Conclusion & learnings
I was privileged this week to talk to a guy who has previously run the comrades. I mentioned my goals to him and he advised to me was to focus on time, not distance and also to run at 80% capacity. So let's say I can push myself 1KM to a breaking point, I should only then run 0.8KM or if I have the capacity to run for 10min, I should only run for 8min. He says that running 80% capacity reduces injuries and also prolongs the years a person can run for. Very interesting and advice from a man who clearly knows what he is doing, I will take it to heart.
I look forward to hearing about your progress. Please feel free to share your journey here.
