Ross' Corner
Dr Ross Tucker is a well known Sports Scientist, working with UCT and the Sports Science Institute. He has done extensive research into the performance of the human body during exercise - both in normal conditions as well as extreme and endurance events.
He shares with us a series of videos to provide some useful knowledge that will make the difference between a good and a great marathon, no matter what distance you might be running.
Click here for his blog and videos.
To take part in the discussions around these videos, please visit our Facebook page.
