    The joke's on you, I have Nimbus 11s now.

    We all need someone in our life who believes in us the way our Garmin race predictor believes in us.

    4:30/km (22:30?) is quick, and you're only going to get faster with the consistent training and increased distance. Nice work.
  4. Barry Stuart
    Agreed. 1650m altitude, 48m gain, road course with plenty of 90° corners and occasional traffic; that's a big time. I can only imagine what that would translate to on a flat course in Cape Town. I can't speak for Ridr's stats but, watching him, he does have a noticeably long, efficient gait.

    Should have one more Comrades left in them
  6. Barry Stuart
    Thanks, Lexx. I matched my previous time on that course to the exact second but as someone said to me afterwards, “The good news is you’re not getting worse.”

    We need to start a new group for us over 40s. Runners with a "middle-aged" problem.

    I’ll also need to accept the fact that Edgar is no longer friends with me.

    Had a fun morning out. Missed my goal time by 35 seconds but gave what I had on the day. Was inspiring watching ridr go out at what I initially thought was a pace he'd pay for when he got to the hilly km in the middle but he stuck it the whole way and ran a 17:17. When you see other people doing it, it gives you a bit of confidence that it's possible to get quicker. Was good to meet you, man!

    I haven't hurled at the end of a 5km yet, so that'll be the goal.

    *sets Strava to private Not fair, man. You'll run a 17:50 when you're in 19:00 shape.

    Watching Ferret or Edgar run gives me lactate buildup.
  13. Barry Stuart
    Everybody's aiming for something different. I'm going for anything sub 18:20, though 18:10 will be the target, others are going for sub 19, sub 20, sub 21, all the way up to sub 25 and at least one guy is trying for a sub 28.
  14. Barry Stuart
    It's 18:19 but that was way back in the time before the plague during 2019 Comrades Training so I'd like to get under 18 this year, starting by beating that PB. I've only ever done a mile hard in training but I did not like it at all. Not at all.

    I don't know if any of you are in the Linden area but on Tuesday mornings at 6:15am I organise a 5km TT from Yield Coffee Shop. We've got a good bunch of people there but next Tuesday we're holding a kind of mini-race to help a bunch of us gun for our PBs. It'd be really great if some of you speedsters nearby would be open to pacing some of us, or even just flat boxing it yourselves to set the mood? Ferret, any chance you'd be willing to go slow motion for a few km and drag me to a PB?

    Lordy, after reading this thread I was expecting something offensive. That was pretty damn funny, especially the part where they built the jump then took the chicken line
  18. Barry Stuart
    Lordy, dude, that's some self-abuse!

    Have you had a look at the Coros range? https://mobile.coros.com/apex.php

    Does anyone have a smashed up, defective, totally broken Garmin watch I could buy?
  21. Barry Stuart
    Seriously impressive, I hope he gets that sub 3.

    If one wants an unbiased review of the science on anything from diet to shoe tech, Alex Hutchinson is always the go to.

    I tried on those Takumi Sen here and there's no way I could complete anything more than a 10km in them. They're an uncompromising track/road hybrid with just a smear of Boost foam in the forefoot. The Takumi Ren, however, looks like a great 5km to 21km shoe with a more generous amount of Boost in the front. The Japan 5 is also a great option but probably somewhere between an Adios and a Boston, which are already great all rounders so I'm not sure what it would do that they can't. The amount of colour ways available here is brilliant, though. We tend to be limited to two or three back in SA.
  24. Barry Stuart
    No way, man! I can't believe I missed out on a beer with you! It was good fun, right?
  25. Barry Stuart
    Wait… what did I do?
