Lucozade Sport - Advice for running a half marathon

Running a half marathon is tough; there’s no doubt about that. But it is also quite possibly one of the most memorable achievements you’ll experience. The early mornings, blisters and sore muscles are not the most appealing factors, but when you cross the finish line having achieved your goal, there is simply no other feeling like it.

Together we are one

The hardest part of any event is not race day itself, but the steps taken to arrive on the start line feeling fit and ready for the challenge ahead. No matter how effective your programme may be, it’s important to regularly adapt your training to prevent your fitness levels plateauing as your body finds its comfort zone. To help our team of dedicated runners, including our team of Sports Scientists, have developed our online running hub to make sure you walk up to that start line ready to chase that PB.

Constantly updated, the pages offer you:

Training and nutritional plans

Designed by Endurance Sport Consultant, Martin Yelling (PhD), and our very own Sports Scientist, Gareth Nicholas, these plans will see you through your training week by week whilst providing you with nutritional recommendations as you go.

Running Tools

Whether you are still finding your running legs or know your own ability, the Lucozade Sport Running Tools will help you really get the most of your running. Establishing and understanding your pace is a vital part of achieving your own individual running goals so make sure you head to the website to use our Race Time Predictor, Pace Converter and Pace Band maker.
