She says she’s 40 years old, she weights 50kg and her heart rate is regularly high when compared to other runners. Her resting heart rate is between 50-60 beats per minute. But when she runs she’s averaging between 160 and 190 with her maximum heart rate peaking at about 200 beats per minute, during last weekend’s 10km that she did up in Gauteng. She doesn’t feel faint or tired or disorientated or in any pain. She just wants to know, should she be concerned?

He says he thinks he bombed out and he puts in brackets ‘I think’ because he didn’t eat properly before. He ate almost nothing during the race and it was probably combined with a bad day. I think those two questions are quite linked, what’s the story with nutrition and why do people get sick at Comrades on race day?

Another question in from Jerome Reed, he said he’s looking for an Up run calculator to work out splits at certain distances, he said not the ones you buy at the Expo as those don’t take into account that you tire and your pace slows.

He's now just looking for a finish. So, he's probably go off a lot slower than the rest of the guys who will be starting in that C seeding batch. He said, am I not going to deliberately get in the way if he starts toward the front but is it a possibility that he could, if he does start in the front because he's going to be going a lot slower?

Equally, he doesn't want to start at the back of the group if he's going to lose vital minutes that he'll need later. So, his question is this, how much time is he going to lose by starting at the back of Group C to be out of the way rather than towards the front and the wider question for everyone else's benefit is, how much time out of the 12 hours do you lose by starting in each of the seeding batches?

They ultrasounded the entire leg and found no sign of injury or scarring. She’s had her feet checked and is in orthotics for pronating and medial arch issue. This has also helped the leg slightly, though it is still niggling. She’s doing strengthening exercises as well. She’s also dusted off her bike and wants to start cycling to see if this will help, however, any advice regarding injury and how much cycling would she need to do to maintain a suitable level of fitness to run the Comrades Marathon, she’s aiming for a sub 12. She’s not keen on medication but would it be advisable to take anti-inflammatories to try and get the issue under control or should - in general - these be avoided. She’s worried that if she takes anti-inflammatories she won’t be able to judge if her exercise is too intense and thereby causing further injury.

He is concerned that it could seriously hamper his chances of finishing his first Comrades Marathon. A friend of his suggested that he use motion sickness tablets as it worked for him.

He also ran the Pick n Pay in 4.40 and the City to City in 5.35 and he had a good deal of injury time in March and April. He had a few injuries after the Comrades Marathon, so he started this years preparation in poor condition.

For 2015 he is following your bronze programme religously. He qualified at the gift of the givers with a time of 4.31 and a better time was honestly not possible. Johnson Crane half was done in 2.02, and he also pretty much did that flat out.

After listening to podcasts and the all the things that you said at the road shows, the above makes bronze unlikely because Gift of the Givers and Johnson Crane are rather flat and the Comrades Marathon not so much. So this is what he is asking:

She wanted to know how long should she recover for after running a marathon or ultra marathon to prevent injury. She is just concerned that if she takes too long off she is going to lose out on training for a race like Two Oceans or the Comrades Marathon if she has run a marathon before that.

She is also concerned that her ITB might flare up again if she runs a 10km+ in the days after a hard marathon. She is currently running between 45 and 50km's a week.

She swore, like every single one of us that she would never run it again, and she is back in 2015. She will be 60 this year. Her marathon time is 4.01 (or 4.10, not sure if there is a typo there). She says she ran 323 km's in January and she is running a marathon this week.

She also cross trains with spinning and swimming. She does hills, but very little speed work. She just can't get quicker.

He used last year to develop a running base and now he is following your Bill Rowan training programme and is comfortable with the paces. His recent times were as follows; he ran a sub 21 on a flat 5km route, sub 36 on a hilly 8km route, his 15km time is 1’14.

His half marathon time is 1’47 at the Kearsney race which is very very hilly. For the slightly longer runs he feels that he is running within himself and could have gone faster, and he has also done slightly longer training runs at lower intensity.

