Run, refuel, recover: your Two Oceans Marathon game plan
So, you’ve signed up for the Two Oceans Marathon - congrats! Whether you’re tackling the 56km ultra (you absolute machine) or cruising through the 21km half, one thing’s for sure: you need a solid game plan. Because let’s be real, running through some of Cape Town’s most scenic routes sounds great until your legs are screaming for mercy at kilometre 40. But fear not, we’ve got you covered with everything from pre-race prep to the best spots to refuel once you cross that finish line. Let’s get into it.
Work Club vs. WFH: Finding your productivity sweet spot with co-working
Ah, working from home. That’s the dream, right? No commute, no dress code, and complete control over your schedule. You get to swap out awkward office small talk for quality time with your pet, and lunch is whatever’s in your fridge instead of a sad desk sandwich. It sounds pretty perfect, TBH.
But of course, nothing stays perfect forever. At some point, the thrill of working in pajamas wears off. The couch starts feeling more like a productivity trap than a workspace. The ‘quick’ mid-morning laundry break turns into a full-blown home organisation project. And before you know it, you’re answering emails at 10 PM because, well, your laptop is right there (and your afternoon turned into a whole Netflix binge).
That’s where co-working spaces come in. They offer the structure you crave without the rigidity of a traditional office, and social interaction without the overenthusiastic coworker who insists on recapping every episode of whatever show they’re binge-watching. So, which setup is actually better? As it turns out, that depends on you.
