Cyclists with a "Running" Problem

[Andrew Steer]

Dont say stuff like that, you'll give me false hope that I can do it

But you can...

[SeaBee]

I should probably start training soon   

You have not concentrated, Andrew... It's still way too early to start training. Unless you're doing  Oceans. Bugger, I was slightly shocked to see how little time remains for that.

7 weeks to go.. Had me in a bit of a panic beginning of this week, and after this morning's 23km even more!

With my 7km this morning I reached Comrades distance for the year! 

 

I'm (heavily) backing the Fordyce method..

[Jaws677]

For Comrades folks I need some advice. Some familiy of my wife offered their holiday flat to us for the week of Comrades. The only problem is that the flat is in Balito.

 

Any ideas how I can get to PMB ? Uber ?  I heard there are shuttle services from Umhlanga ?

That's pretty much Comrades prep mileage

If I look around most comrades guys are doing a lot more

[CobusV]

Looking at you guys/gals' training up to now, I suddenly feel over-trained.

 

I didn't have te best of Januaries. Mainly due to my calf injury, but also work stress related. Retrenchments on the horizon - if you're struggle to sleep you struggle for energy to train. But I still managed a good 230km. So far I'm on 90km for February and hoping to push it to 280km.

I promise you if I could have run more, I would have done triple what i'm on now.

 

My knee is still giving me problems, I thought it was runners knee kicking me at the beginning of the year, but after 2 weeks off and slow slow build up, I still can't shake it. Getting despondent over the awful lack of millage..

I have only managed 185km so far this year on foot, another 43km in the kayak and 300 odd on a bike(all indoor wattbike training), but building slowly into it and feeling good with no niggles and running faster than ever which is good. Also sent 24 in the climbing gym so feeling pretty solid all round.
