The Trail Running Masterclass Episode is LIVE🚨

Listen in as Andrew Erasmus shares one of the biggest lessons the trails have taught him—not to chase every split or result, but to slow down, look up, and enjoy being out in nature.

We also dive into trail running technique, training, strength, race strategy, gear, safety, and why trail running is so much more than just running off-road.

🎙️ The Trail Running Masterclass is now live on Spotify, YouTube and all major podcast platforms.

🚨NEW EPISODE | LIFE AFTER COMRADES 👀

The Comrades finish line isn’t the end of the journey... it’s the beginning of the next one.

Fresh off a record-breaking victory at the 2026 Comrades Marathon, George Kusche joins me to talk about something we don’t hear enough about: what happens after the race.

In this conversation we unpack:
🏃‍♂️ Why the off-season is one of the most important parts of your year
🧠 Giving your body and mind permission to recover
📈 How to return to training without rushing the process
🎯 What’s next for George as he turns his attention back to the marathon and future Comrades campaigns

One of my biggest takeaways from this conversation was this:

Recovery isn’t time away from training. Recovery is training.

🎥 This is also a special episode for Making A Runner as it’s our very first full video podcast! I’d love to hear what you think as we continue to grow and improve the show.

Whether you’ve just finished Comrades, are building towards your next goal, or simply want to become a smarter runner, I think you’ll take a lot away from this conversation.

🎙️ Available now on Spotify, YouTube and all major podcast platforms.

Decades of consistency. A Comrades champion. Still running strong. 🏆

In this conversation with Shaun Meiklejohn, we go beyond the results and unpack what it actually takes to stay competitive in this sport over a lifetime.

From winning Comrades to consistently earning silver medals year after year, Shaun shares the mindset, habits, and approach that have allowed him to keep showing up — and performing — for decades.

This isn’t just about running fast. It’s about building a body and mindset that lasts.

In the clips, you’ll hear some of the key insights from the episode, but the full conversation goes much deeper into:

- Longevity and consistency in training
- Maintaining speed as you get older
- Racing ultras properly
- What it really takes to stay in the sport long-term

If you’re serious about your running — not just for one race, but for years to come — this is one worth listening to. 🙌
