I never thought I would see a South African runner here. I am so stoked. She's going to smash Two Oceans next weekend!!! Love Gerda

[@sweatelite]

She’s not the first South African we’ve had on the channel 🇿🇦 go Gerda!

[@Regimeshifts]

@@sweateliteOh is it, good to know! Love to see my favourite channel feature my faovurite people.

[@paulpublic2435]

When Gerda says "jumped into local races for fun" what she actually means is "I did a marathon where the first 22km was 1:29, and the back 20km was a 1:14“... Never fails to look thrilled. Inspirational.

[@nkululekomyeza306]

By the way she broke the two ocean marathon record.

[@deanemortlock9891]

My fav ❤ she’s so good 🔥

[@sweatelite]

Agreed 🔥

[@dilochetty9332]

In South Africa, if you are a runner, you run comrades.. a marathon is too short 😂.. thats why you find many top marathon runners coming out of Africa, but very few coming out of South Africa.. its about ultras

[@heinkemp3253]

My dad does Marathons and Ultra Marathons per weekend for bout 4 or 5 weeks next day 20 or 30 for training for Comrades

My God. Look at this insanity @26:49. This woman is a beast. And I don't believe high stack carbons are beneficial on uphill's like this... in fact the foam & plate probably works AGAINST forward population on steep uphill's like this.

[@sweatelite]

She's in shape

[@hellboyyyworldwide8395]

YOU LOOK LIKE DEADPOOL

[@EmirBalali]

😅😂thank you soo much! i couldn't stop laughing while watching it after my longrun, pumped with endorphins
