Comrades Supplement Comrades Training and Info Guide, January 2014 | Page 13

on’ts! ’s & D Do DO • • • Preparation is the most important facet of a good Comrades run, so make sure your training is consistent and thorough by following these guidelines for the next few months, brought to you by 41-time Comrades finisher - • Set your total January to May mileage, and be guided by your level of talent, the time you have to train, and your Comrades finishing time goal. Make sure you fit your training programme in with your schedule. If there are important birthdays or weddings in the next few months, you’ll have to reshape your programme accordingly. Plan when you’re going to eat or drink on route, and practise your strategy in long runs and qualifiers. Learn to listen to your body when it needs a kick. Once you know what foods you respond well to, then you won’t be as paranoid at Comrades. Sort out your Comrades weekend accommodation well in advance. You don’t want to stress about that close to race day! DON’T • • • • Barry Holland. Don’t alter your eating habits just before, or worse, during Comrades. If you want to carbo-load, or try out a new gel or snack bar, then try it in a few races months before the big day, so you know how your body will react. Similarly, don’t wear brand new kit or shoes on race day, because they may cause chafing or blisters. Make sure you’re comfortable with your kit in training. Don ’t decide before race day that you suddenly need a rubdown for the first time. Only get an Expo massage if your body is used to it, or else you may line up on 1 June with tender muscles. Most importantly, don’t overdo your training or force the mileage when you are tired or injured. The experts all agree that it is better to go into Comrades slightly undertrained rather than overtrained.
