vir Comrades voltooi.

Walker ’n top-hardloper

MARTI WILL

Wanneerjyjou agtereenvolgende Comrades-wedloop voltooihet , weet jy ditwas diemoeitewerd. Virdr. MarnaWalker,'nGoudvelder,het hierdiejaarpresiesdít gebeur.

“Alles het laas jaar,2025, begin toeekmyeerstemarathon ooit gehardloop het –die Mielie –om te kwalifiseer vir die TwoOceans,” vertel sy Walker vertel jy wilnet eenkeer in joulewedie Oceans-wedloop hardloop

“Net eenkeer. Voordatjymoet gesinbegin of enigiets soos dit.Dis al watjyvra. En toeoorreed almal my om net nogdriemaande verder te oefen en nognet 30 km verder te hardloop.Endan kanekdie Comrades ookdoen,”sêMarna.

Op 1April(“AprilFools”) verlede jaar hetsyhaareersteinskrywing vir diewedloop ontvang.

“Endan gebeur die wonderlike ding:Nadat jy joueersteComrades gehardloop het, wiljy dit weer beleef.Dit wasregtig’nongelooflike ervaring laasjaar om die Comrades te hardloop.Ietswat mens nievir iemand kanbeskryf nie," vertel Marna. Walker sê daar is ’n geheime resep.

“Dit help netasjy vir ’n doel hardloop.Wantjyraakmoeg.Jy wilopgee.Maarasjyweetmense houjou dop,asjyweetjyhet geld ingesamel,dan druk jy deur.”

Verledejaarhet Walker virdie DBVin Kroonstad gehardloop Hierdiejaarwas dit dieVirginia DBVsebeurt.

“Wantwanneerjymoegisenjy nie meer wilverder aangaannie, danweetjy: Mensemaakstaat op

jou. Hulle hetbetaal virjou om te hardloop.Sojyhou dannou maar, en dandrukmens maar deur.”

Eenrand’nkilometer.Dit is wat sy gevrahet.Sobasies R85 of R86 perborgvir diehelewedloop.Sy hetongeveerR7400 ingesamel. Saammet Charmaine Nortje,’n mede-atleetvan dieGoudveld, was dit R12 300 –’ngoeie bedrag virdie diereinnood.

Walker sê jy hardloop nie net vir die medaljenie,jyhardloopomjou kopskoon te maak. Om gesond te bly. Om die stresweg te hardloop “Ekhardloopnou al 20 jaar.Ek hetmyeersteVrystaatselandloop gehardloop toeekgr. 4was.En dit is omtrent24jaarterug,” vertel

Walker

Sy is ’n Goudvelder in murg en been –die Goudveld Hoërskoolis haar almamater

“Ekhet hier in dieGoudveld grootgeword, en hier blyek

hardloop.”

Walker is ’n veearts, en haar praktykisbydie Doorn-dierekliniekinWelkom.

“Werkhou ’n mens besig, maar jy maak tyd. Jy moet.”

Sy doen elke jaar die Surrender Hill-wedloop in Clarence –dit is haar gunsteling– en die Mielie,die Four Peaks(watmeervan ’n veldwedloopis), en nouook die Two Oceans-enComrades-wedloop

Metdie Mielie het sy gewoonlik die 21kmgedoen, maar sedertlaasjaar is dit dievollengtemarathon watsytussenOdendaalsrus en Welkom,enterug,hardloop.

“Ekhardloopsoeen keer in drie maande ’n marathon.Die reshardloop ek maar om kopskoon te kry en gesond te blyenvir algemene fiksheid. Ek hardloop elkedag, en naweke doen ek gewoonlik my ver hardloop-sessies waar ek vir drie uur salgaanhardloop,”sêsy.
