Race Smarter: Pacing, Strategy, Transitions & Kit

Description

Your 2027 season starts here · Live cohort with Fred · Tue 13 Apr – 4 May 2027 · 4 weeks · 12 places (next cohort Tue 3 – 24 Aug 2027, for Karkloof, the September ultras, UTCT and SkyRun)

How to execute on race day. Pacing, race strategy, aid stations and kit – the things that cost experienced runners the most time. Timed 4–6 weeks before MUT, Comrades and the winter races.

Includes the Sigwren race planner. Build your race plan (course sections, pace targets and aid-station plan) in Sigwren, the app our coaches use, and take it to your watch. Your place includes Sigwren access from the day you book until 30 June 2027, covering MUT, Comrades and the winter races. The race planner isn’t sold on its own.

How it works

• Week 1 – Kit. What to carry, mandatory kit, and packing so you never think about it again.
• Week 2 – Pacing. Reading your course, effort on climbs and descents, and your pace plan.
• Week 3 – Aid stations and transitions. Routines, crew, drop bags, and executing your fuelling plan.
• Week 4 – Race strategy. Breaking the race into sections, managing low points, and your finished race-day plan, built in the Sigwren race planner and sent to your watch.
• Live every Tuesday at 18:30 (SA time). Sessions are recorded.

Small group, 12 places. The course runs with a minimum of 6. If it doesn’t fill, you choose: move to the next cohort, or get a full refund.

Buying for a runner? A course place makes a good gift. Add a note at checkout with the runner’s name and email, and we’ll welcome them before the course starts.
