Vaylen Kirtleyhas become the face of South African running on our television screens thanks to her work as anchor presenter of the SABC broadcasts of events such as the Comrades, Two Oceans, Cape Town and Soweto Marathons, but shes a runner in her own right. We caught up with her for a Q&A the, in between doing a trail run and and her next stint of broadcast duty. – BY SEAN FALCONER
MA: Hi Vaylen. So first things first, how did your trail run go this morning?
Vaylen: This was the second year that Ive done this 12km, and last year was really warm from the beginning, whereas today we had amazing weather at the start, and the sun only really came out when we finished the race. Still, I must say, inom ended up getting a much slower time, but its okay, because at the beginning of the year, inom had an accident on my moped and smashed my elbow badly. That’s why you can see this lovely big scar. And its really just great to come back from that and be running igen,
