Good pace by the way!

Thanks. I was trying out a fasted run so didn't push it on the downhills this time around.

@TofuMofu How was your race ?

It's this coming Sunday. I did a 16km long run yesterday. Legs are a bit stiff today so hopefully they'll be fine for Sunday.

149 bpm average at that pace looks like a very promising sign for what's to come.

The land got sold to some developer

Yonks later and I still miss Ashburton. Pmb really doesn't have anything that matches it

Had to resort to the dreadmill yesterday since it was raining. That was the longest 39 minutes of my life. Next time I'm choosing the rain since the end result would be the same - being soaked. The rain would just be way more enjoyable.

Threshold session today. 3x7:00 @ 173 bpm. I overdid it a bit, but I don't think I've ever hit these paces so consistently without redlining my HR.




Bonus event: Old guy had his dog off-leash. The dog charged another walker who had their dog on a leash. I saw the whole thing. As the off-leash guy walked past me his wife said 'that's just a dog being a dog'. I couldn't resist and chimed in, 'No, that's why you need a leash as the municipal bylaws require'. The guy went ballistic. Told me to bugger off since he didn't need my information. Why is it that when people know they are in the wrong they go on the offensive? Idiots will be idiots.

And I need to learn to keep my mouth shut even though it irks me to see rules/regulations broken to the detriment of others.

Takealot has the Puma Velocity Nitro 5 on special for R1999. It's the lowest I've seen them. (And of course the price dropped a week after I got mine for considerably more).

If you go for the red ones be aware that they are VERY bright. Tempted to grab a black pair now...

Cascades would make an ideal PR..

Ordered a black pair too.

And then Takealot dropped a R150 off coupon. I can't win

So if that coupon is still active the VN5 at R1849 is even more of a steal.

I have trust issues with NB shoes after my huge fall in my 860V14.

Anyone here doing the Harrismith Mountain Race?

Ouch. What happened?

 

[Kornhub]

Will probably need to retire these bad boys soon.

Ouch. What happened?

Sprinted on tarred road but there was loose dirt on the surface after rains. Shoes slipped and I took a tumble. Skinned both knees badly and my left palm had a considerable crater taken out of it.
