Race week is finally here for the Cape Town Marathon!

In this final episode of the Run Cape Town podcast, we talk through everything runners should focus on in the last few days before race day, and, just as importantly, what you should avoid.

We cover final race week training, why you should not try to “test” your fitness, how to manage sleep, hydration, and nutrition, what to think about if you are travelling to Cape Town, how to handle the expo without spending too much time on your feet, and what to keep in mind for race day pacing, weather, water stations and your GPS watch.
