Two weeks since my last Blog and at least a week into COVID recovery. Still not feeling great and my good form seems a long time ago already. Of course I’ve been here many times with injuries and illness. The mind plays tricks and you think all is lost. Truth is, I need these short and long term goals and the training build to hit those goals. So when the training is interrupted and the goals are reset and seem way in the future it’s tough. That’s space I’m in now. But the pressure - if that’s the right terminology - is that next year I move up into the 60-64 age group and if I can relocate this year’s form I feel that I can be competitive in national Duathlon competitions. Plus I’ve qualified for the European Sprint Duathlon champs; just don’t know where this event is yet or when or if I can afford to go🥸.
Anyway, fact is I am now resetting from covid and aiming to start the same kind of routine that got me fitter than ever this year. That means the start point is conditioning. Here we go!
On to the next part of this blog post - fake Nike Alphafly super trainers! I love the Nike Alphafly and Vaporfly trainers. They are a game changer for sure. So when I saw a purchase option for Alphaflys at £99 I thought wow; got to get me some of these. . . . Even though I don’t need them right now. The provider was OnBuy.com; supposedly a reputable shop window purchase site. Turns out they are fake. When I received them they were instantly way heavier than my current real Alphaflys.
As well as the weight, they are not stiff at all. I can bend them in half. Where as the real ones are mega stiff - and stiff for a reason; so I assume the fakes don’t perform well at all.
Another cake signpost is the tongue label on the fake:
The words Alphafly NEXTZ is clear. But this is not what genuine Alphafly shows:
It is clear that the proper words should be Alphafly NEXT%
So there we are. Always purchase from a known source! Good news is that I can return these and OnBuy.com do provide purchase protection.
Onwards and upwards
