Australia to Comrades - We help Trevor with his Comrades preparations

Loading player...
This week on RUN with CoachParry, we chat to one of our international members of the Online CoachParry Training Club - Trevor Smith. We've been helping Trevor on his road to his back2back Comrades medal and today's episode Markus and Trevor chat a little more detail on a few questions for an athlete training overseas coming to run a race in South Africa. 

Markus and Trevor talk about strength work and how to progress the program specific to Comrades, as well as how to do proper hill training in Australia where they dont have the luxury of hills like we do in SA. As a result much of Trevor's training is done on trail and so Markus guides him how to adjust these runs specific to a road program.
