Went for a run yesterday afternoon around 430. Was total schite
The air was filled with smoke. Battled to breathe properly. Eventually gave up at 8 k's
Will try again this afternoon unless there's smoke again in which case I will give it up as a lost cause
Also a schit-load of drunk drivers speeding around. Never ever seen that before. Thanks Ramapoephol and the collective! Bunch of arseholes!

So any takers for the Comrades Virtual Run?
I'm in two minds about whether to stick to my usual 10k or attempt my first 20k

I was thinking of doing the 10k. Fitness is not where it was pre-lockdown.

We have a few days to decide. Will definitely be doing something though

I think Ill do the 10k, but I really dont like paying R150 for a virtual run...
I dont care much for the medal, but I would like the shirt. A friend of mine got a 3D printable medal for one race, I thought thats pretty neat though.
I've shifted to running in the afternoons at about 4pm. Traffic is annoying but I'm enjoying the warmer temperatures.

Same here. Still trying to find a decent route where I can avoid both vehicles and dogs

You're a braver man than I. I'm dreading that first run back (whenever that may be).

Hmm... this has got me thinking maybe I can do the 21.1km in 1hour 50mins, will be one hell of a challenge for me and if I make it will be by seconds.

You will make 10km even if you have to walk a bit, your body wont forget that quickly.

I've been doing 5k runs since level 4. But I'm about 7 mins slower than before. This is Comrades after all, so I'd like to do a bit more than the very minimum.
And hills. You beg for cars and dogs when you hit the hills.

Sounds like achilles tendonitis but determine whether it's:
Insertional Achilles tendonitis affects the lower portion of your tendon where it attaches to your heel bone.
Noninsertional Achilles tendonitis involves fibers in the middle portion of the tendon
I had noninsertional - stopped for a few weeks did intense RICE and it flamed up again. Only thing that worked was eccentric heel raises. Pain is gone now.
No idea
