Hmm, not sure. Never had gout. Is it something that goes away on its own? I think you can never have too much rest so even though it's 'just' twinging, it might be an idea to play it safe. I'm sure an extra day or two off won't kill you.

Think I will wait for at least two consecutive twinge free days before I get started again. The last thing I need is to mess it up again considering I aggravated it once by continuing running when when it was giving me grief.

Had the best day out. Not a Bill Rowan as planned but I gave it my all. When I saw I wasn't going to make a sub 9 at 70km I slowed down and just enjoyed the last 18km and soaked up the atmosphere.

Well done!
 
Guys, just cause I am having some downtime doesn't mean you can, where the runs?

I was away for a conference. Lesson learned on Tuesday morning: dont go for a run after drinking a stupid amount of beer and Jagermeister the night before.... Your body WILL punish you.
 
How cool is this??? !! There is a permanent champion chip timing mat at Sun City, just outside the Gary Player country club.

I saw some route markings on my run and then I found the sign in the attached picture.

Haven't done anything since Half Ironman. I've been sick since last Monday, had flu for a few days and now I've got a nasty, phlegmy cough that just won't go away :crying:

On a side note, running down at the coast is the business. Set a new PB for a half marathon (2:05:33 yes, I know it's not very quick) after swimming and cycling for over 3 and a half hours.

Lol, no shame in that time given the other disciplines that would've taken it out of you.
 
that's better guys :D keep up the running! in other news, i finally got a fitness tracker, i.e a garmin watch, so maybe i can start monitoring my pace better.

I wouldn't make that time without the swim and the run :oops:
 
My goal this year is to run a full marathon before I turn 40, so I decided on the Soweto Marathon. Until now, I've only done 21's, so it will be a nice challenge.

PB:
5K - 26:55
10K - 57:39
21.1K - 2:04:01

You'll easily manage a marathon with those times. Good luck!
