Marathon? 10 km? Duathlon? Whatever your occasion, Jenni Falconer has tips for getting readied for a race

In case YOU'RE NEW TO THIS… 'In case you're quite recently beginning and need to get fit, I'd propose a run-walk combo. Absolutely never feel since you can't keep running for a hour without ceasing that you're coming up short – you must begin some place. When I'd quite recently had my infant, I could just deal with a run-walk. Do thirty seconds on, thirty seconds off and slowly increment the circumstances.'

Practice YOUR RACE SPEED...'Practise the speed that you need to keep running at a couple of times before the occasion. You shouldn't be preparing at race speed, however it's vital to figure out the pace. I've been honing a great deal of my long-keeps running for the London Duathlon and London Marathon on a treadmill since it's been so cool and dim outside, it's mind-numbingly exhausting, yet it's helped me nail my pace. It's imperative for me to get that mood at the top of the priority list.'

Get THAT H2O... 'You should expand the measure of water you're drinking as you get nearer – being hydrated is so imperative.'

WARM UP AND DOWN... 'I have a froth roller to help with extending. It feels revolting at the time, however I feel the advantages subsequently. In the event that you can bear the cost of it, a better than average games rub is a fulfilling and will help recuperation.'

GET RUNNING SHOE SAVVY... 'Ensure you have the correct footwear. Try not to purchase coaches on the grounds that you think they look pleasant. A year ago, I went slope running in mentors that weren't right for the run and I got medium tibia push disorder accordingly and shin damage, and implied I needed to haul out of the marathon. In the event that I'd carried on running I would have an anxiety crack - all from wearing the wrong coaches!'

Try not to GO OTT WITH CARBS... 'I think 'carb-stacking' is somewhat of a myth. You clearly require vitality and some carbs, yet eat gigantic serving of mixed greens measured dishes of pasta and you can over do it – it may abandon you feeling lazy. I include supplement cases containing caffeine and electrolytes to my water and convey vitality gels amid the race, for a lift.'

Concentrate ON TIME RATHER THAN DISTANCE... 'I don't stress over separation, I'll regularly design my keeps running by deduction 'today I will do a hour and a half.' Don't stress over superfluously driving yourself to the most extreme before the race – you would prefer not to deplete your body.'
