Take the time to chat to fellow runners, each runner has their own story, I have become incredibly emotional on many runs, after fellow runners have told me their story, of why they started running.ĮKL – As a sport do you believe that running is growing in popularity in South Africa?ĪS – Most definitely. The runners that share the road with me every day, inspire me. What inspires me the most, is that she is an “ordinary” person, with a family, a day time job and yet she has achieved, what most deem, the impossible. The ladies Two Oceans Ultra Marathon and Comrades Marathon winner of 2015. Stick with what works for you, and if you want to experiment, do so on training and shorter runs.ĪS – If I had to identify a famous runner, it would be Caroline Wöstmann. Don’t try “new” foods/gels / supplements close to a big run or event. The greatest advice I can offer with Comrades preparation is to listen to your body, from a training and nutritional aspect. I tend to stick to the proteins and vegetables, with the aim of cutting out all refined carbohydrates. I tend to lean more towards the “tougher” runs, to not only prepare my body from a physical point-of-view but from a mental perspective as well.

Pre-Comrades, I identify events that I work towards for training, identify the full marathon that I will use as my Comrades qualifier, and ensure that I am prepared for those events.

It allows for your body to recover from the impact that running has on it, while still ensuring that you are getting exercise and working your muscles. Personally, cross-training suits me best. I have battled with injuries from school netball, so have to be very focused on strength and stability. Road running over trail running, at the moment.ĮKL – How do you prepare for a major race like Comrades from a training and nutrition point of view?ĪS – Comrades training and training for any run is specific for the individual. I also have dreams and goals to Run various marathons around the world. Long term, I am aiming to complete 10 Comrades Marathons (time goals have been set for both the up and the down runs), to obtain my permanent number. After running my first Comrades Marathon at 27, I decided that my next goal was to achieve my back-to-back medal. First, my goal was to run the Comrades Marathon before the age of 30. When I returned to South Africa at the end of 2012, I put on my running shoes and never looked back.ĮKL – As a runner what is your ultimate goal, and do you prefer road or trail running ?ĪS – There is no ultimate goal.

I understood that running was a privilege, a freedom. This was incredibly tough for me, but it was a beautiful lesson in itself. Unfortunately, I only managed a few runs while away and was unable to carry out consistent training. I started training a week later, and so began my journey of finding “me”.ĪS – Dischem 1/2 Marathon 2012 was run in January, I entered a few more events over the next few months before moving to Europe for the remainder of the year. It was scheduled to take place 7 weeks from that discussion. On a business trip to CPT in the November of 2011, I sat next to a runner, he recommended that I enter my first 21km, the Dischem 1/2 Marathon 2012. Not situations that could possibly happen to a friend or family member, let alone yourself. Both situations were those that you “hear” about. I went through devastating relationship circumstances and found myself as a victim of impersonation.
