Mastering the 1:30h Half Marathon

Practicing Pacing and Race-Day Strategies

Pacing and race-day strategies are crucial when it comes to running a half marathon in 1 hour and 30 minutes. Proper pacing helps you conserve energy and avoid hitting the wall, while race-day strategies can help you stay focused and motivated throughout the race.

One effective strategy is to break the race into segments, focusing on one segment at a time. For example, you might focus on running the first 5 miles at a comfortable pace, then pick up the pace for the next 5 miles, and then push yourself to the finish line. This strategy can help you avoid burning out too early in the race and give you a sense of accomplishment as you complete each segment.

Another strategy is to practice visualization techniques, which involves visualizing yourself achieving your goal and overcoming any obstacles that might arise during the race. Visualization can help you stay positive and focused, even when the going gets tough.
