12-week Training plan: Comrades Marathon – Robert Mtshali Medal
This program is designed for runners aiming to finish the Comrades marathon between 9 and 10 hours (an average pace of 6:04 – 6:44/km for 89km).
Rest days are an important part of the process. Taking an additional day off running when you feel fatigued is no bad thing and will help you in the long term.
Remember: This program is a GUIDELINE and can be altered to fit your lifestyle and level of fitness. We encourage you to learn more about yourself and understand the purpose of different workouts so that you can design your OWN training routine.
