Jurgens Smit Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I will be bottom 5%, so no thanks. I will just amble along my runs as per usual.  Question for the seasoned runners here. Do you find that your HR is a bit high after being sick for a while? My HR is still high. About 10 to 15bpm higher than normal whilst doing my LSD pace.  Yipp, takes me about 3 weeks to get back to normal. Was sick beginning may, and did a small 30 mtb race last week saturday. Had an avg hr of 182 and max of 195.Normally the avg should be low 170's for me.

Stretch Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I guess the two of you are not very talkative while running or you were moving to fast to talk... ha ha - when we were crossing each other  - i was so gatvol i wasn't paying attention to anyone!! I had to laugh though...just before Murray - this one guy was making this repetitive scream/warcry every 10 seconds....while the guy next to me followed it up with "SHUT THE F@#K UP!"...this carried on for at least 10 repetitions Lexx and Pulse 2
Hacc Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 ha ha - when we were crossing each other  - i was so gatvol i wasn't paying attention to anyone!! I had to laugh though...just before Murray - this one guy was making this repetitive scream/warcry every 10 seconds....while the guy next to me followed it up with "SHUT THE F@#K UP!"...this carried on for at least 10 repetitions    I can't stand some of the chants ... or even worse some sort of music instrument. I am all for motivating other runners, but it gets to me. I usually try and get away from these people, not always possible though. Lexx, Stretch, Chris_ and 1 other 4
ScottCM Posted June 12, 2017 Author Posted June 12, 2017 Soweto Marathon entered... want to be up back and running pretty well by then (5 Nov)   I too pulled the trigger today. Self seeded myself in 4:01-4:30 batch, hopefully I wasn't being to optimistic there. Guess only time will tell.  Is OMTOM qualifying time also 4:59:59 like Comrades? ahmedbadat, Andrew Steer, Stretch and 1 other 4

You obviously saw me running with my mate on his bike going down cleland cos you were right next to me!Ha ha ha, cant believe it. I only noticed you at 3km to go. I saw Stretch at the back of your number and I knew here is a hubber ha ha ha. You went out ahead of me when I begged 2 old people if I can have one of their Koeksisters. My bloodsugar level was dropping at a alarming rate. From there is didnt see you again until we exited the finishline. Atleast we got a pic together ha ha ha Stretch and EmJayZA 2
Jurgens Smit Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 When you guys do hilly runs, what sort of elevation and gradients do you aim for in a run?
Lexx Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 When you guys do hilly runs, what sort of elevation and gradients do you aim for in a run?I will try to get over 200-300m in on my long runs. But i am staying in a flat part of ZA so hilly runs are a rarety here. Jurgens Smit 1
Jackes Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Is OMTOM qualifying time also 4:59:59 like Comrades?Yup. ScottCM 1
shaper Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) When you guys do hilly runs, what sort of elevation and gradients do you aim for in a run?The same as Lexx, over 300m in a 21km run or more Edited June 12, 2017 by shaper Lexx and Jurgens Smit 2
Stretch Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 my std run is about 250 - 350Â hilly run is 450-650 +
Mudsimus Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Did a 18km run on Sunday, total elevation was 40m. And I seeked out all the hills???? Andrew Steer and Lexx 2
Jackes Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Did a 18km run on Sunday, total elevation was 40m. And I seeked out all the hills It's time you join me, looks like your skimping and actually looking for the Universitas flats. lol On our weekly runs we get 80-110m on a 8-10km, but that IS seeking ALL the hills in Lhp. Weekend runs when we can include Happy Valley, Naval Hill and Heuwelsig we get 380m on a 25km, but I recon this must be close to Max that you can rack up in Bloem, without repeating anything. Try training in Kimberley, 73m elevation over 30.1 kms... Lexx 1
