Slowly building up to the Comrades Marathon to avoid injury. - a podcast by TalkFEED

Welcome to another edition of Ask Coach Parry. Our question today was submitted by Stuart Miles. This is what he said,

“I ran Two Oceans in under 6 hours in 2013 but was plagued with hamstring injuries during the training and injured myself (foot tendon) shortly after, and could not run the Comrades Marathon - probably due to having increased mileage too fast.

I have not run much this year (10-20k's per week max.) but have been building up leg strength and fitness through spinning/cycling and rode the Momentum 947 Cycle Challenge 2014. My question is whether and how I can now build up my running training towards the Comrades Marathon 2015.

Obviously my main concern is to avoid injury and build up mileage as slow as possible. I have run 4 marathons now with a PB of 3h50 for reference.” Read More · Training Programs
