+1 I unfortunately disliked the Ghost 9 shoe when i went shopping for a cheaper alternative to the nimbus (even though it wasn't much cheaper at the time) , the arch support dug into my arch, even walking was uncomfortable for me. As you rightly say, each foot is different!!
I have Huge respect to everyone who did it. My mate completed his first and was last over the line at 33 hours and some change. Still he has done something that very few people can even imagine doing. Took him 5 years to get there but he did it.
For the pronators out there, I'm selling a pair of Asics GT 2000 at R850, bought them incorrectly, done 7.1km. Size 11 https://www.bikehub.co.za/index.php?app=hubmarket&module=core&do=view_item&item_id=270519&new=1
Judging by this i think OMTOM is going to have an issue with their website. I mean its bad enough that there are so many people entering the HM but to open entries for all the events simultaneously is just inviting trouble.
I remember a few years ago listening to one of coach Parry's podcasts, in which he mentioned doing gym work for the down run. This got me thinking, to the experienced runners on here, what pearls of wisdom do you have that you are willing to share with the novices for Comrades as well as those tackling their first down run?
Shhhh.......... I'm touching wood and holding thumbs as at the moment it seems to be on the way up. Decided i have already entered so will take it as it comes, either to Soweto or do a shorter distance and then help out at the club gazebo . PS Good luck to all at CT
