Episode 11 of the Run Cape Town podcast lands exactly one month out from race day! Host Jamie is joined by Coach Ntutu and, later, Coach Lindsay Parry to guide you through the crucial final stretch of marathon prep. We unpack your final long run—why it’s the “dress rehearsal,” what to test (kit, fueling, hydration strategy), and what not to do (no marathon distance, no late “catch-up” miles, and save those carbon shoes for race pace). 

Then we lock in realistic race goals, using recent time trials and races to dial expectations and shape a smart pacing plan. Lindsay explains the Coach Parry pacing bands—built to the Cape Town course profile and customized to your exact goal time—and how to use them with course distance markers (not just your GPS).
