Running 44@60 - tips, ideas and advice for your first ultra marathon or marathon
Comrades Marathon with Green Number holder Trevor Nel
The Comrades Marathon is described as 'The Ultimate Human Race'. It is 54 miles between Durban and Pietermaritzburg alternating each year with the Durban start known as the 'Up' version and Pietermaritzburg start known as the 'Down' version.
It is the world's oldest ultramarathon starting with the race won by Bill Rowan in 1921.
In this episode Trevor Nel, who ran Comrades 10 successive times to earn a much prized 'Green Number', talks about and shares the toughness of the race and his own adventures in it.
Trevor's article which appeared on Linked In illustrates how Comrades is a metaphor for life. Trevor also took part in the 120km Dusi Canoe Marathon - which like Comrades runs between Pietermaritzburg and Durban and is the biggest canoeing event on the African continent.
