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.
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
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.
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.

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

"Panic" is an understatement.
Theres a group here in CT doing 72k runs before Comrades
any chance that there can be something for Oceans?
