So after I went for physio, I found out my feet does weird things. Anyone that can recommend a podiatrist or similar in the Randburg area?

 

[wise_guy]

Weird how?

 

[GhostSixFour]

Weird how?

Hectic supination.

Are we required to run wearing a mask now?

 

[Aharon]

No you are not - not if it's deemed strenuous

Cotton mask or neck gaiter? Check out how effective different kinds of masks are

Researchers ranked more than a dozen masks on how well they might protect wearers and those around them from COVID-19.

Please stop. You're making it worse..

A neck gaiter, an item beloved by runners, ranked worse than no mask at all. The porous fabric may break the larger particles into smaller ones. Smaller particles remain in the air longer than large droplets.

They actually make them now with extra layers by the nose and mouth to work as a mask

If that is the one they are using, then great. Although "buff" as a brand doesn't have those, I think.

Still, I don't think most people know this.

About 91% of shops I have seen them in here, only sell the double threads ones now

I carry a buff or mask in my pocket, but also don't go near anyone.

Opposite of what I and most people have with foot issues.
Over pronation.

Yeah. Which sucks, cause there is way more help with over pronation. However, I'm getting inserts for my feet and likely will get new shoes as well.

One place wanted to up my regular size by 1 - cause otherwise it causes issues, apparently. Anyone heard of this before?

Yes with running one size bigger because your feet goes through a bit of swelling during runs and you don't want snug that turns into too tight.

I did my longest run ever this weekend 50km with a small group of people, at 25km we had people waiting to refuel us and half the group ended there. The rest of us ran back.

The terrain was pretty tough and we only kinda had a route so we had to back track a bit. After the first 25km we could pick up the pace but still took us 9hours.

So Comrades officially cancelled.
Who else is doing the virtual run on 13 June?

Going to see if I can do my first full marathon.
