Runners will be training with Apple Watch, working out with Apple Fitness+ and listening to inspiring music on Apple Music. And Apple has announced events that will take place in the days and hours before the big event. Race Day Inspiration And 5K Shakeout Run For example, there’s a 5K run on Thursday, April 23.

It will follow on from a community event held at the Apple Brompton Road store in Knightsbridge called Race Day Inspiration. The event will be chaired by Cory Wharton-Malcom, the Apple Fitness+ trainer whose specialty is running. And the panel includes the celebrated fitness trainer Joe Wicks as well as Hellah Sidibe, Becky Briggs and Sherica Holmon.

The event will include training tips for runners before the 5K shakeout run in Hyde Park (which is right next to the Brompton Road store). Live Podcast With Paula Radcliffe Two days later, on Saturday, April 25, also at the Brompton Road store, Paula Radcliffe, the British former marathon world-record holder will record a live episode of Paula’s Run Club, the podcast she hosts with Chris Thompson, the British long-distance runner and former Olympian. The podcast is going to deal with training and, in what can only be called good timing on the eve of the marathon, they will talk about race-day mindset as well as the role of technology for runners.
