    I've never done one so don't take this as gospel. I thought the premise was that they were always free. You register online with the parkrun site, and then sign up/sign on (?) at the run. That's where your records are kept and you can even get stuff like '100 runs' t-shirts and whatnot. I'm surprised that the runs are on now though. Surely covid should have put a halt on them?

    I've developed this morbid fascination with the Nike Alphafly Ekiden edition shoes. The yellowish ones with the Mt Fuji topography drawn into the black swoosh. I'm sure I've seen the prices before, but my word I get chills every time I come across them. R5600 is a boatload of money for running shoes. Edit: pic

    I haven't been on their website since level-hectic lockdown. One of those midday madness sales I got my bike with another R10k off the already R20k reduced price. I thought it was a win.

    Whatever he was ingesting at Pirates every night was far worse I reckon. The dude was a sad mess.

    News from the ridiculous: James Lawrence the iron cowboy has finished day 1, of (hopefully) 100 consecutive ironman distance races.

    Kengo Suzuki ran 2:04:56 to set a new Japanese marathon record. (just over 30 secs quicker) that's a real legit time. 15 guys run under 2:08!

    A little too shameless for me, but damn she fine!

    Old news: - people are unreasonably angry. New news: - I can't believe some people have enough energy to be members of multiple forums. - why don't bike hubbers list their bikes in their signature?

    I read the other day that NZ had cut back on people (res and non-res) coming into the country by 95% on average last year, some months were 99% down, this wasn't much of a surprise. I also read they're closing their immigration office in Pretoria. And then... they've been on a 'skilled' migrant hire freeze for 6 months till March. I don't know why hiring agencies and job postings don't explicitly say this. Here I'm living in hope gleefully applying for jobs like a proper knob

    So either... These were a massive flop in testing. Or, they artificially improved times by such a margin that some bog-standard chap would take a second off his time and smoke Bolts record.

    Updates have been super poor. I saw one Instagram post that there were 3 people left at midnight, that's 17 laps. (17 * 7km = ????) I (only) did 7 laps... Officially 6 because I finished a couple mins after that hour, but I'm counting it ???? It's quick! 7:30 a km for me is a lot to keep up. It got pretty hot by midday but far from unbearable. Ja lap 6 and 7 my stomach decided it didn't want to keep down any food or water so that just kind of simmered out my day. Cool venue, well organized, super easy trail and probably ideal for this type race, and once again just in awe of how many other people can just continuously crush laps. It's brilliant.

    Signed up last night. First time doing this type of event, I suspect there's a lot to learn. Looking forward to it!

    So it took what.. 2 days to decide on MacMac 200?

    There is a bit of that 'rocker' feeling under the forefoot - which is new from the 4.0, but otherwise they look sleek, and the new midsole feels deliciously comfortable

    I like the look of that nylon strap. But I'm fairly certain after a couple runs that thing will be pretty rancid, so maybe practicality not so great.

    And world record (either equalling or best, I've read the rounding might do her) 14:44 from Chepkoech
