Final weeks before the The Canberra Times Fun Run
Plans for the The Canberra Times Fun Run have closed because race day is less than 4 weeks away. If you have been training, most of the work is done. Use the final weeks to stay steady, then ease off for race day.
Half marathon: do your last long run about two weeks before race day. After that, keep your runs shorter.
10km: your last longer run can be about a week before race day. Then keep race week light.
5km: your last longer run can be about a week before race day. Then keep race week light.
Race week
- Keep your runs short and easy.
- Nothing new on race day. Wear shoes and kit you have already run in.
- Eat and drink what you are used to.
- Check the start time and how to get there on the official race site.
- Start at a pace you can hold. See the half marathon splits for your goal time.
- If you are ill or injured, get advice from a doctor or physio before you race.
