Loveday street gives 45 meters of climbing with an average gradient of 15%. To achieve 8848 meters of climbing he will need to summit this climb for an arduous 197 times! Bring your friends along and support Paul on this epic climb in Pretoria.

Well as any governing body will tell you, the record is only as good as the governing body who regulates it.

 

The joke is that using uncorrected, un-calibrated device with a barometer to claim a world record -cool story. My gps receiver had some messed up signals in the mist in a gully in the berg last week and apparently I ran a 30 second 2km. I will upload the file please give me the 2000m world record :ph34r:

Loveday st is a little beast. For those that have done the Sunrise monster 32km, that is the first hill you hit about 2 km into the race. Most runners walk it
