Having just completed my 5th consecutive Cambridge half marathon I decided to record another solo episode (number 38) to share ten top tips to help you achieve the goal of running a half marathon. It's easier than you think and can be great fun too!.

1. Know your starting point

2. Book your race

3. Have a training plan

4. Implement a run/walk strategy

5. Mix up your training runs

6. Stick to your plan

7. Incrementally increase your mileage each week

8. Remember your reason why

9. Remember to do a taper

10. Focus on your hydration and nutrition

Remember the most important part is to enjoy the journey and the person you are becoming. Running is so good for mind and body and these skills transfer into every other area of your life and build confidence from within.

'Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must, just never give up!' - Dean Karnazes
