This week I delivered an online webinar all about preparing for half marathon race weekend. This episode is the recording of that session.
As I am also preparing for the half marathon, I show how to take the course and break it down into sections and then map that onto pacing bands that make sense for your experience and training.
I also covered the weekend logistics, conditions, the pitfalls to watch out for as well as some mindset and nutrition tips. You can use these to prepare for any race, especially a big half marathon or marathon.
Register your interest for my new group coaching opening soon which will provide you with tailored plans and support through online webinars and Q&A sessions just like this one.
