  2. The water (and coke) thing is a bit over the top on road races. It is actually possible to run without it on (I would say) up to 21Km, even in the heat. IMO over hydration (and waste!) is a bigger problem than dehydration. So yes, I agree, some runners need to take responsibility for their behavior.

    Thanks, talent galore! (And his wife Marietjie as well) Wow, well done on that silver - I gave it a good go during the late 80's (when it was still ~12.3 Km) but alas...
  4. Rouvy is supporting Virtual Running from 1 Oct. (Beta at the moment)

    Is Michael McDermot who is riding (racing!) the same MM from Harrismith Mountain Race fame?
  6. Recent peer reviewed research on using PPG (oHR) vs HRM strap sensors: ​​Concurrent heart rate validity of wearable technology devices during trail running In other news, from Coros Global:

  9. Yip - the scientist in me is a bit pedantic We can't just interchange scientific terms because it is convenient or good for marketing. I am not disputing the benefits and the fact that it is consistent, usable etc etc, but - as you also pointed out quoting the latest study - it is not power. (I think Stryd should rather call it something else, as it is a misnomer. VOwer might be a good one
  10. Accuracy of what? A possible arbitrary measurement? https://www.outsideonline.com/2413011/running-power-meter-comparison-study

    Gravel, only the ride out of (and into) BB is tar, except for the short part on the R24 & R500. I guess approx 31 Km tar, of which ~26km (13/13) is the out and in part. Ito safety - I did the Aug series (except for the 12h) and I never felt unsafe or threatened. Water : you might probably be able to get some items at Syferbult, at approx 92 Km, but if the water point is at the same pos (~90km) again this stop might not be required.
  14. Strictly and only legally speaking - how should a cyclist* apologise (if the dog walker was negligent) so as to not put him in a possible disadvantage / liable position? (Although the ref is to an American site I believe more or less the same applies in SA?) *or any party involved in an incident / accident
  15. Yes. Did the MM 6h, 8h & 10h rides on my STF, no complaints. (2.25 at the rear)
  16. I see the ​​Saucony Endorphin Pro has landed. (R4,250.00 at a retailer in Pta)
  17. ​​Meet The Saffa Who Took On The Barkley Marathons! ?
  18. After approx 20 pairs of running with the GT 1000 series I have became a bit disillusioned with Asics. For me the 1000-8 was a disaster due to Asics changing / removing some shock absorption tech from the shoe or something. The 1000-9 uppers are quite thin and I already have holes in the uppers with not even 400 km on. (I did contact Asics SA about it. They took a pair in but never came back to me, so I guess it is time for a brand switch.) So where to next - Pegasus 37?
  19. I believe some ext facing API's have been stopped for a while from Garmin's side.
  20. https://www.strava.com/activities/3785161324 Is that the Pegasus 37 in the pics?
  21. I have seen a couple of reports stating the Pegasus 37 requires re-glueing with not even a lot of k's on. Anybody else saw similar reports? (IIRC RD Murray also mentioned it on his feed.)
