Running with Rob (Week 5) - Knowing the route and visualising success

Uncertainty is the enemy of success. Marathons and long distance races are run on the law of variables.

If your variables are low there’s a good chance your race strategy will go to plan, more or less. If they don’t, you could be looking at a big chunk of time difference either side of your target.

One of the things you can control on race day is your knowledge of the route and this is particularly important for the full marathon.
