Ferret69 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Ferret..you killing the mileage! what you planning on peaking at per week? and who is James Whitaker? also putting some big miles in Yeah should finish Jan with around 400, few more than planned but so far so Good. You also building up nicely Probably looking to max out with 2 or 3 weeks in April at around 125-130s JW is a mate of mine, we do a our Long Sunday runs together He's just finishing a 16 weeks block to go Sub3 @ Sasolburg... That's why I traded out to do JC and then pace him through halfway at Sasolburg in 87ish.. ahmedbadat and Stretch 2

ScottCM Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Here is the plan : 31/01 - Johnson`s 42 - qualifying13/02 - Bronkhorst 32 - Simulation race pace28//02 - Delloitte 42 - Just HTFU and time on the legs - no racing05/03 - Sunrise Monster 32 - HTFU and time on the legs- no pace16/04 - Om die dam Ultra - Check out the expected race pace01/05 - Wally 42 - Expected race pace -15sec/km29/05 - Race day - HTFU, KD factor and get it done. I have 1 or 2 backups for qualifying in case something goes wrong. Dont want to have to race anything longer than 21 after March. Well, thats the plan. Good strategy there. Please update the spreadsheet as I unfortunately don't have time to update everyone's. Vinnydabutcher 1

So I'm also stretching the limit a bit this year trying to find 33mins Good Luck for hillcrest, what kind of time are you looking for?

So I'm also stretching the limit a bit this year trying to find 33mins Good Luck for hillcrest, what kind of time are you looking for? just going for a sub 3:30 at the moment. I figure if I can do that then a 3:20 is possible for pmb...but I will be more than happy with a c batch start again
Ferret69 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 just going for a sub 3:30 at the moment. I figure if I can do that then a 3:20 is possible for pmb...but I will be more than happy with a c batch start again Sub3.30 is a great run Batching at Comrades is irrelevant... Front of C or Back of B very similar If anything the C batch will help to go off conservatively, just don't lose too much time to cross the line.. I have a A seeding but I will either start at B or at the very back of A.

ScottCM Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Wow negative split on the Up is superb I hit Drummond in 3h50 and took 4h13 for the 2nd half to run 8h03 Are you planning a 3:50 & then a 3:39 split this year?
Stretch Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Wow negative split on the Up is superb I hit Drummond in 3h50 and took 4h13 for the 2nd half to run 8h03 shot...someone told me only the girls negative split...not sure if he was telling me something..lol i did something like 4:35 4:23 ScottCM 1
Stretch Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Are you planning a 3:50 & then a 3:39 split this year?3:39.59 by his comment earlier..lol
Ferret69 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Are you planning a 3:50 & then a 3:39 split this year? Haha, that would be Brave Probably closer to the other way round... Half way 3h40ish and hopefully still run negative splits...
Ferret69 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 shot...someone told me only the girls negative split...not sure if he was telling me something..lol i did something like 4:35 4:23 I stalked you , 4h31/4h27 (comrades 2015 live tracker still available) Great Running, so sub 8.30 or 8 this time round...?

ricochet_rabbit Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Info on the Route Tester seems hard to come by at the Moment apart from its starting in PMB on the 17th April and heading to Hillcrest Harriers clubhouse on the Comrades Route If you get any more substantial info around times, etc etc please let me know,. We are gonna hire a Little Bus and come down from JHB with 12-15 of us so far...Ferret, I believe Westville have their long run (route tester) scheduled for April 17th. There will probably be some clubs running on the 16th and some on the 23/24 too. Westille, Pinetown, Chiltern, Stella, Savages, DHS Old Boys & Queensburgh all usually plan a run and often some clubs band together to assist on the water tables. Most clubs will cater for "outsiders" for a nominal fee. Just ensure you know the route. a few years ago a couple jhb chaps missed the left turn to Camperdown just after Umlass road and started to head for Richmond. Ferret69 1
