Cyclists with a "Running" Problem

[Andrew Steer]

ja..I'm bad..toasted white bread saamies with cheese most days...a can of coke and choccie a couple of times a week..chips ...but I dont drink that much alcohol which keeps me slim

 

Stuff you stretch!

Ja, it's all about breaking the habit - he says, not thinking about his regular glass of wine whilst making food. 

 

Still not game for this Comrades madness, but kept ticking over and had a nice weekend, will now slow off for the remainder of the week with Kleinmond XL trail run on the weekend.

 

Next target, Cape Town marathon.

Just got some new shoes specifically because my current ones aren't going to make it. But it felt very harsh on the front foot over the initial two runs. Then strangely it felt better yesterday, so it just might work out and not get to be training shoes only. Maybe it broke in or something, they did say (at the shop) that the heel will feel hard initially. Think yesterday's run took them from just shy of 30 to 50k's, which a buddy previously mentioned is about the distance it takes to get shoes run in.

Ja nee

Still on track for a marathon at the end of October.

Following a HR based program from polar flow and really struggling with the easier days.... HR limit is so low it's hard not to exceed it. Picked up a slight niggle in my right foot, but keeping it under control with stretching and foam roller.

Also read the article about Zola. Jeez i feel sorry for her....

I remember that race vividly - it was broadcast on national tv

[SeaBee]

Hmmm, I suspect the new shoes I hoped to do Cape Town Mar in, will not be the ones carrying me on the day. It simply nails my forefoot on any longer runs or when I run in them when I'm tired. My feet are incredibly sore and stiff afterwards, basically the tendons under the arch. No plans to run myself into planar f pains! They will become my training pair for shorter daily runs, otherwise I'll not be able to walk after k 30!   Higher drop shoes obviously does not do the thing for me... even if it's slightly higher. But weirdly, they don't feel like higher drop shoes.

 

Anyways, they're not going to see marathon distance on my feet! Fine for those shoe-killing training miles.

I grabbed my balls and bought... My new 230 arrives on the 25th

So how is the 230?   I still see one in my near future...
