How to prepare for the Lille International Marathon
To prepare for the Lille International Marathon, focus on consistency at target pace: on this flat marathon, every second gained before the 30th km will be paid for dearly afterward. Schedule your long runs for late morning, with the 11:15 a.m. start time in mind. Test your gels every 5 km, matching the Lille International Marathon’s aid-station frequency.
