    During December, my wife tested positive and almost ended in hospital. I also developed symptoms, but test came back Negative, WTF is up with that? I had mild symptoms, but also struggling to start training. Tired most of the time. biggest issue is with work as I feel my concentration and mental abilities is affected. So I feel dumb, tired and ADHD-like.

    Currently sitting with Sciatic nerve issue. Seems to have caught it early. Mainly due to lockdown six months not stretching properly, did not do any gymwork, long hours in front of the laptop, nou is ek gef**. Left leg is sort of "dumb" when I run. Having to do physio and a lot of pilates type exercises. Luckily no issue on the bike Anyone had experience with this?

    Question relating to trail shoes. I switched from new balance to Hoka's. I now roll an ankle in almost every race, and I am now starting to think it might be the shoes fault. Anyone had similar experience? Maybe a lower heel to toe drop shoe will be more stable?

    I Also did the 22K trailrun Was a good route, mix between fast sections, and tough techicall sections was well balanced. managed to come in at 2:02

    I took the plunge a month ago and got myself a coach. not face to face coach, just a simple training plan that is reviewed every 3 weeks. Aim is to do SA's cross country in September. I am 40-44, so we run 8km my first league race is in two weeks. As a prep, I had to race Voortrekker monument Vasbyt 10km last weekend. it is a crazy hard route, mostly trails, and over 10km, elevation is 260m. in one month, my speed is up, strength on the climbs are up. Managed to finish 10th overall. best R450 I spent this month

    Yes, the Japanese are very reserved and quiet, not vibey and noisy like SAFAS. in the starting shutes its really quiet, and everyone minding their own business However, I did a trailrun in my first year in the north of Japan, that was absolutely fantastic.. below is a article I wrote on it for a blog http://trailrunner.co.za/2017/08/jolling-in-japan-storm-troopers-and-mud-a-trail-run-in-niigata/

    Whinge?? you know what, you are right actually.. At the time I was seriously homesick after two years in Japan and the race itself/crap weather was just the final straw, I just wanted to GTFO. But while I was there I did a few marathons in Japan and also in Hongkong, and Tokyo for me personally did not live up to the hype. If I compare Tokyo, Fuji and Yokohama, which is three of their flagship events, it for instance does not come close to example Oceans. Right from the whole experience starting from the expo, build up and the race vibe itself, all of them was for me a bit of a disappoint to me .
