Spring is here in the Southern Hemisphere and in this episode of Up, Brad and Coach Lindsey unpack where Comrades hopefuls should be right now, how to approach Cape Town & Soweto Marathon as qualifiers, and what first-timers (and two-year planners aiming at the 100th Comrades in 2027) should focus on next.

You’ll get clear, practical guidance for September–November: weekly volume targets, sharpening speed with shorter intervals, smart race selection, and why strength training is non-negotiable (hint: most DNFs start the race already injured). We also chat about entry date rumors, qualifying windows, and what to do if you’re not marathon-ready yet—without the panic.
