dave303e Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Braamfontein Spruit. I've only run from Emmarentia as far North as Parkmore, but it keeps going up to top of Rivonia. There's only really one route so it too gets a bit boring. it is one route and can get boring but you can mix and match, I find adding Northcliff and Alberts Farm and parts of Bryanston add some elevation as well...
Chris_ Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Also, if we split some content from 'Cyclists with a "Running" Problem' cyclists won't get so bleak come year end stats.
SeaBee Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Are you guys aware of anything around Arfican-X? I was planning on doing it last year, was not impressed with the route and location change idea but is contemplating it for this year. Finding no info about it on Stillwater website - didn't they use to host this? Or have I missed something?

Also didn’t see it on the WPA calender?
Controlaltdelete Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Me. Hi allSeeing as I'm doing much more trail running these days than riding I thought I'd start a dedicated thread.So who else here is a keen trail runner?Cheers,WW. Weight Weenie 1
Chris_ Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 I see Ryan Sandes is in NZ for the Tarawera Ultra. Crazy beautiful looking run. Jeff Browning, Courtney Dauwalter also in 100km Camille Herron was signed up for 100 mile but I also see she was in an accident, hopefully she shakes it off. I suspect she will.

I think the answer is here, and there are 10m problemshttps://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/153485-athletics/?p=3449154 but not great when they just go silent on cancelling a race.Seemed like a ridiculous moneyspinner when i did it
Chris_ Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 As opposed to road running where time matters most and you need to monitor your splits, how do you guys have your watches set to 'alert' for trail? I used to have the usual 1km distance beep, but it got irritating, I've since tried at 5kms intervals for the last while, but now I'm thinking maybe to try a timed alert like 20 or 30 mins, so I can be reminded to eat /drink or something like that.
SeaBee Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 The beep is the first thing I turn off when I get a watch. Set mine on vibrate and that's it. I hate those beeps. But I tend to keep it at 1k and if I really care I look and see. More often than not the distance rather than the split time! Day after Red Hill I went up the mountain with a friend and we said - we better not tell the roadies we just did our first 3 k's in 45 min's! Barry Stuart and Chris_ 2
Iwan Kemp Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Cape Town runners: go and support the Fairtree Contour trail run this weekend http://www.trailhub.co.za/c/_/a/news/event-news/entries-closing-soon-for-the-2019-fairtree-simonsberg-contour-stage-race-r316 SeaBee 1
SeaBee Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Will definitely be there! Bummed that it's (again) on the same weekend as the Cape Town Tri, but it is what it is. Presume I'm one of the few that had to choose between the two!
Fruity Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Anyone here doing the X-Berg Challenge this year?http://xbergchallenge.com/?fbclid=IwAR0Y33C3pkxd3IiApXHqHltqbGecJdJyyiekomjLLVLPF2TnjmT-zN7QAiA If I was to do it, I would do the 40km trail run, not that I've trained to run 40km. I might do it next year.
Fruity Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 I wonder this forum isn't very active:http://www.trailhub.co.za/index
