The hard work for your half-marathon begins long before you reach the start line. It’s the consistency of early mornings and dedicated weekends, and the balance between speed, strength and stretching (you have to stretch, stop fighting it.)

This year, we’ve created an ecosystem of training options, working with the best people and brands, so you can feel confident in the months, days and early hours before the race starts.
