TRAINING PLANS
Following this guide, you’ll feel as ready as you can be when the day comes.
Make changes where you need to, take rests when you please and beginners, make sure you don’t overdo it if your legs are feeling it. Swap days around to work with your schedule and lifestyle – it has to fit you!
Those more experienced runners, feel free to do more than we suggest or up the effort depending on your target finish time. It’s all up to you and how you’re coping with the program.
Remember to take your ‘long runs’ at an easy, comfortable pace. It will feel too slow at first, but feel tougher as you clock up the miles. These are not about running fast or at target pace but instead, for building up your endurance and for spending time on your feet.
For intense runs, consider running some fast ‘reps’ (short distances ran at a fast/uncomfortable place) with rest in between. Although you won’t run a long distance, these will help improve your fitness and stamina.

FIT TO RUN?

Regular running can reduce your risk of long-term illnesses, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and stroke. It can also boost your mood and keep your weight under control.
Check out this advice to avoid injury or illness and make sure you don’t push yourself beyond your limits. If you have any concerns, consult your doctor before you decide to run.
