The Jabulani Challenge 12 week plan will incorporate incorporate everything you need to get stronger, improve your mobility and increase your mileage at a safe rate so you can have a great race, without injuring yourself along the way.

Hurry though, the plan commences this week so sign up now to take full advantage.

Training plans are available for purchase during event registration or directly from the Body Mechanic HERE.
