Comrades only 3 weeks away

You’ve trained hard and sacrificed a lot, and now the Comrades is only three weeks away! During the next 
couple of weeks your Comrades dream can be made or lost - no matter how hard you have trained, what you do from now until race day will help determine what happens to you come 1 June 2014. 

• Study the route: no need to know it inside out, but know where the hard parts are and where you can ease up. 
• Decide now at which points you want to be within what time, and decide where you are going to take in your nutrition or special muty. 
• Keep up your faster, shorter weekday runs. 
• Make sure you get enough sleep. 
• Stay away from family, friends or colleagues who are sick or have colds/flu. 
• If you get sick now, consider not going to the Comrades - next year there will be another Comrades!
• Support the training sessions organised by the club and dress warmly after training. 

 
Happy running!
