Cyclists with a "Running" Problem

[dave303e]

the few crazies that are running the Race to Rhodes, started this morning, first 20km done they are cruising along nicely

[Stretch]

Then you need to question if you are running for the right reasons..

Ummm...I don't think you need to question the reason why I run thanks very much... But I'm sure as hell not gonna put my body through 90km for "fun". You run 90km for achievement... To be able to proudly say you are a comrades finisher, or work towards a green number and proudly wear that green number.

 

Second point.. if it were cancelled...It would actually be quite irresponsible if big disparate groups of people decided to run the route, distributed for tens of miles along a very dangerous stretch of road without any road closure or police presence

[Jase619]

You two and probably another 10000 of us.

I truly hope not. The point of the cancellation is to not get us to gather in our thousands. Like it or not, the sooner we stem the spread the sooner we can get back to our normal lives. Going to be an interesting few months ahead.

OK the first 99 to arrive first gets to run

I think the CMA must make a decision asap. Unfortunately the number effected wont go down within 3 months. It will prob get worse before it'll get better.

CMA doing themselves no favours at the moment; started the substitution process, but not responding to any queries or calls to the contact centre regarding cancellation/postponement

Poly Christodoulou Podiatrist in Bedfordview, she’s done all my inners for me. I can highly recommend her.

ja... That comrades route is definitely not 'fun'... But I run 90km or more for fun pretty often out of competition. Often alone.

 

Not on the road, but usually there are a few road stretches linking mountains or peaks.

 

I even do it when I'm not training for anything. I find it really fun and therapeutic.

You're a better man than me....I don't mind hiking for long distances like that... But don't get as much joy in running them. I run to compete against myself and others..I hike to enjoy my surroundings

 

Run - road

Hike - mountains

Even the trail runs are being cancelled now.

 

I was supposed to do Drakensberg Northern Trail this weekend - postponed, no dates yet

My goald race for the year is UTD100, also looks like it will be postponed, race organisers will announce the way forward tomorrow.

He makes customised orthotics according to your video analysis. The orthotics last 3 years (depending on the number of kms your run). I have seen him twice in the 6 years.
