Training pace, cramping and everything leading to Comrades - We help Peter ahead of his first Comrades Marathon

--:--
On today's episode of RUN with CoachParry we chat to one of our Online Training Platform members Peter Clark in his lead up to his first Comrades. Peter has an awesome story having lost 20kgs and in the process has completed 2 full IronMan and is attempting his first Comrades this year. Lindsey and he discuss all things from how to deal with cramping, how to choose the right Comrades program for your level and why we need to train slower to run faster. If you're running Comrades, there's definitely some value in here for you too!

Brad also shares one of our athlete's Success Stories - Timothy Patterson and how he smashed his marathon in a 3 day event in Bermuda!
