Opinion: There are many similarities between being a successful marathon runner and a successful investor.

To sum up, investing, much like running a marathon, is a long-term journey. As a motivated finisher, you can’t give up, even if you need to walk. Once you know your investment objective and how long you have to get there, you’ll be able to calculate just how much you should contribute (whether as a lump sum or a monthly debit order) and the type of return that you’ll need in order to reach your goal. For a marathon runner, it’s unrealistic to sprint right from the start and hope to sustain that same speed all the way to the finish line. As with training to run a race, being consistent as an investor means ignoring the short-term noise, sticking to your plan, and keeping your eyes on your long-term objectives. And this will need to be done over a reasonable and measurable timeframe in order to minimise the risks of injury but still get you ready in time for the big event.

Determined to compete this year, Russia's Alexandra Morozova, had to endure a court fight just three days before Sunday's race to enable her to participate.

“I was here at 6.30am to support the runners because we have been waiting for this moment. “There’s a massive crowd here and it’s great to see people supporting their friends and loved ones for the Comrades Marathon. However, I will come back, I will work harder and never again will I allow myself to fall short at the cut-off point at Drummond.” It’s just awesome to be here among all these Comrades Marathon supporters. This is the greatest test of endurance and just to feel the camaraderie is incredible. However, when I got to 40km I had the energy to keep going.
