Preparation, pacing and race-day basics.

Speed and control

A short but demanding distance. Avoid starting dramatically faster than the pace you can sustain.

10K

Pace and endurance

A balance of speed and aerobic strength. Even pacing becomes increasingly important.

Half Marathon

Efficiency

Long runs, consistent pacing and a tested fueling strategy become more important over 21.1 km.

The day before

Keep food familiar.
Prepare your shoes, kit and race number.
Check the weather and travel plan.
Do not try to gain extra fitness with a last-minute hard workout.

At the start

Adrenaline can make the opening minutes feel unusually easy. Starting slightly controlled can help you maintain a stronger overall pace later in the race.
