Cyclists with a "Running" Problem

[Stretch]

Ran my first week in my new puma speeds. Low heel drop and promotes front foot strike. Calves were tight after 4 runs.. But is a nice way to distribute load around my legs. Using them for short daily runs and then my support ASICS for the long run

 How is everyone's training coming along?

 

 

Maybe a cycle on Sat - although I'm a little shaken about the Cradle right now if I'm honest...

 

Then 28km 'Mountain Monster' (!!) trail on Sunday, looking forward to getting out again, weathers made a nice turn

Had feet up all week, went for a wattbike session yesterday to loosen the lgs, will hit a hill session later and test the legs after weekend.

 

Anyone else get serious case f the munchies post race? according to woolworths serving suggestions I am 4 - 6 people most weeks after a race...

Its just woolies taunting us..

Just tapering...

 

Event on 2nd September, so I'm actually bored waiting for it.

[SwissVan]

Puttering along and only jogging twice a week, said to wiff I must try increase to 3 times per week. My feet are worrying me and no running goal at the moment other than to cross train and keep fit.

[SeaBee]

I am currently blessed with a lovely thick head. Head cold/sinus/allergy/whatever... And sore-ish throat to go. Early morning runs doesn't help much, but... pffff... 

 

Running a 30 with a buddy on Sunday, first long run I can remember since Oceans!   He dragged me into it - Somewhere in Simons Town, incl Red hill. Will be a first for me, so looking forward to it. Except for the early rise to get there from Paarl!

[Frosty]

One more 10km run (Wanderers), then mostly cycle events... R4V, a ride from Germiston to Durban (incl. Amashova), CCMNC weekend, Tshwane Classic, Alberton 21Km and finally 947.

Finally sort of getting back into things... been taking it easy (like always, but trying to avoid any injuries) - got Wanderers 21km next week which should be interesting, and then doing the rest of the Vitality series chased up by a return to Run the Berg in Oct. If you guys want a nice goal I can seriously recommend it, it's good value and doable for even non trail runners. I think there are still some entries left, it does sell out...

Also planning to do RFV and Satelite and then the 94.7 thing... might have to ride my bike I guess too at some point

Weather is looking up, feel much better about getting outdoors now - have a good weekend folks

Im also still running and riding.

Plan is to do R4V

Then the 2 day cosmos trail run in clarens

Maybe the satellite classic

Then kaapsehoop 42

[dave303e]

Kaapsehoop is on the radar/calender for me as well, just so I have a marathon qualifier is I get the urge to become a 'real runner' next year... 

 

Sadly again it will be racing on back to back weekends with Full Moon the week before...

 

Sometimes I envy pure runners, training must be so much more focused hey
