How to prepare for the Palermo Half Marathon?

Preparing for the Palermo Half Marathon requires hill work: the first 5 km climb relentlessly before 8 km of downhill that pound the quadriceps. Train as well for the Mediterranean heat in October. With a 3-hour time limit, aim for an even pace to finish this Sicilian half marathon and enjoy the Quattro Canti without pushing too hard at the Palermo Half Marathon.
