    Hmmmm..."Hydrogels"..? The drink instantly converts to hydrogel in the acidity of the stomach, encapsulating the carbohydrates. The hydrogel then enables a smooth transportation of the sports drink through the stomach to the intestine where the water, salt and carbohydrates are absorbed. They'll have to show me a peer reviewed medical study proving that these hydrogels work before I believe thats its just purely marketing claims with no real basis. And if all it is is a similar recipe to Maltrodextrin + Dextrose/Fructose (2:1) then why on earth would I pay so much for it when I can get those raw products at a fraction of the cost? In summary...I don't believe.

    Worst thing about this is; if you save this route under your own profile Strava gives you your goal time....thats messing with your head!

    I don't want to tempt lightening to strike but so far all my training is going to plan. Nice 3 week build finished off last week with Robor 50km on Sunday which felt easy the whole way. Rest week this week with 8km TT this morning that had me running a time I was very happy with. All on track currently with another big 3 week block coming up before Comrades. Happy with where my training is. Positive enough?

    What an awesome idea. I'm going to do that....lost many vouchers to them expiring.

    Two options: 1.) Move your treadmill into a small room and train with no ventilation to try and improve your heat acclimitisation 2.) Don't worry about it. Its the weather...it might rain, it might be hot, it might be windy, it might be perfect, it might be Boston 2018.

    I haven't seen many coaches or training plans recommending two marathons in two weeks. Most recommend 3 weeks at least as you mentioned, but that doesn't mean you can't do it if you are running both easy. Also depends on your next race? How long do you have to recover post Deloitte before your next race?

    hard to tell because I ran to the race but mine looks almost exactly spot on. Seconds difference maybe.

    I had 750 736m odd.

    There was a clock on the right hand side near the end of the finish chutes, just before the tables where they handed out medals/collected the slips with your information on

    You shut your mouth when you're talking to me . That show is amazing...I cannot wait for Season 4. I can see why its not everyone's cup of tea but once you get into it...best ever
  16. travisza
    I do. Good idea, I'll try that

    I have a question on swimming pools and your kreepy crawly....recently mine has constantly been traveling up the walls of the pool and sucking a large amount of air before sinking back into the water. Obviously not great for the pump. Any ideas on how to stop it sucking so much air? Is it just a case of putting one of those weights near the kreepy to try and force it down sooner?
  18. travisza
    Thanks, was chuffed with the result in the end.
  19. travisza
    Tell me about it. I'm only just able to walk now and its more of a shuffle. Sunday and Monday were terrible. Makes me nervous for Comrades next year.
  20. travisza
    Any truth behind this or are you just guessing? Genuinely interested
  21. travisza
    Love that show. And that episode was classic!
  22. travisza
    Can't believe the numbers already. I'm in

    Open 7am. R25 per rider (I never park there so not sure the cost of a car) And yes you can ride there.
  24. travisza
    I cant tell if its a joke or not? I want to say joke.

    Do you guys park at the circus itself? Is there a safe place to leave your car?
