Pinched nerve in my back keeping me from running for 2 weeks now.

Is the indoor cycling specifically to help your knee? Is it working?

it is just to put less stress on my knee while still being able to exercise

Hey guys left my two oceans qualifying a bit late so I over trained the last couple of weeks and gave myself shin splints. Need to run a marathon in two weeks so looking for any recovery tips and alternative exercises to keep fit? Thanks

For your weight and age that's an incredible achievement. Well done!

No excuses for the rest of us anymore

I want to run a half marathon in 2020.

Okay so that's done. It hurt and there was some walking involved, but I did it.

Got my first half marathon race next month. Aiming for anything under 3 hours.

For a moment there I thought you wanted to aim for under 3 hours for a marathon, but I see it's a half marathon. I think my best marathon was 3:17 or 3:18, but it was about half my life ago

Can confirm. A friend of mine has entered two 100km now and hasn't finished either. My other friend who did the 65km last year that I seconded got to UCT and looked like she didn't know where she was. Only after a few minutes of sitting and loads of fluids did she start to come around.

Anyway, @ChrisJ can elaborate.

It's a tough one but made harder by the 17 hour cutoff. Too many go out too fast thinking after Platteklip that it's easy, well, you've only started at that point. Racing in the summer heat also hammers your body.

I'll see how UTD 100k compares in April - Altitude there is the killer.

Doing the Slave Lodge run on Sunday. Not a run for a PB - got a huge hill that almost everyone walks!

I was planning on a training run for Vaal today but the weather was just to good not to go for a PB

That is a crazy quick pace! And that pace over 42km is amazing!
