Coach Hansie - we chase results together

It is time now to run a few more faster ones. The art now is to use Herbalife and not to do carboloading for the Ultra-Marathons any more. This was quite an adjustment. It seems to me that Prof Tim Noakes and others may be right. We carry enough fuel as fat in our bodies to be able to complete four marathons. The challenge now is to unlock the fat and the secret seems to rest with Protein and Herbalife tea and retraining the body. Let's see ... so far I ran the follwing distances and times without carboloading: 2 hours - Jan 2014 3 hours - Feb 2014 5 hours (40 slow kilometers) - Feb 2014 4h46 (46 faster kilometers) - March 2014 Still too slow for PB in 56 km ... but this will change in the next 14 months

On 12 December 2009 I ran my fastest 15 km race in a mostly flat route in the Avbob 15 km run at Tableview. The weather was great and the fellow runners very supportive. Francois Gouws from Edgemead (my old running club) helped me to push at the end to ensure a good time. I am running in Herbalife colours now. I felt great after the race. For shorter races I normally use Herbalife tea before the race as well as Herbalife Niteworks. The niteworks seems to puch more oxygen to the muscles, but then ... that is only my perception. The Herbalife tea gives that extra kick for me which could last up to two hours. I will normally take a Herbalife shake for breakfast which may be some two hours or more before the race. This may be with milk or just with water. I find that the Herbalife 24 sportshake is best for me with water. Milk is not good for some athletes - so be careful with that.
