_David_ Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) You get 900km on a pair of shoes, wow. I get about the same out of my shoes... maybe the slower you run the longer your shoes last Edited January 25, 2017 by Dav/d Lexx 1
Jackes Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) I get about the same on my shoes, maybe the slower you are the longer your shoes last Those continental soles are hard, but those adidas don't come with thick soles, those are fantastic kms, but then again, 1000km on vomeros :eek: You must be super light on shoes Edited January 25, 2017 by Jackes

Hacc Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Who all is doing Johnsons this weekend? Despite my snotty nose I'm actually looking forward to it... Just hope I've got decent legs on the day!I am doing the marathon. Stressing about it as I feel very sluggish at the moment and not running my normal pace. I see this as a training run and if I feel strong I will try and better my qualifying time. Good luck Andrew, it looks like we are going to have some good running weather. Good luck for 70.3 Shaper! Andrew Steer and shaper 2
Mr Winter Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Who all is doing Johnsons this weekend? Despite my snotty nose I'm actually looking forward to it... Just hope I've got decent legs on the day! I've entered the marathon but have decided to just go for the half marathon as much as i'd love to I don't think i'm ready to push 42km at this moment in time. What pace are you looking at running?
Andrew Steer Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I've entered the marathon but have decided to just go for the half marathon as much as i'd love to I don't think i'm ready to push 42km at this moment in time. What pace are you looking at running?Around 2:10 for the first 21km, then the second will depend on legs and how they hold out. Hoping for something 4:30'shGoing on your Dischem time I would say you are probably ready for a marathon. How were you feeling at the end of Dischem? Keep in mind Johnsons is a far easier run... It's a whole new kettle of fish though regardless - you will not really be ready until you start testing those deeper waters. A bit of afkak is not the worst thing in the world though - a big part of Comrades prep is learning to run in pain. Learning to manage the pain and the psychology of it all. Nobody runs Comrades without fighting some serious mental demons. Are you thinking of doing a 30 sometime soon to manage the jump? That would be nice, I just haven't found the time, and it's far to go solo. It would be the ideal move though. Last thing to consider, Johnsons is laps, so if you're not on a good day you can bail at 21... but it would be crap to be feeling great at 21km and then finish and wonder... Give it some thought. Obviously don't rush it, but just from my view, Pick n Pay in two weeks, while giving more prep time, it's also a fair bit tougher. Johnsons/Vaal are nice easy ones you want to get going with. Your call obviously, just some ramblings from me
