    I don't know about the shoes, but the shirts are definitely good enough for me. I mean you can pick up 2 of the shirts for the price of one of the brand names. For daily runs that's more than good enough. Don't get me wrong, the brand name shirts are a bit nicer but some of their prices are a...

    I have loads of Mr Price Sport shirts similar to these and they perform well for the price and have held up pretty well too. https://www.mrpsport.com/en_za/dri-sport-technical-t-shirt-107694677 You can't go wrong with Falke, Gilnokie or Balega socks. I'd say try some falke and Gilnokie first...

    I always said that I would only run if something was chasing me. After deciding to do something about my health and fitness I transitioned from exercise bike rides to running in 2023. Couldn't run a single km before that. Here are some helpful tips: Start slow. Your pace should be where you...

    Which Balega ones did you have? I've use the Falke Stride for long runs without any issues. Also the Balega Blister resists and Gilnokie socks.

    I struggle to find comfortable shorts since I fall in the bracket between a size M and L. The UA Heatgear compression shorts are nice, but that's something you need to wear underneath normal shorts.

    That sucks. I've been trying out some big brand running shirts. Ordered a L Nike Miler shirt from Takealot. It's slightly too big (or has a weird cut for the armpits), but in the time it took to arrive they sold out in the medium and large sizes. No use in returning it.

    All running shoes have become expensive. You are extremely lucky if you get anything good at sale prices just under R2000. Benchmark has moves up to mid R2k now.

    Hardware Bargains 2 - Electric Boogaloo

    Yeah, check the official manufacturer specs. Come across loads of errors on Amazon listings. AI thinks:

    Rules proposed to limit people to five SIM cards per mobile network in South Africa

    Only makes sense if the numbers are allocated to each person permanently. No recycling of numbers, once you get a number on a network that becomes yours for life. If a SIM is lost the same number just gets allocated back to you.

    Can't go wrong with a GT-2000. The upper should stretch a bit with wear. I have the trail version of the 14 and really like them. Firmer than Novablasts.

    That looks pretty enough to me. Heard these were a major upgrade to the line. How's the cushion and feel? Very soft?

    There's a sport shoe coupon? Thought it was only for the SA team gear.

    Took the weekend off. Back to it again today. 19 min threshold session: Actually managed to keep it at threshold and not venture into VO2Max

    My shins are a bit tender after volume increases and these actually helped a bit during yesterday's run. I agree that the forefoot padding is not ideal. Will take them out today too and see if I can figure out what I felt yesterday.

    Thoughts on the Puma Foreverrun 3 Just came back from my first run with the Foreverrun 3 and I must say I quite like them. They are VERY stable while the stability elements are not as harsh as the likes of Kayano. V1 and V2 were very "slappy", you heard ever footfall. These felt softer and did...
