I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 17th of July, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to that very well-known scripture, Philippians 3:12. Paul says: “Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.”My dear wife saw a little writing on a wall in a restroom which said, “Happiness is not the destination. It is part of the journey.” So true! We are so concerned about getting to our destination that we don't enjoy the trip, and that is actually quite sad, isn't it? My late mom always used to say to me, the best part of any holiday for her was the trip, not the destination.How is it with you today? How is it with me today? We need to pace ourselves, enjoy every single moment God has given us, and stop always wishing for something we don't have while forgetting the time we have. I am thinking about with your family. Your children, spend time with them. I know what I am talking about. My family are all grown up, in fact my grandchildren are grown up, I'm a great-grand father and it's happened in the spur of a moment. Do not waste time because you keep on looking at the end of the race and not enjoying the journey. I think of the tortoise and the hare. I know it's laughable but that tortoise just keeps going. He's carrying his house on his back. The hare goes flat out and then stops. The tortoise keeps on going. You and I need to do that. It's like a little Noddy car, it just keeps going down the road and the sports cars cars scream past but they normally stop just up the road and then they go on again and that little Noddy car gets to its destination, sometimes quicker than the sports car.Let us really start to appreciate the time God has given us, and let us make a point of finishing the race. The Comrades Marathon for me, the heroes of the Comrades Marathon, are those guys right at the end just before the gun goes off and the time is up, and the race is over, and they're pulling each across over the finish line. Yes, we appreciate the gold medalists and the silver medalists but the boys and girls, that are really pushing hard, really touched me.So today, remember, it's not the destination, it's the journey with Jesus Christ that you and I have got to spend time on. Have a wonderful day, Jesus bless you and goodbye.
They fire a gun at exactly 12 hours. If you're not across the line by then, it doesn't matter how close you are, your race is over. That's Comrades, and this week we sit down with four-time finisher Steph Donaldson to unpack what actually gets you through 90km of South African road, from fuelling disasters to the strangers who talk you off the ledge in the final 20K. Then Rob Foster debriefs his first-ever triathlon at Challenge Roth in Germany, admitting exactly where his own prep let him down on the run. And Rob Jones brings us inside the Chamonix training camp, on why stripping the pace pressure out of a session makes people run better, not worse. It's a long one, but a good one. Three athletes, three very different days, and the same lesson underneath all of them: showing up matters more than the metrics.
The final episode for seasons 2026. The full panel is back to recap their race day and experiences of the 2026 Comrades Marathon.
Dad, husband and Comrades Marathon runner Jody Taylor and his 3 year old daughter Madison joined Carol Ofori live in studio for a Special Fathers Day on air moment.
The Comrades Marathon is one of the most competitive ultramarathons on the planet.

Desta vez sem convidados, neste episódio cobrimos um conjunto de tópicos do mundo da corrida e do atletismo que nos andavam a fervilhar na cabeça. O Vítor a recuperar de fascite plantar e o Luís a regressar à forma depois de Londres, é o contexto, mas não é o assunto.Começamos pela Comrades Marathon, a clássica ultra sul-africana de 85.8 km que este ano correu no formato uprun, de Durban a Pietermaritzburg, e produziu um novo recorde com 3:41/km de média no masculino e 4:01/km no feminino. A conversa passa pelos Caminhos do Tejo, a ultra de 144 km de Lisboa a Fátima, com a altimetria concentrada no final e uma crescente presença internacional. E depois chegamos ao anúncio que está a dar que falar: a Maratona de Londres vai passar a decorrer em dois dias a partir do próximo ano, com a elite feminina no sábado e a masculina no domingo. No atletismo de pista, o destaque vai para Duplantis a perder uma prova pela primeira vez, para o regresso em força de Pedro Pichardo, e para o exemplo de Hodgkinson ao retirar-se do aquecimento de uma final da Diamond League por sentir um toque. O episódio fecha com o Luís a apresentar uma aplicação que desenvolveu para planeamento de ritmos por quilómetro com base na altimetria e meteorologia de qualquer percurso, disponível em iOS e Android.Recursos- TrueEffort (iOS) - https://apps.apple.com/pt/app/trueeffort/id6762812712- TrueEffort (Android) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trueeffort.androidRecomendações- Knicks 2026 NBA Champions - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITwzTEeiVeA- Rafa - Docu-series (Netflix) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35052852/Parcerias e como ajudarem este projeto

On paper, the Enhanced Games was a massive failure, but was success the real goal or something bigger? Hyper carb fueling strategies are all the rage right now, but is there more to this approach than gut training on race day? The Comrades Marathon produced course records on both the men's and women's side of the event.

