Has anybody injured their Bursa in their knees, specifically behind the knee?

I had runners knee just before my first comrades. Sorted by massively reduced mileage (I did a proper taper that year) and running on grass. Most knee issues are overuse. Find a grass track and run on that if you need to still put in miles..... Else.... Rest

To do Om Die Dam you must be desperate. 

Hahaha... I kind of agree.

 

I got my rubber arm twisted and we booked accommodation at the start to take away the logistics at least - hopefully it's a decision I don't end up regretting

I keep getting a sponsored ad on FB from Totalsports about Adidas Solar Boost. They look like good shoes, although costing R500 more than the Nike's I got.

Where can I look for a two oseans half marathon entry for substitute. Any running sites like the hub out there?

 

Your best bet is probably to join a bunch of the local running clubs Facebook pages and keep an eye out there.

The sweat shop will help you out. Very good advise, allow you to run around the block in them. Some shops the sales people have no clue what they are selling, and the sweat shop was actually cheaper than other stores when I searched afterwards to see if I got a good deal. 

 

I chose the NB over the Adidas, bit cheaper and felt more comfortable.

Oh I'm happy with my Nike's, was wondering why I kept getting ads on FB for the Adidas. Also, I wouldn't be prepared at the moment to spend R2600 on another pair of road running shoes.

I probably won't ever run in anything else than Nike again. After spending a small fortune trying a heap of other expensive shoes.

How many of you all actively practice a specific breathing technique whilst running? 

 

I played around this morning during a treadmill run and noticed that I can get a pretty big drop in HR just by actively controlling my breaths, taking slower and more paced breaths.

Not really, I do try and maintain some sort of comfortable rhythm when things get hectic.

I have to actively try and remind myself to do it but it does definitely help. I notice on short runs where I’m pushing it that if I don’t breathe properly I tend to get stitches in my side quite easily.

Same here, probably. I'm happy with my Adidas trail running shoes, but will probably stick to Nike when it comes to road running shoes.
