Ronniek Posted August 2, 2020 Share Longest training week I've ever done is about 110km and that was before comrades. Marathon training now I'll do about 4 to 6 solid weeks between 50 to 55 miles.. But that's it.... Guess that's why I don't have a sub 3!Must admit my pb’s up to half marathon have always come unexpectedly in the middle of high mileage training weeks. This should serve as motivation to up the mileage but as a shift worker there is just no time to do it. Can’t fit two sessions a day in to my schedule and having two rest days a week seems much more beneficial to my body’s aches and pains than forcing extra mileage on it.

Jewbacca Posted August 2, 2020 Share Has anyone done a 100 mile training week? I saw it on The Ginger Runners youtube page a while back and I can't shake it. Races don't count, just a week of purely self-inflicted 'training' pain. (the channel is well worth a browse if you don't know him, its mostly trail but there are solid reviews and really excellent mini-documentaries that he makes)Funnily enough I do fairly often. If I run Mon, Tue, Wed then do a 100-120km adventure Friday evening/night/Saturday morning I clock that up on the trails in a week. That or if I'm training for time splits over a big distance I will run 10-15km a few times in the week at easy pace then do 2 x 35-50km at 'race splits' on consecutive days. The km add up pretty quickly when you're having fun Chris_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter-za Posted August 2, 2020 Share Just watched Richard's review, he gave it 9/10, no mention of re-gluing. Also couldn't find anything on other reviews. Would be interesting to see if it's a longterm issue.https://www.strava.com/activities/3785161324Is that the Pegasus 37 in the pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted August 2, 2020 Share https://www.strava.com/activities/3785161324Is that the Pegasus 37 in the pics?Nope, that's not Pegasus. Its got a big Swoosh, different upper and different lace tabs. Pieter-za 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_ Posted August 3, 2020 Share As far as I'm concerned he's earned the right to wear what he wants. Regardless, if I ever do another track workout, I'm taking my (cycling) sleeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Posted August 3, 2020 Share Hey guys looking for a new racing shoes mainly for 5 - 10km, have asics gel nimbus for loner runs. Budget around R 2000 (want to use my discovery shoes booster) I see the Nike Men's Air Zoom Pegasus 37 which looks like a good option Any recommendations ?

dave303e Posted August 3, 2020 Share Are you tempted to try the bean diet? I have been known to down the odd can of baked beans in an adventure race, I tend to leave it at that otherwise it is a little too much like rocket fuel.Personally I love beans, but not as my staple diet thank you. In other news there is an epic Orienteering race happening in Lapland right now, 400+ km of wild running. https://sportrec.eu/ui/#1fht189 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 4, 2020 Share Seems like Poobie Naidoo's is back online again. Good thing, it's time for new shoes for me. Picked up a calf strain and then noticed that the left shoe is .5cm lower than the right! Hacc, Lexx and shaper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
