My “Hoekom” vir Comrades 2026 | Week 2 Hardloop & Strength Training

Описание: Week 2 of my Comrades 2026 preparation is all about finding and reaffirming my why. When the body is stiff, motivation is low, and training starts to feel heavy, knowing why you started becomes essential.
In this video, I share an honest look at:
Balancing running and strength training in the early stages of Comrades prep
Returning to structured gym sessions after a break
Easy runs, tempo work, parkrun, and a challenging Sunday long run
Managing fatigue, recovery, and training load as a hybrid athlete
Lessons learned from previous Comrades attempts and why this journey matters
This week wasn’t perfect—but it was real. From sore legs and slower paces to small wins and important reflections, Week 2 is about learning, adjusting, and continuing forward with purpose.
No shortcuts. No rushing the process.
Just consistent work on the road to the Comrades Marathon 2026.
