Tips for Race Day
Many of us have race days coming up during the fall marathon and Turkey Trot seasons. Race days are a great opportunity to showcase our preparation and take advantage of the positive vibes offered by others in the run community. In today’s newsletter, we share tips to help you perform at your best on race day. If you’re looking for a more detailed race day guide, check out our Guide to Pre-Race Preparation from a newsletter earlier this year.
3 benefits of race day preparation
1. Navigate unexpected hurdles with ease: Whether it is an unexpected road closure, rainy weather or long lines for bib pickup, preparing for race day allows us to more easily navigate unexpected hurdles that are thrown at us.
2. Keep potential stressors at bay: With the anticipation and excitement of the day, preparing what to do, what to eat and what to wear can help keep potential stressors at bay.
3. Maximize our potential: On race day we want to perform at our best. By properly preparing, we maximize our potential to meet or exceed our race goals.
5 Tips for Race Day
1. Get ready the night before: Get a full night's sleep (7-9 hours), lay out your gear and have a plan for your pre-race nutrition and transportation to the starting line.
2. Have a pre-race morning routine: Rise early, stay relaxed, remain consistent with your habits, fuel up and hydrate .
3. Warm up at the race venue: Give yourself plenty of time at the venue to avoid feeling rushed, warm up effectively and mentally prepare to conquer race day.
4. Stay focused during the race: Pace yourself based on your goals, stay hydrated and push through mental barriers.
5. Recover and reflect post-race: Cool down, refuel, celebrate your accomplishments and analyze your performance to improve in your next race.
