Race fairly regularly - handicap is based on your best 5 performances adjusted for course difficulty but weighted towards more recent performances
Train efficiently - see our training section
Join a club or running group
Don't worry if you have a bad race or just take it easy sometimes - only your best 5 adjusted performances count
Don't worry if you race on a tough course or day - our algorithm adjusts for this
