Tales from the Valley Podcast - Charl Jansen van Rensburg

Sam and Russ chat with Charl after learning he is gearing up for Osaka Marathon on February 25th. Charl has impressive PB's across the board including 15:57 for 5k, 34:10 for 10k, 1:16 for the half and 2:45 at New York marathon.

Charl tells us how he started running in Africa growing up, and how he dabbled in multiple sports which gave him a basis for a long and healthy running career. 

Charl has had an impressive and consistent training block despite a very busy schedule and working in a high pressure field career wise. We talk about how flexibility has been key during the training block and also the benefits of training in the hot and humid Wollongong Summer and reaping the benefits with a cooler marathon in Japan. 

Stay tuned to our Instagram and we will try to provide the best link to follow Charl's splits on the day.
