  1. It looks like price wise the 645 will be closer to the 935 price. For that price I might rather get the 935 for the multi-sport functionality, but then you don't get the music... Hmmm, difficult one
  2. The ATKV Klein-Kariba will serve as venue partner for the 2018 event.

  4. I totally agree with Paddman on this. I don't know the TomTom units at all - I've never tried one. The Vivo range caters more to daily activity tracking (in my opinion), even though the higher vivo units have more to offer. I would still go with the FR35 suggestion - it ticks all the boxed Paddaman suggested, and even though its got wrist based HR, it is compatible with a check strap, which some of the units are not (like the FR30).
  5. Paddaman, I think these are really nice guidelines. The only thing I do a bit different is work on a 4-week cycle with the weekly increases; so I increase by 10% per week for three weeks, but then on the 4th week I drop to about 5-10% below the 3rd week peak. I just find that as I get older my tendons etc don't adapt as quickly as my muscles do, so dropping back a bit gives me more time to adapt. It does stretch out the programme a bit though.
  6. A family member has the FR35, and I've tried it for a bit. I really like it, and it also has profiles for cycling and indoor running etc. Its also nice and small on the wrist.
  7. I've seen this so many times - not just with running. The hard days are to easy, and easy days too hard, so you get the benefits of neither, and don't recover on the easy days...
  8. Event Name: Waterberg Traverse - 299km | 170km When: 2 June 2018 - 3 June 2018 Where: AKTV Klein Kariba, Limpopo Category: MTB The 2018 edition of the Waterberg Traverse (previously known as the Waterberg Extreme) MTB race has found a new home at ATKV Klein Kariba, which will serve as the start and finish venue from where riders will follow farm and district roads through the majestic Waterberg mountains.

  9. My approach is the exact opposite. Although a wedge do relief symptoms in the short term, it leads to adaptive shortening again. I make sure I spend at least 50% of my running time in shoes with zero/close to zero drop
  10. How long have you been battling with the Achilles? Once that settles in properly its such a bugger to get rid of. I am able to manage mine, and do most things pain free - but if I muck around, I'll know it
  11. Hmmm.. There is not really any evidence to indicate that dehydration, or electrolyte loss causes cramping.
  12. If I can get one of these... http://www.mondraker.com/uploads/images/bike/files/596e1b6c68967_podium-carbon-rr-p-jpg_fill_2000_1247.jpg
  13. As far as I know, the entries are sold out
  14. Interesting
  15. I highly doubt that this is correct
  16. Life expectancy of running shoes are generally around the 800-900km mark, unless you use them for other daily activities or gym stuff as well
  17. I'm exactly the same, and I flip my lid at people for no reason
  18. I have to agree with you. I can see guys doing 500km+ training rides for next year
  19. Yeah, the Dr's don't like me. I've only used oral antibiotics, and antibiotic eye drops once each in my life
  20. ?
  21. 11 riders ahead of the previous record pace
  22. I'm glad/surprised Janine is doing so well...
  23. My point was - don't blame the machanic
  24. It was a brand new RD
  25. I hope so...
