So why do orcas target the sharks liver? It is packed with nutrition and it not a small organ! This was the only sevengill shark left intact after Port and Starboard killed at least 17 on Sunday. It has rake marks so was likely 'gripped' but subsequently escaped them, succumbed to its injuries or beached. @dyerict @marinedynamics @dyerislandcruises

Here is some of the footage of the recent white shark hunt by Orca. This clip was shared by the @thedailybeasts exclusive article with Discovery channels Shark Week (I didn't realise there was a clip until someone shared it on instagram). One of the most incredible pieces of natural history ever captured on film. We are looking forward to sharing the science behind this and the rest of the interaction soon, and trust me there is more! @fanatics.drone @jeff_kurr @seasearchresearch #SharkWeek #killer whales #whitesharks #sharkresearch

It’s just a 10 run, they’ll say. It’s NOT JUST a 10km run. It’s bigger than that🥹 I have never thought I’d be on a race ever in my life. But running has been my safe space & my saving grace after I lost my mother. I had to find something to escape my feelings and running became exactly that. I usually (casually) do my 5kms around the estate which began at around 55min but with consistency went down to an average of around 35min. I BET ON MYSELF with this race, I had never run a 10km before. I thought it’d be a great challenge. Chatting to my best friend yesterday I said I’d love to finish at 1h15m although I really want to take it easy as it’s my first. What a mind blowing & fulfilling experience! God said you want it at 1 hour 15 min? Say less… Totally unbelievable how He gives us EXACTLY what we ask of Him🥹 I got to 9km and I balled out crying, I don’t know what exactly made me emotional but I think it’s got to do with how I thought it would never be me… and in that moment, IT WAS ME, I had done it! Please do me a favour & bet on yourself! You’re more than capable through Christ.

Small repetitive changes equal results! Still on my journey, in my own pace & path. My goal is not to be thin. Never have I been and andirhaleli tu ❌ All I wanted was more energy, I longed for the feeling of being light & not tire so much so quickly. And since I began running & working out I’ve been seeing a lot of good habits that have made me more motivated. * I sleep better, no-more insomnia * I have a renewed energy and endurance * Less headaches * My asthma has improved significantly * I’m feeling very light (I’ve lost a lot of weight) #run #runhappy #running #boymom #momlife #momoftwo #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #runninglife #runningmom #capetown

The London Marathon holds a special place in my heart. I’ve been privileged to run it twice, in 2023 and 2024, with the most amazing support from my friends. This year, I decided to show up and I even got to see the elite men race past at mile 19. #londonmarathon #londonmarathon2025 #runtogether

Miway Wally 2025 ✅ “ One foot infront of the other” - that was the strategy that got me to the finish 🙃 What a route! I will be the first one to put up my hand and say I prefer the old route 😩 I am coughing and have all the flu symptoms- but I STILL prefer the old route 😐 The uphills were frequent - and long 😩 The only thing that made me smile, like REALLY smile on the route was the @runnersofhopeac waterpoint - the music and vibes were 👌 Otherwise - we ran wethu 😅 The race was beautifully organised and packed to the max 🥰 Next year I am supporting - soze! How was it for you? 🤔 #MiwayWallyRoadRace #MiwayRoadRace2025 #MiwayRace2025 #WallyRace2025

@tshwane10k you owe us nothing 👌 Such a stunning stunning Sunday morning ☀️ There’s just something special about a sold-out race, because nothing beats the vibe of a venue packed with runners that are high on the runners high 🤭 As always - a brilliantly organised race ✔️ From the Gautrain luxury travel, staggered start, to the endless en-route entertainment down to the vibes at the finish! Drinking from cups takes some getting used to, and we could have had more people pouring into cups because it did get a little chaotic 😩 But that’s the one and only thing I could fault! I vow to never ever drive to this race again, I will always use the Gautrain! And I vow to always run this race because I love me a flat route 🫶🏽 It was a good day in the office 💃 Yes, we smell bad after the race, but who cares 😅 When you look around all you see and hear are smiles 😀 hugs 🫂 encouraging songs and words 🥰 Ag - I love you guys down 🥹 To everyone that called my name out, exchanged a hug, a photo and said such kind words to me especially about losing the baby weight - THANK YOU ❤️ As always, izaza by @waterpoint_running_sunglasses #MaternityToMarathonWithMo #RunWithModiegi #Run2025WithModiegi #MoOnTheMove #ABSARYC #absaryc10km #AbsaTshwane

Missing my sub 5 target on Saturday has surprisingly been a welcomed outcome. There is nothing I can look back at and want to change. I ran my heart out till the end and I am happy overall. The weather conditions were perfect, my pacing was great…..race day is a gamble. I had the most amazing race. I love Two Oceans Marathon and it owes me nothing. Till next year for my 9th 🥂 Thank you for the pictures friends, the videos, the cheers and all. You made the day even much greater 🫶🏾 I love this picture @nkazi626 #PumaRunning #Puma #ForeverFaster #FueledByNitro #cherrieefit #runnerofinstagram #running #runners #cherrie_e_fit #MarathonTraining #LongDistanceRunner #UltraDistanceRunner #TopRunneroftheBackRunners #SouthAfrica #HollywoodAC #HollywoodAthleticsClub #PurpleTeam #HollywoodACxTTOM #HWAC #TTOM #TwoOceansMarathon #TTOM2025

