    Thanks a mil....

    Did you get any more feedback from them regarding Safe Dayz. Mine is still a farce. Even on days I haven't driven I'm still not getting points?
  3. EmptyB
    Agreed, hence my mails to them.

    That's exactly what I asked them via email about two weeks ago. Still getting conflicting stories from 2 different momentum staff who will revert back to me to "clarify" the situation. I'm so over spending time and energy querying things with them at the moment I actually don't give a sh*t right now. I'm on private club and know I can maintain that status with the policies I have with them plus the silly questionares, active days etc etc. I'll deal with it as the year progresses and take the R500 into my healthsaver account every month...

    This is how it was for me last year as I said in a previous post...

    You can do a health assessment anytime as I understand it. They will however only pay for it once a year. I was on green last year, did my latest health assessment on 28 Dec 2017. Better results but I moved down to amber cos my blood pressure on that specific day was marginally out of their norms. All my other readings were an improvement. It's farcical actually. Go the next day and your blood pressure could be within their acceptable range. It's all pedantic bullsh*t to make it more unachievable

    What type of injuries if I may ask?
  8. EmptyB
    I believe you now!! Only took about 6 months ????. To be fair, I was only running once a week for a good few months....was spending so much time on the bike!

    Makes perfect sense....so no stretching beforehand in your opinion?
  10. EmptyB
    Sounds similar to my routine ????...hence my question.
  11. EmptyB
    I'm pi$$ poor at warming up properly, maybe why my calves are tight for the first km or two!! Any idea why your hamstrings are tight?
  12. EmptyB
    Again, sorry if it's already been covered on this thread but please could you more experienced runners briefly explain your warm up/stretching routine before you hit the road for your run. Thanks in advance..........

    Your "Oprah" speech was good reading and is so true!! I remember my first MTB race of 20kms out near Harties. Think my average speed was about 12km and i slept in the car the whole way home

    Well worth doing and inexpensive by comparison to most. Riding through the entire night is testing but getting near the end at sunrise was amazing. Hope you guys have less mud this year!! Great experience overall...

    Never go a day without Vit C 1000....

    I activated safe dayz last year. Worked fine initially then came to a grinding halt. Haven't had a safe day since mid December even on days I did no driving at all. I've tried everything they suggested so I've left it activated but given up trying to get answers out of them!! Thanks for your input Gen... you've got more tolerance than me!!

    I'm also slow but I don't care (thanks to what I've read on this thread). I can see me trend is getting faster and it's without pain!! I'll keep on gradually upping my distance and consistency and worry about speed in due course. Without doubt the running has improved my cycling pace and climbing...

    Glad you shared this cos I'm almost a mirror image of what you described. Started running again in June last year though. Have taken it easy and have taken a lot of advice on here too. My biggest mistake was sticking to k@k running shoes for months though. Visited two specialist running shops and a unanimous decision was made on what shoes I need. Massive difference and niggling pains are gone. Next step was decent running watch, now I monitor everything properly. Running is still just more training for my cycling at this stage but I'm definitely getting more into it and loving it. Thanks at Lexx too for telling me to stick to it. At first I thought bugger this pain....running sucks!! Totally different outlook now though.

    We're you going to buy one of the last new 110 frames or 2nd hand?
  20. EmptyB
    I was standing right behind you guys at the front of B batch...very surprised to see only 3 of you?! What did you think of the route on a gravel bike btw?
  21. EmptyB
    Bought the Vivoactive 3 last week...amazing piece of kit!!
  22. EmptyB
    Cool thanks. I've queried quite a few things already with them...then just lost the energy to deal with the incompetence of some of the people I got through to!!
  23. EmptyB
    Not to mention safe dayz. Looking at social media in general, it doesn't look like anyone's bloody safe dayz are working properly!?
  24. EmptyB
    Do you not get these points when the contracts/policies come up for renewal... whatever time of the year that may be?
  25. EmptyB
    I don't really struggle to get points either but to go from 180 to 80 is just not cool...
