Training for the Copenhagen Half Marathon isn’t only about how hard you can push. It’s also about how smart you can recover. Recovery is part of the plan. It’s what keeps you consistent, helps you train with courage, and moves you towards the start line with confidence.

That’s why we’ve gathered 4 ideas on how to recover:

Keep moving
Recovery doesn’t mean a full stop. It means going for a walk, taking the bike to work, or commuting with an easy run. Consider a recovery day as a gift. A chance to move with purpose while keeping your journey to the start line seamless.

Soreness is normal. Pain is a warning. If your legs feel heavy, swap your intervals for a light session or take an extra active recovery day. It will make you stronger for your next training.

Reset your mindset
Now and then, take some time to reflect after your run. How did the pace feel? Did you drink enough? Did you get enough sleep? Using recovery days to reset mentally helps you get the most out of every session.

Recovery IS training
If you want to have a blast on September 14, recovery is necessary. It’s what keeps your engine running, your legs turning over, and your head clear. Because training for CPH Half isn’t only about running hard.

It’s about being smart and getting to race day feeling ready to celebrate every step.
