My year did not start out according to plan, with two DNFs from the two races I had entered. I made it 17km into the Red Hill Classic before the calf niggle, I had been feeling since 12km turned into a torn soleus and resulted in an extremely uncomfortable walk for 2km to the next…
After a year of one injury after another, I eventually managed to run in FHAC colours for the first time in a long-long time. The Cape Peninsula is an unbelievably stunning race that runs through our very own neck of the woods. This run was extra special as it was my only chance to get…
The year has kicked off with a number of official races, however this race (our first experience of the 21.1km) was closer to our heart inspiring us to do a short race report / experience. The many 15km races in the weeks before put us in good stead to take up this half marathon…

After entering, I pieced a training plan together from various sources, working it around races, and then adjusting as I went along. The training was long, and lonely, but I enjoyed ticking off the weeks (ups and downs), building the runs and then before I knew it race week was here. I had never been…
Everyone that knows me, knows that I love Winelands marathon.