Yesterday was a great racing day. Leading to the race I was scared. I was scared because I was going to attempt something I have not done in 7 years; i.e. run a sub 3:40. I had a plan but I didn’t know what the route was like. I had been told that it’s an “easy marathon”, which I know now is a dead beat lie. There is nothing easy about running a marathon except if you are not racing. The target pace had been set and from the very first kilometer I was on track and I would lock it till the later kilometers of the race. I also remained very disciplined with how I approached the race. There were moments I felt I could move faster but after years of listening to Comrades Marathon commentators, I know that the smartest racing is securing the target first and if the PB comes, it will be because of the smart racing done earlier. I ran with a number of men from the beginning and it is worth mentioning that I had an absolutely amazing race with all that were with me at different stages of the race because of how they allowed me to run without talking, and allowing me space to just be in my zone. There were occasional chats but everyone was focused at the task of the day. At halfway, I was dropped from the bunch. I didn’t try to fight back because their pace was not matching how I wanted to run at that point. I ran solo for about a kilometer and then caught up. From this point, I was glued to them until there were only two remaining. Of course I was one of the two. The last 7kms of this race route is tough but manageable if you didn’t overcook yourself early on. There’s just one section that dismantles everything one has done; i.e. Willasdale Drive. It’s about 500m around 37km but feels like the entire Polly Shortts. I lost time here and any predicted finish time😭. Coming out of it is also painful to the legs because you almost immediately descend and then there are two more climbs with one, about 200m taking you up to the finish and immediately you hit the grass and legs get wobbly. Is it worth it? Most definitely 💯 Buffs Marathon 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾is nie pap ń vleis nie. 📹: Tatakho🙏🏾 #fueledbynitro #ForeverFaster #Puma #running #BuffsMarathon2024

Besides the route being really tough and me losing a toe nail- I GOT to do this 🫶🏼 From 16km it got tough, my heart rate spiked, and my legs felt so heavy- but @genehoniball pulled me through and kept motivating me to finish with all my strength. Looking back now, the moments that felt impossible were only temporary and the pure joy of movement lasts so much longer. My cup is overflowing. I am so grateful to be part of this community. Thank you Jesus!! To Edinburg and Southern Cross Drive: I'll be back!!! xoxo 📍:6 April 2025: Two Oceans half marathon, Cape Town. ⏱️: 2:15 - 3rd fastest half marathon ⛰️: 435m elevation gain (Strava) 🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️: Race kit- @burnt.studios, @hoka.southafrica & @soxfootwear #running #raceday #runningmotivation #capetown #halfmarathonrunner #grateful #runhappy

Happy International Literacy Day from this book lover who loves books and takes them everywhere she goes 😊 The theme for this year is Promoting literacy for a world in transition: building the foundation for sustainable and peaceful societies. I hope you’ve been having a great reading month. Let me know what book has stood out for you in this new season. It’s getting warmer in the southern hemisphere and we get to enjoy sunnier days outside; so I can’t wait to see some friends at bookish events 💃🏾 Book in picture: @thabileshange_ In the Midst of It All, published by Kwela Books, an imprint of @nbpublishers . . . . . #bookamosoreads #worldliteracyday #readingculture #bookamosoreads2023 #shotleftsa

Hey guys!💕 I’ve decided to officially train for my first ever @comradesmarathon — June 2026, here I come! 🏃🏽‍♀️💥 With this new journey, I’ll be drawing all my strength from God, seeking Him ALWAYS. “Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually.” ~ 1 Chronicles 16:11 ✨ 📏 From 21km to 90km in under ONE YEAR. I’ll be sharing every step: the grind, the doubts, the wins, and the lessons. Your support means everything as I chase this goal! 🤸🏽‍♂️💛 🎯 Goal: Cross that finish line in PMB — June 2026 🏁 Starting Point: Base mileage + 10–21km races If you want to follow the journey, training and have ran Comrades or planning to— let’s connect! ✌🏽💕. #comrades2026 #comrades2025 #floracomrades2025 #isikompilo #morethanarace #theultimatehumanrace #comradesmarathon #ssathletics #stayunbeatable #omoxcomrades

MID-RUN CRASH OUT 🏃🏽‍♀️💥 Honestly this was my toughest long run yet 😔. From the very first km I wanted to turn back ☹️. I even told myself, “If my marathon feels like this, I’m quitting running 🤣🤣.” Maybe my energy dipped because I skipped my beloved potatoes last night 🥔 (let’s blame it on that). But I stuck it out and hit the distance I planned 🙌🏽. I’m now writing this from bed after some post-run yoga 🧘🏽‍♀️, about to nap 😆 — exactly what I wanted to do at km 20! Every run has a lesson: sometimes your mind and body sync perfectly, other times you have to power through with just one. And if the run doesn’t go as planned, always have a Plan B 💡- Exactly what I learned today #longrun #MarathonTraining #running #Comrades2026 #runningz #SundayLongRun

I’ve been dealing with shin splints for a while 😖, and recently got custom insoles👟 to help with support. But I knew I needed to go deeper — to understand why the pain was happening and how to fix it for the long run⚡️🙂‍↔️ That’s why I did a full running gait analysis 🏃🏽‍♀️‍➡️👌🏽with @megsteyn_biokineticist 💕 . The session revealed so much — from a small heel whip and overpronation, to a weaker left glute medius, and limited hip extension. Now I have a clear plan to strengthen 💪🏽the muscle groups that will support my running form, protect my shins, and help me run more efficiently. If you’re training for a race or battling recurring injuries, I highly recommend booking a session with @megsteyn_biokineticist 🏃🏽‍♀️✨ #RunningGaitAnalysis #RunSmart #InjuryPrevention #ShinSplints #ComradesMarathon2026 #DurbanRunners #Biokinetics #RunEfficiently
