The official running thread™

Ok well I paid for the Joburg North Marathon (2027) so hopefully I qualify for the two oceans.....and gosh maybe comrades next :oops:
aim for the stars - motivation is temporary, but a target/goal is a rock-solid motivator
 
How long were you out the game ? Eish when I first started.....running feels like this...why oh why 😭
Last event was Hillcrest Marathon this year. got injured after that and pulled out of TO. Literally stopped road and trails
 
Getting back to running is damn hard.. never has a 5k seemed so agonising
Respect to those smashing those runs daily
That's the sucky part about running. It's terrible until your fitness is up to scratch again.

It's been 8 weeks since I got back into it and I'm finally at a stage where I'm starting to feel like I'm close to where I was before falling/illness.
 
I got a new watch a couple of days ago: Huawei GT 6 Pro. My current one was a Huawei GT Runner, and I was super happy with it. GT 6 has a lot more, at a reasonable price. Huge battery life (21 days, 14 days with fitness activities). The GT 7 Pro is out now, but is quite a bit more expensive (R8K vs R5.5). I got R1600 off thanks to stealing my son's Vitality gadget discount.

So far, so good. I'll see how it does with running at the Pirates 10K and Parkrun.

Garmin or bust :p

Sorry...
 
Health is back to normal smashed out a 10km with the little guy this morning with summer here again the early morning runs before breakfast are the only things that are going to work. Think the max distance with the current setup will be 2x15km a weekend.

Finally feel like I have a bit more balance in my life little guy also just turned 17 months old and is running around a lot. Looking forward to run with him in the not too distant future.

Also busy with a brew day busy brewing up an English special bitter finally getting round to doing that too!

It's crazy at the point of realizing it's no longer the "baby" phase he is now proper toddler
Indeed. I can still remember the posts about the imminent arrival. Hopefully there are thousands of happy kilometers in the future. Once the kid gets a taste for the speed your days are numbered :P
