Have you done Dischem 21 in Bedfordview?

Did the NumNum 32k Trail on the 27th July. I always forget how technical it is, cramped the whole of the 2nd half, left my ego somewhere on the trail..

The Boroughs of Bedfordview thats coming up soon is in the same area. Kloof rd is always fun!
yoh thats some elevation gain right there
After dealing and treating asthma, which has impeded my running for a month, I'm back in prep for SCTM and even bought the Adidas Boston 12 SCTM edition to motivate me a bit more. Doing 5km daily until I can challenge myself with longer runs.
It would be much worse in reverse! (Well, Fisher's Hill, at least...)
I couldn't be bothered to sign up for Old Eds - the parking is such a hassle, and it's quite expensive compared to other races. Just as well; I entertained friends on Saturday, and with all the walking around and doing thing, I really struggled with my 5K run on Sunday.
A few times yes and I regularly do parts of that route. I stay close-by.
AG Dewitt is a popular comrades training route. Reverse looks like fun - I must try it.
Wanderers is up on Sunday - much better route.
Date for Jeppe marathon announced. Certainly one of the fastest races in Jhb.
Not a big crowd so ample parking in the VA grounds where it starts.
It's become a bit of a circus...

For those thinking about it, do it!
Monties was a really amazing experience, well organised, and obviously one of the most beautiful parts of SA. Tough race, but worth the effort.
It's only 4hrs from Gauteng, and the entry includes meals and camp site - good value for money.
And they support the conservation of this amazing bird, the bearded vulture:

Always wanted to do that one. Coming from the coast, I'll need a week there to first acclimatize to the altitude. 8h47 is good going in that terrain.

From my perspective, it's not as big of a factor as anticipated, unless you are a fore-runner and going for gold - nice and steady and the body does well in adjusting to the altitude.

Okay, as a relatively new runner (again) and clicking in at 120kg. Zone 2 running horrible, I am slow at the best of times but zone 2 slow is next level.
