the event. Previous runs starting with light easy work and shorter
distances can be done as a base for your training. When you feel
comfortable with this you can increase the distance and pace to
increase your fitness. It is important to eat and drink correctly before
the event to keep your energy levels up and stay hydrated. You can
pick up some training tips or join in with others on training runs.
