The week before the Comrades Marathon

In this video I explain what I do in the week leading up to the Comrades Marathon - The Ultimate Human Race.
Note: I usually run the Comrades in a time between 10:30:00 and 12:00:00. In 2024 I will run my 15th race and my aim is to run under 10 hours. I will start in D-batch.

André, I usually continue my core training until about 4 days before race (marathon) day. Do you recommend this as well for the Comrades? Strength training would have stopped about 2weeks before.

[@ChurchMouse54978]

I only know about the "stop strength training 10 days before Comrades"- rule. You want to give your body an extra good rest before Comrades, so I would think it is best to also stopped core training 10 days before race day.
