JANINE has compiled a training programme to help women limber up before the race.
It's easy to get started you don't have to have run before and you don't need to run all the way round. With only two weeks to go, try following this simple training plan to get you going. If you can get outdoors great -- grab a mate and off you go! Don't forget to take some water!
Remember if you need to walk sooner fine, don't beat yourself up it's supposed to be fun.
If you are wanting to lose weight, watch what you are eating and drinking over the next two weeks and you will notice the difference.
Although it is only two weeks to go Janine has devised a three week programme. For those who have done gentle exercise, follow the programme from two weeks. For beginners, start with the three weeks and adapt it to your needs.
