I'm running my first ever half marathon tomorrow and it's safe to say i'm more than nervous!! Any final tips from people that have done it before?
Been training for over 3 months now but just can't make myself calm down and have convinced myself I'll be last through that finish line lol

    Haven't done it before but I'm wishing you luck! I'm sure you'll do great with all that training!

    Even if you are the last person across the finish line, that would still mean you finished. No shame in getting your money’s worth out of the race :)

    Hey me too!!!! What HM are you running in? Not the coco beach one by chance?! I’m nervous too but I know it’ll be so much fun! Just trying to keep in mind to pace myself especially in the beginning, everyone is going to start off fast I bet.

    Keep true to your training. You will have others running past you but keep your pace. I had some issues with the water, i was use to bottles but the race water was given in cups. I had trouble drinking while running. Someone told me to squeeze the cup at top to make it easier to drink.

    Have fun.

    Last across the finish line is a finisher.

    Just have fun, don't be afraid to use walk intervals if you need to.
    My first half I was the last person to finish (in 3:33), but I still finished, it was a pr and in a year I've taken an hour off that time.
