    Comrades 2027 is officially on the horizon, and the excitement around the 100th running is already massive.

    In this episode, Brad is back with Official Comrades Coach Lindsey Parry to look at how you should approach your Comrades 2027 training, whether you ran in 2026, are returning after a long break, or are hoping to take on Comrades for the very first time.

    They talk about why you should not rush back into hard training, how to structure the rest of your year, when to think about qualifying, and why consistency now matters more than chasing massive mileage too early.

    If Comrades 2027 is on your radar, this is where your journey starts.

    After 17 years away from running Comrades, Lindsey returned with a conservative race plan, serious strength training, smart pacing… and still had to battle brutal hills, blazing heat, cramping calves, and the mental chaos of Poly Shortts.

    In this episode, we unpack his full race debrief: what worked, what nearly ruined the day, why strength training changed his recovery, how he ran a negative split, and the biggest lessons every Comrades runner needs to hear before the historic 100th edition.

    Whether you finished, didn’t finish, or are already dreaming of Comrades 2027... this one is packed with powerful lessons, honest mistakes, and the kind of inspiration only Comrades can deliver.
