South African elite runners 20km trailer
With South Africa still on lockdown, athletes have been training the best they can, with a full 45 days of no training allowed when lock down first started. Now on level 3, people are allowed to exercise again.
This morning I joined Mdu Khumalo, a coach from Durban, South Africa. Mdu coaches many athletes not only from South Africa but Kenya and Lesotho to. In the mountains of rural Ndwedwe, his 3 athletes were to do 20km at 3:40 per km, but it ended up much faster!
The 3 athletes were:
Mohlomola Sekhonyana - 4th place Comrades Marathon 2019
Mbuleli Mathanga - 28:13(10k), 61:31(Half)
Thobile Mbolekwa - 2019 African 50km champion
