Nu har jag fått nog av vintern…. I dag så kom det 7 cm snö till. Just nu känns det som att det kommer att bli snö fritt lagom till midsommar. Jag behöver lite ren asfalt för att kunna köra lite tempopass ute på vägen. Det är inte samma sak att köra dessa passen på löpbandet.
Träningen denna vecka fram tills idag består av 674 min och 146 km fördelat på 8 pass.

Dagens Comrades fakta:
Jag kommer att springa för en sydafrikanskt klubb under comrades. Detta är en grym fördel att få denna möjligheten eftersom att jag nu kommer att få bra support före och under loppet. Klubben kommer att hjälpa mig med vätskelagning och annan viktig information om loppet. Jag lägger ut brevet som jag har fått från Nick Bester

Hi Jonas
I am glad that you want to focus on Comrades and feel free to ask my anything about the race and if you need some recommended training advice.
Please remember that the competition and quality of runners in Comrades is 10 times more as in any 100km. world championship event.This runners don’t go to world champs as they run for high prize money and don’t want to waste their energy on low pay events.
I raced world 100km champs in 1993 and ran 6h40 minutes in Belgium and the next year I managed A 5H40 Minutes Comrades marathon in second position.
But in the mean time the competition become stronger and in 1996 and 1997 I have to run 5h30 minutes for a second position.
So you are on track with your 100km. time of 6h41
As you know that there are only 2 or 3 so-called professional clubs in South Africa and thousands of runners that require some sort of assistance and one thing that I do not want to get involved with is bargaining one club against the other club.
Nedbank is a credited Running club in South Africa with our sponsor-Nedbank- one of the major banking groups in South Africa and also a major sponsor of the Comrades marathon and we are in the running business as well as the Comrades for the long run. We invest in athletes for the long term and no only for this year.
You will be part of our exclusive-NEDBANK GREEN DREAM TEAM.
We will supply you with adequate running apparel, track suit etc.
We will make sure that we have got a seconding team on route to supply you with your personal drinks.
Kind Regards
Nick Bester
