Race 4 – Pelindaba
On Sunday I’ll be running my first road race since 9 May. I can’t believe it’s been that long. This week is a cut back / easy week for me so I decided to do a half marathon on the road rather than a trail run with some heavy climbs. I think my legs might enjoy the break from the trails.
Next week is week 1 of 3 hard training weeks for the 50k race on 11 September. The three weeks will be 82, 84 and 90km respectively, including some long and tough trail runs. This means I’ll run the half marathon on Sunday super easy.
Take care everyone and have a fantastic weekend of running and relaxing!

Love that bridge on the Hennops River run. Ditto on what MizFit said above!
I love the trail photos! I would love to do a trail race some day! Good luck on your training. Can't wait to hear more!!
Very nice photos from your trail series - great job? Have fun at the race and good luck ramping up for the 50k. How is the dog doing this week?
Those are some great pictures. I especially liked the bridge shot in race 2 and the steep climb in race 4. Good luck in your half.

Hi Johann,
I love all of your pictures from the trail run series! You look like you are enjoying yourself and I am a sucker for smiles:)
Good luck with your half marathon this weekend!
Those pics rock! Your totally nonchalantly posing in all of them :)
I haven't seen the trails in 2 WEEKS! I am totally having withdrawals!
If I got that right, tomorrow is your Birthday! Happy 47th :) Have fun with the half...I can't believe all the miles you have planned...you are a machine!
That's it. I have offically added another item to my Bucket List: Run in South Africa with Johann.
I love the bridge pic - so cool! Good luck with the road race...I love the trails but I also love the road! Happy weekend!! :)
Are you smiling all the time that you're out running - or is it just for the cameras?
Good luck this weekend Johann! With all the mileage you have been putting I am pretty sure you will kick some butt on the race! I will Jill on the bridge pic, super cool!
you always look like you're having such a great time, as you should!!
Great pictures! I have to confess that I smiled at your reference to the half marathon as easy. I wish I could say that, and mean it.:) Good luck!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I always appreciate new readers, followers!
Great photo-report Johann! The image of Hennops River is nice. I hope this morning you enjoyed your first road race since 9 May.
I am sure that your legs will be grateful after all these trails. Great pictures and wonderful places to run through. What happened to the Springbocks?
