    In this episode, Brad chats to Koula Budler, a former 5FM and Top Billing presenter, now living in Texas, running a home bakery, juggling four kids, and training for her 8th Comrades as she chases that long-dreamed-of green number before 50.

    She shares what it’s really like to train for Comrades with zero family support nearby, crazy early-morning treadmill sessions, the massive gap in female participation, and why South African runners have no idea how lucky they are with races, clubs and community.

    He started running in his mid-50s… and ran Comrades at 70. Barefoot.
    In this episode, Brad chats to Dr. Sidy– a retired French diplomat turned barefoot ultra runner who has:
    - Run 500+ marathons and ultras
    - Raced on every continent
    - Finished his 4th Comrades just after turning 70

    He shares how a joke at the Chicago Marathon changed his life, why he believes every human should run Comrades at least once, and how he’s still running 600km+ a month in his 70s without falling apart.

    Back-to-back Comrades finisher, SA marathon champ, and trail-running icon Landie Greyling joins Brad to unpack the leap from mountains to 90 km of tar. She shares the exact switches that build road speed, how she juggles training with motherhood, and why the up-and-down runs feel like two different sports.

    We talk pacing vs. terrain flow, strength work after 40, crowd energy, shoe choices, and whether a Comrades gold is on the cards for 2026.
