800m further! How to tackle the 2015 Comrades
--:--
On this edition of the Ask Coach Parry podcast, I’m Brad Brown joined again by Lindsey Parry, the official Comrades Marathon coach. Lindsey, this isn’t a question that’s been submitted, it’s one I thought would be pretty important to chat about right now. The route for the 2015 Comrades Marathon Up run has changed slightly.
There’s been a bit of a detour in Pinetown due to road works on Old Main Road and I wanted to get your take on how that is going to affect your pacing in the first half of this year’s Comrades Marathon. I think it’s about 800m that’s been added to the overall distance. Obviously the halfway point doesn’t actually change from a distance perspective and what should people be aware of for the various medals if they’re chasing silver, Bill Rowan, bronze or a Vic Clapham?
