With 2 weeks to go until the Málaga Half Marathon, now is the time to fine-tune your pacing strategy and reach the start line with confidence.

We've teamed up with Runna, the highest-rated training app for better running, to share some pacing tips that will help you run strong from the first stride to the finish line.

Set your target pace

Runna predicts your finish time and syncs real-time pace cues with your device so you know exactly when to push and when to hold the pace. Try to stay within 3–4 seconds of your target pace to keep the race under control.

Aim for a negative split

The half marathon is a true test of pacing discipline. Start slightly slower than your target pace and gradually build throughout the miles. This will help you stay relaxed and still have energy to finish strong.

Practice a progressive run

Try progressive workouts: start at a steady pace and gradually increase your speed until the final kilometer is at race pace (or slightly faster). It's one of the best ways to train your body to manage effort early and finish strong.
