2022 Comrades Ultra Marathon Race Review
In 2022 I knew I would run a VERY slow Comrades Ultra Marathon, the 8th time I took part in the race.
Why it was such a slow race – you can read all about it here: Why my 2022 Comrades was so hard &slow
Because of that, I took my iPhone with me for the first time and invested time in recording a VLOG of my race.
I hope you enjoy it.
Please excuse the shaking video… I did not have any stabilization equipment with me.
Enjoy

Check out my race review of my 2021 Comrades Ultra Marathon run, supporting the CHOC Cows as always:

Another year (2019) has gone by, filled with
2584 km of running
187 runs
55 gym sessions
The strength training I started in December 2017 became a part of my weekly routine and I believe being able to run in 2019 without any injuries is directly related to that fact. Although I was not as disciplined as last year, and with some long business trips making it hard to find an appropriate gym, the benefits are tangiable. In the meantime I am not working with a strength coach any more – I use 8 different workouts from the program, a ..read more
