    What is your planned time for Vaal marathon?
  3. Mats
    I'm starting the get new road shoes hunt. Currently I am using the Saucony Kinvara and the Peregine which is both 4mm drop. Basically I am limited to what is at sportsmans warehouse so that I can use discovery's shoe booster. How big will the difference be ... should I take something that now has a 8 or 10 mm drop? Is it recommendable or should I stick to what I have? The reason why I am looking at something other than the Kinvara is that I did not last as long as I would have wanted it to last. Don't get me wrong. I like the shoes but it is starting to notice as I can feel a niggle in my one big toe after a run. I have done about 700km with them. What do you guys think?

    I have crocodile feet... needless to say my shoes don't last, no matter what I do.

    It does. If only I can get my hands on an entry.

    Thanks guys. Next up is the Vaal marathon. Yes it is a big step up. But the aim is to finish regardless of time. If I do manage to get in under 5 it will be a bonus.

    I didn't have any issues. I got stopped twice on route to wait for traffic. All the marshals and police were very effective.

    Legs were still good at the finish. Guess if I had to, I could have gone further. But I think the distance was just right for now. I don't want to over do it.

    I ran my first half marathon this weekend at the McCarthy Toyota in PTA. The aim was to finish without feeling like I want to die. I finished in a time of 2:19 Overall I am very happy with my first 21km. From here things can only get better.
  12. Mats
    It is actually on the calendar for next year. Will see how my first marathon goes and then make a decision.

    I had a awesome ride in CL Frosty and his mates controled the pace in the front and I just managed to hang on. Thanks guys you rock!

    Attended my first club TT on Tuesday since 1994. It was a big shock to my body as I am not used to the pace for the distance. I did the 8km which was actually 7.5km, what a tough little route with over 130m of climbing all in the last 4km. I survived and looking forward to do the next one... but not next week.
  16. Mats
    Well done guys. Grrr I just cannot get out of the bottom 3 based on pace.

  20. Mats

    I got the kinvaras with the shoe booster and still have a long way to go before I can boost again. At the moment I only have this one pair of running shoes. So I am looking to get something as a second pair that will be more durable. But still cannot decide if I should get a trail running shoe or a high mileage road shoe.
