dave303e Posted February 8, 2019 Share 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. I have run it a few times, value for money it is really awesome, the route and the fact you choose your own route make it even better. I will likely run most of it this year, maybe cycle the last section. Will see how it goes. Certain parts are easier on bike. First few sections are Oliviershoek pass to witsies resort(similar to DNT but no back leg), then up chain ladders, across the top of the berg, down rockeries pass to mweni, hopefully sleep there. Quick run over to cathedral peak hotel and then through to monks cowl(I ran this section Mikes pass to Monks cowl) in 4,5 hours in 2017 it is such an epic run bit of kloofing bit of ridgelines bit of open trail. Sleep monks cowl area and cycle to finish on day 3. Well that is the plan at this stage but really it will go out the window on the first climb up to the escarpment out of the Phat Chef Fruity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave303e Posted February 8, 2019 Share Also note you will feel dead when a paraglider comes cruising past overhead, and laugh when he carries that 25kg pack up to the next highest point Fruity and Chris_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJ Posted February 8, 2019 Share What kind of mileage are you guys doing? I'm prepping for the Addo 100 Miler. Doing minimum 400km a month. Chris_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_ Posted February 8, 2019 Share What kind of mileage are you guys doing? I'm prepping for the Addo 100 Miler. Doing minimum 400km a month. I'm aiming for UTD, I've upped my mileage since Nov/Dec 18 - no jokes doubled/tripled my prev distances to 50km a week. Running super slowly to avoid injury and it's gone really well so far. I'm going to add one or two longer 50km runs in, but I don't see myself realistically going above 50km (average) a week to be honest. 400 a month is the business, awesome job!

dave303e Posted February 8, 2019 Share also depends on other activities, to go to 100km is fine if you are only running, but add 2 cycles and 2 paddles into the mix and 40-60km is far more realistic, but it is good mileage, okes like Walmsley are doing 600km a month.

TheJ Posted February 8, 2019 Share Shamelessly advertising my shoes here... Unfortunately have to sell my Altra Olympus 3.0 trail running shoes. Paid R2100 for them a month ago and did exactly 1 run/walk in them of 7.2km. I hoped that the size would work but turned out that they are 1 size too small for me. They are UK11. I'd like to get R1700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_ Posted February 11, 2019 Share Good to see Camille Herron is human after all, She bonked at Tarawera Ultra in New Zealand on the weekend to give up first place outright, finshed second behind a charging Jeff Browning. Our man Ryan Sandes finished 5th in the 100km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_ Posted March 18, 2019 Share Addo! TheJ and anyone else how did it go? All the comments I'm seeing said it was a tough tough day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CogitoErgoSum Posted March 27, 2019 Share I am also looking at them. Have you had any feedback regarding them? Has anyone here had any experience with Aonijie hydration packs?

Fruity Posted March 27, 2019 Share I am also looking at them. Have you had any feedback regarding them? Not yet, although I read a review on them a little while ago - quite a positive review. Was just wondering if any Hubbers have had any experience with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
