A Gambian spymaster, a Czechoslovak secret agent and a South African ghost called Sam. Correspondents share wit, analysis, and tales of strange encounters. Introduced by Kate Adie. Gambia’s intelligence agency has a new name and its boss is busy rebranding it – but beyond repainting the torture chamber, what does that mean, wonders Colin Freeman. Rob Cameron scours the archives of the StB – Czechoslovakia’s communist-era secret police– on the trail of ‘agent COB’. He meets the man who says he tried to recruit Jeremy Corbyn as an asset. Helen Nianais has coffee with a former jihadi who faces three years in jail after spending nine days in Syria. Now he’s trying to counter extremist propaganda online and help others reintegrate back into normal life in Kosovo. Shabnam Mahmood returns to Pakistan and finds that Uber and other cab-hailing apps are driving rickshaw drivers out of business, but there are still some parts of Lahore where older methods of transport dominate. And Harriet Constable visits Kaapsehoop – a village whose fortunes may have faded since South Africa's 19th century gold rush, but which remains rich in history, folklore, and ghosts.

Die bekende trop wilde perde by Kaapsehoop naby Nelspruit in Mpumalanga loop deur onder perdesiekte. Reinette van Niekerk van die Kaapsehoop Wilde Perde Fonds vra vir hulp van die gemeenskap, en veral toeriste om die geskiedkundige perde te help. Die wilde perde dateer glo uit die tydperk van die Boere-oorlog.

It is just around the corner and as we record this, just over 2 weeks to go to Comrades Marathon race day and here's a question in from Corne van Rensburg. Corne said; I started running on the 1st May 2014 after I was challenged to run the Comrades Marathon. Got off the couch, killed my cigarettes and started running. Fortunately I'm rather apt at running and got into it quite quickly. Started slowly, aiming to run a 5km, then moved to 10km, 21km etc. Qualified for Comrades at Kaapsehoop last year running a 4:07, and finished the year on 911km. This year Corne has run four more marathons and two ultras, Loskop being the best at 4:51. Up to now Corne's lucky to be injury free, and has run 1 150km for the year so far. The question is this; while I feel fantastic, I have not been in this kind of shape ever in my life, have I done too much? Is there a chance I'll show up on the start of Comrades and not be fresh? I'm following the bronze medal program and currently tapering. Reduced my weekend long runs and my quality sessions are also coming to a gentle halt now. Corne, two weeks out from Comrades, probably it's just the nerves, Lindsey, what do you reckon? Not the best time to find out if you've done too much?

Welcome to the latest edition of Ask Coach Parry. Today's question comes from Hugo. He gives us a bit of background. He says he's 47, been running for just under 2 years and he has never been a runner before that. He Completed the Comrades Marathon last year in a time of 11.42, with a Kaapsehoop qualifier of 4.15. He also ran the Pick n Pay in 4.40 and the City to City in 5.35 and he had a good deal of injury time in March and April. He had a few injuries after the Comrades Marathon, so he started this years preparation in poor condition. For 2015 he is following your bronze programme religously. He qualified at the gift of the givers with a time of 4.31 and a better time was honestly not possible. Johnson Crane half was done in 2.02, and he also pretty much did that flat out. After listening to podcasts and the all the things that you said at the road shows, the above makes bronze unlikely because Gift of the Givers and Johnson Crane are rather flat and the Comrades Marathon not so much. So this is what he is asking: What can he do in the next three months to improve the situation and, more importantly, what must be done between June and December this year if his marathon time is to be reduced to 4 hours or below for next year?

This is Ask Coach Parry and today we hear from Andre Gouws. He says he desperately wants to run the Comrades Marathon in 2015 in a sub 10 hours. He ran 2013 on about 400km's and finished in 11h55. In 2014 he did about 800km's and finished in 10h46. His pb for a 10km is 53minutes and half marathon is a 1h55. His marathon pb is a 4h02. He finished Kaapsehoop just a couple of weeks ago on a 100km's of training due to work pressure. He finished in a 4h08, which is pretty decent. Should he still be following the Comrades Marathon bronze training programme just on the faster end of the spectrum? What is your advice? Lindsey Parry: Your times indicate you should be running close to a sub 10 hour, so yes I would say he must follow the Comrades Marathon bronze training programme. I would say you must be in the faster 15 - 20% of the times is what I would be aiming to do the training at. Read More · Training Programs · www.CoachParry.com
