    If you using your Garmin strap then it is Ant+, you will need to get a dual BLE HR strap as ipad does not pick up Ant+ unless you connect a dongle, get something like the wahoo Tickr. Then you will be able to use it with your ipad and garmin

    Still holding thumbs for Weymouth in September, but the possibility is slowly dwindling. We should hear about Durban alternatives today.

    I have the original Stryd, works fine. Their app and analysis of your run post training or racing has come a very long way and is very in depth now which I like. I would also like to upgrade to the latest with wind algorithm etc, but also can't get around to paying that amount. Will have to wait until the current Stryd dies of old age or there is sale special somewhere. Sounds like the Runn is the best option for you.

    I don't do Zwift run but have run and trained with a Stryd foot pod for the last 2 yrs, it has improved my speed work, and quality of running when running to power rather than running to pace or HR. Especially when it comes to running the longer distances and for the rolling hill terrain courses, it is much easier to pace. Have heard good things about the RUNN sensor, easy to fit and accurate. You will however only be using it on the treadmill, where as the Stryd foot pod you can used on the treadmill for interval training, zwift via bluetooth and can also use when out on the road. I think you have a garmin, so you can easily have all the Stryd power data on your watch. I now only train and race on power with the occasional glance to check on HR. Having run on power for so long i know that if i stick to the power that I want to run at I know that I don't generally have to worry about HR. The cheapest option is a Zwift Runpod.

    As highlighted by others, you are doing it your own home, same as me, where it is just you and your family, you are not out in the public domain stressing your body and immune system where you have a higher potential of catching it off someone. As Dale says, sweet spot workouts can be beneficial.

    From the link on the sms Watch your exercise points increase your Discovery Miles balance We know it isn't easy to work out and keep moving while you’re at home – which is why we will reward Discovery Bank clients with Vitality Money even more for making the effort during this challenging time. For each exercise point you earn, we'll reward you with one Discovery Mile. Making your workouts work for you. That means if you earn 100 Vitality exercise points this week, we'll reward you with 100 Discovery Miles in your Discovery Miles account. All the exercise points that have been captured from 18 April 2020 until 29 May 2020 will be rewarded in Discovery Miles, and will be allocated weekly on a Friday.

    With the website being down and the max points per day is 300, you will only likely get max of 2100 point/miles per week?

    I suspect level 4 you will be able to walk the dog or go for a walk and nothing strenuous that could affect the immune system. The document issued yesterday clearly states jogging and cycling only at level 3

    Yes from what have read, in the link Frosty posted above... Virgin Active has launched an online platform to help you keep active during this stay at home period. Download the Virgin Active app or visit virginactive.coach and log in with your MyVirginActive credentials and get started. To ensure that we continue to reward you for keeping active, for every workout or combination of workouts over 30 minutes you can earn 100 Vitality points per day, during the stay at home period. Each day you will have a new opportunity to earn points just by doing another 30+ minute workout. Terms and conditions apply.

    Its not new coming out of China. There is also the Magene Gravat that has been around for a while (2017). The ironic thing is, it is a copy of the Kickr....... then wahoo copied elements of the Gravat for the Kickr core. https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/08/magene-gravat2-smart-trainer-in-depth-review.html

    Core broadcasts cadence, speed and power. All you need is a cassette. I have a core! Edit: MEASURES SPEED, DISTANCE, POWER, AND CADENCE Get these vital cycling metrics on your indoor ride on the KICKR CORE without connecting any extra sensors. https://eu.wahoofitness.com/devices/bike-trainers/kickr-core-indoor-smart-trainer-single

    Did some searching, think it came about from an article in the Witness looking at dates if Comrades is postponed. Speculating at the dates of Oct 4 or Nov 15 https://www.pressreader.com/south-africa/the-witness/20200415/281874415534282
