How to run it
Run the half marathon at goal pace. Start controlled: the first kilometre always feels easier than it is. If you feel strong after halfway, let it go. Warm up beforehand with 10 minutes of easy jogging and a few strides.
What it's for
Race day is what a plan builds to. Run on its own, it is a time trial: an honest measure of your fitness to set your paces from.