Most runners dream of completing one Comrades Marathon. Donovan Shirley decided to run it twice in 24 hours. Donovan Shirley joined East Coast Breakfast to talk about his extraordinary "Get Back Up" challenge, running the Comrades route from Pietermaritzburg to Durban before turning around and joining the official race back to Pietermaritzburg. Donovan shares why the 2026 Comrades theme "Ska Fela Moya" resonates so deeply with him, and how this challenge is about much more than kilometres. Through his run, Donovan is raising awareness and funds for mental health organisations SADAG and Matthew and Me, a non-profit created in memory of Matthew Grant, a teenager who lost his battle with depression. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, men's mental health, purpose, and what it means to get back up when life knocks you down. Webpage

With the Comrades Marathon just days away, many runners unknowingly sabotage months of training during the final week. From panic training and poor sleep to trying new shoes, supplements, and race nutrition, the mistakes made before race day can have a bigger impact than the race itself. On CapeTalk and 702, fitness presenter, endurance athlete, burnout and mental fitness coach Liezel van der Westhuizen joins Africa Melane to discuss the biggest Comrades Week pitfalls and how runners can arrive at the start line physically fresh and mentally prepared. Drawing on her experience as an endurance athlete and her years commentating from both the Comrades Marathon start and finish lines, Liezel shares practical advice on avoiding comparison, managing race anxiety, navigating the Expo wisely, and getting carbohydrate loading right. If you are running Comrades or supporting someone who is, this conversation could be the difference between surviving race day and thriving on it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Making A Runner, Nic sits down with one of the most exciting emerging names in South African endurance running — George Kusche.From competing as an NCAA middle-distance athlete in the United States while studying actuarial science and statistics, to stepping away from running completely for a period of time, George's journey through the sport has been anything but conventional.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name!It is Thursday morning, the 7th of May, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Proverbs 6:10-11: ”A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep—So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, …” Then we go to the New Testament to 1 Corinthians 15:58: ”Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” It's so important for us, as believers, to keep up the good work. It keeps the soul of a man or woman in good health. We're talking this morning about spiritual exercise. We need to keep spiritually fit. Bishop Ryle said, ”Activity in doing good is one recipe for being cheerful Christians. It is like exercise to the body and it keeps the soul in good health.”Did you get up early this morning? I trained many, many years ago for the Comrades Marathon, which is held in South Africa every year. It is a gruelling race - two standard marathons plus a few extra kilometres thrown in, but these serious competitors are extremely disciplined. They get up in the morning and they run. They run with lights before the sun comes up. Some of them run in the afternoon or even in the evening but they are disciplined because they know, if they are going to get that medal, whichever medal it might be, they have to be fit.I want to say to you today, spiritually, you and I need to be fit! We need to get up, get out of our beds, go through and have our quiet time with the Lord, read the Bible systematically. We need to pray, read a nice devotional, listen to Christian music, and, most of all, speak to Jesus. When you do that regularly, you get stronger and stronger daily, even as you grow older, not weaker, stronger in the faith.Let's do it today. Let's discipline ourselves physically, but more importantly, spiritually, so that God can talk to us!Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day. Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 31st of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in Philippians 3:12: “Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.” What a beautiful scripture! Then the next one just to confirm it, is found in the Book of Hebrews 12:1: “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,…”Oh my dear friend, there is no stopping now, no ways! There is no resting, but rather we are pressing on towards our eternal home in Heaven. You say I cannot take it anymore. The road is too hard, it is too steep, it is too narrow, it is too stony. Keep on keeping on. Do not allow any distractions to hold you back. I am thinking of the mighty Comrades Marathon - 90 odd kilometres. When you're tired, and the heat is bearing down on you and those hills are looking absolutely impossible to run over, you say to yourself, “I can't anymore”. And then what happens? A courtesy vehicle rides up, and lovely coffee, the door opens and the people inside say, ‘Look, you are looking very tired. Don't you want to stop?” But you know what happens, when you step into that vehicle, they take the number off your chest and you are disqualified. The race is over for you. Do not stop. Do not let that vehicle tempt you to throw in the towel. Then you carry on, and you carry on, and then all of a sudden you come up next to a beautiful shady tree on the side of the road, and you feel, “If I just sit down for a minute and have a rest I'll be fine.” Don't do it because you will never get up again. Keep on running the race which the Lord is running with you. You are not running on your own. Keep your eye on the finish line and never look back and I want to tell you, you will make it to the end. There is a cloud of witnesses waiting for you at the finish line, all your loved ones who have gone before you. They are clapping. Keep running, you are nearly there, and the worst thing of course is to look behind you. When you look behind you, you normally don't finish the race. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and He will see you through.Have a wonderful day, keep running the race and remember if Christ is for you, there is no man who will stand against you. Jesus bless you and goodbye.
