Do you have an inspirational or interesting story to share about your TTP Cambridge Half Marathon journey – perhaps you’ve raised funds for a great cause or overcome a challenge as part of your training? We’d love to hear from you! Get in touch.
Read on for motivational stories, exciting news and latest updates.
With 16 weeks to go we have asked our Official Training Partner @coopahruncoach for their Top Tips to kick start your training;
🔜 BUILD YOUR BASE - over the next few weeks you want to focus on building up your mileage and adding some consistency to your running. Aim to get out 2-3 times a week to start with.
⏱️SET A GOAL - it might be a specific time, it might be a PB or maybe you just want to complete your first half marathon, but no matter what it is, having a clear goal to work towards can help you to stay motivated during your training.
🍌PRACTICE FUELLING - it is never too early to start practicing your race day fuelling. Get used to taking on gels (or however you choose to fuel) during your longer runs so that you can find what works for you.
