    Get to a doctor or physio asap, there are lots of excerices and stretching that can resolve teh issue. I usually do barefoor speed work on a grass field once or twice a month and never had and injuries. Physios can also help with alternatives to stay fit in the down time, increasing core strenth and wattbike are great alternatives when not running

    Anyone have the seeding cart for the two oceans last year ?

    Has anyone cycled the MTB? Assume it is probably just mostly dirt roads?

    Took my Asics trabuco 11 for a 10km spin at Wolwespruit today and super impressed Grip and stability is great felt way more confident going downhill. I think I might have gona 1/2 size to big but I assume bigger is better than smaller so me left foot was sliding a but but nothing major. Going to try fix with thicker socks and maybe different lace techniques. Any recomendations for good thick running socks? Currently using falke which is already on the thicker side. First impressions of the shoe is 9/10 but will have to run it in to give a full review.

    Yeah I bought a cheap dustin at game and iced my legs after every run. Combination of foam rolling, exercise and stretching with the ice help reduced the inflation but its also critical to get the right shoes and ensure you don't overtrain which is like 90% of the cause usually

    WSportsmans Warehouse had the Trabuco 11 on sale and with additional vitality discount got them for R1300. They feel really solid just unsure on it hat size and how much space there should be in a trail shoe but took similar size to my long run shoes so wil see how it works

    Thanks will head to sportsmans tomorrow and se eif there is anything left in my size but there is also an asics factory outlet near me which will definately have a pair of trabuco's

    Ahh thanks yeah running techincal and non technical and anything from 5km to 40-50km (although only once a year). have been trying to land on my front foot to improve speed on the road but its a slow process so still a heel striker. Asics Trabuco seems to have great reviews will go try on a pair as I see they are alos on sale. Thanks

    Hey Guys, looking for some trail running shoe recommendations, I currently have the Solomon Sense Ride 3 which have been decent but no real benchmark to compare to. Here is my road running shoes rotation: Asics Magic Speed 3 Asics Nimbus 24 Nike Pegasus 38 Been looking around and found the following on special so open to any recommendations: Solomon Sense Ride 5 Hoka Speedgoat 5 Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Asics Fuji lite 4 Thanks

    I really hope they read out his email responses on National TV for all to see

    Agreed think Fordyce would do a great Job (Bester aswell but don't think he would leave his Nedbank coaching) The replies from Rowan are a joke looks like a high shcool child wrote the replies not the race director.

    Good Read - http://runningmann.co.za/2023/06/21/comrades-cutoff-debacle/ Range director clearly not taking any accountability (ALthough I do believe you have more than enough time to finish especially with the 12 hour cut off)

    Anyone know where I can get a GPX file for the Two Oceans 56km ?
  14. Zama7
    Yeah watched it last year really good but makes me feel like a baby
  15. Zama7
    Man looks amazing, how technical is W2W ? Only ever done Sani2C (awesome) and the Sabie Classic (terrible)

    I see Adrian Gore is going to try run a sub 5 minute mile end of November. Also going to attempt it current PB is around 5:18 but that was a few years ago, anyone else keen on try it ? Will post a training progarm if I find anything cool online https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/can-58-year-old-ceo-run-5-minute-mile-power-during-complex-gore/

    With regards to sizes my long run shoes are 2 sizes above my normal shoe size any recommendations on tempo shoes size? I assume 1 size above normal size should be fine as I need a bit of wiggle room but don't want to be sliding around while sprinting
  18. Zama7
    Hey Guys looking for a new neutral tempo / race shoe recommendation (5km-10km, max a 21km but maybe once every 6 months). I currently use the following Asics Gel Nimbus 23 (for long runs - with inners) Asics Gel DS Trainer 24 (tempo runs - no inner) Nike Pegasus 23 (Gym and casual runs - no inner) Budget is around R 2 000 and I prefer Nike or Asics but open to suggestions. Will probably buy from a factory shop / previous generation to get around budget. Thanks
  19. Zama7
    Hey guys so finally saved up and narrowed it down to 2 headphones (also open to other suggestions) - Jabird Vista 2 (amazon) and Jabra Elite active 4. Anyone own one of these they can recommend ? Budget around R 2k. The aftershokz but also want to use these in an office evey now and then.
  20. Zama7
    Haha yeah I see its downhill but the last 60km has some nice climbs... Did a 105km this weekend and went out to fast with my limited training I will just need to focus on starting slow and hope for good weather
  21. Zama7
    Hey guys, generally how difficult is the race or is it just far ?
  22. Zama7
    These seem good
  23. Zama7
    Yeah the Aftershokz has amazing reviews but might want earbuds I can use for daily use aswell still undecided. Heard good things from Bose SoundSport's haven't tried them. Anyone tried Jabra reviews are great but I guess it will depend on what is on sale. Will be using them most for running + gym and occasionally for cycling not sure if that makes a difference
  24. Zama7
    Hey guys so I tried the Samsung galaxy buds 2 and they kept falling out my ears, now have some credit at takealot so I assume Jabra is the best solutions otherwise maybe the new Jaybird Vista on amazon? Anyone have some new recommendations ? Thanks
  25. Zama7
    Thanks guys, I have an acer voucher but dont really need anything on the sire at the moment so was maybe looking at these ? Anyone tried them ? https://shopacer.co.za/catalog/product/view/id/895/s/jbl-under-armour-flash-true-wireless-sport-headphones-black/category/47/
