  1. Any one of these sporting decision is tough, dammed if you do, dammed if you don't.
  2. Hi guys, not sure if something like this has been discussed before. I recently bought a new pair of running shoes, Saucony Ride ISO 2, absolutely love them. My problem however is that the left heel has worn off to the point that I'm not sure if I'll get 200km's on them. This has never happened before and my Cumulus 21 has 750km on and can probably still do another 100km's. So my question, do I write this off as being the wrong shoe? I do most of my runs with my girl in a pram, holding it with my right hand, is there a case to be made that one over compensate with the left side because you are holding it with your right side? Or is it more complicated than that? Would love to hear your opinions on this.

  4. Very good summary. Luckily in Cape Town it doesn't get below 5 degrees easily..... I think ;-)
  5. Hi Guys Any advise on layering in the winter. Cycling is relatively easy, but what do you do with running, seeing that it is kind of difficult to store the clothing as you take it off?
  6. Depends on how much you want to spend.
  7. Yeah, I've omitted that, I can do sub 5 mins/k relatively comfortably for 10-15km, lets say 4:55 in race condition, but would love to get to do a half marathon in sub 1:40, but that is easier said than done. I've also got my training set on doing more speed work, and then try and do at least 1 kind set of strength training after a run, and possibly do some stretching at night when the kids are in bed, not the best, but the only way to get a good stretch in on a regular basis. I guess something is better than nothing at all.
  8. Some insight please. In order to increase your speed, what would you say will make the biggest change (apart from all of the above) 1. More running or 2. regular interval, tempo running or 3. strength training or 4. stretching Reason I am asking is, although it sounds stupid, it really is difficult for me at this stage to squeeze in that extra 30-45mins of training. I've got about an hour a day to try and be a better runner, or accepts it is what it is at the moment.
  9. Yeah, forgot about the injuries, you are 100% correct. What distances do you run?
  10. A question on training, that might have been discussed here before. What's your thoughts on going out and banging out workouts at race speed (each to his own), and building up from there, vs following a program where you do intervals in difference heart rate/pace zones and then doing slower long runs in like zone 2? Following one of those, I am wondering how you convert the interval training to doing a half, or marathon, in the speed you want to finish it in.
