This bumper 150-page, large-format coffee table mag is packed with deep storytelling and wow imagery. For South Africans, by South Africans
It's been a cold, dark few months that probably saw your training and racing ease off for the recovery time you deserved. Now, as the days grow longer and warmer, you need motivation and inspiration to get back out there. We've got that waiting for you — in spades!
The launch of this quarterly edition couldn't be better timed: our cover star, Daniel Claassen, starts the biggest race of his life today — the UTMB 100-miler in Chamonix, France. Dan and his young family were with us at the Seychelles Nature Trail Run a week before he went on to win the MUT 100km in record time. Read his story as you track his progress around mythical Mont Blanc from Friday evening. Go Dan! 🏁
The Spring edition is packed with recovery advice — myth-busting the gadgets and foods that actually help you get back to race shape. Our expert coaches Fred Richardson and Matt Trautman break down VO2 max, how to optimise your number, and how to pace an ultra.
We've teamed up with Running Calendar to help you pick your next target race — from fun weekend trail runs to 21 great half marathons you may not have run yet. Stuart Mann reports on his recent races, plus what's happening with Comrades and KZN athletics after the Carte Blanche fallout.
Our SA travellers share their running adventures from Rome to the Seychelles, Belgium, Franschhoek, St Helena, Harrismith and Slovenia. You have to read George Kusche's deep dive into his record-breaking Comrades run.
All this, plus shoe reviews, new gear, athlete interviews and imagery to get you amped to lace up and head out the door.
All for R90 — about 55c a glossy page to keep you healthy and happy.