He feels that he is in pretty good shape for his qualifier. With your training programme, it says that you should be able to run a 3’30 marathon. His question is should he aim to run a 3’30 in February or should he take it a bit more comfortable and run a sub 4, although he feels like he is in shape to run a 3’30.

He is just a bit concerned about his pacing and how he should be running his qualifier. The wise bit of the question here: he says he doesn’t want to over exert himself and risk injury for the bulk of his training in March and April.

Regardless, there were no major injuries or stresses during training or in the race. Since then she has moved to New Zealand and she is still hoping to come back for the 2015 Comrades Marathon. There is a new policy, and with this new policy you have to qualify in a marathon between Comrades Marathon races.

Your Comrades Marathon does not count as your qualifier anymore, which means she has to run a marathon in New Zealand. There aren’t too many marathons to chose from but she is looking at one called The Baileys Mountain to Surf.

The only problem is that it is a net downhill marathon, with a 460 meters descending in total. Only 2 nasty short hills at the end. Researching the race indicates that majority of people get pb’s on the route because of that gradient.

Considering that the Comrades Marathon 2015 is an up run, will running a predominantly downhill marathon of this nature 12 weeks before race day affect her training and legs drastically to the point where it might affect her Comrades Marathon.

Or should she rather give that one a miss and find a flatter or uphill marathon to use as her qualifier?

He was looking to buy a new pair – not because he felt like he needed them (in fact he still quite liked them)but because the glue on the sole of his shoe was coming off.

Lauren says she is on a 10 week training programme for a half marathon that will take place in February. Relatively new to running, but would like to know if a weekend hike, which is approximately 45km’s over 3 days at altitude, would that count for a 13km long run.

Does she a) compensate for it by adding distance to her shorter runs during the week before the hike, b) try and replace one of her shorter runs with distance a day before the hike or c) try and replace one of her shorter runs with distance the day after the hike, or d) does she just write off the run completely, carry on and just follow the schedule?

She knows that usually it would be best to write the entire week off and repeat it the week after the hike, but this is not an option as she is aiming to run a specific race.

He is guessing that he will finish the Comrades Marathon somewhere between 10.30 hours and 12 hours. He is doing roughly 60km’s a week right now and wants to do the Two Oceans as a training run.

But he has to do a marathon before to qualify for the Comrades Marathon. Based on what he is doing for the long races in Cape Town he was thinking of the bay to bay 30km and Redhill 36km and so on.

She says that she is 52 years old and just started running 6 months ago. She is training 4 days a week, and her current 5km pb is 23.50, and for 10km it is 49.50.

She is aiming to train on 5km’s and 10km’s this year, then next year move up to half marathons, in 2016 she wants to move up to marathons and in 2017 for her 55th birthday she wants to do the Comrades Marathon. She knows she is doing a very slow and steady build up but she doesn’t want to injure herself.

She knows with her current timings she could do a bronze Comrades Marathon if she keeps up all her training. But her big question is do you think she could try for a Bill Rowan Comrades Marathon medal?

In 2013 she gave birth to a baby girl. She has entered the Comrades Marathon again in 2015. She is scared that she may not make it like in 2012.

She wants to know what advice you can give her with regards to how to train and maybe training programmes to follow to help her improve on her running?

Before giving birth she ran a 10km in an hour but now it takes an hour 10minutes for her to finish a 10km race. Her best 21km time this year is 2.35.

She is really worried and doesn’t want to give up easily.

We did it for the various medals. Stuart wanted to know if he is targeting a bronze medal (and this applies to any medal anyone is targeting really), does the run/walk strategy for a Comrades Marathon bronze medal apply from the very start of the race?

He wants to know if there is any advice for that? He also wants to know if you have any advice on preferred nutrition when running long?

