Training Strategy for London Landmarks Half Marathon
10-14 weeks is a solid window for a first half marathon; 8-10 weeks is enough if you're already maintaining a baseline mileage. Build your long run up gradually rather than jumping straight to race distance.
This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.
Reduce overall mileage across the final 7-10 days while preserving short race-pace bursts. Arrive at Pall Mall, London fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.
Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.
Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.
Half Marathon Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A modest increase in carbohydrate intake over the 2-3 days before the race — not one huge pasta dinner the night before — is the sensible approach to topping up glycogen stores for a half marathon.
Stick to a carb-focused breakfast, timed 2-3 hours before the start, and make sure it's something you've already tested rather than tried for the first time.
On-course water/gel station details were not published at the time of writing — carry your own fuel if you have specific needs.
Post-race recovery starts with carbohydrate and protein, ideally within the first hour.
