  1. A lot of the Bus Drivers did not deliver it would appear.
  2. Also 178cm, oscillating between 83 and 85kg. Target 79kg though people say I’m skinny (that’s because I was fat). I last drank alcohol in 2021. Prefer chicken and fish to red meat though. I take my coffee with milk I recently got into cycling. Bought Large GB on account of OEM recommendations though it feels gigantic now
  3. Was going well until last Thursday, twisted my ankle on hill repeats. Horrible pain. Missed the weekend long runs. Might have to reconsider Two Oceans but I think there’s still time for the comrades. I am riding pain free though.

  5. My 2023 Benefits, being on diamond Apple Watch 100% paid for, except the activation fee (Previously a Garmin Watch 50% off. Paid the difference with miles. Did the transaction on the 15th so saved 30%. Paid nothing out of pocket) Nike Running shoes two pairs @ 60% for the first 2k. Paid difference with miles(15th). Nothing out of pocket Gravel Bike at Sportmans, 25% off first 2K. Paid difference with miles. Paid only 2000k out of pocket for a 12K bike Return flight KMB to CPT at 50% off. To run Two Oceans. 50% discount on entry fees (in the form miles). Two Oceans, Johnson Crane and Soweto Marathons. Health Checks 100% Plus miles earned for Healthy foods, fuel, healthy baby (came handy after new born), Costs i. Bankig Suite 260pm (Platinum) normal industry fee ii. Vitality 360pm grudge iii. Team Vitality 480 or so pa, lower than community club fees iv. DHMS expensive v. Life Policy normal Considering that some of this costs I would have paid anyway (e.g migrated from STD Bank paying over 300pm for banking, and Life policy with OM) I would say it is worth it. It pays for itself at least one time over. Plus it is an investment in self. I know my sugar numbers and my good cholesterol from my bad one.
  6. That's news to me. I know some people who used it for qualifying I'm not sure they are aware. Others used it to qualify for Two Oceans, which was a last chance this weekend. What is your source, I can't find anything on that.
  7. Thank You. The zero duty is great. I don't know why I never thought of eBay, just browsed through it. More variety than Chrono24, I'm bound to find something. Amazon has great new ones.
  8. Has anyone used Chrono 24 here? Do we pay duties over and above listed? How is the service? Any risk of knockoffs? I have been eyeing a beautiful Mako 40, which I want to put a Nato strap on and abuse the hell out of it. Any suggestion for a local (GP) stockist?

    947 Ride Joburg

    I am unable to race and have one entry. Are substitutions allowed?
  10. The goal is to run a 4h15 marathon on the 4/5 November (undecided on Soweto or Kaapse) and then ride 947 on the 19th. I'm happy with the generated plan for the week. So far the best integration I've seen of any available resources on the web. For me though it feels heavier on the long rides than runs. I'd have it the other way around. Also as already mentioned here somewhere, I'm already in my 2h30-3h00 long runs, a 1h30 Sunday run will be counterproductive. If it can somehow pick that up from loaded workouts and consider that, that would be great (in my case 10 days' worth of activities would have revealed the last two weekend's LSD) Also, I wanted to input dates into the goal after noticing I didn't, I couldn't do that and I couldn't simply create another one as I have reached my limit. Other than that, the plan is not far off from what I'm doing. I pay for coaching subscriptions and applications and with some refinements, I wouldn't mind paying for this. Also, do I jump to today on the plan or do wait for Monday? Or is Monday simply Day 1 of the plan? **Training Plan:** Monday: - Run: Easy run for 45 minutes at a comfortable pace. - Recommended pace: 6:30-7:00 min/km. Tuesday: - Rest day: Focus on recovery and stretching. Wednesday: - Run: Interval training. - Warm up for 10 minutes, then perform 5 sets of 800-meter intervals at a faster pace. - Jog or walk for 2 minutes between each interval. - Cool down with a 10-minute easy jog. - Total running time: 45 minutes. Thursday: - Cycling: Endurance ride for 1 hour and 30 minutes. - Maintain a steady pace and focus on building endurance. - Recommended speed: 25-28 km/h. Friday: - Rest day: Focus on recovery and stretching. Saturday: - Run: Long run for 1 hour and 30 minutes. - Focus on maintaining a comfortable pace and gradually increasing the distance covered. - Recommended pace: 6:30-7:00 min/km. Sunday: - Cycling: Endurance ride for 2 hours. - Maintain a steady pace and focus on building endurance. - Recommended speed: 25-28 km/h. Monday: - Run: Easy run for 45 minutes at a comfortable pace. - Recommended pace: 6:30-7:00 min/km.
