The good news is training this week is light on the legs ahead of race day Sunday! The last 11 weeks have focused on hard training and getting the fitness and strength to run a half marathon but the final week takes a slightly different focus – checking you have ticked all the boxed ahead of race day.

On The Day!
On race day morning make sure you get there nice and early to allow time for a warm up, toilet stop, bag drop and time to enjoy the atmosphere. I would recommend a small warm up prior to race start to help settle your nerves and prepare the body for the race ahead. Aim for an easy 10-15minute jog with 4 x 100m strides – walk back.
The key this week – is to kick back and let the legs freshen up.
Don’t forget to lets us know how you go on race day #purephysio @purephysiomelbourne
