@nelsonmandelamarathon race expo was a truly South African vibe! And a beautiful tribute to Nelson Mandela, the man that changed South Africa for the better.

Cannot wait to hit the streets on Sunday for the inaugural Nelson Mandela Marathon. Excited to run alongside @fitnessgirl_za for her first stand alone marathon as we aim for a sub 4hr 30min - if you see us in route, we wanna hear you cheer taken in Cape Town, South Africa by @itbntb

Beginner running plan for busy people: your plan shouldn't need a new life. 🏃🏾‍♂️

Parents and working people fitting everything into one day: start with 16 minutes. Run 1 minute, walk 1 minute, repeat 8 times, twice this week.

That's a real Couch-to-5Km start, from a running coach who builds plans around real life.
You don't need a new goal.
You need a plan that fits the life you're living now.

💾 Save this for your next free 16 minutes.

📤 Send it to the friend who keeps saying she'll start.

What does your schedule realistically allow? Tell me your time slot below.

2026 comrades was still the most amazing experience of my running journey if not my life. I ran in honor of my late Uncle Q who was at first diagnosed with melanoma and who sadly passed away from cancer. He was my favourite human. I failed that day and that’s all that mattered. I made my self a promise that 2027 would be my victory lap. Since then a friend who had become a brother has been diagnosed with Melanoma, how full circle this moment is. @cuanwalker is known as Q. As much as Comrades 2027 will be the Victory Lap for my personal victory I get to do this for something bigger than my self. I get to do this to raise awareness Q.. I will be running not only for my self but for Uncle Q, for Cuan and for my late G ran.
To raise awareness for his fight against cancer and the money needed so that Cuan wins his battle.
Asaaaaaambe.

Don’t allow one bad moment in a day define the entire day, a bad day is just that a bad day, we get to go again don’t take it for granted. It’s a privilege to do things that many others can’t do… it’s a new month, many many more opportunities to go again! by @itbntb
