Comrades Silver medal Congratualtions!
Report back from Annalise post race June 20th 2023
Being a trail runner who decided to focus on road for a few months I was very much out of my comfort zone from the start of this adventure.
Having been in a rut on the trails and struggling with nutrition for years, asthma and small niggles I had to change direction and take a break – even if it was only for 8 months and on the road. The Comrades dream was born and the training started.
Since I have started using Elixonol Liposomes earlier this year I have found the following:
- No stomach upsets or vomiting – I run with 3 drops in my soft flasks
- No muscle cramping
- Faster recovery
- No chest tightness or asthma attacks
- Better sleeping even before race day
- Stronger immune system
My build up to Comrades was not ideal – I don’t think anyone’s build up to a race is ever 100%.
The week leading up to Comrades I started feeling very sick, and the worse I felt the more I started stressing out. Not sure if I should even start the race, so sad thinking back to all the work and hours that went into this race. I spoke to the Elixinol team to get advise on re dosage to get better pre race and to just confirm how many drops of Liposomes I can take to bring down the illness and if I can overdose 😉 haha. (you can’t overdose in case someone wanted to know)
I confirmed the dosage and believing in this product, I knew it would pull me through.
I woke up on race morning with a big relief as I knew I would be able to start the race at least, I was so excited and ready.
I gave myself 20km to assess the body and see if I would be able to push on the day or just finish, but at 50km I was ready to start moving.
I am thankful that I was able to under the conditions, still give my best – AGAIN no nausea, no lung problems just moving through the beautiful Comrades course – soaking up the vibe!! It was so special and amazing!!
I finished my first Comrades with a time of 7h15 and a ladies silver medal (Isavel roche-kelly medal)
I am so grateful for Elixinol and their amazing products that has been able to give me an opportunity to run and enjoy adventures again.
THANK YOU!!!
A BIG congratulations to Annelise for taking our advice and seeing it through to achieve such and incredible time on her first Comrades! Things are only getting better.
