Sorry for the hijack but I would also like to hear from someone about training while on beta blockers, doc wants to prescribe them to me for hypertension.

Still in, last 2 days have been recovery walks 0 physical activity for more than 6 months to 20 sessions in 20 days starting to take its toll.

Okay so today got an apple watch 3, which does not support swimming as an activity in Strava, however there is an app called swimexporter which takes swimming data from the workout and health app and exports to Strava. Now here comes the dilemma, swam 30 laps which took me 21 minutes (was planning on an easy swim just for some recovery) and the app does what it says on the tin; exports to Strava, just minus the time I was actually recovering and only taking the actual moving time, which was just over 17 minutes. HR data is there and alles (which is actually quite nice) Still claiming it!! (And making sure all future swims are 30 min+)

Still in it 11/11 so far (unlucky Nelson) had to do 20 minutes on the wattbike today keeping the hr below 125. Started to feel the urgent need for some recovery.

Only rules that should be taken seriously are #5 htfu and #10. Oh and also the one that says don't be an ass but if you absolutely have to be a funny ass.

Yes now that you have explained it in so much detail how can one refuse, surely it is steinhoff shares, heard they were up 62% over night and made the jse 174 billion stronger in value.

This HAS to be bitcoin (can't do sarcasm font on phone)

So my 2c, I financed a 35k bike as well, nice mid spec carbon bike. Cancelled dstv (+- R900pm) cancelled gym and joined a cheaper gym (R300pm) saving. Settled two store accounts (R400pm). All in all I have more disposable income than before the finance deal, also I don't do cellphone contracts, my car is paid off, I rent well within my means and generally I save rather than spend. Point to be made from all of this, debt can be very very bad and keep many enslaved and living from paycheck to paycheck, however when managed properly and accounted for in a sensible budget it can also be a great tool. (I could write a 20 page essay on both sides of this argument this is just my 2c)

Posted this on the Apple watch thread but this seems like a more appropriate place to ask... Want to know from the guys that got apple watch through vitality. To meet the requirements you need card in good standing etc etc. Then also you need R5000 available after the 600 deposit, is that 5k then "frozen" on the card?

Some say he can never meet the stig, for fear of the two entities fusing and creating an unbeatable Moto GP God.

Still no answers on the outcome of the cold case?

And all of CL, cradle few cyclists, and Saturday don't belong in the same sentence. I am guessing it will be the usual hive of activity!

Anyone identify this little bugger? Found dead in the cradle

Quick question as far as I know Clenbutrol is not prescribed or available in SA for any therapeutic use anyway. So what was Mr chemist doing with it?

I have an interesting philosophy about people like this, if you park your car where you are not supposed to, drive in yellow lanes, skip robots or speed etc you are engaged in lawless behavior. When you feel you can decide which laws should apply to you don't complain if others then use the same reasoning to steal from you, hijack you etc.

Also getting similar feedback from guys using discover insure with driver behavior monitoring. Worth noting that healthy foods exclude some items one would think are healthy foods i.e no salted/roasted nuts just plain raw.

Rule #58 // Support your local bike shop. Never buy bikes, parts or accessories online. Going into your local shop, asking myriad inane questions, tying up the staff’s time, then going online to buy is akin to sleeping with your best friend’s wife, then having a beer with him after. If you do purchase parts online, be prepared to mount and maintain them yourself. If you enter a shop with parts you have bought online and expect them to fit them, be prepared to be told to see your online seller for fitting and warranty help.

I think it is finally solved, patch is DIE MUISHOND!!

I always thought the explanation for this was that everyone finishing over 6 hours is not counted when giving your race position, they are still given a time but not counted as finishers.

My race went superbly by any standard, even though I missed my target time by 7min it is a huge personal improvement for me. Last year took 5h25 this year I put in the training and was aiming for 3h30 ended up doing 3h37 which is still an almost two hour improvement so all in all I am a happy camper!

Also is it just me or were there less people supporting than usual?