Lindsey Parry: In terms of helping to protect those ankles from turning, you need to work on your proprioception. If you train in a gym, most gyms have got either stability pads or little hedgehogs or bosu balls.

Take your shoes off and get onto those stability pads and you stand for 30 – 60 seconds on each leg balancing. You will feel that you feel very unstable in the beginning, but the more you do it the more stable those ankles will become.

Lindsey Parry: No it is not true that you HAVE to run a under sub 3 to get a silver at the Comrades Marathon.

But there are very few people who run slower than a 3 hour marathon and go on to get a silver Comrades Marathon medal.

I know we posted that series on the Comrades Marathon page of facebook. There was one guy in particular who did a 3.15 marathon and he ran a silver Comrades Marathon.

Dave says he lives in the UK where it is generally cool and he runs a marathon between 3.25 and 3.35. he ran the Bagan Temple marathon in Burma and really struggled with the heat at 32°C and 70% humidity.

He finished in 4.18. How do conditions for the Comrades Marathon compare, and should he be adjusting his goals for a bronze medal from his previous plan of going for a Bill Rowan?

Lindsey Parry: Hi Dave. A lot of guys from the UK and cooler climates do struggle. We generally don’t tend to have temperatures of 32°C on the day of the Comrades Marathon – although we have had them.

We also tend not to have quite as high humidity at 70%, because we are then in winter. If we raced the Comrades Marathon in summer it would be further north of 32°C and further north of 70% humidity.

He was hesitant at first thinking he would rather take 2 years to prepare for the Comrades Marathon, but since running in a club environment, it seems that he is relatively blessed as far as running ability goes.

He is 51years old, 69kg’s, 5”11 and fairly fit and active overall. He has been consistently running since September 2014 and is now running about 50 – 60km per week 6 to sub 6 minutes per km.

He also cycles 40 – 50 km’s. He missed his planned Monday run this week, had a bad mindset. Also doing club runs on Tuesday’s at 5pm and as a result of missing Monday, he forced himself to run on Tuesday morning, despite his planned 5pm club run as well.

The result of these two runs was am 11.42km morning run and a 10.14 evening run. The morning run went exceptionally well. The evening run was also good, no real exertion and great pacing.

Obviously we are eating and drinking a lot more than normal. What advice would you give to Comrades Marathon runners to stay on the straight and narrow to make sure that they get to January not 10k’s heavier than when they went into December, and that their training is on track?

Lindsey Parry: It is quite difficult for most people to go through December and not put on some weight. You also get the opposite that is true though – you get people that because it is December and they have a lot more free time that they go completely overboard in their training and they end up being way too fit at the start of the year.

They then put themselves into a position, even if they don’t get injured they are probably going to get to the Comrades Marathon very tired. December training is all about being sensible and not skipping too many sessions. You want to aim to train at least 3 – 4 days a week through December.

He wants to know is there a hard and fast rule regarding the amount of calories or carbs one should be replacing on a long run and in say a marathon. For example, how many calories per 8km’s?

Lindsey Parry: There are never hard and fast rules for running, but there certainly are some reasonable guidelines that you can stick to.

When you are doing long distance running – I guess anything over a half marathon we would consider a really long distance – you want to look to be fueling your body with roughly 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour.

Lindsey Parry: Giving a pb is very limiting. Because we don’t know what sort of mileage he’s running those pb’s off, what sort of mileage he is doing for the Comrades Marathon, is he following the Comrades Marathon silver programme, etc.

Assuming that he is getting things right in training, that he is not starting the race from doing too much mileage, that he is not starting the race with an injury – then I can only look at race day strategy.

It happened at the 40km mark in 2014, the 52km mark in 2013 and the 64km mark in 2012. In other words, it seems to be happening earlier in each run. He has been hydrating adequately, but has noticed that the water seems to sit in his stomach and doesn’t get absorbed into his body.

When he does start throwing up, there is a lot of water. This said, he is generally dehydrated at the end as he usually only goes to the loo and has a wee once during the race and then 10 or so hours after the race.

