Three weeks out from race day, it’s time to get specific. In this episode, Jamie & Ntutu break down the Two Oceans Half Marathon route, highlight the key climbs that will shape your race, and explain how to pace the course smartly from start to finish.

They cover what to expect at the start, how batch seeding works, why this is not a race to run by even pace, and how to adjust your effort on the climbs, flats, and downhills. They also explain how Coach Parry's pacing charts work and why using official route markers matters more than relying on your GPS watch alone.

Whether you’re chasing a PB, aiming to break a milestone, or just want to enjoy your best Two Oceans experience, this episode will help you head into race day with a clear plan.
