run only flat routes for the first couple weeks. Got the T-shirt(s).

    if it's a small calf tear (grade 1) then you should be able to get on the bike, particularly the IDT / Spinning bike. Do a 60 min tempo session (seated) and you'll maintain a large degree of fitness.

    remove 4 x valve caps, insert 4 x small stones, close valve caps. when he returns he'll have 4 flat tyres. a time consuming exercise to remedy with only a single spare.

    Ferret, I believe Westville have their long run (route tester) scheduled for April 17th. There will probably be some clubs running on the 16th and some on the 23/24 too. Westille, Pinetown, Chiltern, Stella, Savages, DHS Old Boys & Queensburgh all usually plan a run and often some clubs band together to assist on the water tables. Most clubs will cater for "outsiders" for a nominal fee. Just ensure you know the route. a few years ago a couple jhb chaps missed the left turn to Camperdown just after Umlass road and started to head for Richmond.
