We are nine weeks out from Cape Town Marathon and it is recovery week. Coach Ntutu shares why these weeks are just as important as your hardest training sessions, how to use them to boost performance, and why sleep, nutrition, and smart rest will make or break your marathon. We also explore the value of time trials, how to practice race skills now, and why trusting the process will leave you stronger for race day.

10 weeks to go! In this episode of Run Cape Town, Jamie and Coach Ntutu dive into a critical balancing act: how to juggle race-day efforts with marathon training, why you should respect your recovery days, and how intensity—not just pace—can make or break your block. They also bust myths about the 10% rule and answer the golden question: “Should I make up missed sessions?”

Six weeks from Cape Town Marathon, Jamie and Coach Ntutu break down the seeding/wave email (what it means and what not to stress about), how to use next week’s tune-ups like Gun Run without derailing your block, smart plan tweaks and mini-tapers, what to do after you race, and the gear dress-rehearsals (shoes, belts, socks, layers) that prevent race-day surprises.
