About Coach Charl

The Man Helping Ordinary Runners Achieve Extraordinary Finishes

Running has been part of Coach Charl Wichiker’s life since his school days, competing in the 400m, 800m, 1500m and 3000m events. What started as a passion for athletics eventually became a lifelong mission to help runners discover just how capable they truly are.

Over the years, Charl has successfully completed an incredible 15 Comrades Marathons, gaining not only endurance and discipline, but a deep understanding of what it truly takes to prepare for, endure and conquer the ultimate human race. But his impact reaches far beyond his own achievements.

As an official Comrades Marathon pacer, Two Oceans Marathon pacer, and pacer for numerous races across South Africa, Charl has helped countless runners stay focused, push through doubt and achieve goals they once thought were impossible. He understands the journey because he has walked and run it himself.

Driven by a passion for helping others grow through running, Charl founded RunBelievable Coaching — a community built on belief, perseverance, discipline and personal transformation. His mission is simple:

To help runners believe in themselves, trust the process and become stronger in every area of life.

To further strengthen his coaching expertise, Charl completed his running coaching certification through the Sports Science Institute of South Africa, specializing in endurance running training essentials and program design. This allows him to combine real-world racing experience with proven coaching principles and science-backed training strategies.

But for Charl, running has never only been about medals.

It’s about:This is a Paragraph Font

  • Resilience,

  • Growth,

  • Discipline,

  • Courage,

  • And becoming the best version of yourself.

Whether you are preparing for your first 5km or chasing the finish line of the historic 100th Comrades Marathon, Coach Charl is committed to helping you train with confidence, stay consistent, and cross the finish line proud of who you became along the way.

Keep moving. Keep believing. Keep becoming better.

Because as Coach Charl says:

You’ve got this.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Most People Never Run Comrades Because They Stop Themselves Before They Even Start.

Not because they are incapable.
Not because they are too old.
Not because they are not “real runners.”

But because fear, uncertainty and self-doubt convince them that the dream is impossible before they ever give themselves the chance to try.

Maybe you’ve told yourself:

  • “I could never do something like Comrades.”

  • “I’m not fit enough.”

  • “I started too late.”

  • “I don’t even know where to begin.”

  • “What if I fail?”

  • “What if I can’t finish?”

  • “I’m not a serious runner.”

HERE’S THE TRUTH:

Most Comrades runners did not start as elite athletes.

They started exactly where you are now:

  • Unfit,

  • Uncertain,

  • Intimidated,

  • Doubting themselves,

  • But willing to take one step forward.

The difference is:

They decided to start.

With the right guidance, structure, accountability and support, ordinary people achieve extraordinary things every single year.

That’s exactly why Coach Charl created RunBelievable:

To help runners stop doubting themselves and start believing in what’s possible.

You do not need to become someone else to run Comrades.

You simply need:

  • the right plan,

  • the right support,

  • and the courage to start.

One day or day one?

Every Comrades finisher was once someone wondering if they could actually do it.

Your journey starts with one decision.
