With 2 weeks to go until the Malaga Half, now’s the time to sharpen your pacing strategy and arrive at the start line confident.

We’ve teamed up with Runna, the #1-rated running coaching app, to share some pacing tips to help you run strong from your first stride to the finish.

Lock in your target pace
Runna predicts your finish time and syncs live pace cues to your device, so you know exactly when to push and when to hold back. Aim to stay within 3-4 seconds of your target pace to keep things controlled.

Aim for a negative split
The half marathon is a true test of pacing discipline. Start slightly slower than goal pace, then build gradually through the miles. You’ll stay relaxed and still have the strength to finish strong.

Practice a progression run
Try progression runs: start steady and gradually build pace until the final mile is at (or slightly faster than) race pace. It’s one of the best ways to train your body to manage effort early and finish strong.
