Running Tips

Improve your race performance with these expert tips

Negative Splits Strategy

Start your race at a slightly slower pace than your target and gradually increase your speed. This "negative split" strategy helps conserve energy for a strong finish and can lead to better overall times.

The 10% Rule

When increasing your weekly mileage, follow the 10% rule: don't increase your total distance by more than 10% from one week to the next. This helps prevent injuries while building endurance.

Race Pace Training

Include race pace training in your preparation. Running at your target race pace helps your body adapt to the specific demands of your goal pace and builds confidence for race day.
