Top Tips
- Don’t neglect your steady runs. Base miles help build the endurance you’ll need to go the distance.
- Build up miles on your feet. Try to not focus only on distance and try to think about the positives of running for long periods of time as like it or not this will be the reality of race day.
- Know your pace. Train at your target race pace and it’ll feel easier come race day.
- Tempo running is key. This will really give you the edge for 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.
- 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. 26.2 miles is a long way whether you are new to running or not and will at times involve you pushing the boundaries of comfort. But by being confident and believing in your ability and preparation you should have a fantastic journey.
