March is qualifying month!! You are really building up a head of steam and are entering the riskiest phase of your training. Resist the urge to run too fast at this satge – you will have a whole year after Comrades to impress yourself and your friends.
During your first marathon treat the race as procatice for comrades, use the same gels and race strategy – walk breaks, vasaline etc and after the race take note of the chaf areas and blisters so you can pre these areas before the next race.
