Here are some tips to keep you going strong:
- Keep refreshed and hydrated - use the water stops along the route
- Keep comfortable – wear the correct running attire to keep you cool
- Make sure you wear good running shoes that you’ve worn before (nothing worse than blisters)
- Get your motivational playlist sorted (some ideas below)
- Pick something nice to look at on the course
- Break the kilometres into smaller chunks by counting or reciting song lyrics that measure a certain distance
- Don’t carry unnecessary items – get your supporters to take the photos
- Give your legs a rest by incorporating stretches of walking along the way
- If it’s a sunny day wear some good-fitting sunglasses to reduce glare – and don't forget sunscreen
- Make sure you have some treats in store to look forward to on completing your run
