  1. I'm under no illusion that the OMTOM is not going to be a parkrun, but I can see myself adding 14kms on top of what I have done, even if that includes Constantia neck. But adding another 42 on top of the 42 and then another 5 odd for good measure, that maths does not work so lekker....
  2. I also had some sinus/flu the past 2 odd weeks, but luckily it was just above shoulder height. Nothing into the chest so I continued slowly and sweat the bugs out. The 30 long run was quite fun on an "empty tank", but everything is good again now. Well, I will know for sure after Saturday's 42..
  3. I've got that predicament as well.... But somehow the 50 days extra gives me more butterflies in the tummy...
  4. It's going to be terrifying if that does not take your mind of the 100 days...
  5. Yup 104 odd. One thing we cannot have too much of is hills, go klap them... I wish we had longer ones here.
  6. Seems you have the answer Lexx...
  7. It does look like very nice! If you had to choose between the two, which would you do?
  8. Anybody completed both the trail and the ultra the next day in the Two Oceans?
  9. Did you have both race numbers on?
  10. Poobies must have done a nice deal with these Glide 9's, they cost R1,900 - R2,000 otherwise. Fitted them yesterday for interest sake, feels VERY nice. Kinda soft underfoot. https://www.poobienaidoos.co.za/shop/adidas-supernova-9-mens/ https://www.poobienaidoos.co.za/shop/adidas-supernova-mens/
  11. Our fees are R300 for the first family member and R200 for the rest, in total.
  12. This morning was the first time we got wet during a run the last 9 months. Very light but constant drizzle. How de heck do you get yourself to go train in that, constantly.
  13. "10 Weeks to OMTOM" Why does that suddenly sound so short...
  14. WOW https://shop.adidas.co.za/supernova-glide-9-shoes-155477.html
  15. +3 Our annual fees are cheaper than the virtual fees as well, unless I'm going crazy.
  16. A 3:33 for a first marathon..... :eek: We are seriously doing something wrong.. Congrats, fantastic result (non-result) that! She will take a LOT of heart from knowing she can do that!
  17. They don't have hidden socks, only long ones?
  18. I currently run with Falke AR1 hidden socks. However I have a spot in my Brooks that irritates me and I have found that with thicker socks it is much better, to the extent that it is almost gone. I have found that my trail running falke's works great, but I'm just concerned that they might become a bit too hot (not sure I'm going to be able to get past this with thicker socks) and I also don't like the fact that they are not hidden but ankle lenght. Is there socks in the other brands that might be the ones that I'm looking for, as I can't find the right ones here... Or should I get the 1000 mile double layers?
  19. Our year started off different than planned, so we sticked to our training program and downscaled the 42 to a 21. It was a very nice weekend and a very nice race. The whole weekend was organised very very well. We had a bit of cold this weekend so after sunset there was a chilly breeze. It would've turned a bit cold for the guys (like we would've been) that was out late on the marathon route.
  20. Guide is their stability shoe. Ride and triumph is neutral
  21. Scott, would the Asics stability shoes not have been a better choice if you pronate a lot or why did you go the nimbus route? Anybody knows if you get the gt1000 and gt2000 also in wide fits? My wife is in NB light stability now and although she did not like the nimbus at all (I was also not fond of my cumulus AT ALL), she was mostly unhappy with the nimnus because the seams caught her little toes and the shoe was too narrow. Now they are also seamless and if they come in wide fit, perhaps the gt range is something to look into for her in the future? PS: This shoe question is for my wife, so it does not add to my at least half a dozen shoes questions right?
