I have gone through all the pages and found a few "quiet" folks whom have entered but not joined in the conversation as of late.

 

This coupled with the ever growing list of events made me decide to create a spreadsheet that everyone can edit much easier. Lets hope it works as this is my 1st attempt at such a thing.

 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17c3Re7dGpkbBvFENrfn-hsTUxvdvxaYeoDArGQW1NIQ/edit?usp=sharing

 

Please let me know if you guys can open it and edit it too.

 

 

Says I need a Google Account to Edit it

 

But out of that Lot ill be at , Kaapsehoop, 2Oceans, Johnson Crane, and the Big C

 

Possibly also Loskop as my 2nd Ultra

 

 

Will Probably also do Sasolburg Marathon in Feb and Slowmag in late April/Early May

Thanks , Not Really

 

2 Ultras and 3 Marathons in the Calendar year before Comrades is quite Standard.

 

But Nothing Race pace, already did my Qualifier at Cape Town Marathon in September so the rest is all a Build up.

 

Looking to fit in 1850kms from 1 Jan.

But on looking at the Spread sheet I see Loskop and Slowmag are only 8 Days apart so might try and find the 3rd Marathon a week or so later.

Ok seem the spreadsheet was set on view only , I have changed it to edit. Hopefully you guys can amend it now as needed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I take it the spreadsheet is working now as I see "monkey on a bianchi" has added his name to a few events including the BIG C, bringing us to 13 hubbers entered.

Comrades and a marathon are 2 completely Different Beasts...

 

7h29.59 would work nicely... But we all know how SH#T can happen on the Day in that race...

going for my 3rd, goal this year is sub 10 im not fast and wont manage as much mileage as most of you guys, will do the slowmag ultra and one other marathon race but the rest is just long sunday runs on my own about 30km, with a long cycle on a saturday.

Just had  look at your stats and you have a Half Marathon best of 58:30

 

 

I am in a total different league to all of you guys, the worse than mortal league. My goal is Sub 11, that's all.

That must be a mistake...that's world record type of pace for 21.

If your goal is simply sub 11, let me give you this advice. You may think I'm nuts though. I have run 8 comrades & 4 of them are down runs. The last one was on 350km of training.

If there is one thing you learn, it is WALK down the big hills.

walk down Polly's

walk down Inchanga,

walk down Bothas &

walk down Fields.

 

I promise you won't regret it.

This year I ran all the downs at my marathon pace (4:50 to 5 per k) and half walked ran the 2 big early hills (bothas and Fields) and then from cato ridge walked all the hills fast.......I was hoping the downs will be an advantage for me in 2016......do those big hills have sufficient an impact on the quads to take it easier?

ja something seriously wrong with that time my best half was 1:34 at johnson crane half this year, my life goal is to try and break 1:30 in a half which il try at johnson crane next year.

Stretch, a lot of it depends on the type of time you are running. I presume you're aiming for another Bill or quicker so you should be in shape to run all the downs. My comment was aimed more at those looking for a 10:30/11:00 hour run.

 

Your quads will get sore and you'll feel a little sorer afterwards than you did after the up run. You should be fine to run them all but don't race down them and certainly don't race down fields because you're feeling good and there's only 24k to go. Many a runner has raced down fields only to find he walks almost the whole of Pinetown.
