  1. Tailwind has a few on special, like the Lemon 30 servings. Have you guys used the lemon? Or is the naked flavor the best?
  2. Not myself, but two friends swear by them. I cannot make up my mind if it will be them or if it will be the trusted NB the next time. It is a nice time to buy Peregrines now, with the nice looking ones that's out now. What I have picked up on my Saucony Triumph was that the materials did break at the back of my ankle and then on top of my big toe there seems to be close to giving in as well. But this is very critical, the rest still looks great and the soles lasted longer than I originally thought it would. They are on 1,000 now and still looking good for a lot. It is just compared to my Brooks Ghost that has 1,000 and 1,500 on them and they don't have any material tears or breakages. But as I said, very critical, but not sure how tough their materials is compared to Brooks for one.
  3. I don't know that model, but myself and a few of my friends are a bunch of just plain average Joe's that are very happy with the New Balance Summit KOM (previously 910's)
  4. So whilst we are on the shoes and socks subject, how are these Versus socks? I just love my little bit thicker Falke arch support socks, but they seem to be discontinued. https://www.versussocks.co.za/product-category/running/
  5. I read that Tom Tom support has pulled out of the country

  7. Garmin Forerunner So does mine and you guys are way quicker than I am! The 235 does 13 hours now. Otherwise 735 or 935. Look for specials on the 735 as well as it is on it's way out it seems. May I be nasty and mention that I can get a 735 for R4,199 and a 935 for R5,519 if I wanted it?
  8. I was trying to find it on Strava thanks. Would you recommend the 20 rather then for such a weekend and considering its leading up to comrades. Still two months out, but I guess you will take some serious time to recover from that?
  9. Will make it part of a Comrades LSD then. Can't imagine that there will still be entries left of the only 150 available, but holding thumbs.
  10. Thanks Dave, I saw this one last night. Do you know the race? How rough is the 40? I don't want to spoil the rest of the weekend, the idea is not to be hammered for the rest of the weekend but rather just to add a trail run to the weekend. Then I would rather just do the 20, but if the 40 is not to hectic then that will be it.
  11. Is there perhaps a nice trail race on 22-24 March that one can make a weekend of that you guys know of? Not to far out of the states preferably.
  12. Had a look at his instagram again the other day. He is MAD as well! What a machine...
  13. I'm screwed since a water ski episode in the first week of December. The physio recon it is the Bursa's, it just does not want to go away.

  15. Has anybody injured their Bursa in their knees, specifically behind the knee?
  16. https://www.runnersworld.co.za/gear/hit-the-trails-with-these-4-shoes-youll-love/?mc_cid=240cae9c10&mc_eid=223ee348cb Here you go...
  17. That is if she can make it to the starting line!
  18. I am really not an expert on this, but I fail to see where the "energy" comes from with tailwind. I can wrap my head around where it comes from when eating potatoes or food, but looking at this nutritional info, compared to Hammer Endurolytes fizz and capsules that we use for electrolytes replacements, it shows that I don't understand this stuff as I fail to see where it comes in when I compare them. In fact Hammer fizz beats tailwind in most of the ingredients, but yet it has 10 calories and tailwind 100 per serving? https://tailwindnutrition.co.za/product/tailwind-caffeinated-endurance-fuel-large-50-serving/ http://www.hammernutrition.co.za/shop/nutrition-during/endurolytes-fizz http://www.hammernutrition.co.za/shop/nutrition-during/endurolytes-extreme
  19. Agreed, Adidas is one of the narrowest I have tried.
  20. What? Not a good few years for her then. Seems like Charne as well?
  21. More feedback on the Tailwind as yet Dave? Also do you guys use the caffeine one or the non? Flavours?
  22. If our local stores stocked Saucony's, I might have used them above my Brooks which I absolutely love. Every time I use my Saucony Triumph's I just realize how good they feel.
  23. I and 3 of my friends are on the NB 910's, now they are now on the summit KOM. His wife has the peregrine 8's and swear it is the best ever. I do have a pair of road Triumph's and know how great they feel, thus me wondering to perhaps give the peregrines a try after a lot of good feedback. So I'm just sitting between knowing how trustworthy the NB is and perhaps taking a chance with an even better pair in the peregrine.
