Comrades Race Plan

Спорт

In this video I talk about my Comrades race day plan. I break the route down into 10km segments and focus only on the next 10km segment. I have a plan A, B, C and Z. Plan A is my target plan. Plan B is my fallback plan in case something small happens. Plan C is the finishers plan - finish just under 12:00:00. Plan Z is a temporary plan in case of disaster - this plan takes you as slow as possible to beat the cutoff points, until you are ready to go back to plan A, B, or C.
The maps and times I talk about in the video can be found here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

    Hi there, great video. My only recommendation to everyone is to please remember(batch dependent) to add +- 1KM to your total race mileage when doing your calculations. You will never run the exact route distance and in my experience I'm always a little more than 1KM over(G Batch Runner).

    Thank you! Love the idea. Maybe add 2km as very few of us start on the start line.

    Hey. I did my debut comrades this year. Finished 9:50 with the prestigious Robert Mtshali medal. I watched all your videos. Found them very helpful. I even carried the pace plan for every 10 km section as small index cards with me. I was able to execute a perfect race plan! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    This is very helpful, thank you so much. With my injury at least I know how I can manage my race.

    I hope your injury recovers in time! Give it a good rest and see a physiotherapist if you can. All the best!

    Wow; this is excellent, I will definitely be using this; do you by any chance have the elevation difference every 333 meters or 1 km, so it can be input into the excel cells and with conditional formatting the cell colours can be automatically coloured say from green to red. (instead of manual as you have done)

    Hi. Thank you for the kind words. You can export from Plotaroute to a GPX file. From here you can get the altitude and use formulas to get the distance between GPS points. The Plotaroute map of the 2024 up-run is available here: www.plotaroute.com/route/2374494. To get the data point for every 333.33m will take some VLOOKUP XLS skills. 🙂
