    Comrades 2027 is already shaping up to be very different, and getting your entry is only the beginning.

    In this episode, Lindsey and Brad break down what runners need to know about the new entry process, where your training should realistically be right now, and why rushing your qualifier could do more harm than good.

    They also unpack one area many Comrades runners get wrong: fuelling your qualifier like you would fuel Comrades itself.

    Whether you’re chasing your first Comrades medal or coming back for another, this episode will help you make smarter decisions now that could make a huge difference later.

    She finished her first Comrades Marathon down run with just over six minutes to spare.

    But was her race actually well paced, or was she much closer to disaster than the finishing time suggests?

    In this Comrades Race Roast, Lindsey and Brad analyse a novice runner’s training, pacing, heart rate and race-day execution. She completed nearly 800 kilometres in training, ran a 60-kilometre long run and reached halfway in 5:57 while chasing a sub-12-hour finish.

    The data reveals where she got it right, where she took unnecessary risks and why going only a few minutes faster in the first half could have completely changed her result.
