Andrew Steer Posted September 4, 2017 Share It feels like its never ending After struggling the whole year with injuries and niggles I finally got to a point where I can slowly start building on a Comrades program. Yesterday I did an unplanned half marathon, felt really well and ran a pb. So feeling positive I downloaded the Parry BR program with the intention to commit from the coming week. Well... This morning I played with the dog in the garden, tripped over him and planted my big toe on a concrete slab. 8 stitches and both muscles severed.Strongs man, good to get these things out the way before Comrades prep begins to get serious Hacc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you heal up soon, and that the niggles will also disappear while resting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudsimus Posted September 4, 2017 Share Has anyone done the Cherry Mountain Race in Ficksburg? This year its the 18th November. There is a 23km and a 5km fun run. Is it worth doing??Ive done the route with a bike before, never ran it, but planning to this year. Its mostly gravel road and jeep track. But not a trail run. If I remember correctly its quite up and down with a monster cement decent close to the finish. candz1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done it 3 x , last time in 2015, very cool race, tough first half nice finish either way round. Cool festival as well with some good Cherry Beer. candz1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebel Posted September 4, 2017 Share A question for the Giba trail runners... My wife is dabbling in trail running at the moment (it is infinitely less boring than pounding the pavements...). We are members at Giba and as a nice family outing on a Sunday afternoon we all head off for a run/cycle. My eldest son and her run and me and the little guy ride. We've done the Waterfall trail a few times but she wants to try something a little bit more challenging. I've overheard people talking about 10 - 15km trail runs at Giba but as far as I was aware, only the waterfall rail is a shared trail and that comes out at about 4-5km... Where do you trail runners run if you run at Giba? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjommies3 Posted September 4, 2017 Share I'm not sure if I should be excited or not but yesterday I finished my longest LSD of 36km @ a pace of 5'57". I ran the entire run nonstop and none of my ITB issues seemed to slow me down. I'm not sure if it's my mind-set before the LSD because I tend to feel it more in shorter runs around 10-15km. I have entered Soweto and I'm aiming for a sub 4. Hopefully my program gets me there with a smile on my face. shaper, Chris_, Lexx and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacc Posted September 5, 2017 Share So how many hubbers have entered for the 2018 down run? I am one of the 7000 that have entered! PS. And we have reached 5000 posts!! Lexx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobusV Posted September 5, 2017 Share So how many hubbers have entered for the 2018 down run? I am one of the 7000 that have entered! PS. And we have reached 5000 posts!! Thought about if for just a second, but no. I don't see Comrades in my near (or far) future.. But what are my running plans/goals for next year? Definitely Two Oceans. And then a few trail runs (Whale of Trail and Mount-Aux-Sources are very, very high on my list). Lexx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackes Posted September 5, 2017 Share Whale of Trail I stumbled across this the other day and just when I almost drooled all over my keyboard, I saw the entry fees... CobusV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobusV Posted September 5, 2017 Share Yep I'm IN And CT marathon next weekend, who is joining me in CT?Enjoy. Looks like favourable running weather in the Cape (I want to say unfortunately, because the Cape really needs some rain...). CT marathon also on my list for some time in the future, but flying down to the Cape 3/4 times a year is bit to hard for a government worker at this point in time.
