Making it to the start of Comrades Marathon is as much an achievement as is completing the gruelling 85.9km journey from Durban to Pietermaritzburg.

This episode is for those of you competing in this years version of the Comrades Marathon or those of you hoping to support on the road during the day. This episode is even for those of you watching from the comfort of your home and hoping to gain a little more insight onto race day. Who are we kidding, this episode is for everyone.... because The Ultimate Human Race is for everyone.

We are here. It is Race Week. The training is done, the nerves have kicked in and the final race day preparations are well under way. Listen to Nic and Davey as they guide you through everything and anything you need to know for the days leading up to the race and race day itself. You will hear many 'top tips' along the way and you can be sure to walk away from this one having learned something useful to take into race day and feeling far more calm about the Comrades journey you are about to take on, whether you are running your 50th Comrades like Barry Holland or are a total Novice on your first attempt.

In this conversation we cover:

  • Race Week build up: Race goal and strategies, nutrition , taper, mental game, sleep and recovery strategies
  • Days leading up the the event: Comrades Expo, Carbo Loading, Hydration & Electrolyte refuelling, Sickness and Injury Management, recommendations regarding movement and running
  • Race Day: Morning Pre-race Advice, Race Plan, Route breakdown, Seconding advice, Nutrition and Hydration Strategies
  • Top Tips from Nic and Davey with all the above topics in mind

We have put together the perfect one stop shop for all Comrades Runners so that you don't have to look any further. We have take the extensive advice received from past guest of the show as well as our acquired knowledge through the years to give you an episode not to be missed.

Take it all in, re-listen if you must and make sure to share with your running buddies. We will see you on route and wish you all the best for a successful day out there!