He did not take any anti-inflammatories in the 2014 run. He finished all the runs in around 11:45 and always got to the half way mark in around 5 hours. He runs a marathon in 4 hours. He generally takes 32GI, gels and eats bananas, sandwiches and Christmas cake and potatoes on the run.

“I ran Two Oceans in under 6 hours in 2013 but was plagued with hamstring injuries during the training and injured myself (foot tendon) shortly after, and could not run the Comrades Marathon - probably due to having increased mileage too fast.

I have not run much this year (10-20k's per week max.) but have been building up leg strength and fitness through spinning/cycling and rode the Momentum 947 Cycle Challenge 2014. My question is whether and how I can now build up my running training towards the Comrades Marathon 2015.

Should he still be following the Comrades Marathon bronze training programme just on the faster end of the spectrum? What is your advice?

If he decided to do his qualifier in mid to late March, he wants to know will he have to do more of a slow training run rather than fast qualifier to get a great Comrades Marathon seeding?

He says how fast should he run his Comrades Marathon qualifier? He was thinking of running an easy sub-4 and getting a D seeding which would be fine for his first Comrades Marathon given his lack of preparation time and inexperience at anything over 32 km. What would this translate to on race day?

She has completed one Comrades Marathon before, that was this year and has run a 21 km very comfortably in about 1.55, so she is a decent runner.

So I’ve come to the realisation that I’ve been too dependent on carbohydrates for the past few years to fuel my training runs. My weight remains steady at 72.5 kg’s, yet high for my height. Despite the fact that my weekly mileage has increased since August, from 56 km per week to 80 km per week.”
He suspects that during the majority of his training runs his body was consuming carbohydrates and not properly trained to utilise fat. Hence, he was basically wasting energy carrying dead weight fat, which was slowing him down.
His marathon PB was a 3:08”10 back in 2004, so ten years ago, where he weighed 64kg. It was about 8 kg lighter than he is now. The best he’s been able to do since then was a 3:19 back in 2012.
He’s got a Comrades Marathon PB of 8:52 in 2012 as well. Looking back, he thinks he was eating a lot less carbohydrate, and his body was trained to utilise fat.
Recently he’s cut down on his carbohydrate intake to normal levels, and stopped using energy gels during his training runs, although his weight is slowly decreasing. He’s now down to 70.8. He’s been able to do long runs at a much slower pace.
Is this normal, as he’s training his body to rely more on fats to power his runs, as opposed to carbohydrate? Is his theory sound?

He writes, “Hi, I am a 51 year old runner who has been running for 2 years. I completed my first Two Oceans (5h28) in 2014 and am looking to running my first Comrades in 2015. I have completed 4 marathons with a PB of 3h47.

Looking at your Comrades programmes I find myself somewhere between the Bill Rowan and Bronze programmes i.e. I would expect around a 10hr finish. In terms of following the programmes can I just average out the time and pace requirements between the two programmes?

The bronze seems a little bit too easy and the Bill Rowan a little out of my league?

In all of Lindsey’s Comrades Marathon training programmes he has assumed dates for marathons. I know that he always says that the Comrades programme is interchangeable, so we should just change the times around of long runs or races if needed.

But after the marathons he has scheduled a weeks’ rest. I want to ask what we should do if we are running a qualifier at a different time?

Greg lives in KZN and will be doing the last Comrades Marathon qualifier in 2014, in 5 weeks’ time.

He is following your Bill Rowan Comrades Marathon training programme and wants to know if the marathon is at the end of November and then the rest is for 2 weeks and then minimal mileage for the rest of December before building up in January.

If he needs to run his marathon at the end of October and then rest for 2 weeks, what should he do for the rest of the year?

He doesn’t want to spend 6 weeks with minimal mileage. But he also doesn’t want to ramp up for the last 2 weeks of November and first 2 weeks of December and then drop off again for the last 2 weeks of December.

