Good luck with that. 50 years is a biggie and Comrades is a great way to celebrate that.

@@guidebooksguidebooks5564 thank you 😊

That is what I am doing. Running my 1st Comrades as I am turning 50 this year. I am South African but living in the UK for the last few years.

Good luck with that. It's a hop-skip-and-jump till your green number.

Correct

😂😅 Heard that as well. 😂 At other hills he stopped mentioning at which kilometre are located.

@@maboketshabeclement4078 Just an honest mistake...I nearly subbed out of Comrades because of the 100km high climb of Cowies Hill, then I remembered that I actually stay on Cowies Hill:)

Yeah it was a slip. Was not sure how to edit, Ah well, it is what it is. Someone was awake.

@guidebooksguidebooks5564 100%, it is all awesomeness, thanks for the video, appreciate it immensely.

Glad you enjoyed. Good luck with your run.

I'm guessing you are referring to the half. For in truth you do get to enjoy both Oceans in the Ultra.

@@guidebooksguidebooks5564 Nope, I am talking about the ultra. It is only the Atlantic Ocean that you see. The Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet at Cape Agulhas, which is not visible from this route, you'd need to drive about 3 hours further south in order to see both.

Sorry I'm confused. The run past Muizenberg, past St. James and onward to Fish Hoek. That is along the Indian Ocean. The run up Chapman's Peak, and down to Hout Bay - That's the Atlantic Ocean. And hence the name of the race. What I think you are referring to is where the two oceans physically meet - at Cape Point - or there's about. In which case you are correct.

The two oceans meet at Cape Agulhas, the tip of Africa, not at Cape Point.

Is it? That sounds interesting. I will be running my first comrades this year.

@@jjndz3782 yes, on the downrun, its goes up, theirs only downs after 60km and by then the body is sore and joints are in paid, so its more painful going down hills.. in fact, many people are walking down the hills by then.. on the up run, its about pacing until the top of inchanga.. from their, its good running until little pollys and pollys which people walk up..

Good question! Comparing Comrades to Two Oceans is always difficult. But...On the Up Run Fields Hill is the monster - to be sure. Constansia is shorter and a bit steeper. Drawing comparisons one must look not only at the length and steepness of the hill, but also where it comes in the race. Roughly speaking - Constansia and Inchanga would be fair and equivalent comparisons. But.. watch this to get an idea of Comrades hills th-cam.com/video/gBBMh3a4kbk/w-d-xo.html

Good point. I'll do one for the down run and include cut-offs.

Glad you enjoyed
