Cannot agree with you more. The sheer number of different shapes and sizes of people at road races always amazes me. Especially at the Comrades, where the saying "everyman's everest" is particularly applicable. How people transform themselves to ach…

Firstly, for those of you you that knew and blogged on the old RoadRunning.org site, it is still available here, just as it was before. The old posts are also syndicated on the home page to ensure they still get a spot in the limelight. My apologie…

2009 Traumeel Wally Hayward Marathon

This past Friday, 1 May, I ran my fifth Wally Hayward Marathon. Seems like I have been doing my fifth of a lot of races lately!

The Wally has always been my preferred Comrades qualifying race, but this year it was simply a training race as it is no longer a qualifier due to the Comrades being earlier. The race organisers also added a 32 km race for people the are busy with their taper running up to the big one. The 2009 event included 5, 10, 21, 32 and 42 km races!

I decided to do the marathon… Continue

2009 Loskop Marathon

Yesterday, 18 April, saw the 24th running of the Forever Resorts Loskop 50 km Ultra Marathon. This is an event that has been voted as one of SA's top road races for many a year and in my opinion it definitely deserves the credit. I completed my fifth and fastest Loskop to date this year.

Seeing as I have not yet qualified for the Comrades, the Loskop was basi… Continue

Comrades Marathon entry closing date extended

Taken from the Irene Running Club communication;

Entry Closing Date extended!
The CMA officially closed entries for the 2009 Comrades Marathon on Tuesday 31 March 2009.

Since the closing date on Tuesday, the CMA has been inundated with telephone calls, emails and faxes from desperate runners wishing to still enter Comrades 2009. Most if not all have stated that they had not entered due to the misleading reports that Comrades may be cancelled.

CMA Management had a difficult decision to… Continue

Site moved to Ning

Firstly, for those of you you that knew and blogged on the old RoadRunning.org site, it is still available here, just as it was before. The old posts are also syndicated on the home page to ensure they still get a spot in the limelight.

My apologies for the site being down for so long, the server that hosted the old site crashed a while ago and I did not really get around to bringing it back online.

The old platform that it was running on, Commun… Continue

2009 Sunrise Monster 32 km

This past Saturday saw the thirty second running of the Sunrise Monster 32 km. The race, as its name implies is usually a bit of a "monster".

I did my fifth Monster this year and it was definitely the hardest one. The new route is a lot tougher than it seems and a lot harder than the previous routes. The original route that included Neptune etc was in my opinion a much better route, but the race could apparently no longer follow that route for some reason or another.

The 2009 route, taken from… Continue
