Hacc Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 R2.8k. Dammit, but shoes are expensive. I bought my latest pair of NB from Totalsports on a sale in January. It is still V1 where V3 is already out. Paid R850. My trail shoes were R600 on a sale on Inov8's website.Asics has become just too expensive. I paid R1800 today for the 18's.
Stretch Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Asics has become just too expensive. I paid R1800 today for the 18's. I got a R200 voucher from Sportsmans Warehouse for Asics. GT2000's are 2300 there. With the discount thats 2100. Poobies sell them for 1800 odd and lasy years model for 1350... you need to buy from them online! fanievb 1
SeaBee Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 No Stretch, definitely not doing Comrades! How I'll drag myself over 56 k's (of tar, to boot!) will remain to be seen. Hacc, regarding your consideration for changing to NB...My first pair of running shows ended up being NB 1080v4. I then ran in couple of other shoes and when starting to consider Oceans, I decided to get myself a "long run" shoe again, possibly with more than 4mm drop. Naturally the 1080 was again considered and ended up one of two shoes on my final list. I chose the other one based on one feeling, which I'll get to just now. Then yellow ticket sale - and I spotted Zante's in my size. Fit like a glove and at something like 850, it was definitely worth the try, even if only for short runs or "speed" (a very relative term in my case!) work. Yet first run - I immediately realised I get the same feeling. I am getting more used to it now, but it's something you may or may not like... It's as if they've moved to a very soft feeling heel. It feels as if there's nothing, which is lekker and unstructured/free, but somehow disturbing for me at times - just feels as if there's not support. I'm not talking about the sole below the heel, the heel of the shoe itself, that wraps around your heel. Unstructured may be a good description. (My big English word for the day!) Might just be in some of their shoes, but I found it quite weird that they incorporated this on two shoes meant for completely (AFAIK) different usage. Only similar thing between them being the Fresh Foam. And maybe it's just me... Hacc 1
Jackes Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) WRT the racing number and disqualifications, I can't seem to google it. Where and how should your racing numbers be fitted? OMTOM will be our first race for this year Is it the ASA numbers on the front and back, with the race number on top of the ASA number on the front of the shirt, but with the race number just covering the ASA number, not the logos?

Stretch Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) just dont cover the lotto logo - you can cover your ASA number just not the sponsor logo see the pic i posted https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/153222-cyclists-with-a-running-problem/?p=3103218 Edited April 5, 2017 by Stretch Jackes 1

Andrew Steer Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Must admit I have been rocking some polyshort type shorts of late... they were the only plain red ones I could find. They really don't do it hey! Luckily the club have got new club shorts in stock so I won't be scaring off too many people heading forward.
Stretch Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Stretch, can't believe you made us look at that pic twice... me eyes [emoji38]Jurre... You okes are giving me grief about my shorts... They not really that short! Large second skins.. Is just the photo dammit! Lexx 1
Lexx Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 I'm running for Nedbank, and love their Nike running club shorts. Not to short and not to long. Just the right length.
'Kaze Pete Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Stupid one regarding this long taper for ultra thing... Just low-intensity running for my session tomorrow (was considering a slight hill interval session?) and a shorter harder session or two (at least one will be higher intensity) over the weekend with very little - and low intensity - next week? What are your secret ingredients?Long tapers are for wimps! I have a friend who did a 150km+ MTB ride on Saturday, ran a sub 4 Irene Ultra (48km) on Sunday, rode 35+km on Sunday afternoon. SHE took Monday off, and ran 30km on Tuesday again - split across 2 sessions, and ran another 30 this morning in one go... So as I said: only wimps taper... disclaimer: I am a massive wimp!

Zatek Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) I am going to langebaan and need a pediatrist (mind the spelling) who can analize my running and recommend the correct shoes and modify my sole of needed. My local pediatrist did a eye analysis and made it worst. After 900m I can feel my right knee. My knees start to hurt around 4km. Edited April 5, 2017 by Zatek

My knees start to hurt around 4km.Generally knees hurt because instability or weakness elsewhere Not the fashionable quick fix route preferred by modern peeps, but find a good running bio and keep at the exercises prescribed. And unless you have real bio-mechanical issues the goal is to run in neutral shoes Fix the cause, not the symptom! Hacc 1
Zatek Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 My current shoe is Brooks Ghost 6 and a neutral shoe. I was given a new pair of insole last week and took them for a run this week. Left knee felt good only the right one and after 900m. Normally I would do 5km run 3 times a week and 1 of them would follow a 50km bike ride.
