Andrew Steer Posted July 29, 2019 Share Yoh.... Were you crawling with your tongue?! Sniper shot me about 6 times... was cramping in places I never knew existed. It was pretty embarrassing stuff... guys pushing zimmer frames where flying past me. Was one of those times when you're ticking down the km's, knowing your legs are finished, but you're just hoping they can somehow hold on... tick, tick, booooooooom Jewbacca and ScottCM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjommies3 Posted July 29, 2019 Share I fortunately don't 'hit the wall' the way others do, nutrition and training seems to be spot on. If my ITB behaves, I will finish. My training thus far has allowed me to be pain-free for about 3 months now, and if I can shake this cold that I have, CT marathon should be a breeze, hopefully without the southeaster having anything to say about it.

Jaws677 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Thanks Jaws. Def wasn't my month. Struggled a lot with my asthma. After seeing a ENT Specialist, he diagnosed me with GERD. So that made my asthma even worse. But after adjusting my diet ( Cutting out all my spicy food, caffeine, Chocolate, sugars, citrus etc), it does feel so much better, and i can finally breath normally when i exercise. But now my food taste bland [emoji107] . So i will just write this month off as a dud. Yip me too not a single quality run since Comrades due to exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. But mine is probably due to the quality air up here in the big smog of Johannesburg. Trying a new pump tomorrow hopefully it helps. Terrible feeling having a fat kid sit on your chest when you trying to run. Andrew Steer and Lexx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaws677 Posted July 29, 2019 Share For me it use to be around the 35km mark, but rarely hit the wall these days as am better at pacing with regard to my goal time for the marathon. Hitting the wall is usually a combination of going too hard to early and not sticking with your nutrition plan.I'm also usually in a spot of bother round the 36km mark. Thats when Im in the its only a park run to go mode (last km doesn't count) shaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted July 29, 2019 Share Like this Johnsons Crane - The Wall.jpg Longest 2.5km's of my life...That last split was downhill too! That's a monster wall...

Chris_ Posted July 30, 2019 Share Just finished reading the book North by Scott and Jenny Jurek. I'm sure it'll resonate with plenty people on this thread. Its about his FKT attempt of the Appalachian Trail. Very easy reading with pretty cool insights of this absolutely mental feat. One day the wife and I will pack a bag and go hit it for 6 months, major major bucket list, in fact AT as well as PCT.

I don't think I will ever do the whole thing.. But wouldn't mind a few weeks on it at least. It's definitely the number 1 of the big three across America just because of its diversity of climate and terrain Lexx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjommies3 Posted July 30, 2019 Share I know it's flat, but you NEVER say that about a marathon... I only have 3 reasons for it to be a breeze. I should be fit enough by then, it's my home ground, and if my ITB remains silent, it WILL be a breeze, GOD WILLING :-) jdwet1980 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
