Gearset is so excited to be back again as a sponsor of the TTP Cambridge Half Marathon!
This year, 50 Gearset runners are hitting the pavement—including Romain, one of their Software Engineers. Here’s what keeps him going on race day:

“The energy the other runners and the public provide. I'm always stressed on race day because there's always a part of me afraid of not achieving the goal I've set for myself and for which I've trained for. But as soon as I've crossed the starting line, I feel carried by that energy and it feels really great.”

Catch Gearset in the runner’s village for some free Ely Fudge and Gearset goodies, and let’s make this year’s event unforgettable! 💪🎽 #CambridgeHalfMarathon #Gearset

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.
