Chris_ Posted January 27, 2021 Share Has anyone here entered one of the Backyard UltrasFirst one is at Van Gaalens in 3 weeks I'm dying to try one of these types of events. But we're probably going to give Addo a go, and thats a week, two weeks (?) afterwards, so I probably won't do this one. Made a note of the website though.

SeaBee Posted January 27, 2021 Share Oh man, I am sooo happy! I was out for a short and low and slow run in the mountain just earlier. Knee was a bit of a beach on ascends and felt wobbly on the descends. And now it has a feeling quite like somebody (forcefully, as one does!) inserted a nail behind my knee cap. But it was soooo good to be out there! Will be on flats/treadmill till the weekend and then try a similar run. I suspect it was only the knee getting the shock of his life by seeing some uphill for the first time in two months! Even my socks smiled!

Don't be like me and think it's not as bad, and just continue running. Lol. SeaBee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted January 28, 2021 Share Fellow Runners...something funnish to put in your calendar - more for the northern hemisphere people I guess. 19th June - a group of us here are planning to run 26.2 miles in 24 hours - so basically 1 mile every hour, with the first two being 2 miles. A little target to work towards inspired by Beau Miles The Ghost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokeonabike Posted January 30, 2021 Share Howzit guys/gals. I need some advice please. I recently discovered my trail shoes (Salomon Ultra Pro) have started to tear inside the heal cup. I know this isn't an unseen thing with running shoes BUT they only have 351km on them.(My road shoes are sitting at 1500km with no signs of wear) So I was wondering is it worth it to ask about the warranty? The shoes are less than a year old so still in the Salomon warranty period.Surely shoes marketed as "Ultra shoes" shouldn't start to tear this early? Any input would be appreciated!

Not sure how you find the right person to receive your mail but yes, you could be one of many complaints which gives Salomon reason to think there is actually a problem. If they know of the defect you might even score some new shoes but I wouldn't bank on that, nor the warranty holding up but I've never read one of those properly so that's just a guess.

SwissVan Posted January 31, 2021 Share In other news:I'm tired of running in the rain. LOL how often does it happen that you have to run in rain Ha ha.... We got absolutely drenched today... Icey cold rain.... But strangely enough I rarely actually get caught in the rain hereI use the local weather radar to time my runs between the rain, it’s pretty accurate to about 5 or so minutes so very rarely get rained on. We have a treadmill because of the winter weather but I hardly ever use it, prefer to go out in the cold. My wife on the other hand prefers the treadmill to having to get warmly dressed to go outside.... and of course she can then also watch Netflix.....

Chris_ Posted January 31, 2021 Share LOL how often does it happen that you have to run in rain Ha Its only been a week... ???? I seem to time it very well each day. Our rain on the other hand is very warm, so it's not going to kill us. Our roads though seem to generate and pool more water than has actually rained. You can't avoid it by running on the pavement - because there is none, and there's just this torrent of flooding across the roads. It's fun for a while, only.