"There was a lot of throwing up going up that river and no one would give anyone a ride. I've learned that the hard way." Ann Trason is widely regarded as one of the greatest ultrarunners of all time. A 14-time champion of the Western States 100, she dominated the sport throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, redefining what was possible for women in endurance running. She's also a two-time winner of South Africa's legendary Comrades Marathon and a former world record holder at 50 miles and 100 kilometers. Known for her fierce competitiveness, quiet humility, and relentless work ethic, Ann didn't just win races—she changed the standard for excellence in ultrarunning. Today, her legacy continues to inspire generations of trail and ultra-athletes around the world. In this special episode, Luis sits down with Ann in person and chats about all things running.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 17th of February, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Numbers 9:23: ”At the commandment of the Lord they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the Lord they journeyed…” Then we go to the Gospel of Mark 6:31: ”And He said to them ”Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.” I think the Lord is speaking to somebody very specifically today and saying, ”It is time to come aside and rest. You don't even have time to eat.”Timing is so very important in life. There's a time that you must work, and you must work very hard, and there's a time that you must rest, and you must rest correctly. The children of Israel in the wilderness were told by the Lord, you see, when the cloud moved, they packed up all their tents and they followed the cloud. When the cloud stopped, they stopped, and they set up camp. This happened night and day. Remember a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day, and that is how they lived for forty years.Now I want to tell you about South Africa's all-time champion marathon runner, Bruce Fordyce. Bruce Fordyce won the gruelling Comrades Marathon no less than nine times consecutively, and why was that? It was all because of timing. I used to love watching him on television, when they all started, all the youngsters were sprinting out of the blocks as they say, and Bruce Fordyce was nowhere to be seen, and then slowly but surely, as the race carried on the young men started falling out, one after the other. I always remember Bruce Fordyce running at his own speed and looking at his watch. He was running according to his time, not according to what everybody else was doing, and he paced himself so perfectly that he won that race consistently.Now we need to take a leaf out of his book. If you and I are going to finish strong for the Lord Jesus Christ, we really need to be sure that we are resting and that we are working, but we need to do it God's way.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.
Send us a textI'm really excited to bring you this episode's guest. When I began ultramarathoning several decades ago, the only way I could learn about races and people in that space was through a black-and-white magazine delivered to my mailbox called Ultrarunning. It had pages and pages of mundane rows of race results that still held fascination for me. Plus stories about races in exotic-sounding places like Auburn, Calif. and where I first heard about this crazy race called the Barkley Marathons that at that time no one had ever finished, and long before Netflix, no one else but me and a few others had heard of. I also read about people who became my first idols in the sport like Marshall Ulrich and Roy Pirrung, who I've had the great honor to chat with both on this podcast and in-person. But one who absolutely left me in awe who I never got to meet was Ann Trason, who I got to see – briefly – when she zoomed past me on Hope Pass in the Leadville Trail 100 in the 90s. Ann won the Western States 100 a mind-boggling 14 times, twice less than two weeks after winning the Comrades Marathon in South Africa. Western States is considered the most prestigious 100-miler in the US, and Ann, who in 1994 set a course record of 17:37:51, now lives close to the 99-mile mark of the course. Comrades is the oldest ultramarathon in the world, having begun right after WW1, and is roughly 55 miles, and is so esteemed that the entire country basically shuts down to watch it. Very few Americans have ever won it. Ann set the Leadville course record of 18:06:24 in 1994 that was only broken this past year by Anne Flower. She finished second, not just among women, but overall. In 1996, she not only completed the Grand Slam of 100-milers – Western States, Leadville, Vermont, and Wasatch Front – but she won them all. Ann set 20 world records, including for 50 miles in 5:40:18 and 100K in 7:00:47. All the