Club Kit

Below is a graphics of the latest Bedfordview Athletics running vest.
Please note that club colours must be wore when taking part in all races.

Long Club Run

The Long Club Run takes place every year at least 6 weeks before Comrades.
There are various distances available to runners on the day and it is up to you to decide which distance you want to run. The distance you select would depend on the races you have selected to do during the month of April.
You certainly don’t want to end up doing too much and burning yourself out before Comrades, so be sure to plan your April correctly.
The distances available will vary from year to year depending on the route selected for the long club run. You can work on the following distances as a general rule:
65km
55km
50km
Final details regarding the long club run will be emailed to you closer to the time.

Training

January to FebruaryComrades and Two Oceans quality and speed training

March to May – Comrades and Two Oceans specific build up training

June to December – The period after Comrades is a recovery period followed by a focus on getting speed back into the legs. The focus here should be on running some solid 10-21km races and looking at getting the times down.

Toward the end of the year the focus shifts to building a base for Comrades and Two Oceans before going into the new year.
