Hacc Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 (Bump) OMTOM: in the 2000's there was a historical record of all previous OMTOM ultra finishers: 'Captain's Log' or similar, it was called. Is this still produced, and, if so, is there an electronic version available? Anyone got a link? Thanx.Will this help?http://www.twooceansmarathon.org.za/events/info/results
dave303e Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 My X-berg route is finalised105Km of running, 143 km of cycling this one is going to hurt a little.Fresh pair of Hoka's to keep the feet happy and some proper mountains to keep the soul happy. Enjoy the long weekends running, drive safe for hobbit all those heading down. Lexx, shaper, Pieter-za and 3 others 6

ScottCM Posted April 26, 2018 Author Posted April 26, 2018 A while ago i went to two different bio's, both told me i have knee tracking issues but both prescribed totally different ways to solve the problem. With all the training that was involved for tri's i neglected these to the extent that by the time i got of the bike i couldn't walk let alone run the other day. So i've decided to can my Comrades aspirations and spend the next few months sorting out my knee tracking issues instead. Is there anyone here who has successfully gone through this process that can direct me to the person that helped them get "Fixed" so i can have a better sporting life going forward?

Frosty Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Another newbie question: Winter running gearWhat gear (clothing, not shoes) do you guys run in, during the chillier months? Shorts and shirt/vestLong tights and long shirtCombination of the above This winter will be my first, as a runner, and l’ve already noticed a difference in the need for ride gear vs running gear. Running seems that less is required. Last Sunday I ran with two layers, a short sleeve shirt under a long sleeve shirt (both moisture control). My hands felt the cold almost the entire run (10km), yet I felt a tad warm with two shirts on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're still fine man! 1973 saw the first ever Comrades Marathon win by a university student. Dave Levick of the University of Cape Town was only able to put in 6 decent weeks of training prior to #TheUltimateHumanRace. He finished with a personal best, taking the title in a new record time of 5:39:09 #ThrowbackThursday
Jackes Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Winter running gear There is cheaper at Mr Price for example, but I can vouch for these! I do have a Mr P compression shirt for baselayer when it is really cold, otherwise a nice tight fit running shirt (Thanks Omtom 2016 for the small sizes) and a top for example - https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/t-asics-mens-long-sleeve-tee/5329or a very thin jacket for example - https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/cs-mens-helium-jacket/5325 These gloves works fantastic - https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/capestorm-frosty-running-glove Same goes for these pants - https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/first-ascent-mns-p3-tights/5328 PS: I did not pay nearly those amounts for them, I got them on specials!

Messier87 Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Winter running gearSo winter is rather relative depending where you are.I find that I need to dress up less than I think. The first 5 mins are cold, but when you warm up things get better. Guess I'm trying to say - I learned not to over do it. Looking at your location you will def need to run in a wet suit... -69.605,-53.354https://www.google.com/maps/place/69°36'18.0"S+53°21'14.4"W/@-67.7524478,-20.1576667,3z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d-69.605!4d-53.354 Frosty and Rocket-Boy 2

Jackes Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Forgot to mention the good old buff. As mentioned you need way less than one think as you warm up quickly. If you run the time of morning that I do in Bloem, you need my list above. Frosty 1
Stretch Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) i ran the whole winter here in shorts and first ascent thermal top. Accessories included gloves (which were really only for the first km or so and occasionally when the fingers got cold again and the buff (mos useful and important i reckon). On extra cold days I wore a sleveless salamon (the black from sani2c actually) and colder than that long sleeve one (also sani2C accessory!) Very very cold days I wore 2 socks and jocks...but mostly it was shorts and long sleeve thermal with buff Edited April 26, 2018 by Stretch
