Edgar Posted April 3, 2018 Share Are you only running here (as a sport)? or how are you fitting in cycling or whatever other training? I applaud these distances, its a lesson in dedication. Pretty much only running at the moment. Do strength work(GRUCOX) and the odd cycle, just don't have time to cycle as well. Started out in Oct 2016 with a goal to go Sub 7 this year after taking some time off the bike. So it is an all or nothing, no point in messing about and not being dedicated to that goal.

I think you can do it. You look very strong and fast... Edgar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacc Posted April 3, 2018 Share I saw the ladies Comrades shirt at the OMTOM expo. It is not even pink, it is more a purple color. So I am not sure what all the whining is about. Lexx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottCM Posted April 3, 2018 Share Caroline came in 118th in the women's @ 4:56, that's over an hour behind Gerda, possum or not there this year with all her injuries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-rad Posted April 3, 2018 Share Caroline came in 118th in the women's @ 4:56, that's over an hour behind Gerda, possum or not there this year with all her injuries?Looked to be a very relaxed slow training run for Caroline.

Andrew Steer Posted April 3, 2018 Share Looked to be a very relaxed slow training run for Caroline. Yeah, I think she pretty much said as much... it's still a big worry though that she hasn't been able to race - that's when you find out where you really are in your prep. Hoping she's on track though, Comrades is later this year as a bit of a plus for her, it would be great to have all the top ladies at the top of their game for Comrades ScottCM and Lexx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackes Posted April 4, 2018 Share Caroline did take the Omtom and Comrades in 2015, then Omtom again in 2016 and in the process of becoming the first to take both of them two years in a row, she decided to go for the down record as well and that is where she buggered it up in Comrades 2016. But she, and a few others has omtom and Comrades in the same year. Lexx and Andrew Steer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