I listened to one of your podcasts (Couch potato to the Comrades Marathon in 12 months) from last year and found it so motivating and helpful. I’m not quite a couch potato. I have exercised on and off over the years but never managed to stick to much of a routine.

Ever since a tot I have watched the Comrades Marathon with my family and always been along the road side cheering the Comrades Marathon runners on, so it has been my dream to run the Comrades Marathon practically my whole life.

At the age of 35 with a sport junkie Ironman for a husband and 2 boys under 5, I decided to take the plunge and enter for comrades 2015. What have I done????

I have two questions. On the rest days can I do a light spinning class or swim, or do I literally have to do nothing? And secondly, am I too late to start with the free zero to half marathon in 24 weeks programme that you guys did which launched September 1st?

I know how often you have reiterated how important it is to start slowly, but I am worried I'm leaving it a bit too late and I may be a bit too slow considering there are only 9 months left to go.

My half marathon time is now down to 2h03 but I’m battling to just dip under the 2 hour mark - with the 2015 Comrades Marathon being the end goal, should I be focusing on the Comrades Marathon finishers or the bronze Comrades Marathon training programme?

He says he had to pull out of running the 2014 Comrades Marathon due to illness on the road. Listening to their very wise running captain at South Coast Striders, he visited his doctor. After various tests he was diagnosed with a condition called Reactive Hypoclycemia.

What it basically means is that when the average runner uses sugary supplements like gels, that normally have the effect of lifting blood sugar levels and give extra energy, with this condition the body reacts in the complete opposite way.

Sugar intake causes severe drop in blood sugar levels, leaving you fatigued and with no energy. Nausea sets in and you really start to feel sick. The doctor says he is to cut out sugars and rather drink isotonic drinks on race day. He also needs to keep on eating while on the road.

Daan wants to find out if there are any other runners that you know of with the same condition and how they are coping with it?

She started running at the beginning of June this year. She’s been following a run/walk programme and then switched to the Comrades Marathon training programme at the end of July and has been following the programme from that date on.

She also mountain bikes over weekends, she has only done 1 long run so far and that was midway through this month. She says she’s had running shoes fitted properly. Currently running in the Asics Gel Cumulus 15’s, she says this past week she’s been struggling with a sore calf muscle around the outside near the ankle and now her knee (the front area on the opposite leg) is getting sore.

She says she managed 30 minutes today before feeling pain. She has been icing both since the weekend but is concerned that perhaps she needs to adjust the programme and cut back a bit or build up even slower. Can you assist her? She’d really appreciate it. She is hoping to run the 2015 Comrades Marathon.

He says as far as training goes he did about 1050km from January to Comrades Marathon race day. He is 41years old. He says he seems to have made a full recovery; he waited just over 3 weeks after the Comrades Marathon until he ran again. He did run a 5km very slowly –which felt very strange, but it is understandable he supposes.

He has also cycled twice but with no problem and not on consecutive days. He says he set out to do a 10k on the 30th June, but only managed about 7km because it felt like it was a bit too much. He says it feels like he’s not done any running, like he is starting out again and the day after the 7km his legs felt so stiff he felt like a beginner.

For instance, on your programme you might say on a Tuesday run for 60 minutes, on a Thursday run for 70 minutes, on a weekend run for two hours.

What’s the thinking behind having time based Comrades Marathon training programmes as opposed to saying to someone go out and run 10k’s or 12k’s or your long run needs to be 30k’s.

A lot of runners tend to follow a faster Comrades Marathon training programme almost as a safety net for them, to ensure they finish within their time goal.

For example, someone thinking that they will aim for a Comrades Marathon finishers or Vic Clapham medal but to really make sure that they do finish, they follow the bronze medal Comrades Marathon training programme.

Similarly someone may follow the Bill Rowan Comrades Marathon training programme when they are hoping to run a sub 11 hour Comrades Marathon and should be on the bronze programme.

