LSE Athletics and Running

We are delighted to announce our partnership with Alistair Brownlee’s Truefuels. This gel has led to incredible PB’s in our recent half marathon and has been a game-changer for our competitive members seeking performance optimization. Members receive 50% off, read more about this on the second slide or contact the committee members on Whatsapp if interested! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💜

If a two-time Olympic Champion and arguably the GOAT of Triathlon leverages his training and racing experience to create a gel brand, you know it’s going to be good. We are excited to announce our partnership with Alistair Brownlee’s Truefuels. Get ready to optimize your performance, stop hitting the wall, and smash your PB.

We’ve tried Truefuels gels on our training runs, and safe to say, it’s the most delicious gel out there. You’d even struggle to believe how the gel contains 40g of carbs as it’s incredibly easy to digest. Feedback from our competitive members include “rocket fuel” and “PB material”.

So far, all of our competitive members participating in the Malta HM have received 50% off all gels and electrolytes. We are also in the process of opening up the offer to all competitive members, so please keep a look out.
We would like to thank .brownlee for his support in making this happen.

WE’RE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS HALF MARATHON! 🎄🏃

We have collaborated with RAG to bring you this amazing event! The route will take you through the most scenic parts of London; from the Royal Parks such as Primrose Hill, Regent’s and Hyde Park, to the Embankment, as well as the major must-see Christmas lights destinations including Oxford Street, Trafalgar Square Christmas Market and Covent Garden.

This is the perfect way to tick off a first half-marathon, do some sight-seeing, and raise money for RAG’s charity partners: The BayTree Centre, SANE, Safe Passage International. It’s also great value for money compared to other halves! The event is open to any LSE students and staff, so encourage your friends to sign up and give it a go! We want to accommodate anyone who is fit to run the 21.1km route, and so the group will be keeping to a 6:30min/km pace with a break-off group for anyone who wants to run faster. We will also be playing Christmas music to keep the sprits high.

After the event, we will be welcomed back on campus by RAG, where you can treat yourself to a snack and a warm drink at their bake sale!

📌Tickets are already out- get them in the link in our bio ASAP!!!

Key Details:

- Time: 8:00am (sorry we know it’s early but we need to beat the crowds!)
- Meeting point: LSE Globe
- Dress code: Christmas-themed (jumpers, bells, antlers, tinsel… we had some Santas do the whole 21.1km last year!!)
