THE DAYS BEFORE THE RACE
Don’t do
anything new. Race week
isn’t the time to try new shoes, new food or drinks, new gear, or anything else
you haven’t used on several workouts. Stick with the routine that works for
you.
Get off
your feet. In the
days before you race, try to stay off your feet as much as possible. Relax, and
leave the lawn mowing or shopping or sightseeing for after the race.
Graze,
don’t chow down. Rather
than devouring a gigantic bowl of pasta the night before the race, which could
upset your stomach, try eating carbs in small increments throughout the day
before the race.
Put your
hands on your bib. The night
before the race, lay out your clothes, and pin your bib on the front of your t-shirt.
That’s the one thing you need at the starting line. Don’t show up without it!
