🏅 MEDAL MONDAY – Balwin Peninsula Marathon 42.2km 🏅
📅 2026/02/16

From left to right: Griffin De Ru, Coach Andrew, Pieter Naude, Coach Cheryl, Wesley Naude – and what a powerful lineup it is!

From the start at Cape Town Stadium to the finish at Simonstown Naval Base, 42.2km of grit, heart, and “why did we sign up for this again?” moments 😅

But look at those medals… totally worth it.

Strong legs. Strong minds. Strong team.
That’s how Marathon Monday should look 💪🏽🔥

Marathon Recovery Mode: Activated 🏃‍♀️➡️🛌

Well… we trained for months.
We conquered the distance.
We earned the medal.
And now?
We walk down stairs like we’re 97 years old and negotiating peace treaties with our quads.

Marathon recovery is that special time when:
Sitting down requires a strategy meeting.
Getting up requires a small prayer.
Sneezing activates muscles you didn’t know existed.
And you proudly wear your medal… mostly because lifting your arms to take it off feels unnecessary.

But here’s the magic ✨
Recovery isn’t weakness — it’s part of the victory lap.
It’s where the body rebuilds.
It’s where the mind reflects.
It’s where you realise you did something extraordinary.

So hydrate like it’s your job.
Stretch like you mean it.
Eat like you earned it (because you absolutely did).
And walk it out… slowly… very slowly.

Recovering properly after a marathon is just as important as the training that got you to the start line. Here’s a simple, practical guide to help your body bounce back stronger 🏃‍♀️

🕒 The First 30–60 Minutes After You Finish
1. Keep moving (gently).
Don’t stop abruptly. Walk around for 10–15 minutes to prevent stiffness and help circulation.
2. Hydrate immediately.
Water + electrolytes. You’ve lost fluids and salt — replace both.
3. Refuel smartly.
Within 30–60 minutes, eat:
Carbohydrates (to replenish glycogen)
Protein (to repair muscle)
A good ratio is roughly 3:1 carbs to protein. Think chocolate milk, yogurt & fruit, eggs on toast, smoothie with protein.

🛁 The First 24 Hours
4. Stretch lightly.
Nothing aggressive. Gentle mobility work only.
5. Elevate your legs.
Lie down and put your legs up against a wall for 10–15 minutes to reduce swelling.
6. Ice or contrast showers (optional).
Helpful if you feel very inflamed, but not mandatory.
7. Sleep.
This is your secret weapon. Growth hormone peaks during sleep — that’s where real repair happens.

📅 Days 2–7 Post-Marathon
8. Active recovery.
Easy walking, light cycling, or swimming. No speed work. No ego running.
9. Foam rolling & massage.
Helps with tightness and circulation.
10. Eat well.
Keep protein high and don’t suddenly “diet.” Your body is still repairing muscle damage.
11. Listen to pain signals.
Soreness = normal. Sharp or localized pain = investigate.

🚫 What NOT To Do

Don’t rush back into hard training.
Don’t ignore unusual pain.
Don’t sign up for another marathon in your emotional high… immediately. (Okay, maybe give it 48 hours 😅)

⏳ When Can You Run Again?

Easy jog: Usually 3–5 days after (if you feel good).
Structured training: 10–14 days minimum.
Full race effort: Often 4–6 weeks depending on experience.

Remember:
You didn’t just run 42.2km — you stressed every system in your body. Recovery isn’t laziness. It’s part of being a smart athlete.

Your medal is shiny… now let your muscles shine too. 🏅

Today we recover.
Tomorrow we brag.
Soon… we sign up again. 😏🏅

Peninsula Marathon 42.2km

From the start line at Cape Town Stadium to the finish at Simonstown Naval Base — 42.2km of grit, gees, and just a little bit of “why did we sign up for this again?” 😅

What a day out on the Peninsula! Sunshine, sea views, and a team that showed up with heart, humour, and serious determination.

A massive shoutout to our top athletes:
🏃‍♂️ Runners Coach Andrew
🌹 Coach Cheryl – the rose between the thorns
🔥 Griffin De Ru
⚡ Wesley Naude
💪 And officially joining the marathon squad – Pieter Naude!

Whether it was your first marathon or your tenth, 42.2km is 42.2km. Blisters don’t count how many you’ve done before. Every single one of you is a winner in your own way — for the early mornings, the long runs, the discipline, and the courage to stand on that start line.

You’ve earned those bragging rights. Wear those beautiful medals proudly (yes, even to the grocery store 🏅).

We are incredibly proud of you. You athletes are truly inspiring!

27 FOR FREEDOM 🇿🇦
📅 07 February 2026

More than just a race… this was a journey through South African history.

Set at the iconic Groot Drakensteyn Prison, the 27km route took runners through the very footsteps of Nelson Mandela — a powerful reminder of resilience, sacrifice, and freedom.

This technical 27km race, combining road and off-road terrain, passed the historic Mandela House, where Madiba spent his final 14 months of imprisonment. Every kilometre carried meaning. Every step told a story.

👏 Congratulations to our 4 Run Walk For Life Table View athletes who rose to the challenge and conquered this incredible race.
Your strength, determination, and respect for our history make us incredibly proud.

💚🖤💛

FROM THE COACHES CORNER
Coach Cheryl

How to Choose the Right Running Shoes (So Your Feet Don’t File a Complaint)

Choosing running shoes is a bit like dating. They can look amazing on the selves, but might not be the best for you. Running shoes must feel comfortable immediately. No breaking-in period. Your toes need space to wiggle, not a group hug.

2. Know your foot type (because your foot has an identity crisis)
Some feet roll inward, some outward, some behave nicely. A proper running store can check your gait. This helps avoid injuries and unnecessary drama later.

3. Cushioning is not a personality trait
More cushion doesn’t mean better. It means right for you. If it feels like running on marshmallows or bricks — wrong shoe.

4. Shoes are not fashion accessories (sorry)
Yes, they must look good. But blisters don’t care how pretty your shoes are. Comfort first. Instagram second.

5. Replace them before they look “emotionally attached”
If your shoes are flat, worn, and begging for retirement — it’s time. Old shoes cause aches, pains, and questionable life choices.

Bottom line:
The right running shoe should feel like a supportive best friend — comfortable, reliable, and never judging your pace.

Your feet carry you through every run. Treat them well… they remember everything 😜

Happy running! 🏃‍♀️👟

Running Determination: One Step at a Time

Running is not just about strong legs or fast times — it’s about determination. It’s the quiet decision you make when the alarm goes off and your mind says not today, but your heart says let’s try. Determination is showing up, even when the pace is slow, the road feels long, or motivation is missing.

Every run teaches us something. We learn that consistency beats perfection, that progress comes from patience, and that small efforts done regularly create big change. Some days you run strong, other days you simply finish — and both count. Each step forward is proof that you didn’t give up on yourself.

Running also builds mental resilience. It trains you to push through discomfort, to breathe through doubt, and to trust your body and your journey. What you learn on the road carries into life: perseverance, discipline, and belief.

At Run Walk For Life Table View, we believe running and walking are more than exercise — they’re a lifestyle. A reminder that determination grows with every step, and that you are capable of more than you think.

Lace up. Start where you are. Keep going. 🏃‍♀️✨
