RuNyanga 100 Miler
The big daddy of the weekend - the RuNyanga Miler! You’re looking at 1.5 to 2 nights of sleep deprivation with this high altitude race which brings many tricky variables to the table. Running along the hills in a country like this will be such a treat, but come in prepared to enjoy the experience.
The course runs between 1,360m to 2,569m above sea level and the high altitude will inevitably take a toll and make running in Joburg seem like a breeze. You’ll need to train smart with this one and that’s where we come in with our 16-week 100 Miler program. Along with the actual running training, we discuss everything from altitude acclimatisation to hydration tactics to drop bag and race pack advice.
Our structured coaching plan comprises BASE, BUILD, PEAK and TAPER blocks, with sufficient rest and recovery built in to avoid injury. We've included speed work to build your aerobic engine, uphill repeats to tackle the 6,100m D+ this race brings which include downhill bursts too. It’s about conditioning the legs not just to handle the long uphill sections, but also to enable them to handle the quad busting descents along the course.
We also have a dedicated race group for any tips, tricks and ideas you and your fellow runners may have along with almost daily tidbits of information and advice we’ve gained from 33+ years of running experience.
Your coaches are always online, ready to answer any questions you have, and aim to have you physically peaking going into the race. Come train with us and let’s smash Zimbabwe’s first 100 Miler together!
