More Than A Race - Isiko Mpilo
The Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) is excited to announce the start of its annual roadshow at the Run Zone Athletics Clubhouse in Johannesburg in three weeks (Thursday, 6 February 2025 at 19h00).
As the Comrades training season kicks off, the roadshow will visit four key locations to inspire and equip its 24,000 participants for The Ultimate Human Race on Sunday, 8 June 2025.
Local running clubs in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape will host the Comrades roadshows over the coming weeks. Comrades Coach, Lindsey Parry encourages runners to attend these sessions to receive exclusive advice on training, nutrition, injury prevention, and tapering, among other essential topics, including a motivational talk.
Coach Parry says, “These roadshows are designed to assist runners at every level. We will focus on important aspects like consistency in your training, building a strong base and improving endurance; paying attention to signs of fatigue or injury; making time for rest and recovery; ways to help prevent injuries and improve overall performance; as well nutrition issues and fuelling your training to aid recovery.”
