Well done for the first Comrades. I did my first one too. I was really disciplined, held back on the climbs and just let the downhills take me. I was struggling after 30k and just got worse later but managed to tune it out. I was drinking and eating regularly as planned so I still had power left to sprint at the end. It was a fantastic experience. I have to do this again... :) I had a blast.

I finished a few minutes behind you, the heat of the last 25km nearly got me and the last two or three hills into Durban were a real sting in the tail. I'm very proud of my Bill Rowan medal and all the support really made a difference and got me to the finish. I'm sure I'll be back next year for my back to back medal. It is an amazing event and I've experienced nothing like it before.

Congrats! I did my 11th Comrades this year ,after 9 years break from Comrades. 2014 I got my green number. My Comrades was different this year. I did 2 marathons and 1 Ultra (56km) . I only did about 1000km for Comrades. The last 28km ,I were walking a lot, because I knew I will finish in time, before the 12 hour cut off. It was a honor to ran in my green number. I hope you will also reach that milestone. I'm still resting. Only did 2 parkruns .

Wow! Champion. All because a guy decided to go for a run one day. Isn't it amazing, the people we meet, the places we go and experiences we have because we went for a run? I've joined a gym and train at night, it's too busy during the day, you'll never get a machine, and jogging there and back in the dark makes it feel like a dream the next day. You think; "what happened last night? Did I dream a gym session? Nope. I'm sore. That happened. Weird foggy memories."

Thanks very much. And congrats on your run. That's an amazing time for a first run. The Saucony Elite ran really well but now having run the race I can see there are a lot of shoes that'd do the job nicely and the Rocket X2 included. I'm really tempted for the back to back.

@@Manvmiles Yes just saw your other video on the Saucony elites and it’s really so true on what you said about variety of shoe and not needing to be top range or even carbon. Just as long it’s comfortable and breathable gets the job done. I mean back to back is a must for us novices ☺️ more pain double the prize 🏅 🏅 and it’s possibly an up run 🏃🏼‍♂️ which makes it official back to back 😅

Just curious to know why you have so many watches on. Well done, 8:48!

I was testing them for a video. Comparing Garmin Fenix 7 Pro and Enduro with Apple Watch Ultra.

well done, great video as per, looks awesome energy/atmosphere but incredibly tough too as you say. What could be your next challenge, if you're a glutton for punishment? 😃

Thanks Sam. Not sure what’s next. Might go back to my solo track 24 hour plan.

Nicely put together. But did you run with 3 watches?

Thanks. I did. I test watches for my day job so I was testing these . But they were covered at all times and I ran entirely on feel.

What can you start first but finish last or start last and finish first? Sounds like a road race but that's way too simple...

Can I just walk to finish? I guess it should be allowed.
