Please can we get a link to the strength program?

Where is the strength training link that is spoke around 5 minutes in the video

The Comrades Roadmap website layout produces many errors. Unable to access it in a meaningful manner.

Thanks for the advice. Like @McNortier asked above, would cycling be considered some form of strength training?

Does cycling count as strength training?

Schalk is a damn good runner. We've done a couple of racer together (Cape Town 2023, Priates 21)... well, "together" meaning we both ran the same race, I guess. Loving his journey. See you at Comrades next year, Schalk!

In 2023 I ran my first Comrades marathon(Down Run), and it shattered me, finished at 08h 01min. This year did my back-to-back Comrades(Up Run). I followed Coach Perry's Silver medal program having qualified with a 2h 58min marathon. I followed the program from first week of January until a week before Comrades, I milked the program bare and listened to the weekly videos with curiosity and enthusiam. I ran a 7h 16min Comrades. The first half at 3h 40min and the second half at 3h 36min, negative splitting it! I met Lindsey at the expo the day before the race and he reminded me to pace smart and to keep the ego in check. The last 25km were brutal, but I grinded them out 1km at a time. Brad and Lindsey know their business, I avow to that. Cheers to another silver medal in 2025🎉 Thank you Brad, Lindsey and the Team.

"Panic" is an understatement.

I finished my first comrades in June (2024), clocking 10h:53min. It was gruelling and at time brutal. My hamstrings almost 'packed up' on Bother's hill after just 38km or so. However it was all to do with me joining a faster running group... I had used Coach Perry's training plans and tips. They do work really well and you will def be ready for comrades barring any injuries. Thank coach Parry and team for everything! Your tips and insights are always spot on.

I followed coach Parry's training for 2024 up run and I got my medal. It was my first comrade. His training method is amazing and 2025 will be my back to back. Thank you coach

2:39 The devil lies in the training. Just an input from 01 time Comrade runner, i could only train 600 km before the race in 2024. I targeted a finish within 12 hours and i succeeded. Keep faith in your self and dont get injured. Mr Parry is excellent coach keep listening to him and grab the things from his channel that suit you.

any chance that there can be something for Oceans?

Theres a group here in CT doing 72k runs before Comrades

Missed these Monday videos! Was so cool having them to keep me company on my first comrades journey this year. Onward and "downwards"!

I am living near Los Angeles (USA) and so the list of Comrades Qualifying Marathons is not near me. This year I did a 4h14 marathon so I am confident to qualify.

Hi Coach ..I last ran the Soweto marathon back in 2008, and I remember there was a tent or a few that were reserved for people travelling from outside Soweto..is this still the case? The first year I had run the race was in 2006 and I was late getting to the start line so the next 2 years I used this free accommodation..not sure if it's still there though after all these years..Thanks🙂

Coming in from Durban, this is all helpful! Thank you

Oh my goodness! GREAT STUFF!

Now THIS IS SUPER helpful!!! Sheesh where have I been? Thank you so much guys… will subscribe and follow from now on… see you in Soweto!

All the questions I needed answered 🙌🏾!

Thank you guys for this!

Sounds like a difficult race.

Thanks coach, thanks so much for the invaluable information and guidance. I was hoping to use my Berlin marathon as qualifier but will see how I feel & run at jacaranda. Giving the CT races a miss time round, think running two oceans & comrades is tricky. (Like coach said lol)

Hi Couch Parry , am racing my 1st Soweto Marathon

Is this Lindsay's second channel?

Love the bucket hats❤❤

Second 😅

Apparently,the marathon route has not changed much but the last 1k or 2 to lead us to the finish, m I right?

These are tips for social runners, especially when you are talking about walk and run. Can you provide tips for the elite, especially for marathon?

Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you for the tips 🙏🏻 Do you know the total elevation gain for each race?

Thanks for this gents💪

Route change 😮

🎉🎉🎉First...

Well done Coach Perry and Team🎉it was great seeing both Brad and Coach Perry on race day🎉🎉🎉it's awesome having you guys part of what we are doing and not just being talkers and offering guidance, but actually suffering with us in the sun and wind😂

Agree with everyone, the ladies at the CPT expo were amazing. I hope they told you that a bunch of us asked for a pacing bracelet for Soweto half marathon. Please!!!!!!

Visited you guys at the expo. It was amazing. And Nikita and your team was just very welcoming. Thanks for all the advice.

Congratulations to the CP team for your achievements 🎉

Congratulations Brad 🥇👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Must compliment you team at expo. Excellent 👍

Used my pacing bracelet but didn't qualify but advise I got was it was to soon. Thanks Brendan for advise given Appreciate it

Used my pacing band and ran well🎉

Me too!!!

Yes!!!! Got my comrades qualifier !!!!!!🎉

I watched this and still made the mistake 😅

May you please cover races too i.e Soweto and Om Die Dam etc.

Most of our races during 2024 in the Western Cape has been inaccurate and nothing to do with our GPS watches!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ran up Government Ave on Saturday - its not steep at all, beautiful and provides cool cover. If they keep this in the race going forward it may take over the Common as a prime spectator spot!

It's going to be a cool and rainy marathon day.
