Also in the computer scene, part of my shoulder issues as well... we're not made for this! 

 

This is the worst part of my problems.  My shoulders and neck are a terrible mess thanks to this.

Back to the food/diet topic - in agreement with all of those comments. Eat and be healthy. Starving yourself will hamper all recovery processes. Not saying go bananas with the unhealthy stuff, but even that has a place. And if you want pro opinion on this - David Roche actively promotes ditching the scale and eating pizza!  :D Selective reading works for me! 

 

I try follow the 80/20 rule. Eat healthy / nutritious 80% of the time. I don't deprive myself of anything though, but I try eat quality food instead. It helps that I love fruit and veg.

Can't believe there's only 30days left.

I missed 3 months somewhere. 

 

With our club's Comrades braai coming up I had to draw the names of our members running this year. I love working with data so I did some investigation on the number of members that did not qualify. 26% of our members did not qualify, almost 30%, which to me is a scary number. The most popular qualifier is Kaapse Hoop, with 18% of our runners qualifying at Kaapse Hoop. In the second place, it was Vaal Marathon with 14% and third Irene with 11%. 

We have 11 novices this year and 10 doing their back 2 backs.

 

Would love to get my hands on all the Comrades data.

Do you follow Mark Dowdeswell on Twitter? He's a running and stats enthusiast. He often comes up with fascinating stats on Comrades, including occasionally uncovering a cheat with impossible negative splits.

I see the algorithm literally takes your Average pace per km over the last 4 weeks running and Multiplies it by 91kms..

 

Very scientific... :whistling:

 

lol - considering the longest run I have done in that period is a 21  :lol:

I see Jim Walsmley listed Comrades as a bucket list race, man I would pay to see this

 

Looking forward to this year's Western States, insane field
