Run Free, I believe Comrades is HILLY but it depends which way they run it. They turn it around every year I think. SOme years they run UP the mountains and some years they run DOWN. I think that's right anyway. :-)

Lore of Running (Noakes) and Everyone's Guide to Distance Running (Williamson) both have schedules and discussion focused on Comrades.

Plenty of time to run a 5 hour marathon before June.