way back in 1987, Ann became a Nike-sponsored athlete when women's sports hadn't taken hold like they have today, and ultramarathoning hadn't achieved any of the attention and popularity it now has. Ann retired from ultramarathoning in the 2000s due to injuries and the onset of rheumatoid arthritis, which has ravaged her body. As a result of her many accomplishments, as well as her continuing contributions to the sport as a race director, coach, writer, supporter, and much more, she was inducted into the Ultrarunning Hall of Fame in 2020. After a long time out of the spotlight, Ann arrived at an Arizona race called Across the Years, which begins three days before New Year's and finishes three days after it, just wanting to engage with the ultrarunning community in her joyous way, and push her walker – with all of its lights and decorations – for some laps around the 1.41-mile looped course. I have spoken with several people who told me how delighted they were to get to chat with Ann out there, and in the end, one of the event's highlights was when she completed 100 miles and earned a buckle – all while pushing that walker. With such a long, colorful career, you can imagine that Ann and I cover a lot of ground in this very fun chat, including her talking with Nelson Mandela after she won Comrades, swapping hats with the Jester, the Grateful Dead, being vegetarian and a race director, including the best way to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at races, long-lost Nike shoe models, the fun of reading that old Ultrarunning magazine, her inspirations in the sport and those who have followed her, her relationship with her parents, and about the joy and gratitude she has for life and the running community.Ann TrasonInstagram @ann_trasonBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman
Anjali Saraogi hasbeen an ultra runner. She started running in her early 40s and pretty quickly discovered a love and talent for running far, and running fast. She ran the Comrades Marathon in 2017, in a time of 8 hours, 38 minutes: a huge accomplishment and at the time, it was the fastest time run by an Indian woman at that race. Anjali then went on to solidify her place as one of India's best ultra runners, and she is a pioneer in the sport in her country; distance running, as Anjali talks about in her story, is relatively new in India. So not only was Anjali a role model for what's possible as an older woman, having begun competitive sports in her 40s, she became a role model for what's possible for women, period. Anjali has represented India in international championship races, including the 100k world championships and 100k Asia and Oceania championships, which you'll hear about in her story. But with the onset of health issues around menopause, Anjali had to give up running competitively and then altogether. Now, she's back. And she shares the whole story here. It's a story that's rooted in one constant: Anjali loves to run; it's a feeling she's has had since the beginning of her running journey, and it continues to this day.How to Keep Up with Anjali SaraogiOn Instagram: @runjali1973Anjali Saraogi's Comrades episode: womensrunningstories.com/anjali-saraogi-the-comrades-marathon-a-first-timers-journeyTo support WRS, please rate and review the showiTunes/Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/womens-running-stories/id1495427631Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4F8Hr2RysbV4fdwNhiMAXc?si=1c5e18155b4b44faMusic CreditsCormac O'Regan, of PlaytohComa-Media, via PixabayCamila_Noir, via PixabayMusic of the Future, via Pixabaychillmore, via Pixabayaidanpinsent, via PixabayRockot, via PixabayWays to Connect and Engage with Women's Running StoriesWRS Instagram: @womensrunningstoriesFacebook: facebook.com/WomensRunningStoriesWebsite: womensrunningstories.com
Lisa Jackson has completed over 100 marathons; she's run the 90km or roughly 56-mile Comrades Marathon; and she's run many other races of various distances, too. She's a well known writer, covering health and running, in addition to being an author; she's also a hypnotherapist. Many people also know Jackson as the "flamingo lady" for wearing her distinctive flamingo hat, and they know her for jubilantly embracing her place at the back of the pack—she has come in last in many races. Over the past several years, Jackson has experienced life-altering challenges: looming large among them is her husband's terminal illness.This is a very sad story. It not only involves the death of her husband, but also her father, as well as the delayed grieving of her mother, who had died tragically many years ago—in addition to other challenges that came along with the cancer journey. And, this is a story about surviving life, and learning to thrive again, in the face of this sadness and processing grief.

Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys talk to Soh Rui Yong on the phone from Tokyo where he set a new Singapore 10,000m national record of 30min 33.29sec on Saturday while running at the Nittaidai Challenge. He first broke the 10,000m record 11.5 years ago by running 31:15. Talking to Singapore’s five-time national marathon champion, Rui Yong, is preparing for an unprecedented test of endurance at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon next weekend. For the first time, the half-marathon and full-marathon will be held on separate days—December 6 and 7—and Rui Yong is going to run both and aims to win both. Fresh off his 2024 national marathon title, Soh is aiming for a historic double victory while keeping his eyes firmly on the 10,000m gold medal at the upcoming SEA Games in Thailand. With the athletics competition scheduled just days after the marathon weekend, his decision raises eyebrows: is this a daring strategy or sheer madness? Rui Yong shares his mindset, training approach, and why this double-up challenge is also a stepping stone toward a future in ultramarathons like South Africa’s Two Oceans (56km) and Comrades Marathon (88km). At 35, he’s redefining what it means to push limits, balancing ambition with resilience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week on the Tough Girl Podcast, I'm joined by Sharon Jessop — an ultra-endurance athlete, conservationist, keynote speaker, and serial entrepreneur whose running adventures are driven by a mission to protect rhinos in Africa. From growing up barefoot in the South African bush to covering over 3,500 miles across some of Africa's wildest landscapes, Sharon has used her extraordinary endurance to raise awareness and funds for rhino conservation. Her journey is as inspiring as it is challenging, blending adventure with purpose. In this episode, Sharon shares how she turned her love of running into a powerful tool for wildlife conservation, the highs and lows of multi-day expeditions, and the unforgettable encounters she's had along the way — from navigating tough terrain to seeing Africa's incredible wildlife up close. We also explore her personal story, the losses that have shaped her, and how she finds motivation and meaning in every mile.

EPISODE 626 - Suzanne Parry - The Soviet Experience Through Historical Fiction, Pentagon Tour, Iron Maiden of StockholmRaised in a quiet rural corner of western New York State, I didn't always want to be a writer. I was, however, always surrounded by books. Bookcases in every room. Entire walls of them. My mother was an avid reader and regular trips to the library were part of my childhood. My stepfather was a creative writing professor and words floated through the rooms and into the nooks and crannies of that pre-Civil War era farmhouse. Books weren't my escape so much as they were part of my daily diet. At twenty I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish and “write a book” was on it. That list included both measurable things like “learn five foreign languages” and “complete a significant athletic achievement” and less quantifiable items like “make the world a better place.” During the Cold War of my high school and college years, I very much wanted to help reduce the possibility of conflict between the US and the USSR.I earned a bachelor's degree at Purdue University, and then continued my Russian studies at the Pushkin Russian Language Institute in Moscow. I studied Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, received a Master's in 1982 and started a career in public service with the US Department of Defense. My work in the Office of the Secretary of Defense focused on European security issues between NATO, Warsaw Pact, and neutral nations. While at the Pentagon I helped negotiate the Conference on Disarmament in Europe, the first security agreement of the Gorbachev era. At the Stockholm talks as we often called the CDE, a number of my European colleagues jokingly called me the “Iron Maiden of Stockholm” in a not altogether flattering reference to British PM Margaret Thatcher, the original tough-as-nails female negotiator. The many months I spent crafting an agreement with diplomats from thirty-five nations, sitting at a table alongside NATO colleagues and opposite Soviet and Warsaw Pact counterparts, was my great honor.After this heady time, I put most of my energy into raising a large family (requiring its own negotiating skills). Funny enough, having a family was not on that list and yet today I would say without hesitation that the most impactful (and most difficult) thing I've ever done is raise four children. I lived in several countries, including the former Soviet Union, Belgium, Sweden, Singapore, and Germany. Throughout adulthood I've been a committed runner. I've completed dozens of marathons in more than twenty countries, including the fifty-six-mile Comrades Marathon in South Africa. I eventually landed in the wonderful and welcoming city of Portland, Oregon as a single parent. There, I coached high school cross country and track at a large public high school before deciding it wasn't too late to dust off that forty-year-old list and write a book.I now divide my time between Portland and Washington, DC, but also travel for fun, for research, and best of all, to visit my children and grandchildren.https://suzanneparrywrites.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
