With regards to training, try and find a running partner that you can train with, search out any local running clubs or any smaller runs being held. Competing in smaller events can help you build up for the larger competitions. Many people enjoy running whilst listening to music on a personal device, however it is worth trying to run without it so you can hear you pace, which in itself can be quite soothing. It can be tempting if you are training for a big competition to train every day, however this may be putting great strain on your body, try to space your runs out or at least alternate between intense runs with a light one. Varying your routes can help you prevent getting bored.
