Six top tips for the Cardiff Half Marathon

Here’s her 6 top tips if you’re getting set for the start line.

1. Set out your kit and your race number ready the night before so you're not rushing around trying to find something on the morning of the event

2. Make sure you have your food, nutrition and drinks ready. Don't be tempted to change what you take with you at this stage - just do what you've practised

3. Get the rest you need. Avoid screens before bed to get a good night's sleep.

4. On the day of the race, keep your routine the same. Get up early enough so you can have a decent breakfast and so it can digest before the race starts. I tend to have porridge with banana or peanut butter on toast. Try to keep things fairly plain.

5. Arrive in plenty of time to allow for parking, to figure out where you need to be and do your warm up.

6. Relax! You've done the training - now enjoy the experience. Good luck!
