Down - A Comrades Marathon Podcast

After 17 years away from running Comrades, Lindsey returned with a conservative race plan, serious strength training, smart pacing… and still had to battle brutal hills, blazing heat, cramping calves, and the mental chaos of Poly Shortts.

In this episode, we unpack his full race debrief: what worked, what nearly ruined the day, why strength training changed his recovery, how he ran a negative split, and the biggest lessons every Comrades runner needs to hear before the historic 100th edition.

Whether you finished, didn’t finish, or are already dreaming of Comrades 2027... this one is packed with powerful lessons, honest mistakes, and the kind of inspiration only Comrades can deliver.
