I am also going to Loskop. I did the 21 last year because it was a week after Two Oceans. The 21km is beautiful but tough. Hopefully, the road works will be better this year.

Hi guys, with the colder weather starting to set in, I notice that I struggle a lot more with cramps, predominantly in the hamstrings. Anyone got any advice to help with the cramps? And its not only when I run. It could be just a normal day at work but the cold will set off cramps. thanks

Do i smell i little race day competition on the brew  :whistling:

 

Definitely Not.... I'm not on the same level as Stu right now, hopefully the next 8 weeks will get me back fighting fit..

 

Am Looking forward to my First Loskop though, a little 3h59 training run...

Personally I believe cramps are primarily caused by (increased) training load, and that mineral supplementation will only cover the minority of cramping issues.   

I see it as 'Demand vs. Supply' (which is the actual physiological capability at that stage.)

That is BS, but definitely not a race. I'll be trying to hold on to Ferret for a 3:59:01

 

Another good weekend of mileage and banter.

Good like for Ironman and Loskop guys - kick some ass! 

 

Me, it looks like I will be in bed... picked up a bug from my little ones and it's slowly winning the battle - this really is not my year!

 

Stay healthy guys

Good luck. Seems like it is not my year either.

 

I started to get sick 3 days before OMTOM. Two and half weeks later and I'm still not 100%...
