  1. the problem with my swimming is that I cannot do it on a regular basis due to various reasons. so when I finally get in the water, it is all about survival. Hopefully one day this will change.
  2. I like
  3. goeie dinges that is crazy km's. I like how you call any of these "easy". Great inspiration and good luck on the next couple of weeks. if I may ask, what is your "easy" pace?
  4. well done all for finishing. would love to do the half next year with the missus. How difficult is it do get an entry?
  5. bliksem, a 20km week for me is a lot, in fact, I am not even at 80-90km per month. well done to you guys for doing crazy km's like that on a frequent basis. good luck with oceans for all competing.
  6. looks like good fun. all the best
  7. thx for the advice so far. Just need to keep on getting out on the road and clocking the km's. Will definitely do a 21km this year. Happy running.
  8. whiteish sealent should be some kind of silicon based product. If you only want to reseale, remove old sealent, clean area properly and then re-apply new silicon.
  9. wow, that is stunning
  10. hi there, I am no where near comrades or even running a marathon, but following this thread closely. it is unreal the amount of km's you guys run, not even talking about pace. I run between 5-10km runs, try to fit in at least 2 a week. Still bumping up to be able to run a 21. Not fast at all, just trying to get time in and avoid injury. thx for the motivation you give
  11. Ok cool will have a look thx. I am fairly happy with my run and cycle training, still the swim is a challenge because of availability of facility. cheers and good luck till PE
  12. RIP Tumbles. Strength to the family and friends.
  13. Hi, yes I also got the TP app downloaded and it is working well. Thx for the programs as well. I took the sprint program, and I am currently doing more than what is in the program, expect for the swimming, which is a bit of an issue. But nice to see the format, and as you stated earlier, not going all out in every session, but sometimes doing lower effort but with more reward.
  14. in which area and what distance Zatek?
  15. ok makes sense thank you.
  16. ok thx. so will that be perceived effort or will it link directly with my HRM readings?
  17. hi shaper, ok so I registered on fittrack and got a 4 week beginner triathlon program. For some reason it does not want to let the sync happen with Strava, but I will try again later. next question, on the training program it says swimming, 00:15:00 (so 15 minutes) at 0.65 for 8 points. what is the 0.65 and how does the point system work? thx
  18. thx again for all the info shaper. and yes, I will be doing the sprint in May @ Sun City.
  19. thanks for the reply. Overall I eat pretty well, try to limit the carbs and limiting or avoiding processed stuff. I do a lot of red meat and lamb, so get enough natural fats. Will have a look and experiment with recovery shake. I used to mix a spoon full of L-glutamine with some milk, maybe try this again. I also have plenty of coffee, but that does not give me a boost, but leaves me happy. I am quite active during the day, as I work in construction, and spend a lot of time walking and climbing stairs, almost averaging about 10 000 steps per day as per my garmin. I often feel a bit moeg after a long day, and then feel it during my afternoon run.
  20. shot. not too crazy about fruits, so will watch the sugars. Did have some nuts for breakfast which I like a lot.
  21. hi, don't think I overtrain, and there are often rest days if I cannot get out of bed to train before work. I think I need to start training smarter and actually follow some sort of structure. Currently just following whatever plan comes to mind
  22. hi, thanks for this. Will try some more fresh fruits and up my water intake.
  23. Hi, So I am not training for any spectacular race or anything, just trying to get as much time as possible in with some running and cycling, not getting around to swimming. I do not do even come close to some of the ours that you guys put in on a weekly basis, but I feel my body taking some strain. Then the other issue is, feeling like eating the whole house after big sessions (for me big at least), and not being able to stay awake if I do a couple of morning sessions before work. So what do you use to keep energy levels up, what do you use as training fuel (me mostly water) and what do you do for recovery. I know everyone is different, just want to give myself the best chance to ensure my next training session is also quality. cheers
  24. very nice. what size pump are you running and how do you control your feed? thx
  25. heal up soon.
