b"Women's Running Stories host and producer Cherie Turner tells the story of her return to the 56-mile Comrades Marathon in South Africa. This is Cherie's second running of this, the world's oldest and largest ultra distance race in the world. And this for running, she had the goal of running better, both physically and mentally: she wanted to finish in under 10 hours (in 2022, she ran it in 10:25) and with a more positive, less fearful mindset. She wanted to fully soak in the magic of this one-of-a-kind event.\\nCherie tells the story of what she did different to prepare for Comrades 2023 and how it all went down.\\nThe Comrades Marathon has been a great interest to Cherie for the past several years. This podcast started with stories of women's experiences at the race. But Cherie had never intended to participate in the event herself. That is, until she heard, over and over again from the women she interviewed, that to really understand Comrades, you must experience it for yourself. So, in 2022, she did just that.\\nWhile her first Comrades experience was incredible, she knew there were improvements that she could make that would result in an even more outstanding race. That's exactly what this story is all about.\\nMentioned in This Episode\\nCherie Turner + Comrades Marathon, A Hear Her Sports Special Collaboration: https://womensrunningstories.com/cherie-turner-comrades-marathon-a-hear-her-sports-special-collaboration\\nJae Gruenke, The Balanced Runner: https://www.balancedrunner.com/\\nThe Balanced Runner, breathing protocol: https://www.balancedrunner.com/how-to-breathe-when-you-run-part-1/\\nVerity Breen on Women's Running Stories: https://womensrunningstories.com/verity-breen-running-far-and-fast-a-life-long-love\\nComrades Marathon episodes on Women's Running Stories: https://womensrunningstories.com/podcast/women-comrades-marathon\\nCoach Parry Comrades Down Run Description: https://blog.coachparry.com/comrades-marathon-route-down-run/\\nCustomizable Pace Chart: https://www.irenerunner.co.za/comrades.html\\nKeep up with Hear Her Sports\\nInstagram: @hearhersports\\nTwitter: @hearhersports\\nWebsite: hearhersports.com\\nWays to Connect and Engage with Women's Running Stories\\nInstagram: @womensrunningstories\\nTwitter: @WomenRunStories\\nWebsite: womensrunningstories.com\\nEmail host Cherie: clouiseturner@gmail.com\\nWomen's Running Stories is a member of the Evergreen network: https://evergreenpodcasts.com/"
