    After my back injury I had to change to something with a bit of a cushion. Honestly I still prefer the vibrams, I like the feedback response from the ground and the shoes are "fast" and direct. Currently I using the saucony kinvara shoes.

    Hmmm. Yes the priorities...Currently I'm only doing about 2 hours of running a week. Qualifier not so sure I know what you are talking about. Nothing planned I'm just trying to get running fit.

    How do you guys balance the cycling and the running? Or is it one of those things that just takes a long time to adapt to

    This is my valley. Welcome to the hills. I want to finish the 10 km. From what I can see last years route 21 had about 270 m of climbing and the 10 about 120

    Comrades has always been on my bucketlist. I have been running on and off the last year due to a back injury (bike crash). My question is how many months of constant running do you need before you can start a comrades program? What would my first time target be over a 5km to be able to finish comrades? Currently im folowing a 5 km program of 10 weeks.

    My flattest 5km has got 45m of climbing. I'm still looking for a flat road in Midrand

    I haven't used my unit that long. But if you are planning to use it for about 20 hours I thing the power save mode of 1 reading every 60 sec are sufficient. How long does your units battery currently last? If you only use it for training it is supposed to go for 11 hours on high accuracy GPS. As the battery gets older the battery life will also start to drop. My suggestion is to use your currently battery life in comparison to the 11 hours and then determine which setting is going to give you enough time to complete your event. Once the battery is almost completely flat. The GPS will turn off. This is to protect your data from getting lost. Once this happens you will have about 30 min left of time tracking and HR readings.
