The official running thread™

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 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.
 
Any recommendation for good podiatrist in Pretoria ? Need new inners.
