In this episode, Candace talks with guest Tony about the medical news that he and his partner received, himself requiring an open heart surgery, and his partner getting diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's. He talks about making a counter-intuitive decision that went against what some research would suggest for patients with Early Onset Alzhemizers; instead, they retired, sold their home and became nomads running marathons and half marathons all around the world. Tony talks about what it was like to travel around the world running race after race in places like Madagascar, Bhutan and the Great Wall of China with nothing but a suitcase. The pandemic did not put a stop to their plan and they are still running around the world over 7 years later.Anthony L. Copeland-Parker was a professional pilot/manager for thirty-seven years, the last twenty-seven with United Parcel Service. His last job had him managing pilots and flying B757/767-type air-craft all over the world. When he retired, he began writing his blog, PlayHard-HaveFun.com. Since then, he and his partner Catherine have traveled to eighty-two different countries. They have run at least a half-marathon in thirty-five countries and on all seven continents.His book Running All over the World, adapted from a blog he wrote during their travels, is a nonfiction account of our five-plus years of flying, running, walking, sailing, and sightseeing from Atlanta to Antarctica and back again. Part travelogue and part medical memoir, it transports listeners to exotic places like Madagascar, Bhutan, and the Great Wall of China while at the same time offering a day-to-day look at what it means to have nothing but what's in your suitcase. It's also an offbeat love story, recounting the trials and tribulations of an ex-pilot with a passion for vistas and logistics and a woman so tough she walks a half-marathon in the Australian Outback mere weeks after breaking her ankle. During their years as nomads, they pushed their physical and mental limitations as often as they could - and finished every race  hand in hand.Get a copy of Tony's book hereFollow Tony on FacebookFollow Tony on IGFollow Tony on TwitterFind Tony on Linkedin

On today's episode, I speak to Frank Steyn from the Run 4 Schools foundation. Run 4 Schools hosts a range of in-school and after school programs aimed at empowering underprivileged students on the Cape Flats.  In 2019 Frank ran the Two Oceans Ultra Marathon in a pair of school shoes to raise awareness and funds for the Run 4 Schools initiative, which led to them buying & donating a 1000 pairs of school shoes to underprivileged students on the Cape Flats. In spite of losing two toenails last year while completing the gruelling 56km run in school shoes, Frank plans to do the same this year at the Two Oceans Marathon. Join me as I speak to Frank about what inspires him to do what he does.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coachedsuccess/message

This week on Womanity – Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to Ultramarathon Champion Gerda Steyn, who currently holds the titles to the Comrades Marathon and Two Oceans Marathon. We discuss her tremendous success in a relatively nascent career of just six years and her vision for the future as she prepares for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She shares her journey from quantity surveyor to professional athlete, including the transformation of her microcosm to optimise performance on the road. We discuss some of the dynamics of running, such as the team aspect of the sport, physical endurance and importantly mental strength – as the mind controls the body.  Gerda reflects on the history of competitive marathon running for women, explaining that women were barred, because of the perception that they were physically incapable of running long distances. In 1967 Katherine Switzer triggered an equality movement through her official entry to the Boston Marathon and completion of the event despite attempts to haul her off the track. Today female marathon runners are free to nurture their talent competitively, they earn equivalent prize money to their male counterparts and now receive equal exposure from broadcasters.

"The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried" - Stephen McCranie This was the quote that began Devon's Instagram post this morning following her 2:42 performance on Sunday at the London Marathon. She fought hard, braved headwinds for the final 6 miles and never gave up on herself. Her warrior efforts did not yield a personal best and she's walking away proud but admittedly hungry for more. She knows that she has more inside of her and she's willing to let it all spill out as she continues to find her highest and best with each performance. Devon is no rookie in this school of life and she has learned so many lessons from not learning the lesson. She is queued into how it all works and knows the universe will continue to line up life situations for her to grow into her most powerful self. Today we get a deep insight into where Devon is now within her journey of life. If you know of or have heard Devon speak before then you know you're in for some good conversation. In this episode, she opens up about embracing her self-worth and the deep work she has been moving through with the guidance from her health coach Sasha. We talk about the pressures and labels that go along with identifying ourselves as a certain type of athlete and how to live in freedom beyond those labels. Devon lives with fierce bravery and there are many moments of gold in this conversation so pay attention, take notes and definitely have a re-listen or two. Devon has run more than 40 Marathons and 40 Ultras since 2006. She is a 3-time member of the USATF 100k National Team. She is the 2007 RRCA Marathon National Champion, 2010 50-mile road National Champion. She is a 2-time Olympic Trials marathoner and has a marathon PR of 2:38:55 which she is in pursuit to break. In 2011 she was the 100k National Champion and also that year she set the FKT on the Grand Canyon R2R2R trail with Krissy Moehl. She's taken 3rd place at the prestigious Two Oceans Marathon (56k) in Cape Town, South Africa and 5th in Comrades Marathon (89k, as well as first novice and first American). At the 2015 Javelina 100 she ran the 3rd fastest trail 100 mile ever for a North American running and also won her way into the 2016 Western States 100 via winning Sean O’Brien 100km. She placed 3rd at Western States in 2016. In 2017, she bounced back from injury (sort of) to place 2nd in the 2017 50km Road National Championship, 10th at the 2017 Comrades and then onto the win at the prestigious Leadville 100 mile trail race on a broken foot. I can go on an on about Devon's accomplishments but the greatest achievements are the ones that she is unearthing from within. We are honored to share this beautiful woman with the YT community, someone who is not afraid to be afraid and someone who will continue to do great things in this life because of her courage.

