Top Tips
- Tempo running is key. This will really give you the edge for half marathon training and will include running at a faster but more manageable pace for longer durations. Tempo running has long been used by Kenyan athletes for many years and we all know their running prowess.
- Base miles help build the endurance you’ll need to go the distance. Don’t neglect your steady runs.
- Know your pace. Train at your target race pace and it’ll feel easier come race day.
- Hydrate. Give yourself that extra boost on race day by ensuring that you start the event suitably hydrated by drinking 500mls of Lucozade Sport in the hour before you run
- Stay headstrong. 13.1 miles is a long way particularly if you are relatively new to running; it may involve you pushing the boundaries of comfort. But by being head strong and believing in you and your preparation you should have a fantastic journey.
