7 weeks to Two Oceans Ultra and the panic is REAL. In this episode, Devlin & Shona break down the post-marathon recovery rules, the #1 mistake runners make with easy/long runs, how to actually pace intervals (without blowing up), why heart rate can mislead you, and the “secret weapon” run-walk strategy that saves your legs for the second half.
If you’re qualifying (or just did)… this could save your race.

We’re officially 8 weeks out from the Two Oceans Ultra, and at this stage of your build, doing more is not always better.

In this episode of the Constantia Neck Podcast, Shona and Devlin dive into one of the most overlooked performance drivers in ultra training: recovery. Why is it so important right now? What actually happens in the body when you train? And how should you be structuring your weeks to avoid digging yourself into a hole?

They unpack the recovery pyramid, the common mistakes ultra runners make this close to race day, and the simple fundamentals that can dramatically improve how you feel from session to session.

If you want to arrive at the Two Oceans Ultra start line strong, healthy, and ready to perform, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

With nine weeks to the Two Oceans Ultra (56km), Shona Hendricks and Devlin Eyden guide you through exactly what you should be focusing on right now, whether you still need to qualify or you’re already in the “meat” of training.
We cover smart long-run structure, back-to-back weekends, why consistency beats cramming, and the non-negotiable strength work that keeps you running strong on race day.
