Dubai’s Plus500 City Half Marathon returned last weekend for its 6th year, where over 1500 runners descended on DIFC.
The InnerFight Endurance Community came together in full force to race the course which is designed with four loops around and some tricky out and back sections to contend with; this offered runners plenty of opportunities to challenge themselves whilst taking in the sights of the iconic district. All leading up to a spectacular finish right in front of the DIFC Gate Building.
We had 12 athletes taking part, with some incredible results. Some running their first half marathons and others achieving personal bests.
Leading from the front, coach Dan celebrated a fantastic half marathon victory, taking home the win. We also had podium finishes on the 5km distance too!
But beyond the podiums and achievements, the real highlight was the community spirit the defined the morning. The InnerFight Community coming together and pushing each other to the finish line.
If you're ready to take on your first race or aim for a new distance, be it 5km, 10km, a half marathon, or even a full marathon – we’d love to welcome you into the InnerFight Endurance family.

ENGINE
We are going to mix things up a bit this week, varying modalities, time frames and distances designed to push your aerobic capacity.
GYMNASTICS
To kick things off, we will spend some time on Pull-ups and chest-to-bar pull-ups before we move off the rig and onto the floor as we look to break down and develop the Handstand Walk.
HYROX
Working on compromised running this week. Running consistently strong when there is nothing left in your legs is a key skill in Hyrox.
MOBILITY
Improving your overhead mobility will show you how to improve not only flexibility but also stability using a few key exercises that you can do in your own time.
PURE STRENGTH
In Pure Strength this week, we will kick the week off with a mixture of paused and unpaused back squats, followed by some heavy single-leg work. Wednesday sees us continue our progression on the strict press and the stationary dips.
WEIGHTLIFTING
This week in weightlifting we focus on the power snatch and hang power snatch with a series of complexes followed by some EMOM percentage work
