Free, weekly, five kilometres, and nobody cares how fast you are. Everything you need to know before you rock up.

Thin air in Joburg, wet air in Durban, thunderstorms at four. How to keep training through a South African summer without cooking yourself.

No gym contract, no garage full of kit. Forty minutes, a bit of floor space and one pair of dumbbells is enough to get properly strong.

Platteklip, Skeleton Gorge or India Venster? A plain guide to the popular ways up, and the mountain sense that matters more than the route.
