I've been running for years on the road with earphones. I wouldn't do it in a race but I never took part in a race. I can't do distance without something to keep me occupied, and the Airpods super leaky design allows for enough outside noise to be aware of my environment.

I recently started running with earphones, and I keep the volume low enough to hear cars (though I try to run on quiet roads and on the pavement). No way will I run with them in a race though, you need to be a lot more aware.

I know some ppl use "runners lube" to prevent leg chaffing, its a real thing and is hell! I bought a few pairs of ski pants that I wear under my runners shorts and have never had an issue since. Just my 2c :)

Yes!!! Anti-chafing cream/lube helps a lot on inner thighs and on longer runs, on nipples. The best thing for me was getting shorts with inner compression shorts though; they are awesome.

Yes that pretty much what mine is but your is all in one. Much more expensive I would imagine but a much better option than none.

HAHA nipple burn I forget. Cotton shirts on 15km will kill your nipples :P

Stretch. Take anti-inflammatory tabs if necessary to help with the healing process.
 
OP, if you're part of vitality, do yourself a favour and activate the shoe booster and apple watch booster (if you have an iphone). Really is motivating to get new toys, and to track your runs.

Agree on this, my shoes set me back R2800 worth it but if you can use discovery then score!
 
Good shoes, I run with Asics Gel Nimbus or Nike Pegasus. They cost a lot but the last thing you want is runners knee, shin splints and other related issues.

Just entered for my 9th Safari Half Marathon on the 1st of May.

Stick with them Asics rather.

When you only have a certain amount of time, set out for 5km this morning and a road was blocked did 6.5km :)
 
My running has gone down hill (pun intended) the last few years as I tend to do more MTB riding. I did manage to go around the block twice recently, one time looking like Ali G. Seeing as Safari is 21.1 I figured doing 66% of that for training will be ok. My pace however is pathetic as of late and if I ever go over 6m/km I'll consider hanging up my running shoes.

Oh, don't forget to post your PBs here.

Good gravy! that's very respectable. I dropped 5 kgs in Feb so after the Argus this weekend I'll focus more on running.

Been working hard this year, down from 102 to 96 since Jan. Good clean whole eating, good exercise. No cras diets, no banting, IF etc for me. I'm going for a good overall lifestyle. I don't deny myself anything had some chocolate and mini magnum last night.

Its all "everything in moderation" for me!
 
Nice going!

I did a bit more aggressively back in the day, lived on cracker bread and water for a couple of month, lots of running, lost a third of myself. Then gradually dialed back the old diet while remaining active. Thankfully the running and riding became part of my lifestyle. Now I save a good bit each month by using the bike to get to work .
