Thats a commitment though...comrades every year for the next 10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADe Posted August 15, 2014 Share Haha. Nah I think 2015 could be Comrades. IM 2016.I think I am also skipping IMSA next year and doing Comrades. It is something I want to tick of my bucket list. I do not think doing both is an option for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RABUBI Posted September 17, 2014 Share So they changed the rules a bit You cannot use previous years comrades as qualifier, and now people complain about this Seriously, are people idiots?? You need to be able to finish a marathon and an ultra in the qualifying time anyway or you are f***ed. People are stupid sometimes....

FondTF2 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Remember a talk years back from Mr Nick Bester saying that it was more difficult training for Comrades than it was for IM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
