  1. We used to get a smoothie voucher for making your goal which is now 40 coins. So I kind of expected a minimum of at least 40 coins to keep the reward the same. But looking at the game board that I got this morning ... 20 possible picks with the following 1x diamond 1x 100 2x 50 2x 40 4x 30 10x 25 Somehow this just doesn't have the same motivation. Just saying. Unless you stack your plays on the game board and play all 5 plays on the same board maybe then you should have a bigger chance of getting something other than a 25
  2. Thanks all for the birthday wishes
  3. Will try the “insure” drive app option tomorrow on my 4km journey. But it will take me the whole week to get to 100km.
  4. How quickly do you guys recon the entries will fill up this time around?
  5. Thanks Iron. I worked hard for this one. Consistency pays off.
  6. Thanks Stretch And to think that I was worried before the start that I will be missing it by a few secondes, I made the sub 60 with a fair amount. Must say I am very proud on my new 10km PB
  7. There is a program function on the Polar website You pic the distance, the race date and so one. It then calculates the program for you based on your settings. You can move exercises around, allocate additional rest days. It also adjusts the program from time to time. They also have a race predictor times for 5km 10km half and full marathon based on your current training results. I have followed the 5 and the 10km programs before and the prediction times was out by 10 - 20 seconds on each.
  8. I would love for this to be true.
  9. I went to the big red barn on Sunday for the 21km hosted by trail adventure. The overall route was fairly flat but legs felt heavy from the previous days wattbike session. The first 10km was nice and easy and I managed a good pace. The next 5km was more technical with lots of twists and turns and short ups and overs which killed my legs. The last 5 was pure mental, but I survived. Overall I am very happy and finish just under 2:20.
  10. How was everyone's running weekend? I saw a few of you did wanderers, how was is?
  11. That will only mean more subs. Not that I care... I think they must change to process that you can only enter once you have qualified.
  12. Im also still running and riding. Plan is to do R4V Then the 2 day cosmos trail run in clarens Maybe the satellite classic Then kaapsehoop 42
  13. Did the pre run of the Midrand striders half marathon today. Good news ... it is a new route... still a tough route but very nice. Got about 6-7 km of dirt roads in the second half
  14. Yesterday I had one of my best runs since my back injury end of 2014. It's the small milestones that makes all the training and rehab worth it at the end.
  15. Going to Ngwenya logde on Friday. How safe is it to run alone on that road towards Komatipoort?
  16. I had a pair of Saucony Kinvara's. The were very nice in the beginning but started going down at about 400km, I continued using them until 730km but they are now my fishing shoes as they are no good for anything else. I am now running in the Freedoms. It so far so good. Overall a much better shoe for me than the Kinvara. As for durability I am now only on 90km.
  17. Weekend club runs that I know. Midrand Striders have sunday club runs (building blocks Harry galaun) , non members pay R10 And Kyalami running club have saterday club runs (beaulieu bird park) not sure if there is a cost for non members

  20. One from my last trip to buffelspoort
  21. Which lense did you use here and f stop to achieve the nice looking blury backgroud?
  22. What is this “Thermal” stuff you are talking about... I have a rule that goes like this: If my first ascent long pants and and a long sleeve shirt with my cycling wind jammer and cycling long finger gloves are not sufficient... then it is to cold for outside! Go to the gym or to the couch. I get cold very easy and also dont have a problem applying my rule.
