Start small and set realistic goals, then continue to build up. Learn to pace yourself Everyone has a pace that they are more comfortable with, so my advice would be to find that pace as you train and try to stick to it so that you don’t risk burning out before the finish line. If you know where your body is comfortable, you will feel more confident pushing yourself on the day! Treat your body as the priority Training for a long run requires endurance and ensuring your mind and body are healthy so that you don’t put unnecessary strain on yourself. I make sure I am listening to my body and what it needs. I like to fuel my body with organic foods and those that are rich in healthy fats and fibre. Get enough sleep, as it is important.
