    Did you also sell some 'mint condition' goods?

    Only a vegan's heart can withstand 243 bpm. *flexes whilst letting out primal scream*

    Whoop! Whoop! September can't come soon enough! (Just kidding - I don't want to blast through my summer) https://youtu.be/iSpglxHTJVM

    I'm pretty sure I didn't have the strap on at that time, so must've been something to cause the watch's optical HR sensor to bug out.

    I find his arm vein disturbing.

    Chumps in a GT-R and a tappet on a bike try to kill themselves and others whilst speeding through traffic. What's new in Jhb?

    Guess that could be the case. Will keep an eye on it.

    Ah, okay. Yeah, I think once you break through 1:30, it becomes almost exponentially more difficult to make big leaps in your pace. I think he's got the engine and the build to be a fast runner, perhaps with more time. Ultimately, his goal was overly ambitious, but he gave it a good go.

    Anyone else experience this before with their Garmin devices? Went for a run this morning, using my HRM Tri for HR, got home and synced the watch with the strap (to download the HR data) and the took it off. A bit later, I synced my watch to my phone and saw that crazy HR spike. Now, I'm quite sure if my HR reached 243 bpm whilst ironing a shirt, I wouldn't be typing this. Similar thing happened a while back. I'm not too fussed, as long as my HR readings are generally accurate, but anyone knows what might cause this?

    What's his timeline again? Either way, to go from little running experience to knocking out a 1:30 is very impressive! The course he ran also seems pretty crappy - lots of turns, a bit of elevation and a double loop. If he's still got some training time available and can find a flat out 'n back route, I think he should come close to a 75min.

    Perhaps the Swiss find your aura, ahem, disagreeable.

    The only way it could've been more obvious is if the headline read "Bear uses Russian cave mummy as sex doll for month". He probably got super shredded from eating all that nice LCHF bear poop. His first words after being rescued were: "Я адаптировался к жиру.."

    Not to sound like a douche, but this reads like a big whinge. The weather can't be helped for. As for the time to start and traffic, in my experience, that's pretty common with big city marathon events. It took me probably 40min from heading to the start line to crossing the actual start line at the Semi in Paris. Similar story at Amsterdam. I was knocking elbows from start to finish at Paris, but still managed a PR. It's frustrating, I know, but in those cases you got to just put the crowd out of mind and run your race.

    Fake news. https://www.rt.com/news/462763-russia-man-bear-fake/

    Just because something's old, doesn't mean it's retro.

    Sitting and spinning vs high impact moving your body through space. Two very different things.

    You've never braked it? Not even once? You're either going really slowly or you're a mountain biking god!

    NYC marathon is not a race that many have the opportunity competing in. Don't potentially undermine your run there by doing the KK trail run.

    #humblebrag Like that one kid in class that always claimed to not have studied a thing, but then gets a 100% on the exam.

    Like my food, I prefer my athletes non-GMO.

    I completely understand the allure of Comrades. It's a big test of your mettle as a runner and there is a lot of history, culture and cachet associated with it. Personally, I'd like to run it once, perhaps twice (up and down), but no more than that. The race itself is very emblematic about most South Africans' sporting mentality - what can we do to suffer the most? I'd rather focus on running really good marathon or even half marathon times rather than +10hrs at Comrades (yes, I know, you can do both). Just my 2c from a beginner.
