Short, honest notes from Dr Alten du Plessis on the sport we love — and the life it quietly teaches. I write these the way I'd talk to you on the warm-down jog: unhurried, honest, and more interested in what's true than in what sells. Choose one to read in full.
We'll happily pay for the entry, the shoes, the medal and the post-race coffee — and then hesitate over the one thing that would make every kilometre after it better. I want to talk about that, honestly, without trying to sell you anything you don't need.
