HOEKVLAG

I honestly understand your frustration as I've had similar struggles with Telkom, MTN and various others, but for some reason I've not had any problems with Discovery - maybe I shouldn't say that out loud here... My workouts goes through from My Edge 500, 800 and the FR15 without fail (using Garmin Connect) and when I did the Barberton race a couple of weeks ago I realised the results were out because I got the 1500 Vitality points on the evening of the race (updated automatically). In addition I've always gotten the cash back for Healthy Gear purchases and I received my running shirt within two weeks of joining the club! I really hope you get sorted and I trust that it will as in my experience they are not the worst out there...

Hi Gerald The way I see it the 10, 15, 25% cash back actually has nothing to do with the Shoe Booster, but it is the normal cash back for the Healthy Gear. I've bought a number of items with the Vitality Healthy Gear logo (as shown on the screen capture), both online and in the shop and have always gotten the cash back. It is, however, only once the billing cycle is complete. From their reply it does look like they didn't pick it up as a Healthy Gear item and I'm sure it will be sorted.

I have the 2014 VIPA and really enjoy it - great all-round bike IMHO. I also like the fact that they seem to be supporting/sponsoring a number of local athletes/teams.

I joined the TV running club and activated the Shoe Booster last week Thursday. Initially heard nothing about the club, but received a mail yesterday (showed active from last week) to choose the shirt/vest and get the welcome pack delivered. Bought shoes from SW and the Shoe Booster shows as activated in the app. Will have to monitor closely...

Great news! looks like I'm doing the CTCT again next year...

What a great race! Did the Ultra for the first time and boy it was tough - loved it though... Personally I feel the route is more or less spot on now - tough, but doable - and it offers a lot for everybody. Will definitely be back. Only concern is that the water tables from where the Ultra rejoined the Marathon and then the 48km route started running out of Coke and Powerade - only water left - and I was mid pack in the Ultra. If you are out there that long you really do need more than water. I realize it was very hot and humid so the guys were probably drinking a lot, but this could be improved on for next year. Fortunately the guys at the waterpoint at the top of the last climb out of the valley were kind enough to give me a beer - and that got me to the finish line! Again, really great race that will keep me coming back!

Heard about this afterwards. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP

If it rained fairly heavily the road might be washed away slightly in places, but that just makes all the climbing that much more fun! A bit of mud is fine, but I really don't like mudfests... I'm also starting to get nervous for my first real Ultra.

I'll just have one bottle with me on the ultra, but there are ample water points so I'll stop if necessary. I will definitely look out for the FLUGON gazebo!

Beautiful!

You'll be fine, my low gear is a 28:36....

Entered the Ultra for the first time - really need to step up the training...

Entered the Ultra this time round... Scary thought, but at least I now have enough motivation to train over the festive season!

Epic trip!

Hi Kyle If you are interested I can send you the GPX file for the route. It is flat and fast - <400m of climbing in the 60km route - but the wind can get you on a bad day!

Incredible!

I struggle to average 80% HR on the trainer, but have to run just lightly faster to manage it on the treadmill. Hence I've started running a bit more (and quicker), so the rewards system has motivated me and improved my running fitness - which is probably more or less what they are trying to achieve. I am, however, still hoping that the next revision would reward longer efforts at over 70%...

I got 3000 points for the Route 42 race yesterday - HR based. With the last of the bulk training for Sani over the next couple of weeks that's no going to help my goal at all...

Mine was delivered this morning as well! Can't wait to get home and fit them - probably have to wash the bike first though...

Windowlene definitely the way to go.

I for one, ordered a pair based on this thread...

Brilliant post! Hopefully balance will be restored soon.

I stick to the Motorex stuff - wet and dry - and it works for me...
