Sri Chinmoy New Year's Day Half-Marathon course.

1. 01

   Count the loops

   The half is a 0.35-mile start loop plus ten 1.27-mile loops around a pancake-flat course. Use the repeated loop to lock into even effort and count laps instead of chasing mile splits.

   Cold start, flat finish

   Aid on repeat

   Aid stations every mile let you practice the same cup-grab spots each 1.27-mile loop. On a flat course, keep drinking early rather than waiting for later laps.

   Landmark rhythm
