Comrades Marathon water stations and nutrition - a podcast by TalkFEED

Welcome back to Ask Coach Parry, today we talk Comrades Marathon. We are combining 2 very similar questions from Johan Nel, and also from Peter de Wit who is coming out from Australia to run the Comrades Marathon this year. Peter has a slight difference in his question though.
