Knysna Half Marathon

Anyone else here on the hub doing it?

What times are you planning to run?

seems like it's going to be a wet day

This is a fast half marathon, dont be surprised if you get a PB here. If you comfortable with a 2hr half, expect to take 10 minutes off your time.

Simola: WALK down this hill!! Run vs walk is two days recovery vs a few hours.

Dress warm for the morning, but stuff you can throw away - be able to strip down to a vest and shorts.

Otherwise, aiming for a sub 2hr again, nothing fancy, going to enjoy this run more than compete

runnig vs waling down this hill is loosing 20 min or more

Dont brake on the downhill, just run it, also run it on the side where there is gras if its not too wet and you will safe some of the impact

 

dont srat too fast for the first 3km or so it all uphill, bargain to loose 30 sec per km here , you will be glad later that you did

 

Try and avoid the masses and move early to the start, if you have to push into the crowd to get closer to the front then move right not left

 

Dont stand at the back as you will loose atleast 3min to get started

This is not an easy race for the unfit or runner thats not in top shape, it also not a easy race in general

 

you wont to go easy and fast go do the Meiringspoort, here you will knock 15min off your pb time

i am still stuck in a hotel in asia so i wont be making it this year

Good luck and be prepared it will be cold and wet