We are just a few days away from Comrades Marathon entries for 2015 opening on 1 September. Lots of people trying to wrap their head around what they need to do to finish the Comrades Marathon and how they can fit training for the Comrades Marathon into their life. Many people have extremely busy lifestyles and Andre is one of them.

He got in touch with us and he said he works long hours, putting in 60 hours a week. He works from 7am to 7pm Monday through Friday. The problem comes in with the midweek long run – the 13 to 15km runs in the week – he wakes up at 4am each morning to go for a run and then gets ready for work which is 45 minutes from home.

His question is as following: if you have a midweek long run of say 15km, can you split it to a 10km in the morning and a 5km at night, or should he keep his runs shorter and introduce another run in the week therefore doing 5 as opposed to 3 or 4 runs like he’s doing now?

I don't know if this is something you'd be able to answer, but if so, your guidance would really be appreciated. I have been running now for 2 years and am planning on doing my first Comrades Marathon next year. I just have one concern though that I'd like to have resolved before entering the Comrades Marathon on 1 September.

The shoe wear on my right shoe is much worse than the left shoe (the left shows no wear while the right shows major wear that appears to be from heel striking) and when I start ramping up the mileage to 50-60km + per week, I get the onset of shin splints only on the right side.

I don't know if it’s to do with one leg being longer/shorter than the other etc. Who can I consult about something like this, ie a biokineticist or a physiotherapist and what kind of shoe would suit me best as on the right side I'm guessing I would need stability while the left is almost perfectly neutral. Thanks in advance.

2014 was Klaus’ second Comrades Marathon after an 11:48 in 2012. For Comrades 2014 Klaus felt well prepared with 900km of training since January, with some decent hill training and a lot of training in the heat (as he currently lives in Central America).

Due to business reasons this time he arrived very late on Friday evening coming from America. He had a 15 hours non-stop transatlantic flight in his legs and a night (Thu-Fri) without sleep. He arrived in South Africa with an 8 hour time difference. He slept reasonably from Friday to Saturday, but Comrades Marathon race night (Saturday) he barely slept at all.

He had a terrible race. Almost from the start he couldn’t take in any liquids or any food. But more importantly, he had to battle with a horrible desire to sleep. His eyes were constantly closing, and he felt as he could sleep immediately on the road while he was running. After 35 km he decided to quit –he said he felt dehydrated, tired and completely exhausted. He almost fell asleep in the rescue bus.

Klaus’ question is as follows: Could the explanation for this be the jet lag? Are there similar experiences with jet lag or do you think it could be something else?

Hi Lindsey, I am aiming for a sub 11 hour Comrades Marathon and I wanted to ask you about walk breaks for a bronze medal runner on the down run. How would you advise we take the regular walk breaks?

Should we be doing it doing it by strictly time, for example walk 1 minute for every 30 minutes you run? If this is the case we may be walking down a hill and running an uphill and vice versa? Is that the correct way to go about it?

Hi Lindsey, I am not on any specific diet, I just just train. Is it wise to start on the Professor Tim Noakes Low Carb High Fat / Banting Diet this close to running the Comrades Marathon?

At this stage I eat anything I want. (bread,meat, milk,eggs,rice,fat etc) and secondly, what must I eat the night before the Comrades and the morning of the race?

If you want to find out more about Low Carb High Fat fueling when running, be sure to listen to this interview with Prof Tim Noakes.

I ran the Old Mutual Two Oceans Ultra over the Easter period. I was comfortable up to the standard marathon mark (42.2km), however from there on suffered massive muscle cramps.

Although I had two massages (46 & 50km mark). It didn't really help, rubbing ice though helped. What is the best way of treating this as the Comrades Marathon is around the corner.

Will breathing through my the mouth help? Should I run slower? Muscle cramp pills? Salt? Please help!
