It’s peak Comrades training season… but are you actually training smart?

In this episode, we break down the biggest mistakes runners make in April, when mileage is high, fatigue is creeping in, and injury risk is at its peak.

We cover:
⚠️ Why intensity could be ruining your training
📉 How to balance mileage without burning out
🏃‍♂️ How to use Two Oceans as the perfect Comrades dress rehearsal
🍌 Exactly how to dial in your race nutrition (45–60g carbs/hour)
🔁 The right way to recover so you don’t sabotage your next 6 weeks

If you're feeling tired, overwhelmed, or unsure if you're doing enough (or too much)… this is a must-watch.
