HITTING THE WALL

🟡 Coach Andrew

“Hitting the wall” is something many runners experience in long races—especially the marathon distance (around 30–35 km). It’s when your body suddenly feels like it has no energy left, and running becomes extremely difficult, both physically and mentally.

🧱 What’s actually happening?
Your body mainly uses glycogen (stored carbohydrates) for energy while running. When those stores run low, your body is forced to switch to fat as fuel—which is much slower to convert into energy.

That sudden energy drop = the wall.

⚠️ How it feels
Runners often describe it as:

Heavy, slow legs (like running through mud)

Sudden exhaustion

Dizziness or weakness

Loss of motivation or mental clarity

Needing to slow down or walk

🏃‍♂️ Why it happens
Not enough fuel (carbs) before or during the run

Going out too fast early in the race

Lack of long-distance training

Poor hydration

🔑 How to avoid it
Fuel properly: Eat carbs before and during long runs (gels, bananas, sports drinks)

Pace yourself: Start slower than you think you should

Train smart: Build up long runs gradually

Stay hydrated

💡 Simple way to think of it:
It’s like your body saying:
👉 “You’ve used up all your easy fuel… now things get real.”

Even experienced runners hit the wall—it’s part of the journey. The goal is learning how to delay it or manage it.

From Couch to Ultra Marathon Runner!

Well done and massive congratulations, Griffin, on your exceptional run on Saturday, 11 April 2026, at the Two Oceans 56km Ultra Marathon. What an incredible achievement!

We’ve had the privilege of watching your journey from the very beginning — from running laps around the field to conquering your longest distance ever. Your dedication, perseverance, and steady growth have truly been inspiring to witness.

You showed up, put in the work, and proved that consistency and determination can take you further than you ever imagined. This milestone is not just about the distance, but about the commitment, resilience, and belief you’ve built along the way.

We are incredibly proud of you and can’t wait to see where your running journey takes you next. The future is bright, and this is only the beginning!

Keep pushing, keep believing, and keep inspiring. 🏃‍♂️🔥

Two Oceans Half Marathon 2026

This event remains a premier fixture on the racing calendar, and this year's edition was equally impressive. Well done to all athletes who showcased their mettle by starting, pushing through, and finishing. We are profoundly proud of your accomplishments.

Age is just a number — and Maxine Hill proved that once again yesterday.

Lining up at the very back of the Two Oceans Half Marathon, she took on 21.1 km for the first time in 30 years. But doubt never stood a chance. Step by step, she pushed forward with determination, grit, and heart — until she crossed that finish line like a true champion.

Her journey is a powerful reminder: when you commit your mind and soul to something, train with purpose, and refuse to give up, your goals can become reality.

Well done, Maxine. You are a true inspiration.

Good luck, Team Run Walk For Life Table View!

The Two Oceans Marathon is upon us — the moment you’ve been working toward. Through early mornings, tired legs, and unwavering commitment, you’ve put in the hours and trusted the process.

Now it’s your time.

Run with heart, walk with pride, and give it everything you have. Remember why you started, embrace every step, and soak in the incredible journey from start to finish.

Go out there, do your best, and proudly fetch that well-earned medal at the end. You’ve already achieved so much just by showing up.

“The miracle isn’t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.”

Richmond’s Corner 10km 🏃‍♀️

While normal people were sleeping in and enjoying a peaceful long Easter weekend… we chose chaos. Alarm clocks at silly o’clock, questionable life decisions, and somehow… a 10km run 😅
(Only athletes will understand that this is our kind of fun.)

Luckily, it wasn’t too far to travel — some of our members cut it so fine they basically warmed up by running straight to the start line!

Well done to every single athlete who took part in this race… which turned out to be a “10km”… but more like a surprise 9.8km. Not that we’re complaining — we’ll take a discount any day 😂

A special shoutout to Yenge Vorster on completing her very first 10km (give or take 200m). You absolutely smashed it! 💥
