Â
Keeping your muscles loose and maintaining blood flow is vital for improving performance in the lead-up to a major race day, being sure to avoid untimely fatigue and injury. This is the key function of a shakedown run.Â
Â
Prior to the day of the London Marathon, we will be meeting on that (hopefully cool) morning to complete a relaxed, preplanned 5km route. This will be the best setting to connect with our running community and ease any nerves you may have about the following day ahead.
Â
There will be ample opportunity to receive guidance from our running experts, ambassador Haroon Mota and run coach Semeena Khan.Â
As with our other running events, our fleet of Norvan LD 3 will be available for trial; indicate your interest and shoe size at registration.Â
