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

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.