Are you racing the Two Oceans Marathon and wondering what is the best way to taper for the grueling 56kms that lie ahead in 2 weeks time? If Comrades Marathon is your main goal, do you even need to taper for Two Oceans?

Meet Devon Yanko. On August 19, 2017 she won the Leadville Trail 100 - a race where 9,200 feet altitude is the lowest you'll experience on the course. She finished in 20:46:29, averaging 12:28 per mile - a half hour ahead of her nearest competitor. With nearly 16,000 feet of elevation change through Colorado's gnarliest mountain terrain, the course is so difficult that in most years, less than half of the field finishes the race. Having run in similar places, I can vouch for how strenuous this terrain can be (even for experienced runners). With precious air at a costly premium, the steep grades and uneven footing make traversing these trails a form of slow-motion torture. Going uphill burns the lungs after just a few steps. Each muscle contraction seems to draw double the amount of oxygen to fuel their movements. Running downhill isn't much better. The rocky terrain is a nightmare for those with weak ankles. Try running fast on a technical downhill trail after running for 3+ hours (in the dark, no less). It's terrifying. To win Leadville is like single-handedly winning the World Series or the Superbowl. Leadville is one of the top ultramarathons in the world. Winning it is a career-defining moment for trail runners. But for Devon, it's just one more race on her long list of achievements: 3 time member of the USATF 100k National Team including 2009 Gold Medal winning team in Belgium 2007 RRCA Marathon National Champion 2010 50 mile road National Champion 2012 Olympic Trials marathoner (PR of 2:38:55) 2011 100k National Champion Set Fastest Known Time on the Grand Canyon R2R2R trail with Krissy Moehl in April 2011 3rd place at the Two Oceans Marathon (56k) 5th in Comrades Marathon (89k, as well as first novice and first American) Ran the 3rd fastest trail 100 miler ever for a North American running 14:52 at the 2015 Javelina 100 Not to be outdone, she's also the owner of M. H. Bread and Butter bakery in San Anselmo, CA with her husband. Strength Running readers will also be familiar with Devon - she joined eight other elite athletes in sharing her best injury prevention and recovery advice for The Little Black Book of Prevention & Recovery (it's free - download it now). You're going to love my conversation with Devon - but not just because she's one of the best long distance runners in the world. She's also hilarious.

We get to catch up with Devon as she returns from the back-to-back Two Oceans Marathon and the 2017 London Marathon. This should be a fun show indeed!

Welcome to this edition of Ask Coach Parry. Today's question comes from Mogo Madnazeer, and I think it's a great question. He said he is doing his first Comrades Marathon this year. He knows it's an up-run. In 2014 he completed the Two Oceans Marathon in just under 6 hours. He's been training since September 2014, and has completed a couple of marathons this year already. Two of those marathons he's done in 4:15. He's also doing Two Oceans once again this year. In training he completes on average between 80-100km a week. Firstly, do you think this will be enough training for the Comrades Marathon, and secondly, do you think aiming for a bronze medal is realistic? Thirdly, there's a two month break between the Old Mutual Two Oceans and the Comrades Marathon, do you think this break is too long and should he be doing another 55km run closer to the Comrades Marathon, between Oceans and the big day?

Welcome to another Ask Coach Parry, and we are getting loads of great questions in as we get closer to the Two Oceans Marathon and the Comrades Marathon. Hannes has submitted his question today. He says he has been running for three to four years, he is training for the Comrades Marathon up run and currently is experiencing extreme fatigue. He is running between 55 and 65km's a week. He did the Kango Marathon in Oudtshoorn, he continued to train the following week. The following Friday they did a 47km long run to Hout Bay and back. This past Sunday he completed the 'half Cycle Tour' (as they're calling it, the Short Argus). He was also supposed to go out for a short run last night, but just couldn't get himself to do it. Hes asking should he be worried, should he start using recovery mix? His marathon time is 1.52, his Comrades Marathon time last year was in 11.54. He did a sub 6 hour Two Oceans Ultra Marathon last year. He is looking forward to your suggestions. Read More · Training Programs · www.CoachParry.com

Into the next edition of Ask Coach Parry. Today's Comrades Marathon question comes from David Green. He says he is a bit concerned that he is doing quite a bit more mileage than what we spoke about last week when we spoke about where you should be right now for a Vic Clapham, Bronze, Bill Rowan and Silver medals. He is a first time Comrades Marathon runner, although he has run 30+ marathons. He has got four Two Oceans Marathon finishes as well. But those were all some years ago. He is guessing that he will finish the Comrades Marathon somewhere between 10.30 hours and 12 hours. He is doing roughly 60km's a week right now and wants to do the Two Oceans as a training run. But he has to do a marathon before to qualify for the Comrades Marathon. Based on what he is doing for the long races in Cape Town he was thinking of the bay to bay 30km and Redhill 36km and so on. After qualifying for the Comrades Marathon at the peninsula mid way through February he plans to up the km's to 70km's per month to prepare for the big months March and April. Is this too much?
